Several of the public journals have commented
upon the contrast presented within the last few
months between the course of Irish feow-citi-
and that of many citizens natives of other
tries in regard to questions connected with for
eign relations. The natives of Ireland have very
generally cheerfuly acquiesced in the settled policy
of the Government; and even in the case of the
proposed application for the release of their country
men who are State prisoners of England have ac-
knowledged the dignity and propriety Of the course
Of the President. They have not sought to throw
us into the midst of European quarrels and wars,
but prefer the peace, happiness, and prosperity of
their adopted land to every other consideration of
public nature The commentators bestowed, there
fore, upon their patriotism are not undeserved

Curious STATEMEST.-The Richmond Times publishes
the following note from correspondent at Buchanan,
Botetourt county, Virginia:
GA few days ago, whilst some men were engaged in
bnsng out limestone short distance below this place,
for the purpose of making lime kiln, they
what seemed to be a cave with entrance six or
eight in height and upwards Of hundred feet long
with two apartments. In the first they found
thenware and large stone cross the there
some carving but somuch deaced by the hand Of
time that IL scarcely dscernibe. After they
found these things they came TO Buchanan and made
known their discovery Some Of the citizens with lam
terms proceeded Immediately TO the to make further
search. They found nothing in the first room but what
have already mentioned; but, entering the second
apartment surprised to find skeleton seated ON
huge iron chest with its back resting against the wall
On opening this chest they found il to contain gold coin
perfectly smooth side and with some cha
racters the other. The gold n the chest by weight
is worth hundred and eighty-hree dollars. How
these things came in this cave We able to imagine
for the coin is which we have never seem.

HUNGARIAN PAPER MONEY.

A Cleveland paper of the 18th instant contains
an advertisement bearing the signature of Louis
Kossuth, Governor by G. Il. Henningsen, Secretary,
of the deposite of Hungarian Loan Certificates with
William Slade, jr., to be issued and countersigned
by him. Slade advertises the certificates, giving
notice that he is prepared to issue them in denomi
nations Of "fves and tens and that " twenty-fves
and ffties" viii be received in few days.
If these certificates are in the form which has
been heretofore announced, of promises of payment
in the name of the Hungarian nation, we entertain
no doubt that it is gross fraud to issue them as
securities for money, because they are not issued by
parties who have authority pledge the Hungarian
people for the payment 1t is well known that vast
amount Of paper money issued by the Hungarian Co.

tual authority, which supposes will ever be

existence, win be recognised and redeemed national

LIABILITY OF RAILROAD COMPANIES
Patrick Cass yesterday recovered a verdict Of
500 and costs against the N. York and New
Haven Railroad Company, being the value of
trunk and contents placed in possession of
the baggage-keeper, in June last, but not de-
liyered. The ticket, check received for h.
had been lost, and the agent refused to deliver
it when it was demanded, and it was subse-
quentiy lost. The Couri held that in common
law, the Railroad Company is liable for the
loss Of baggage entrusted to their care, and
the giving check TO passenger, designating
the number of the baggage, was intended to
furnish the passenger with additional security,
and the loss Of the check does not relieve the
Company from liability, unless some other
person presents the check, and in good faith
and without notice the baggage is delivered to
the party SO offering the check. Nothing OF
the kind was shown here, and the plaintiff AS
entitled to judgment-N. Y. Mirror.
