HUNGARY.-The Augsburg Gazette has the
following singular article the state of public
feeling of Austria in general, and of Hungary in
particular:
As the national feeling of the Hungarians is
becoming morbidly fanatical. it is natural that
people in the Danubian city (Viena) should think
of giving constitution to the other races of the
empire, in order that fraction of its population
should no: become preponderant.
five are we'll informed, there is at present in
Austria-as well among the Germans as among
the slaves-such very bad (pess'mast'Sche) teel-
ing, that people do not object to the encroach-
ments of the Magyars, they hope, through
them, to obtain reasonable concessions from the
State
Every patriot must hope that the Imperial gov
ernment will give "a constitutional reform to
the whole empire rather than an exceptional po-
sition to the Hungarians. Government must be
able to depend the support of the whole EN-,
pire, the patriotism of which can only be reused
by fitting representation, as powder and pan
are paliatives to which recourse cannot be had
except in extreme cases.

VICE AND LUXURY.-The following passage on
the relations of luxury and ostentation IN Rome,
and the vices of the empire, is taken from work
" on the strength of Nations by Andrew Bissit,
just published in London:
There seemed to be an association between GER
tain vices and profuse and ostei.tatious extrav-
agance in dress, both i'll men and women but par
tcularity in the latter. The Counties of Somer-
set, the murderess of Sir Thomas OVERLY, (and.
as we suspected, of Prince Henry.) wore on the
occasion of her marriage with the Earl of Somer
set, a coronet which valued at SlOO,O0O: and
the clothes Of the Earl of Somerset also, were
covered with precious stones. Agrlppina, the
wife of the Emperor CIaudus, who, like the Eng
lish Countess above mentioned, was an aduiter-
and murderess, appeared i'll pu bic, on one oc-
easion, in a magnificent robe, which, as some read
the passage was tissue of pure gold. without
any intermixture of other materials Cahgula
was costly and effemnate in dress to such degree
as to appear in shoes composed of pearls The et-
feet of this upon the dress of the Roman woman
at the time may be judged of by what appears at
the present day, when we see many women, with
out regard to the means of their fathers and hus
bands, striving to ape queens and empresses III
the extravigance and costliness of their dress
