HUNGARY.-Thc latest advices from
Hungary show that the spirit of resistance
to the tyrannical sway Of Austria, though
OF passive description, still exists among
the people. 1t is stated in late foreign
paper that a military man who recently
had occasion to travel from Grosswardein,
in Hungary, TO KIausenburg, in Transyl-
vania, Was surprised to find that the peas
ants had entirely given up smoking
When it is considered that tobacco has
hitherto been looked on by the Hungari-
ans as one Of the principal necessaries of
lifc, and that smoking is prohibited by the
national party in Italy, it becomes evident
that heavy blow is systematically aimed
at the finances, of which the tobacco mo-
nopoly is one of the main props. The All
thorltles do all in their power to check the
growing evil, and SO severe is the punish
ment inflicted upon the terroris.s by the
military courts in Lombardy, that stu
dent Of II, who forcibly attempted to pre-
vent mans smoking in the streets at
Milan, had been condemned to years
imprisonment in Chicago paper.
Mas. JUDsoS.-A correspondent of the
Baptist Recorder states that her friends in
Central New York have recently rooo;~ed
letters nom her which lead them to eX-
poet her arrival, with her three children,
very soon. Mrs. J. will be remembered
as the aniable Fanny Forester. 1t is an
fact that three children Of the
late DR.. Judson, by his second wife, have
been for a long time under the care of
sister of his first vie. Two other chill
dren of the second marriage are under the
care Of the present Mrs. Judson.
SCENE IN TIE TELEGRpH OrrIcE.-
present, operators and assistants. En-
tcrs man with private message for his
friend in town way west. Man eyes
with perfectly fearless glance the tixins
and successfully conceals meath bold ex-
terror his trembling nerves. Operator
advances to review the communication
and commences reading aloud the same
that the gentleman most deeply interested
may detect any mistake made in deciphcr
ing the hieroglyphies. But is Suddenly
interrupted by the gentleman, and told that
sit mattcred but little whether the writing
was legible or not, for his friends at the
west knew his handwriting so well they
would have no trouble in finding out the
meaning!" Operator appears much rcliev-
ell and load Of esponsibility rolls from his
shoulders, and he suffers the man to go
on his way rejoicing in the security Of his
secret. Exit gentleman, and operator
plies his key with a broad grin upon his
countenance.
II OF the twenty-four millions Of
acres in Cuba, only two millions of acres
are under cultivation, three millions I'M
der natural and half million under arti-
fetal pasturage. Fourteen millions of
acres are in woodlands, and four and a
half millions in barren lands. In the
Western Department, onc-fourth of the
land is barren, one-fourth is woodland,
and onc-half equally devoted to cul;iva-
ton and pasture. In the Central Depart
inent about one-third is barren, one thir-
ty-seventh in pasturc-the balance in
woodland. In the Eastern Department
about one-twelith is under cultivation,
one-iifth in pasture, two-thirds woodland,
and one-siyth barren. But notwithstand-
ing so much of Cuba remains unproduct-
i've, she paid last year a tax of more than
twenty-three, (nearly twenty-five) mill

enormous sum was expended in the pay
