1t should not, however, be forgotten that both
humanity and policy recommend moderation in
the midst of success. Wiser maxms than Of

the United States expedition against Japan will
prove the counterpart of our own late opera

his forces meet with the like success, and use it
to as good purpose.
KossUTH's REToRN TO ENGLAND--We men
toned, the other day, from private source of
information, that the friends of Kossuth have
taken house for him in Kensington, and that
he expected to take possession of it on the st
of May. 1t was his intention with about 40 of
his countrymen, to reside temporarily in Belgi-
um, and there quietly to watch the progress of
events in Europe. The sole reason why Kos
suth would have preferred Belgium to England
was the greater economy which was practicable
in the former country. The altered state of af.
fairs in France has, however, satisfied the illus
trious Hungarian that the Belgian government
would not sanction his residence in Belgium at
present; and, therefore, he has fixed on England
as the place OF his residence, for a season. His
course Of procedure, we learn from one of his
most intimate friends, vii! be to assume II pas

lief that events are rapidly hurryng EDWARDS to
u great crisis both in Germany and Italy. Then
will be the time for Hungarys redemption
towards which consummation he expects no in
considerable aid from the 10000 muskets which
the Americans have furnished him with But

there can te no mistake, that though the United
States have not formally promised to interfere

other despotic power come to the aid of Austria.

The ADMIRALTY lNQUIRY.-LIGHTING ALL
VESSELS AFLoAT.-We understand that the
committee have finally agreed upon their report
as'to the most efficient mode of carrying out an
uniform system of lighting all vessels ahoat
We stated, in the Shipping and Mercantile
Gazette OF the 18th inst, that the evidence did
not favor the fixity Of colored lights on board
small vessels, but that they should have them
in readiness to exhibit at any moment of emer.
gency. After full consideration of the whole
of the circumstances, we are informed that the
commission have agreed to recommend that
system of lighting and signalling, subject, how
ever, we suppose, to certain suggestions in per
feeling the details.
