the Governor Of Hungary. This was not all
The two victorious Emperors forgot what was due
to the Sovereign of another country, who, during
the struggle against the wishes of his own people,
had remained wholly neutral, and though they did
not invade his territory, sent each demand for the
delivery of the unfortunate fugves to their vctori
GUS Generals. Had this demand been acqui-
esced in, the consequence cannot for moment be
doubted. A most noble patriot, the noble.mind-
ed KossUTH, and all the chiefs Of his Government,
would have shared the fate of the unfortunate BA-
TIFFANY, who, to free himself from the disgrace of
the gallows, cut his throat in prison. This, how
ever, was Intellectual, and the bloodthrsty Haynau
ended the days Of the patriot by hanging.
The determination of the young Sultan to with
stand this demand was entirely his own. There
were members Of his Ministry who were inclined
to accede to the demand of the powerful Emperors;
but the Sultan exhibited the same frmness which
rendered his father so remarkable, and risked his
throne in support Of the rights Of hospitality.
Whilst the odious Haynau is being ill-treated by
an English mob, in the streets of London, this
same noble young Sultan sends representative to
learn for him the resources, the Improvements, and
the arts and sciences of the New World. The
sympathy Of the American people called for all his
goodwill and respect, and he thus shows the est-
nation in which he holds the support of the people
Of the United States. This gentleman has arrived
in Washington; he came to our shores in Gov
eminent vessel as our guest; the hospitabe people
of New York made him the guest of their city
and, whilst our own Government does not interfere
in the politics Of Europe, it thus shows the est.
mate which it places upon such conduct as that Of
his Sovereign; and the voice Of great and free
people will not be UNDECIDED in the Old World.

We take the following interesting remarks in
relation to the Coffee trade from the Circular Of
Messrs. Trueman g. Rouse, London. 1t bears
date December |, 1S49:
The last mail from Brazil most fully confirms the previous
estimated deficiency the production of that most important
source Of supply, and be safely assumed that the
total yield viii not exceed 10 600 bags, against I640 900
and @ in ls4s and lS47 In another place will be found
liable exhibiting view the estimated supply for 1856
and the estimated consumption Of 89the latter founded on
me latest official documents published and the former on the
production OF recent years. coupled with the ascertaned pro.
gresson decline of cultivation in the various places OF
srowth The deficiency the production as compared with
the consumption appears be less than 1850 tons
1o2 600 }. which has TO be made up out of the exist
ing stocks on hand In the principal European ERtrep6ts
including Great Britain, there were on the 3s October
81 tons against 81 $50 the period in l6s and these
anal stocks will be further diminished by the end of the
year, the supply in the hands of dealers in the interior Of
Germany, etc., is generally light whilst in America the
stock 80 much reduced that purchases for shipment have
recently been made both this country and in Holland
now therefore evident that in consequence of past yea Of
depression, production has fallen greatly below consumption
and that prices rise until the equilibrium restored
First BIZ the dimnnton of consumption but ultimately by
Increased production As the latter cannot however, from
the nature of Coffee cultivation be brought about imme.
diatey, may look for the maintenance of higher
range Of prices for SOME time than has been expert
enced for several wears -

RoBBERIEs AT WAsHINToN CITY.-In addition
to the numerous gentenen who were robbed at the
Presidents Levee, the Ist inst, it appears that
number of ladies had their gold watches stolen
from their belts. The police have strong suspicious
that the thieves were elegantly attired females.
The Washington correspondent of the Charleston
News remarks; "The employment of the fair sex
in such doings is no new thing. In the time of
George Ill, of England, there is an account of
celebrated female thief named Henrietta Stone,
who visited the theatres for years, in this business,
without exciting suspicion. Her plan was a curl.
Gus one Her real arms were concealed beneath
full dress, while pair Of false ones were placed
across her lap. Thus she was enabled to pilfer
from the ladies' near her without the slightest sus-
picion, the sufferers never once suspecting the
trick - .
