. .THE,-GENERAL, ASSEMBLY
, . WHAT IS SEDITION ?
(From the Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle.)
The length to which members of the General As-
sembly have gone in the spirit of physical force
chartism, has of late suggested the question to our
friends, in reading their proceedings, "what is sedi-
tion ?" We know that Muir, Palmer, and other
worthies, were transported within the last fifty years,
and that hundreds of Chartists were imprisoned with-
in the last three years, for what was called " sedition ;"
and we know, too, that in the General Assembly
words are reported to have been used, which, taking
all the circumstances into account, appear to our
minds even more objectionable than those for
which the penalties of the law were inflicted on some
of the political martyrs and Chartists; yet we cannot
venture to bring forward even this unfavourable com-
parison, as a proof that the members of Assembly are
justly chargeable with sedition, because we have
always believed that a number of political martyrs
and Chartists, to whom we have referred, were un-
justly condemned.
The speech of the Rev. Dr. Chalmers on Tuesday
evening, filled as it was with the most insulting re-
flections on the decisions of our Supreme Courts,
which he treated with the utmost scorn, describing
them as arbitrary and tyramiical in the extreme,
and fit only to be held up to public reprobation,
was in the worst spirit of the Feargus O'Connor
school of oratory, and certainly calculated to stir up
the worst passions of that very small section of the
people who feel any interest in his sayings and
doings, or that of his party.
The speech of Mr. E. Monteith, Sheriff of Fife,
was, if possible, still more objectionable than,that of
Dr. Chalmers, considering that he is the paid servant
of the State—one of her Majesty's inferior Judges
—and consequently bound by. every legal and
moral tie, to inculcate submission to, and respect
for, her Majesty's Government for the time
being, and for the acts of the Legislature,
as expounded by the only authorised inter-
preters, the Supreme Judges of the land, consti-
tuting the Court of Session. But in place of follow-
ing this course in his speech on Monday, his object
appeared to be to hold up both the Government and
the Supreme Courts to public odium, and that, for-
sooth, because they seemed determined honestly to
perform their duty, by enforcing obedience to what
they believed to be the law of the land, although op-
posed by an insolent and domineering priesthood, and
their abettors the Non-Intrusion elders—for it is per-
fectly notorious that the great body of the people
are opposed to the plans of this small but well organ-
ised body of Church officials. According to the re-
port of his speech, as given in the organ of the party,
the Witness, he said :
" But it ought to be recollected that we have been
unsuccessful in all our former efforts, and we became
more and more satisfied that our failure arose from
our not striking at once at the root of the matter.
We had tried to reconcile Non-Intrusion and pa- 1
tronage, but we found them to be irreconcilable. We
know not what the Government intend to propose—we
know not what the Right Hon. Secretary may intend
—but if the Government intend to allow him to ride
rough-shod over the Church of Scotland, we tell
him boldly that it will only be over the dead
bodies of her sons.—(Great applause.) That is what
we ought at once to tell the Government. All
ought to respond to the call which has been made
upon the Church to protest against patronage. l
hope the call will be manfully responded to on this
side of the house, and I trust not one of us will quail
under the consequences.—(Hear, hear.) I would
warn my friends on this side, that there is no safety
in flight—be firm, therefore, in the cause; nail your
colours to the mast, and victory will be yours.—(Ap-
plause.) If you yield now, if you submit to be
taunted by your opponents, that all your agitation
has been but a mere bluster—if you allow it to be
affirmed of you, that when the Court of Session comes
1 to your door, you will forget all your former princi-
ples and professions—that you will keep your stipends,
and forego the interests of the Church, then you will
deserve to suffer. But I am sure I speak the sense
of the great majority of the house, when I say that,
cost what it will, we shall never submit to a settle-
ment of the question on any lower ground than the
absolute security of the principles of spiritual inde-
pendence and Non-Intrusion.--(Hear, hear.)"
Here this paid servant of the State appears to in-
timate, that if her Majesty's Ministers shall, through
the proper accredited channel, the Secretary of State
for the Home Department, perform the duty which,
as her Majesty's responsible advisers, they have
solemnly sworn to perform, that of enforcing by the
strong arm of power, if needful, obedience to the law
of the land, as interpreted by the Supreme Courts,
their proceedings will be opposed by physical force ;
and that if the resistance shall ultimately be overcome,
this can only be effected by
.calling in the aid of an
armed force ; and that even in that case, the resist-
ance will be of such a determined character, that her
Majesty's authority will be vindicated only by the
slaughter of the Non-Intrusionists, by riding rough-
shod over the small party forming a majority of the
Church Courts, assuming to itself the title of " The
Church of Scotland," and " over the dead bodies of
her sons ! ! ! "

THE CONFLAGRATION AT
HAMBORGH.

HAMBITEGII, FRIDAY, MAY 27.--The state of the
ocal Fire Insurance Companies causes much un-
easiness here, as the parties interested in their stability
are very numerous, and the amount of property, for
the restitution of which these Companies are respon-
sible, is by no means trifling. Considering the great
number of people who have been year after year re-
gularly paying their insurance-money, the failure of
any of these concerns will produce a degree of misery
only surpassed by that already resulting from the
dreadful conflagration of which this city has been the
victim. The rumours current respecting them
are not of a nature to give much satisfaction to
those parties who, having insured, hitherto re-
lied on the certainty of receiving the full value
of their property in the event of its being destroyed
by fire; and the feeling of irritation which must
ensue, should this confidence in the present instance
be disappointed, will add to the many difficulties
created by the ruin of a large portion of this city. It
is not easy to reason with suffering individuals, espe-
cially when they constitute a multitude; and, atter
taking every precaution which prudence could suggest
to secure their property, it is not likely that they will
be satisfied, when they are told, now that they are
reduced to a state of destitution, that the destruction
of property is almost unparalleled ; that they must
wait patiently until affairs are arranged, and after all
expect to receive but a portion of the compensation to
which they are strictly entitled. The poor, thanl
God ! are well provided for ' • and as a proof of this, 1
can state, that since 1 have been here I have scarcely
seen one beggar in the streets ; but the painful embar-
rassments of the middle classes, now reduced to the
same level of poverty, it is not possible to calculate.
Though little transpires here officially respecting
the measures taken to relieve the condition of these
classes, it is generally understood that the Committee
of Aid neglect no means of assistance which the
amount of the funds at their disposal, and a prudent
desire to render them available for as long a period as
possible, enable them to adopt. In addition to the
steps already taken to relieve the middle classes, it is
projected to form a company for the purpose of ad-
vancing money on goods. A portion of the sums re-
mitted from England, amounting to about 8001., has
been forwarded direct to Colonel Hodges, the British
Consul, at whose suggestion a Committee, consisting
of some of the most respectable British residents, was
promptly formed. Through the intervention of this
Committee, the money.is laid out in the way desired
by those who have so benevolently subscribed it; and
every care is taken to relieve such British subjects as
may have been sufferers by the fire.
There is a class of persons, sufferers by the fire,
whose fate excites peculiar commisseration. These
are the mortgagees of the burnt houses. It is cus-
tomary here for the property of orphans, widows, and
small capitalists, to be invested in this way upon
houses ; and I am informed that there are few houses
to which a mortgage of this kind is not attached.
These mortgagees, consequently, will be totally
ruined, unless their income, derivable from the house
property, be in some shape or other restored to them ;
and in the mean time the suspension of their regular
receipts subjects them to extreme difficulty. Those
who think that the State will raise a loan to rebuild
the city, and most people incline to the opinion that
this is the only step which, in existing circumstances,
can be adopted, also believe that the Government will
take upon itself, as a first measure, the payment of the
interest to which these unfortunate sufferers are
entitled for the money which they have invested in
houses.

Subscriptions are being daily sent from all parts of
the Continent to this town. Accounts from Berlin
of the 24th instant state that 12,590 dollars had been
collected. ' At Augsburgh, before any public sub-
Feriptions were opened, a certain number of mer-
chants had subscribed 10,640 marks banco. At St.
I'etersburgh, independent of the present made by the
Emperor of Russia, a subscription had been set on
foot by the Duke of Leuchtenberg, among the Impe-
rial family, the amount of which, it is stated, did not
fall short of 140,000 silver rubles.

A considerable crowd was collected a few days
since, in the Rue Beauregard, before a house from which
loud cries Froceeded. Suddenly the glass of a window was
dashed to pieces, the casement thrown open, and a man forced
Out a woman whom he held only by the hair of her head over
the street. A. cry of horror burst from the persons below—
mattresses were placed on the place where the unfortunate
woman was to fall, but she, by a desperate effort, succeeded in
catching the window-sill, and at last, after creeping up, pushed
in the man, who struggled with her. The guard arrived
nearly at the same moment, and arrested the ruffian, who was
c ndutted to the guard-house, amidst the groans and hisses of
the crowd.

BRITISH AND HUNGARIAN
COMMERCE.

" Advanced Sentinels of Civilization," from the
vantage ground upon which, day and night, we hold
our watch, we were the first to discern, in Hungary,
a new land of promise—open for the enterprises of our
commercial men—ready for the relief of our manu-
facturing districts, glutted with the over-energy of
artificial production. The Hungarians themselves,
overwhelmed with the natural, infinitely varied,
and inexhaustible produce of their prolific soil—
hemmed in by their political topography, and by
the restrictive laws of the mother country cut
off from external commerce -- the Hungarians, we
repeat, were the first to respond to our call. The
news of Sir Robert Peel's new tariff has made
their feelings reach the highest pitch of enthu-
siasm. Our cautious commercial men, in their
turn, are at last awakened to their interests, and
day after day we hear of fresh movements amongst
the monied portion of the community, having all for
their tendency commerce with Hungary. All the
information necessary is obtained, and the basis upon
which they are to proceed .is now established. The
most influential men in Hungary have sent over de-
clarations of their fi rin. decision to join heart and hand
in any project. From the Archduke Palatine,
who governs so liberally the country, down to
the lowest of the " one-house Nobles, (Anglice,
yeomen) who sit in the " County Congrega-
tions"--every respectable inhabitant of Hungary
appears to aspire after a commercial intercourse so
devoutly to be wished for. Now there remains but
the action of diplomacy to accelerate and firmly es-
tablish the success of that combination of English and
Hungarian men of enterprise, who have already put
forth their energies, and have begun to place them-
selves in a position of virtual and positive action.
If any slower-minded persons could for a moment
think that, under the circumstances of both countries,
delay would be unimportant, the movements of a re-
presenlative of another free country would shame
their indifference to the anxiety of our suffering
manufacturers. The representative of the United
States at the Court of Vienna has already made
energetic advances to Prince Metternich, with a view
to form a direct communication betwixt America
and Hungary. Should we be the last in the field ?
Under two widely-differing Administrations, the
brothers of two successive Ministers of the English
Crown have held the office of British Ambassador at
Vienna. There are two courses to follow, in a posi-
tion of such close relationship to the great man of
Home influence. The one is, to indulge in a plea-
surable somnolency on the strength of such near
kindred; the other is, to exert one's-self so as to in-
crease the credit and the value of the services of the
brother at home by the exertions of the other brother
abroad. The latter is the course which we are sure
that able diplomatist Sir Robert Gordon will adopt—
even should it make his predecessor shudder, as,
with the luxury of a lazzaroni's dolce niente far, he
gazes on the softly rippling summer waves in the
Bay of Naples.
As to Prince Metternich, we can only judge of
the course he will follow by the conduct he has
always held in moments of crisis. We feel well
assured that this great statesman, viewing the ex-
citement of the public mind in Hungary, will not
belie the whole course of his glorious career by a
want of foresight, energy, and magnanimity on the
present occasion. When the great Canning, rising
in the House of Commons, and borroiving the simile
of the poet, threatened he would let forth against the
country which resisted his plans the imprisoned
winds of Liberalism—Canning, we repeat, who so
soon repented, showed himself a great orator, but
not a great politician. No statesman can keep such
winds incarcerated—for, like steam, they require
safety valves, or, by increase of pressure, they burst
out of themselves, and destroy all that surround
them. The effervescence in Hungary is of this
character. We feel convinced that not only Prince
Metternich has no idea of untoward resistance, but
that the safety-valve of concession has long been
prepared. This once applied, the elements of de-
struction will be turned into a means of increased
power by the able engineer. The Hungarians, once
reconciled, by attention to their urgent wants and
first prayers, and once fully employed in the pur-
suits of commerce, 'will feel with us that the Govern-
ment of Austria is an example to every other mother
country in the universe, for the ability and gentle-
ness of its sway. But our readers, many of whom
have never thought of Hungary but as a land of
chivalry and romance, affording imperial tokay to the
table of the epicure, or a picturesque dress for a fancy
ball—our readers, we repeat, will expect some positive
data to support our assertions as regards that land of
promise. We will only at present offer the following
on the spur of the moment.
The first consideration is the disposition of the na-
tives with regard to this country. The Hungarians,
who are a high-minded fr*e nation (a great portion of
whom are Protestants), carry their predilection for
England to such a degree as to be swayed by it even
in trifles. An Hungarian tailor commends himself
to favour by proclaiming that his are the last Lon-
don fashions, and the manufacturers at Vienna trade
under false colours, having labels printed in this
country to affix to their manufactures to give them
greater currency in Hungary. But the feelings of
the Hungarian community has sought its formal ex-
pression in the most authentic documents. We have
before us legal instruments, in which the greatest
men of the land loudly proclaim the advantages both
countries will derive from unrestricted intercourse
under the sanction of Austria, and their readiness to
join heart and hand with English capitalists in bring-
ing the compact to bear. The following are the

Hungary is a country which, whilst abounding in
the richest natural products, is totally destitute of
every article of manufactures of a superior description ;
in the former natural treasures we will find the ready
payment for our artificial products. The duty of 60
per cent. on both exports and imports of Hungary is
the legacy of an absolete and barbarous fiscality, and
is disgraceful and disastrous to the mother country,
and totally at variance with the high-minded paternal
rule of Austria. Lacking at this moment time and
space, we will expose on the earliest opportunity the
many other points of view and the innumerable facts
which make us consider the prospect of commerce
with Hungary as one of the greatest hopes of our
manufacturing industry.—Morning Post.

NEWEST LONDON AND PARIS
FASHIONS FOR JUNE:
(From the World of Fashion Monthly Magazine.)
BONNETS.—PaiIIes de Riz. These bonnets will
certainly be the greatest favourites for afternoon
toilettes. Some are lined with silk glace, pink or
blue; the interior of the brim surrounded with pale
pink or blue tulle ruches, the garniture composed of
velvet ribbons, lignes and shaded. Others are lined
with coloured gauzes, the brides formed of a very
light small flower, and the outside decorated with
white lace and splendidly drooping feathers, mostly
shaded in the same colour. Fancy straws are much
worn for morning costumes, the most fashionable be-
ing decorated with the Josephine crowns, which are
simply a wreath of bluets or roses, which form the cen-
tre of the erown, and gradually diminishing on each side.
We have seen one or two trimmed with a light style of
gauze ribbon and shaded marabouts, which are also
very pretty. A most charming style of bonnet are
those made in white crepe, the form raised, and
trimmed on one side with a bouquet of roses, and on
the other with two small rosettes in ribbon, composed
of white taffetas, approaching close to each other ;
also those made in straw coloured poult de soie, the
form slightly raised, and trimmed with a bavolet very
deep, in order to avoid the head being too uncovered
at the back ; shallow in the centre of the front, and
low on the cheeks, ornamented with a long white
plume, nuee, straw colour ; a small garland of roses
decorating the inside. Others in pink poult de soie,
the form raised, and trimmed round the front with
three folds of crepe rose, and three slanting feathers of
the same colour placed upon the left side of the bonnet.
CAPS.—Estelle. This pretty cap is made of gauze,
light as a puff of summer air, and is intermixed with
nceuds of gauze ribbon, blue glace white, with long
floating ends attached. Many other new styles of
caps are beginning to be worn ; they are composed en-
tirely of lace, which is placed so,as in some measure
to cover the front part of the head, the lappets on each
side being made perfectly straight, and the crown of
a moderate size. It is now considered bad taste to
wear the cap too much at the back of the head : for
instance, a little papillion a la villageoise, plain in the
form, but embroidered and encircled with a Brussels
edging, or, instead of its being plain, with large folds.
Some have the ears sufficiently long to admit of their
forming on each side two small barbes, sometimes re-
lieved with a nceud of ribbon, or a small cluster of rose
buds.

LES ROBES VICTORIA.—This is one of the greatest
novelties of the present season. The sleeves are
made perfectly plain, the skirt very long, and the
corsage cut in a becoming shape, setting close to the
figure, and yet allowing of ease and liberty to all the
movements. A very delicate fancy silk trimming of
well-assorted colours, and forming an exquisite de-
sign, is placed over each of the large and principal
seams, giving it a very new and becoming effect.
These dresses are each calculated to show a good figure
off to the greatest advantage.
Peignoirs in organdy are now being much worn ;
they are generally encircled with a broad hem,
through which is passed a pink or lilac ribbon ; the
same surrounds the double pelerine; a narrow roseate
of ribbon attaches the manchettes, which are com-
posed of three rows of rich lave.
Ball dresses are now being made of satin, blue,
white, and black ; also of taffetas d'ltalie, of tulle illu-
sion, &c. ; the upper skirts opening in the front, and
showing the jupe of satin of a soft shade ; the facings
of the dress plaited, or gathered at distances, and
caught with pretty trimmings in ribbon of the same
shade as the satin jupe.
Walking dresses are still worn, made in silks, satins,
&c. For instance, a dress of poult de soie, verdant
green shaded violet, trimmed en tablier in embroideries
of green gympe-work ; the corsage tight ;-the waist a
rounded point; close fitting sleeves; cardinal pelerine,
embroidered all round in a wreath, to match the
dress ; also a dress in gros de Naples of a beautiful
pearl grey, the jupe embroidered all round the bottom
with a double garland of laurel leaves; tight body;
rounded point ; and a facing of the same covering the
bust and forming a point in the centre; tight sleeves,
over which is worn a double short sleeve ; manchettes in
lace, falling over the hands. Lastly, a dress of satin
d'Afrique, green glace groseille, the skirt trimmed en
tablier with ribbon, placed in a festoon, each notch of
the festoons ornamented with a button-hole formed of
the ribbon, in the centre of which is placed a gold
button ; high and close fitting body, opening in a
point in the front; tight sleeves • a stomacher of lace
inlet is worn underneath the body, fastened by two
gold buttons. We may here remark, that the skirts
are still being made extremely long and ample, par-
ticularly when composed of rich materials, the most
favourite trimming being fancy shaded fringes and
open work gympe.
COLOURS.—The favourite colours of the present
season are those shaded blue and pink, pink and myr-
tle green, grey and mauve ; also that beautiful Iris
colour, being a blue shaded on pink and glace white,
or a marron shaded on green and glace white.

THE NIGHT TELEGRAPH IN FRANCE.---The Corn-
ralttee of Deputies on the bill for granting 30,000 francs for ex-
periments on a night telegraph, has declared that that invented
by Dr. Guyot, which is by means of moveable lanterns, is the
only cne worthy of being put to the proof, and recommends that
the trials be extended to a line of at least sixty leagues, and in
foggy or misty weather, as well as in the night.
A letter from Alexandria, 6th inst., states that M.
Blondel, the Belgian Consul-General, who was arrested on his
.cientific tour in Abyssinia, by the chief of an Arab tribe, has
been released, through the influence of the Governor of Kor-
dofan, who is entirely devoted to Mehemet Ali.
BRUSSELS, MAY 31.—The steeple of the church of
Veerle, in Belgium, was struck by lightning during the storm
of the 24th, and the tower totally destroyed, and doors and
wall much injured. The same storm ravaged 94 hectares sown
with wheat, rye, &c., in the communes of Eynthout and Vork;
the damage is above 40,000 francs.
