Letter from KOssuth.

kossuTH has written letter 10 the Lord Pro.
voss Of Glasgow .!upon the Eastern question, in
which he asserts that England is vitality inter.
essed in the issue of the present struggle be-
tween Turkey and Russia; and that her ex;s.
tence as power of the first rank would he
rendered Precarious by the success Of the
Gear.
The pretence of neutrality by Austria. he
says is all CANNON. She has concentrated a
force of ninety thousand men upon the serv,.
an frontier; the effect of which procedure is to
aid Russia, inasmuch as Turkey is obliged, in
view of the relations existing between Austria
and Russia, to maintain an army of fifty thou.
sand men in servia. for the purpose of watch.
ing the Austrian troops; which fftv thou
sand men would, under other circumstances
have been made available against the Russian
forces under GoRrscHAkorF.
In respect to Hungary, Kossuth makes the
following remarks:
" As to my nation. declare solemnly, tba,
should We be left forsaken and alone to fob,
once more the battle Of delverance for the
world, We shall rather choose to be Russ;a,s
than to remain subject 10 the House Of Austria
rather submit to the open, manly force of

ruled by his underling. The letters of force

RENTING MONEY By MAIL-An important
decision has recently been made by the U S
District Court, at Richmond Va.,-Chief Jus.
tice fancy presiding. In a case on trial be-
fore that court, the question arose, whether
money RENTED by mail from debtor to a
creditor, such money being lost before it
reached Its destination, was release of the
debtor from obligations Of the debt The Chief
Justice decided that the plaintiff having re.
quested his debtor to remit the money without
specifying or directing how it was to be sent,
and the defendant having complied with the
request by renting through the mail as was
the custom with others to do, the debtor
would not be Obliged to make good the loss
Tie decision Is in conflict with other cases in.
volving the same princrpe, the Chief Justice
holding that the former were not correct.
