Lord Lyndhurst on the Refugees.

Inc 1OlOWlng lS n more EXTENDED report Oi
the significant speech of Lord LYSDHURsT, in
the British House of Lords on the 9th ultmo,
to which we alluded two or three days ago. His
Lordship seems to think, and with some reason,
that the desperadocs Of Europe-the class of
men who hold Law and order, Government and
Religion, in equal contempt, attempt
to make themselves numerically respectable at
the approaching Worlds Fair in London. 1t
certainly cannot be denied that anarchcal and
infdel conduct and opinions are exceedingly
rife in the Old World, and Lord LYNDHUR ST is
probably justified, by his knowledge of passing
events, in raising the alarm. The otf-scourngs
Of the Revolutionary Conlinent-aefeated So
cialists, quasi democrats, Red Republicans n
and modern "philanthropis,s" generally, migf,
certainly, get together in imposing numbers Oh
such an occasion as the approaching Worlds
Fair, and experience proves that they never get
together for good.
We find the following report Of Lord LYND-
HUEsT's Speech, in the n Y. Ercning POST
After referring to the Italian Committee, his
Lordship eays:-
"There is in this city another society which
styles itself the Central Democratic European
Committee. Now this committee or associa-
ton has been formed for the avowed purpose
not directly against one or two states-but for
the avowed purpose of encouraging insurrec
tonarv projects in every part of Europe. They
declare it to be their object to keep this spirit
and temper alive until they have the opportuni-
ty, by simultaneous movement, of carrying
their ultimate projects into effect. My lords,
this society has lately issued proclamation
addressed to their parliZans throughout Europe,
with the view of carrying into effect the object
to which have referred. 1t is to accomplish,
if possible, a simultaneous insurrection in every
part of Europe. In this proc lamation they
praise in the highest degree the energy and the
zeal of the insurgents of Vienna and Milan,
upon whom they call to hold themselves in
readiness for another rising OF similar des-
crlption assuring them that by cooperation and
Simultaneous efforts of all the democratic party
in Europe, their objects must ultimately be
carried into effect.
"Now, who are the parties to this proclama-
ton ? They are, as they call themselves, rep
resentatives of tferent European states. One
is MazAini, who represents Italy; another per-
son, whese name do not al this moment call TO
mind, but who styles himself a late member OF
the Constituent Assemb at Frankfort, repre-
sents Germany a well known Pole represents

of the hungarian war. 1t is well known that

IInngarians in language Of the most inaamna-

them to desert from their ranks, and pointing
out how this might be effected in a manner the
most effectively destructive of Austria. They

breaking ont, what signals are to be made and
what corporations they will receive. This
