On Saturday morning last the sun rose in q
segment Of clear sky, spanning. the horizon in

snow-clouds from north to son,h. passing ncur
By us on the west The falling snow presented
for some minutes, the appearance Of moving
columns, Of huge dimensions, reaching from

tuins and clouds in the southwest. They pre-
sented oil shades aud colors, from the I'urc

GREAT PROTESTANT DEMONSTRATION

"I have Just received news of the great Pro-
testuut meeting which WIS held the day before
yesterday at Debreczin, and rejoice to SOY thut
it is Of q satisfactory character. The meeting
has passed off without u conflict, and without
bloodshcd. As the protestants openly FRO
c1aimed that they intended to make the asscu,-
bly the most numerous and important yet held
in Hungary on the subject of the Imperial pa
tent, the Austrian Government, either from Sc
rious alarm, OF in the hope Of ovcrawing them,
hastily collected formidable body Of troops in
the imnediate vicinity of the town. Nor were
the friends Of the Hungarian cause without dis
quietude, OWING to the fact that Debreczip anj
its neighborhool are chiefly 'peop}ed by thor
ough Mngyars, whose haired to Austrian do
nination Is more bitter than that Of auy other
race, and whose hot tIood was very likely to boil
at the sight Of Austrian bayouets. But, as
have said, this crest meeting has passed of
quietly. The Austrian agents abstaiued from
exasperating the Magyars, and the Magyars on
their part, though NOT without difficulty, re-
Trained from falling foul Of the Austrians
"The meeting was held in the great Profess

GUS that not only was tic church crap,1ntd Ia

meeting was illegal, summoned the persons
present to dispersc. The Chairman arowed
that be and bis fellow Protestants had met to

draw up formal declaration that his sum-

that the chairman aud all who took Z lpadtng
