PROTEST OF THE HUNGARIAN

EXILES IN AMERICA.
The Hungarian fugitives and exiles in New York
have issued a solemn protest against all the acts com-
mitted by the Austrian Government in their country.
The protest opens as follows :—" We, the under-
signed natives of the kingdom of Hungary, and of the
provinces indissolubly united with the Crown of that
country, as the only members of the nation who are
able to express themselves with perfect freedom,
and to raise their: voice for the sacred:cause of their
oppressed country, declare hereby, in the name of
God the sternal and the Just, the Defender and
Avenger of Trutb, in the face of the whole civilised
world, and under full conviction that we express the
sentiments of the whole Hungarian nation, as fol-
lows"—(Here follow resolutions passed at the exiles'
meeting).
These resolutions are sold in New York by
thousands, and are being prepared for circulation in
Europe.

EARLY INTELLIGENCE.—By the courtesy of W.
Byers, Esq., the manager of the Scottish Midland Railway,
we were yesterday afternoon, at a quarter past six o'clock,
favoured with a copy of the fourth edition of The Sun of
the previous evening—about twenty-one hours •from Lon-
don. It is almost intolerable that the same paper should,
by the present postal arrangements be delivered only on the
forenoon of the day following that on which it can be se-
cured by a railway parcel.—Aberdeen Herald.
GAPE or Goon Horz.—One day's later news
from the Cape of Good Hope informs us that the Neptune
convict ship took its departure from the colonial waters at
eight o'clock A.m. on the 21st of February. In the evening
of that day). a general illumination took place, when the
city was never known to have presented a gayer scene. The
houses of the poor as well as of the 'rich contributed their
portion of light to the dazzling blaze, while the streets
were thronged with spectators gazing with rapture on the
splendid view around them.
LIVERPOOL, APRIL 18.—The Navigator, which
sailed from Buenos Ayres on the 14th February, has, after
a passage of sixty-four days, arrived in the Mersey, but does
not bring any news whatever. Freights were dull, and
business generally quiet.

LONDON HOSPITAL—The anniversary dinner in
aid of the funds of this old and useful charity was yesterday
held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street ; his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge (the president) in the
chair. From his Royal Highness's appeal in behalf of the in-
stitution, it appeared that its annual expenditure amounted
to 15,00GL, while its fixed income was 10,0001., and that con-
sequently the balance of 5,0001. had to be raised by voluntary
subscriptions. The number of inpatients admitted during
the year was, it appeared, 4,402 ; of out-patients, including
accidents treated as out-patients, 16,816; while the total
number of patients since its foundation was 925,616. After
the usual loyal toasts and the healths of the various officers
of the institution, the company dispersed.
Thomas Kilpack, the proprietor of the "American
Bowling Saloon," King-street, Covent-garden, was yesterday
fined 101. by the Court of Inland Revenue for retailing spi-
rituous liquors without a licence.

At a general meeting of the Middlesex Magistrates,
yesterday, reports were presented from the visiting justices
of the various prisons in the county, and a recommendation
made for a diminution in the staff of officials in the House of
Correction in Coldbath-fields. The proposal of the com-
mittee on county expenditure to disallow for the future all
fees to coroners for inquests held in cases where death oc-
curred from felony, and in which the perpetrator had been
apprehended, was fixed for the 30th May.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, APRIL 18.—The
market to-day was quiet, owing to cotton being more freely
offered in Liverpool yesterday and to-day. Prices were
eteady at the advance asked on Tuesday. Domestics do not
part ake of the advance, and are still a drug upon the market.
On the whole, the business to-day has not been extensive,
but there was more inquiry that" earlier in the week.
WATERFORD AND LIMERICK RAILWAY.—We
have niuch pleasure in being enabled to state, upon what we
deem exeollent authority, that the arrangements necessary to
be made to further the formation of this noble line to Fid-
down have been all but completed, and that a very brief
space of time will elapse before the works thereon will be
proceeded with.— Tipperary Free ♦ress.

GUANO.—An account of all guano imported into
the United Kingdom in each of the years from 1841 to 1849
inclusive has just been published. The return called for in-
cluded the years 1838 to 1849, but as guano was not speci-
fically charged with duty until 1841, no account of the im-
portations for those years could be rendered. The largest
quantity imported in any year during the period to which
the account refers was 283,300 tons in 1845, and the smallest,
2,881 tons in 1841. The quantity imported in 1849 was
83,438 tons. The countries furnishing the greater portion
of these imports are Peru and Bolivia, Chili, the western
coast of Africa, and the colonial territory of the Cape of
Good Hope. From Peru and Bolivia the imports have gra-
dually risen from 1,000 and 2,000 tons to 73,567 tons in
1849 ; from Chili the largest importation of guano was 11,956
tons, in 1145, since which the importation has decreased to
4,311 tons in 1849. From Africa the first importation of
guano was in 1843, when 175 tons were brought in ; in 1845
the imports rose to 207,679 tons; in 1840 they were 950, and
in 1849 they were 2,045 tons. From the Cape of Good Hope
the first importations were in 1844, and amounted to 253
tons; the next year 46,848 tons were imported from this
place, and in 1849, 767 tans.
ORPHAN WORKING SCHOOL, HAVERSTOCK HILL,
HAMPSTEAD-ROAD.—The ninety-second anniversary of the
charity was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishops-
gate-street; John Remington Mills, Esq., president of the
institution, in the chair, supported on his right by Sheriff
Nicoll. The musical arrangements were under the direction
of Mr. Genge, assisted by Masters Wheatley and Smith, Mr.
Shoubridge, Mr. Lawler, and Mr. Farquharson Smith, who
presided at the pianoforte. In proposing the toast of the
evening, " Prop perity to the Orphan Working School," the
chairman alluded to the presence of M. E. Ducpetiaux, in-
spector-general of schools, &c., in Belgium. M. Ducpetiaux
returned thanks, and declared that having examined many
charitable institutions in England, he hoped that the example
set by us would be adopted throughout the civilized world.
The amount of subscriptions announced was 634/. Iss. Mr.
Higgs was the toastmaster on the occasion, who discharged
his duty with his usual judgment.

SEIKEI COINAGE.—The last symbol of Seikh supre-
macy in the Punjaub is about to pass away. The coinage of
Runjeet Singh and his successors is to be called in with the
least practicable delay, to be assayed and melted down at
Lahere, and forwarded for recoinage to Calcutta or Bombay,

HAPPINESS AS A MORAL AGENT.—That
gives happiness, we all know; but if it be true, that m Oyov,
ness contributes to virtue, the principle furnishes 0:00
some sort of excuse for the errors and excesses of able )lideld
men, at the bottom of life, fretting with impatience,. being
their obscurity, and hatching a thousand chimaeras o', or
neglected and overlooked by the world. The naturel. et
for these errors is, the sunshine of prosperity : as thbeita' 01/1,
happier, they get better; and learn, from the respe°,llol3/
they receive from others, to respect themselves. Al,"
ever," says Mr. Lancaster (in his book just publishe,"(o
met with a boy particularly mischievous, I made 'e
monitor : I never knew this fail." The cause for the PCB

of doubt.—Sydney Smith. ply
