18th ult., announces that the question of
the Hungarian refugees at Kutayeh has
been definitely arranged. The Emperor
of Austria has granted full and entire
amnesty to those refugees, on condition
that they shall declare that they will not
make any attempt to re-enter Hungary.
Eight of them, however, are excepted from
this amnesty, and are 10 remain at kutay-

excepted are Kossuth and Count Bathy-

shows that when those men left ShamIa
they did so with the intention of going to
America. In this letter Kossuth express
es wish that Mr.. Pulasky may exert
himself with view of those people being
sent TO America, and 10 prevent them living
on aims, which would be degrading 10
themselves and TO the cause in which they
had been engaged. He concludes by say

Major Wallmszky, the leader of the Poles
is also willing 10 go, but since their arri-
val his countrymen have 10 a great degree

days have been given the refugees for con-

Liverpool will not be responsible for their

seek subsistence elsewhere.

Warren Hastings and George Washington.

"Look here upon this picture, and on this,
The counterfeit presentment. of two broth ers. ~
Hamlet.
In glancing, the other day, over a short
biographical sketch of the Governor Gen
eral of India, | noticed that the year of his
birth was the same as that of WASHINGTON.
This simple coincidence struck me forci-
bly,, but when in continuation so MANY
accidental points of similarity in their
history. presented themselves, (now that
the attention was turned IN that direction, J
while tire contrast in every thing else was
SO startling and so strongly marked, my
mind was deeply impressed by these
strange coincidents and strange contrasts
Both, as was said, were born in the
same year. Both were lefreary orphans.
Both deprived of the. advantages of a
thorough education-for no college crown
ed either with its honors, ror academy
welcomed either TO its secluded bowers.
Yet both manifested early the lavish gifts
of nature, and the promptings of an hon
orable and self-relying ambition. The
same winter In which one was pene-
tratlng the unknown wilds of the Virginian
forest, commencing his career as a Sur
vevor; the other, too, yet but boy, in
quest Of fortune, left his native land, and
went forth to the Indies upon the slender
hopes and slender stipend of clerkship
Each advanced by the force of his own
energy and ability. Both. while yet in
the first flush of manhood, were turned
by public calamities from the walks of
private life into soldiers. While one was
retrieving the rashness of veteran Gene
raj, saving his country from the Indians of
the Western wilds, and vindicating British
honor on the field of defeat, at the very
same time the other, serving under the
same government, was rescuing the banner
of st. George from the grasp of Linaah
Howlah, and turning back the Indians of
the east upon the plains of Palassery and
by the banks of the Hoogley. Again both
returned to civil life. The one took his
seat in the Virginia House of Burgesses,
and the other in the board of the council
of Madras. The sphere of each was rap
IDLY enlarging. The eyes of the civilized
world were fixed upon the British colonies
IN America, and the British possessions in
india. On these grand theatres were enact
ing respectively the deep dramas of the
deep rise and downfall Of nations. Who

Three Distinguished Editors Dead.

Hon. ISAAC HILL, of New Hampshire,
died at Washington, on Saturday, NJ. NJ.
Moan, Esq, at New Y ork, on Saturday,
and john S. SKINNER, Esq, al Baltimore.
on Friday. Our readers have already
been informed of the sad accident that led
TO Mr.. SINNERS death. Mr.. Hill had
of stroke of palsy. Mr.. Skinner was
the edi tor of the Plough, Loom, and I'm
Uii, and has been connected with the press
for many years, having held several prom
lnent positions, among them Postmaster al
Bglumore, and Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral. Of Maj. Noah, the New York
Tribune, says:
Mordecia Manasseh Noah was born in
Philadelphia, on the 10Th of July, 1884,
and was consequently nearly sixty-seve
years old at the time of his death. He
was the son of Manual \ oah, who mar
ried Zipporah Phillips, of that city. At
the age of five years he was left 10 the
care of his maternal grandfather, Jonas
Phillips. But a few weeks since, we
heard him speak of walking the streets of
Philadelphia with this relative, who poin-
ted out 10 him DIR. Franklin and his wife
On another occasion, he visited the open
ing of Congress and beheld Washington,
distinct recollection of whose person he
always retained. He received partial
education in the old Philadelphia College,
and at an early age was apprenticed 10 a
carver and glider. Even as a boy, he
manifested decided literary talent. and
we have heard that his first effort was a
Fourth of July Grafton, delivered in his
thirteenth year. He soon gave up his
trade entirely and devoted himself 10 lit
erary and political pursuits.
A an editor, Maj. Noah was one of the
most brilliant, spirited and graceful para
graphists III the country. II always sus-
tanned the most cordial relations, not only
with his brethren of the press, but with
the public at large. Probably none of
our citizens, who have taken an active
part IN public bushes, ever enjoyed the
more general esteem and good will Of the
country.
OF Isaac Hill, the Herald says:
Mr.. Hill was about seventy years of
age, and was of quite feeble constitution,
becoming particularly debilitated during
the last fifteen years of his life, by an
asthmatic complaint, which at last carried
him to the grave. Still he pursued his
business TO the last, reviving astonishIngly
after severe attacks Of his disease, and
visiting this city and Washington gener-
ally as often as once a year. As we sta
ted in our first notice of his death, he
leaves a widow and three sons.
The political life of Mr.. Hill, if care
fully written, would be full of interest and
instruction. He was eminently a self
made man, rising from the humble walks
of life TO distinction, rank, and influence,
such as few men with the same means.
and under the same circumstances, have
reached in this country.

To ASCERTAIN A HORSES AGE.-Eyerv
horse has SIX teeth above and below; be-
fore three years old, he sheds his middle
teeth: at three he sheds one more on each
side Of the central teeth; at four, he sheds
the two corner and last of the fore-tceih.
Between four and five, the horse cuts the
under tusks; at five, will cut his upper
tusks, at which time his mouth will be
complete. At six years, the grooves and
hollows begin TO fill up little; al seven,
the grooves will be well nigh filled up,
except the corner teeth, leaving little brown
spots where the dark brown hollows form
erly were. At eight, the whole of the
hOllows and grooves are filled up. At
nine, there is very often seen a small bill
10 the outside corner teeth; the point Of
the tusk is worn off, and the part that was
concave begins TO fill up and become
rounding; the squares of the central teeth
begin to disappear, and the gums leave
them small and narrow al top.
