of London, having reached even now a total of
£4,450 or thereabouts. Upwards of £2OO having
been transmitted to his lordship, in amounts
ranging from £1 to £5O, during yesterday.
In his capacity as President of the Com-
mittee of Relief, we rejoice to observe,
moreover, that the chief magistrate of our
metropolis has appealed to the provincial mayors
throughout the country, and in like manner to the
clergy generally, beseeching them in the name
of the Central Committee to co-operate in the
good work as speedily and energetically
as may be in any way practicable. " The details,"
says the LORD MAYOR in this his circular appeal,
"The details which have appeared in the news-
papers sufficiently demonstrate the necessity of im-
mediate relief being supplied, and it is therefore
intended to remit to India as large an amount as
possible by the Marseilles mail leaving on the 3d
proximo "—that is by next Wednesday. May GOD
speed the good work during the brief interval that
alone now remains before the date of this next
mail's departure ! With every pound that may be
subscribed a life may be saved ! It is a momentous
consideration.

We must all laugh, of course, when the duel
comes off on the Tiverton hustings between Lord
PALMERSTON and Mr. ROWCLIFFE. This time
between the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports and
the Tiverton butcher. The worthy butcher is not
to be daunted by former defeats ; indeed it may be
doubted -whether he regarded them as defeats. The
jokes and humour of the merry Premier of 75 are,
most likely, hardly understood by the rough trades-
man—he is accustomed to dealing with very solid
food, and he does not know what to make of such
syllabub and trifle as the Premier excels in. PAL-
MERSTON, of course, had the better of it with
ROWCLIFFE before the meeting. The humorous hits
told better than the harder hits. Yet somehow
the pluck of the butcher had its appropriate cheers
too. It was said at the Birmingham election that
Mr. BRIGHT was the only man that could tackle
Lord PALMERSTON, but Tiverton certainly knows
better than that, and can boast a ROWCLIFFE, who
can stand up to the Premier as sternly as the re-
doubtable Birmingham orator.
Lord PALMERSTON opened the fight, with the
announcement of his unprofitable honour just
received from her MAJESTY, which had given him
the pleasure of an occasion for a word with his dear
old friends, faithful to him as he to them, for a
quarter of a century ; the height of his ambition
being to represent Tiverton, Tiverton also having,
we presume, no higher ambition than to be repre-
sented by PALMERSTON. The severe summer last
year, the consequent trials of the people, their mar-
vellous good behaviour, the blessing of Corn-law
repeal, and the great industry of the House of
Commons this session, were the home topics of his
speech.

On Foreign Affairs he was far more copious. The
war threatened in March had not come with March,
and ho hoped April would pass away in like man-
ner, and all the summer too. But come what
would England was ready for anything, we had
a navy and a band of volunteers which made us of
some importance in Europe, and by our position
and diplomatic action we had aided the cause of
constitutionalism all over Europe, till Russia stood
alone in being destitute of representative assem-
blies ; and even the CZAR was taking the grand
step towards it, of creating the freemen, who
would one day be electors. Tho continent was no
longer one vast camp of despotism, from the
Mediterrlnean to the German Ocean. France in
her way, Spain and Portugal, Italy, Prussia,
Austria itself—the whole continent was folldw-
ing the example of this country ; and a proud
thing it was for Euglani to be the example,
which all desired to follow. America was
the only dark spot in the horizon ; there
it was not for us to interfere, but one
hope we all had, that settle the difficulty how
they would—it would be without the horrors of
fratricidal war.

Now this was all very pleasant, the people and
the House of Commons both behaving as they ought,
at home, and foreign countries imitating our good
example ; but not so pleasant did things look to
the knight of the marrowbones and cleaver. He
had a question to put to Lord PALMERSTON,
whereupon spectators or auditors—we hardly
know which to say—cheered in both styles of
cheering, and laughed heartily—" ask it then "
" Well, the noble lord had been speaking about
foreign affairs—(Lord PALMERSTON nodded assent
and smiled)—but he (Mr. ROWCLIFFE) had not
heard anything about home affairs, about the mass,
those who produced the wealth of the country. He
wanted to ask him something about those who stood
around him. Lord PALMERSTON had not said a
word about the non-electors. (' Hasn't he ?') Now,
it was his duty as the trustee of the non-electors
standing around him to ask him what he had done
with the Reform Bill. (This hit' produced a com-
plete outburst of laughter, in which the noble lord
himself heartily joined.) Well, he (Mr. It.) said
that they, her M tJESTY'S Ministers, and Lord PAL-
MERSTON, had pledged themselves to carry the
Reform Bill into the law of the land." The Whigs
had pledged themselves to economy, but they had
only made laws costing a great deal of money, and
they "had not carried out their pledge about the
Reform Bill." But the hardest hit of all, one to which
none of the Premier's subsequent jokes ever alluded,
too sad a matter that, indeed, for joking, was the
following :—" Now, Lord PALMERSTON must see it
himself, but the large majority which he had in
the House of Commons was dwindling down down
—why, it was almost a minority," to which the
meeting responded with-- hear, hear, bravo, he's
plucky. " Why was this P" goes on the butcher
prator—q because there was no honest reform."

Mr. ROWCLIFFE then varied his discourse between
the corruption of the House of Commons and the
Reform Bill—they had not 100 honest men in the
house—the proof being the bribery commissions
and the petitions—then the Reform Bill—'why
did •
did you not give us one?"—" Lord PALMERSTON
would trust his servants with his jewels and silver
and money, but would not trust them with a
vote." Mr. MILNER GIBSON had had a plum
given him, a piece of information which seemed
new to his lordship, at least, we are told, he
laughed outright at so droll an idea, as that of
a seat in the Cabinet, and the French treaty
having any influence on Mr. GIBSON'S politics.
To do Mr. ROWCLIFFE justice, he by no means
shirked the responsibility of advising a Premier.
" Why," he asked, " had Lord PALMERSTON come
down to Tiverton ? Why, to gull the people. But
you can't gull me, my lord—nor can you gull the
working men. I tell you you don't see them in
the Town Hall surrounding you or cheering you
now. My advice to you is to go back to
Downing-street and tell your colleagues the
bit of advice which I will give you, (" Ad-
vising Lord PALMERSTON, is it ; oh cricket',"
and laughter.") Tell them they must bring
in an honest, pure, and just Reform Bill, and then the
people will rally around you. But that humbug-
ging measure. I tell you the people of this country
will no longer allow you to do it ; they will no
longer allow you to carry on the "double shuffle;"

and to the last Reform was the text and almost the
sermon, too, of Mr. ROWCLIFFE.
How Lord PALMERSTON polished off Mr. Row-
.
CLIFFE, wished him to- enter the House of Com-
mons, that they might then have 101
honest men there ; how nicely he slipped
off the Reform Bill noose; how he acknowledged
that the fear of early dissolution was the chief rea-
son why the Commons did not like to pass a Reform
Bill ; how he was not goose enough to offer it
another this year; how the country was not too
much protected, (Mr. ROWCLIFFE having only said
too much money was spent), and how his Lordship
forgot the Dockyards report, which would have
explained how so much was spent ; how he had
voted for Mr. LoCKE KING'S motion, and purposed
to vote for Mr. BAINES,—not adding that he could
do this with safety to the cause so dear to him of
Anti-Reform ;—how Lord PALMERSTON did all
these things we need not describe.
We cannot, however, forget that the butcher gave
him some strong meat, which he did not seem in-
clined to attack. He did not meddle with the fact
of elections since the general election, going so much
against him; he did not explain how it was that
several Liberal constituences did not think it worth
while to trouble themselves to return Palmerstonian
candidates. Indeed we strongly suspect that no
amount of wit and humour could explain away
this awkward fact. The reason he must have known
as well as any ones He quite understands that
it was the double shuffle—proffering to the
country to carry a Reform Bill, and even taking
office upon the strength of it, and whispering to
the House of Commons—" if you like to block its
way you can ; but I must seem as if I was angry
with you." The truth is, PALMERSTON and Co.
have used up their foreign policy dodge,
they being now as bad Austrians as Lord DERBY
and his colleagues; and as to Reform, why, the
country knows it will never get it from the Whigs.

There is an intimation from Hungary which may
mean a great deal more than strikes the reader at
first sight—the Emperor of AUSTRIA does not
intend to open the Diet in person. Why not ? Is
it because he is not yet King of HUNGARY ? Is it
because the affidavit of KOSSUTH is made to a
patent legal fact, and that FERDINAND V., his
uncle, when he abdicated the throne of
the Austrian Empire, did not abdicate that
of the Hungarian kingdom, and that all
the cajolery of the Austrian Court cannot persuade
the poor weak man to do it ? We strongly sus
pect that it is for this reason the Prince Primate
will open the Diet. The Hungarians have taken
their stand on the firm ground of loyalty. Even
such laws and arrangements of 1848-9 as they
think bad they are prepared to abide by, till they
can be altered legally by the Diet. They
will accept nothing, not good more than bad,
through an Imperial decree. And in this they are
perfectly right. Their legal constitution, when
restored to activity, would enable them to rectify
all that it is desirable to change, very promptly ;
but if they once allow the Emperor of AUSTRIA,
or even a King of HUNGARY, alone, to make their
laws, there is, so far as precedent goes, an immediate
abrogation of their constitution. Nothing through
Vienna and the EMPEROR, everything through
the lawful King of HUNGARY and the Diet, is their
sacred principle. We in England can well under-
stand this. In the time of the Seven Bishops, the
Dissenters, who would have enjoyed the benefit of
it, would not acknowledge the dispensing power
claimed by JAMES 11. ; and at this day, if Queen
VICTORIA of her own motion should issue writs
for an election on the best Reform principles, the
most Radical Reformers would not act upon them.
And this is just the position of the Hungarians.
They will not have liberty through despotism.
What an autocrat can give an autocrat can take
away. They deny that he can abrogate a consti-
tution of a thousand years old, or that he can
modify the pragmatic sanction to which he also
owes the Hungarian Crown ; and the Emperor of
AUSTRIA, therefore, we suspect, thinks it easier to
settle first the preliminary question—whom the
Hun garians will acknowledge as legal King of their
country.

As to the rumours of collision between the Aus-
trians and Piedmontese, we can but think they
are rumours only. Austria increases, some say, her
strength in Venetia, and makes strategic move-
ments on the Po; while the Sardinian army is
augmented, and largely, too, and CIALDINI is
placed in command there. But the Sardinians have
work on hand of another kind at Rome, and could
gain, it would seem, nothing by precipitation, while
Austria is losing everything without a single battle.
She is losing her money when she does not know
where to find any, in military expenses; and,
what is quite as much in favour of Sardinia,
every section of her empire is not only
learning but acting on the purely national prin-
ciples, which will dispose them all to agree that
Venetia belongs to Italy not to the Germans. We
should not be much surprised if even the
Imperial Reichsrath itself should moot this doctrine,
perhaps accept, and act upon it. Hungary, of
course, would do so. She is ready, were it pos-
sible, to fight against the Hapsburg for the Italian.
Indeed, her sons have done this already in Italy,
and are ready to return home and fight for their
fatherland. How deplorable that England's
Foreign
.Secretary should obstruct them ! We
observe that the Sardinian ambassador has
protested against the employment of the Banshee,
one of her MAJESTY'S ships, to convey arms
from Galatz to Constantinople which had
been carried by Genoese vessels to the Danube and
seized there at the instance of the Austrian Am-
bassador. We hope this proceeding of our Foreign
Secretary, which we hesitate to characterise as it
deserves, will be brought before the House of Com-
mons again and again, and made the text for many
a speech which shall warn Lord JOHN RUSSELL
that the English people are as interested in Hun-
gary as he and they have been in Italy.

By the frontier mail, which arrived in Cape Town
on the 20th of February, important intelligence had
been received from the interior respecting the
Zambesi Mission, connected with the London Mis-
sionary Society. It will be remembered that some
months ago information reached London of the
sudden decease of the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Helmore,
the Rev. Mr. Price's child, and several natives
forming the mission party at Linyanti, the station
of the Makalolo tribe under the chief Sekuletu. The
Rev. Mr. Price, with his wife, and Mr. Helmore's
surviving children, after losing their friends, at
once took leave of Sekuletu's place ; but, as they
had little knowledge of the country into which they
passed, fears were entertained for their safety, as
well as that of the Rev. Mr. J. Mackenzie, who it
was known had left the station at Bamangwate to
proceed to join the mission at Linyanti. An explor-
ing party, headed by the venerable Robert Moffat,
and aided by funds from friends in the colony, was
sent out from Kuruman in search of them. On the
twelfth day after leaving Kurman they met with
a messenger bearing letters for the Rev. Mr. Moffat,
and informing him that the Rev. Messrs. Price and
Mackenzie were safe at Lechulatebe's Town, at Lake
Ngami. The Rev. Mr. Price had a perilous jour-
ney from Linyanti, but his chief misfortune through-
out it was the loss of Mrs. Price, who died on the
way.

Her Majesty's steamship Cyelops, Capt. Pullen,
which left Table Bay on the 17th of February,
arrived the next day in Simon's Bay, where she
was at anchor when the Athens left.

TLe steam transport Indomitable, with the 24th
Regiment on board, was spoken on Feb. 14 by the
Laughing Water, Capt. Newman, which arrived in
Algoa Bay the same day.
At Table Bay were the transport steamers Mau-
ritius and Melbourne, and the ships Alfred and
Mars.

At St. Helena were her Majesty's ship Prome-
theus, the troopships Renown, Newcastle, Cold-
stream,Windsor Castle, and Holmsdale; the Alma,
ana uue Dam Agricola.

At Ascension were her Majesty's ship Meander
and the Diligentia, with rudder damaged.
The Athens spoke, March 17, lat 22 50 N., long

strong S.E trades for two days, and afterwards
very light ; lost the S.E trades on the Equator, then
had four days' calm. Got N E trades in 11 N lat,
had N.E trades very strong, lost them N. lat 29 N,
since which had calms for two days, afterwards
