DEATH OF HUNGARIAN Ex1LE.-The Augs-
burg All, semeine zeitung learns from Hull, Eng
land:
''Sever al days ago Hungarian exile died
here off tarvation. He tried to support himself
and family by teaching German, but did not
succeed, and gained oily three shillings during
the last few weeks of his existence. He did
not wish to beg, but the child had to be fed
The mo Their, therefore, starved herself, and the
father died from want of bread. He went I'M
der the, name OF DR. Reck, but was the son of
Count Werdinski, and had TO fly witt, many 9th
ers in ls49 from Hungary. 1t is said he re
ceived over two thousand pounds sterling from
home, which he lost in speculation in England.
He then went to Holland, but soon returned
to England, where he died as already stated
The most re markable fact is, that his neigh
DO RS had no idea of his poverty, because part
of his small earnings was spent in embarrassing
the outside walls of his residence, buying cur
tains, &c. The inhabitants of Hull have deter
mined to pres erve his widow and child from a
similar fate"
