mr. to- or their Racehsky march. 1t
ssuth. y one or both being played. But
arch Ilschgratz, to restore quiet, has been
lnga alged to forbid both one and the other.
cav e learn that not one of the magnates
who support the insurgent cause has made
vnis submission, whilst several who had re-
manned quiet till now have been so dis
gusted with the project of Capitalization
and destroying the rights of Hungary,
that they have openly declared their de-
termination to resist it. Amongst those
who have made this declaration is Count
Esterhazy, of Dotis, wealthy magnate,
who seldom meddled with politics, but
whose influence in several eoDtttats, even
of the west, is enormous. In conse-
quence of the Count Esterhazy,s discon-
tent, the cOnait0t of Gras has re-risen III
4 kind of insurrection.
The Hungarian Lutherans are, to a
man, for the insurrection. Count Charles
Zay and Baron John Zeszenak, the super
intendants or chiefs of the Luthern church
(the office is always held by laymen.) are
in Kossuth's camp. And indeed, the seat
of the Diet i'll DebreckZin, the chief city
of the Calvinist Maygars, shows that all
the Hungarians OF the reformed religion
look to the prevalence of Austria to be a
religious, as well as a political subJuga-
tiOn.
1t must not, however, be supposed from
this that the Catholic Maygars have any
sympathies for Austria. The crown OF
st. Stephen, placed by kossuth i'll one OF
the churches of Debreckzin, and almost
adOred by them, Is symbol enough that
they are determined to defend Hungarian
independence. The Maygars are, indeed,
all as one man, and no defeat in the field,
however overwhelming, would quench
their dogged discomfort and indomltable
nationality.
Since the above occurrences, the Aus
trians ana iIungarians nave had several
more skirmishes, III which the Hungari-
ans reaped as many advantages as the
| Austrians.-ED. HERALD.

of it:

In our own and several of the adioin

Besides the thousands going to Califpr-

mons who will 90 out this spring TO the
City of the Salt Lake. A considerable
portion of those now located on the Mis-
souri,, above and about Council Bluff will
move early in the spring. In this city
there are many-perhaps one or two thou
sands-who viii move as fast as their
means and the duration of the season will
permit. Added to these, there are hun
dreds arriving every week, having the same
ultimate destination in view. We are in
formed that within u few weeks past, up
wards of three hundred (many of them
from England) have arrived in this city,
en- route to the valley of Salt Lake.

SUR FoR BREACH OF PROMISE. At Liv-
erpool remarkable case OF breach Of promise of
marriage has lately been tried. The plaintiff is
verging upon 10 years, and the defendant, a
widow, is about so. The court room was filled
with spectators, among whom were several la
dies The evidence introduced kept the audi
ence convulsed with laughter during the entire
trial. The Judge, in summing up, said that it
was no doubt case of breach OF promise, but
doubted whether there had been great injury to
affections in the matter. The jury gave the
plaintiff one farthiag damages, and the court ad-
judged that he should pay his own costs.
