How the tempest of war has subdued in
Europe! The cloud of Revolution is rolled
back, and its roar is hushed There is only
heard now the roll of the tyrant's chariot
wheels, and the poeans of their sound-:those
are the greatly audible bass tones-then
chimes in the deeper, scarce audible bass, OF
moans of sorrowing millions mingled with the
iercer beating of still hopeful brave hearts,
and spirits which, whether they hope or fear,
live in the light of freedom which is dawn
ing for the whole world. But yesterday, vi
emma, and Buda, and Milan, and Venice, and
Rome were the conquest of "a moment-enfran-
chised people. To-day the oppressor glistens
his sword in all their streets and scourges the
people by their hearths and altars. But this
sad reversion cannot long be. The all con-
quering idea is born, to which the strongest
tyranny must yield. The revolution is sub
dued, but it lives, and living it must triumph.

A THUNDER CLAP-During the severe storm
of the night of the lst of March, the inhabit-
ants of the village of Poquonock, in Connect
cut were aroused by vivid flash of lightning,
accompanied by an explosion which is said to
have been ''louder than an hundred pieces of
the heaviest ordnance shaking every thing to
IFS foundation So vivid was the light, that
persons in sound sleep were awakened. The
Hartford Courant says:
"The next day it was ascertained that the
lightning, or, as some supposed, a meteor, had
fallen upon large oak tree which stood in an
open pasture, west of Phelps Hotel The tree
was about three feet in diameter, and without
limb to the height of thirty or forty feet,
when it branched out and formed heavy top.
The lightning first struck the tree at the forks,
dropping the branches, and scattering the
trunk in every direction. The trunk was shi-
vered into small pieces; no one of them is lar
ger than man can lift. Even the roots were
scattered about, and many pieces were scat
tered a distance of more than thirty rods.
Some portions of the tree were crushed as fine
as saw-dust The fragments cover an erea of
eight or ten acres"

HUNGARY.
DeSOIatiOn and Misery of the Country


The N. Y. Tribune translates the following
from the correspondence of the Kolnische Zeit-
ung dated, Pesth, Feb. 3, 1850:
Nearly 10000 Honveds have been enrolled
and their reception to the army is constantly
making progress. The country, desolated by
pestilence and war, is thereby still more strip
ped of its population. There are not hands
enough to SOW the fields; the burnt down vii
lagos cannot be rebuilt, the country is going
to destruction, spiritually and materially; for
even the higher classes are compelled to sup
ply their contingent to the Honveds, and ev-
cry one is put in uniform, without exception,
who is legally convicted of having served in the
revolutionary army. While Haynau and the
whole body of officers are proposing terms to
the inhabitants of the cities, while it fatters
our full-blooded Magyars to see Prince Lich-
tenstein attended the performances of the Ma
tional Theatre almost dvery day from begin
ming to end, it cannot be but surprising when
many of the tribunals designate the suitors
only as Hungarian dogs. A poor woman,
who was spoken to in this manner, complained
to me yesterday: How could she avoid hav-
ing been born in Hungary? In another re-
spect quite unusual severity is exercised
A man who reported that Benz had arrived al
Szohok with considerable number of troops
was punished with six months Imprisonment
in irons. Necessary as may be such severe
measures toward the promulgation of rumors
in threatening and dangerous times, we must
be surprised at such course in the present
state of things.
