the pulpit, and after taking his text and
"blazing away" until his lungs were
sore and his hearers all comfortably
doing and rodding approval to each
other, he suddenly drew it forth and
gave shriIi ,oot-a-ioot In an instant
the whole congregation Was awake and
upon their feet, staring at the minister,
at each other, and wondering what in

at that court, as bearer of overtures of
peace between the Roman Republic and
France. All hostilities had been for some
days suspended, and it was believed that
the news was substantially correct.
The surrender of Boulogne is contra
dicted, and it is now said that the city held
out and was bombarded almost to ashes,
and the loss of life was said to be frightful.
The ConstutioneHe Zeitao,g publishes
a proclamation from Rossuth, at Debre-
chin, in which he asserts that the Russians
had been defeated by Gen. Bem, and 5000
Russians asserted to have surrendered at
Kraiver, and about 10000 followed their
example at Arsa; their arms, cannon, and
horses fell into the hands of the Hunga-
rians.
A rumor was current at Ruab of the
Russians having entered Hungary near
Dula, and of their having suffered defeat
from Demlrisky.
The news of the defeat of the Russians
by BEN is confirmed, though we still want
authentic details Of that important action.
HUNGARY.
The London Times confirms the victo-
ry gained by the Hungarians over the
Russians at Presborg.
Positive news was received of the sur
render of Ossen at discretion. The booty
to Hungarians embraced military chests
of 1000 muskets, 10 batteries and commu-
nications: $4,000 Hungarians were killed
during the assault.
Georgey addressed the COMMANDMENTS
chief of Austria, calling on him to treat the
prisoners with humanity.

The Hungarians are brave, generous,
proud, and quite as intelligent as the Aus
trians. They have noble country, high
ly cultivated and well governed. They are
the finest soldiers in Europe. Kossuth,
who has been elected the first President of
Hungary. and who is the leader of her
armies, is one of the middle classes, and
the most eloquent man in the nation.
Georgy is little more than a Hungarian
boy in years, though old in genius and
valor. BEN and Dembinski are Poles,
the former noble, and one of the best
military leaders in the world Hungary
can bring into the field between 100000
and 100000 soldiers, of whom $4,000 are
mounted. Her chances of ultimate tri-
umph are greatly. Z. San.

Hungary,


hungary, at this moment, is attracting
the attention of the whole world. Her
success and the business of her cause, Sc
cure her universal sympalhy-She has
never been province of Austria, but al
ways an independent kingdom. Her re-
latlons to Austria began by an union of
their crowns through marriage. The
Emperor of Austria became, by virtue of
a Hungarian bride, King of Hungary
the same manner Austria allied herself to
Bohemia. But Hungary retained her Diet
her ministry, and her constitution invio-
late. She stands whole now, as she stood
500 years ago. The relative and ally of
Austria, she has proved her devotion to
the empire by boundless sacrifices. Still
she has resisted every attempt to destroy
her constitution, or TO merge her in the
empire. She would not be taxed or levied
upon for soldiers, without the consent of
her Diet, bod elective, and assembling
every three years. What is now called
her insurrection, is but struggle to retain
her constitution and nationality, which
Austria, sworn to protect, has sought to
destroy, that Hungary might be known
only as portion of Austria.
The population of Hungary is s,OOO,-
600, or one third of what has been called
the Austrian Empire. Croatia is properly
a province of Hungary, though the Croats
have been set upon the Hungarians by
Austria, and defeated as they deserved

BURIED FOR Two THOUSAND YEARS
Lord Lindsay, in his travels, writes that
while wandering amid the pyramids OF
Egypt, he stumbled on a mummy, proved
by its hieroglyphics to be at least, 1000
years of age. In examining the mummy
after it was unwrapped, he found IN one OF
its closed hands tuberous or dubious root
He was interested in the question how long
vegetable life could last, and he therefore
took that tuberous root from the mummy's
hand, planted it III sunny soil, allowed
the rains and dews of heaven to descend
upon it, and in the course of few weeks,
to his astonishment and joy, the root burst
forth and bloomed into a beautiful dahlia.

From the Spirit of the Times.
Distressing News From Ireland.

Misery and starvation appears to be the
fate OF that glorious country. If the peo-
pie do not all emigrate they must die of
either hunger or disease.-But emigration
is fast going on. In the House of Com
mons, Mr.. Monsell said that emigration
was going on-but the persons who were
emigrating were the employers of labor
they were farmers, with capital. The re-
turns from Kilkenna, Kanturk, Thurles,
Macroom, all testified to the emigration of
comfortable farmers from all parts of Ire
land. He had at least 20 returns to the
same effect.
The Westport district, in the county of
Mayo, is In an awful position. A petition
TO the House of Commons states this dis
trict is reduced to utter destituson-the
great bulk of the people starving, while
the lands from which they have b61 ban

Another account says, 1.-The peonsac0

Deaths numerous, but coffins few, byef1ed
without cofiins in dykes and ditches, and
many-many dsfgured by rats. In one
mountainous parish, upwards of nineteen
hundred of Gods people fell victims to
this devourIng famine-more than seven
hundred families are wandering without q
house to put their heads into"
In the country OF Westmeath upwards
of six thousand acres of rich grazing lands
are to be let, the owners being unable to
stock them with cattle. In Meath and
other counties of Leinster, many grazing
farms are untenanted, the former occupiers
having sold off or emigrated.

the police establishment is immense en-
bracing in it the greatest variety OF depart
