OF New-Mexico, then 40 Government shall be or
gGnl1ed in Nelc-.1fericO TO haze jurisdiction on

SENT for cash In hand surrender her claim TO New

They wear the coarse uniform of private soldiers the
only difference between them and their present COM

TURKEY. The Hungarian refugees have been
removed from Shumla to kutahia. The persons in
cuded in the removal are said to be Kossuh and his
wife, Messrs Ihazy, BRO Wagner, Frater, Weigh,
Kosta, Szerenyni, Torok, Lazlo, Lorody, Kappner,
Acs; DR.. Spatzek; Interpreter Czech, with three
servants; Caslmlr Batthyany and his wife; Michail
OWES, three servants and three grooms; Messaros,
with his adutants, Katona and Spetz; Moritz Perc-
eel, with his secretary, Halass, and his adjutant,
Bercsliy; Nicolas Perczel, with servant; Asboth,
with two servants; Maczynski, Szepinski, Przyem-
ski, Wysozk, with his adutants, Lissakowski and
kossak; Chojezli and Briganti
Here is the Austrian account of the affair which
must be taken with allowance
"Achmet Efendi, who reached Shumla on the
9th of February, began to make preparations for the
departure of the fugitves, when kossuh declared to
him that he would rather shoot himself than consent
to be removed to Asia. To this the diplomatis,
with true Turkish phegmn, replied, that sit was
pity to anticipate that fate from which none
cape, but that man would often follow his nspra-
TONS" Kossuth subsequently addressed brilliant
speech to his followers in order to accompany him.
but with little success Casmir Batthyany intended
to have attempted to escape before Achme Efendi S
arrival, but the Turks, by sezing his horses, defeat
ed plans; he seemed much moved on hearing that
he must proceed with the others to Asia.
Dembinsky having pleaded illness, the Turkish
Commissioner hasdemanded further instructions from
Constantinope. Messaros and Stein (Felhad) were
much cast down. Maurice Perczel, on the contrary,
declared that he willingly went into exile, he
er would have returned to Hungary even if permis-
sion had been granted him so to do. A strange
scene took place between Ballogh and his son. The
former as renegade, was to be removed to Alleppo,
while his son, as Christian, was to proceed to Ku-
tahla. The idea of being separated from his son,
almost drove the old man mad He declared that he
had been vilely deceived by the Turkish Govern
ment, and throwing his ''fez' at the feet of Achmet
Efendi swore that he would rather die than remain
Mussulman.
AT o'clock, on the 18TH the mournful procession
started. Kossuth, who had previously committed
his last will to the hands of the Turkish Commission
er, sat buried in his cloak in corner of his carriage
his wife accompanied him. Batthyany, though the
expression of his countenace sad sat as proudly
as in his saddle. The countess was in close
carriage The others, to the amount of S. followed

the Connecticut Pennington Canal Rail Road 30 the
line of the Western Rail Road in this State The

places, respectively their friends wish it to terminate.
The committee reported against both, giving them
leave to withdraw. Motions to amend the report by
substituting bills for charters, made, and there
upon the discussion arose. The result is uncertain.
Another subject has elected considerable feeling 1t
was proposition to remove the terms of the Courts
now held at Concord to Lowell, Cambridge, and Gro
ton. The Court house at the latter place burnt
the last season. and the necessity of rebuilding it, if the
Courts are retained that place, led to bringing the
subject before the Legislature. The vote taker
