kossuth, who continues still 10 monopolize the
public attention, and the columns of the public
press.

publishing editorials prepared IN Austria and
opposed to Hungary, was left out, by request Of
the committee.

F. is an innocent and injured lady. She is going
upon the stage herself and is announced to an

We may as well mention that the Public
School, where the late accident occurred, aud
46 little nnocents so suddenly met their fate, is
now being completely altered so as to avoid the
possible repetition of such a catastrophe. The
