Saturday, Jci.T, 28. Housb Of Lords.—The...
SATURDAY , Jci . t , 28 . HOUSB OF LORDS . —Their lordships met at twelve o ' clock to forward bills . At two o ' clock the roval assent was given by commission to sixty-five public and private bills A conference was requested Try the Commons with reference to the amendments en the Irish Poor Relief Bill , which was granted . The amendments , as finally agreed to by the Commons , were received and ordered to ho considered on Monday , and the house then adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —This house met at two o ' clock ; a lengthened conversation took place re > specting the precipitate march of legislation during the last fCAV days . Mr . Rebsal , Chairman ofthe
Committee of Ways and Means , declared he was so over whelmed as to be incapable of testoAviug upon private bills the requisite degree of ifigilant attention ; Mr . Disraeli characterised the scenes Avhich had occurred through this haste as disgraceful ; Mr . Aglioxba * attributed the gush of bills at the end of the session to the obstruction created by '' too much talk" at the beginning ; and Lord J . Rcssem , delicately alluded to the same cause , and to the number of amendments on the motions for going into supply ; whilst Mr . Dishaeli , on the other hand , protesting against restriction of debate , threw tbe blame upon the government , whose measures were ill prepared .
Sir 3 . Ga _ n _» and _ Ir . Gueese mentioned a practical example of the evils attending hurried legislation . On that day clauses had been introduced by the other bouse into a railway bill which -were the same , miaatis mutandis , as the abandoned Battway Audit Bill , and the house was placed in the dilemma of being obliged to adopt the principle of that bill without discussion , or of rejecting the railway bill , to the grievous injury of the parties . Lord J . Russell , admitting the importance of this case , consented to advise the Crown to postpone the prorogation until Wednesday , in order that the subject might be discussed on Tuesday . Affairs of Cetion . —Mr . Baillie , chairman of the Select Committee on Ceylon , then moved an
address for a Royal commission to inquire on the spot into the means taken for the repression of the late insurrection in that colony . lie stated the grounds on which the committee had thought it their dutyto make this application—viz ., that neither the minutes ofthe proceedings of the Council of Ceylon nor those of the courts-martial had been forwarded ; and there were , moreover , grave charges against the Governor , which could not be inquired into without the presence of witnesses now in Ceylon . The committee , in these circumstances , the session being about to close , had instructed him to move for a commission to mquire on tbe spot . lord J . Russell said , if this commission was to Inquire into the conduct ofthe Governor of Ceylon , with reference to " the means taken for the repression of the late Insurrection , " it must tend to
weaken and impair the authority of the Governor , who could not carry on the affairs of the colony with a grand inquisitor upon the spot , taking down tho complaints of individuals against Ms conduct in an insurrection not put down without force and summary proceedings . "Very grave reasons could alone justify such a measure , and the governor should be first recalled , in order that he might be impeached and put upon his trial . The evidence taken by the Select Committee had not been reported ; the committee , therefore , asked the house to pursue this course blindly . A motion might be made nest session for a select committee ; or articles of impeachment might be preferred against Lord Torrington ; but the house should not adopt a course which would destroy the authority of the Governor , without knowing anything of the evidence upon which it was founded .
Mr . Hume said the reason why the evidence taken before the committee had not been produced was that the charges were so serious and the evidence was partial , minutes and other official documents from Ceylon having- been withheld . The Governor onght to be recalled and a commission Issued ; it behoved the house , after what had occurred , to prosecute the inquiry and obtain full information . Mr . Hawes , Mr . Y Smith , Mr . Disraeli , Sir J . Tv " . Hogg , Lord Hotuam , Sir J . Graham , Mr . Law , 31 r . Roebuck , Major Blackaii , and tbe Chancellor ofthe Exchequer tookpart in tbe subsequent
discussion ; and Lord John Russell having intimated iu the course of the debate that if Mr . Hume would come forward next session , and move for a select committee , in order to lay on the table ofthe house articles of impeachment against Lord Torrington , he { Lord John Russell ) would be prepared to meet the hon . member , but that he must decline assenting to the appointment of a commission which would have the effect of destroying the authority of ihe governor ofthe colony , without being attended with any particular or useful result ; the house divided , when the motion was negatived by a majority of 57 , the numbers 33 to 90 .
Lord J . Btjsseix then agreed , that if tbe committee should re-assemble this day , and by a majority point out by name such witnesses as they desired to examine , steps should be taken to secure their attendance next session , when the committee should be re-appointed . A motion of Mr . Hume , that the evidence taken before the select committee be laid before the house , was postponed . The house adjourned at half-past sis o ' clock until Tuesday .
MONDAY , JcltSO . ROUSE OF LORDS . —West Lvdia Colonies . — _ ar _ of HiiinoivBr , on presenting a petition from the Standing Committee of the West India Merchants and l'lanter-S , entered intoalengtbencd statement as to the distress prevailing in tne West India colonies . The petitioners urged upon the house the necessity of taking steps for the promotion of an increased immigration of natives of Afijea , into these colonies , and suggested the propriety of extending the period of contracts for labour . Thev also
prayed that the terms of the loans of last year to these colonies might be modified , and further assistance advanced to them on the credit of the mother country . Earl Grey stated that he could not hold out any encouragement to the hope that tho conditions for the advance of money under the loan of last year would be modified , lie was also satisfied that the extension of xhc period of contracts for labour would ultimatel y prove injurious to the West Indian colonics .
BniBEnr at Electiox Bill . —Lord Milfobd moved the second reading ofthe Bribery at Elections Bill . Lord Staxlev opposed tbe motion on tb © ground that the measure was most objeciionable , both in principle and detail . It inllictcd the most severe penalties npon a poor voter who mi ght take a -trifling bribe , while the wholesale corrupter almost entirely escaped , lie moved , as an amendment , that the bill be read a third time this day three months . Earl Great did not agree in ihe view taken of the "bill by Lord Stanley , but he thought it ought not to be pressed during the present session ; he therefore trusted it would be Avithdrawn . After some observations from Lord Brougham , the amendment was adopted .
iA-viGATHKf Liws . —Xord "WnAnxcLiFFE asked whether there would be any objection to place on the table copies of any communications which may have passed between her Majesty ' s government and the governments of foreign powers in consequence of the passing of the bilTfor the Repeal of the Navigation Laws . He conceived it to be the bounden duty of the government of this country , before it carried into effect such large concessions as were made by that net , to take steps to secure something like correspondent advantages to this country . Perhaps . tliis . demand ousrht not to be made as a matter of : right , but he believed that much might be done by negotiations , and certainly the government should make every exertion to obtain this desirable
object . The Marquis of Laxsdowxe said that it was impossiblefor the government then to present any detailed information on the subject . The period which had elapsed since the passing of the bill had "been so short , that her Majesty ' s government had not been able to make any progress in negotiations withforeign powers with respect to reciprocity , or ratheran approachtorcciprocity . The government had not lost sight of the subject , and many communications had already passed with yarions parties previous to representations being made to foreien powers . ^ Lord Rroccham gave notice of his intention to lirinsr forward thisd-iv fimnfinnr » i ; m / . f ;„„ . i . „ „„„ — — — vujn ^ mc

Lord Moxxeagle felt it to be his duty to propose that feeir lordships do not agree with the Commons ' amendments in the IGth clause , bv which arrears of poor-rates might berecoveredin the superior courts , and if judgment was obtained the land upon which they were chargeable might be seized and sold without the previous permission of the Poor Law

The Marquis of Lassdowxe declined to pass any opinion on the statement of the noble Earl until the inquiry into the circumstances connected with the affrav bad terminated .
Some other business was also despatched , and their lordships adjourned till half-past two o ' clock on "Wednesday , HOUSE OF COMMONS . —In this House which met at twelve o ' clock , the discussion of the audit clauses inroduced by theHousc of Lords into the York , Newcastle , and Berwick Railway Amalgamation Bill was anticipated by a motion , founded upon the merits ofthe bill , that the Lords' amendments be considered that day three months , which was carried , upon a division . The Lords' amendments upon various public bills were considered and agreed to . Mr . Hume then brought forward again the much agitated question of the claims of the Rajah ofSattara , which gave rise to discussion , and ended in nothing , the house being counted out shortly after four o ' clock .
WEDNESDAY , August 1 . HOUSE OF LOKDS .-Thcir lordships met at half-past two ; o ' cloek ,. and after disposing of some preliminary business : and giving the Royal assent to a large number of bills : by commission , The Marquis of Lansdowne then read the following-speech : — My Lokds and Gestlesien , "We have it in command from her Majesty to inform you , that the state of public business enables her to dispense ivith . your attendance in Parliament , and to close the present session .
Her Majesty has directed ns to express her satisfaction with the zeal 'and assiduity ivith which you have discharged the laborious ; and anxious duties in the performance of which , you have been occupied . Her Majesty has given'her assent to the important measure you have passed to amend the Navigation Laivs , in full confidence that the enterprise , still , and hardihood of her people will assure to them a full share of the commerce of the world , and maintain upon the seas the ancient renown of this nation . Her Majesty has commanded us to acquaint you , that the friendly character of * her relations with , forei g n Powers affords her a just confidence in the continuance of peace .
The preliminaries of peace between Prussia and Denmark have been signed , nnder the mediation of her Majesty , and her Majesty trusts that this convention may prove the forerunner of a definitive and permanent treaty . Her Majesty's efforts will continue to be directed to promote the restoration of peace in those parts of Europe in Avhich it has been interrupted . Gentlemen of the House op Commons , " \ v * e are commanded by her Majesty to return you her thanks for the provision which you have made for the public service .
The public expenditure has undergone considerable reductions Avithin the present year , and hcr . Majesty ivill . continue to apply a -watchful economy in every branch of the public service . My Lords and Gentlemen , We are commanded by her Majesty to congratulate you on the happy termination of the war in the Punjaub . The exertions made by the Ajoveinment of __(_ . _ , and the \ alo _ r displayed by the army in the field , demand her Majesty ' s Avarmest acknowledgments . Her Majesty has observed with gratification the spirit of obedience to the lairs Avhich has been manifested b y her subjects , during the period which has elapsed since her Majesty last addressed her Parliament .
It is the characteristic of our Constitution that it renders the maintenance of order compatible with the fullest enjoyment of political and civil liberty . The satisfaction irithwhich her Majesty has viewed the peaceful progress of her people in arts and industry has been greatly alloyed by tbe continuance of severe distress in one part ofthe United Kingdom . Her Majesty has observed with pleasure yonr liberal exertions to mitigate tho pressure
of this calamity , and her Majesty commands ns to thank you for your unremitting attention to measures calculated to improve the general condition of Ireland . It is her Majesty's fervent hope that it may please the Almighty Disposer of Events to favour the operation of those laivs Avhich have been sanctioned by Parliament , and to grant to her Irish people , as ihe reward of that patience and resignation Avith which they haA e borne their protracted sufferings , the blessings of an abundant hari'est and of internal peace .

Hume , stated , with respect to granting a responsible government to the Cape of Good Hope , that the subject was under consideration Avith a view to carry out that object . The hon . member also , at the instance of Mr . M . Milnes and Mr . Hume , stated the circumstances
under Avhich the GoA'ernor of Malta had felt himself compelled to limit the number of refugees from Sicily and Italy landing in that island . Lord Palmerston replied to Lord Nugent on the subject of General Haynau ' s proclamation that it was unnecessary for him to say her Majesty ' s government :, in common with everybod y else , had read that proclamation , as it appeared in the newspapers , with the deepest pain . But , as the government were not in possession of any information on the subject , it . was impossible for . him to say whether it were genuine or not .
Lord Xuoext desired further to know whether , if the proclamation should turn out to be genuine , the government Avould interpose its good offices , or its authority , if necessary , to stay the perpetration of such horrrors . Lord PAUiERSTOJf answered that the government must reserve to themselves a legitimate discretion to act as they might think fit under the circumstances , when they came officially before them . The order ofthe day for resuming the adjourned debate on the Sunday Trading Bill having been discharged , Sir Augustus Clifford , the Gentleman Usher of
the Black Rod , appeared at the table , and desired the attendance of the honourable Members in the House of Lords to hear two several royal commissions read ; one for giving the royal assent to certain bills , and the other for the prorogation of the present Parliament .

Lord J Russell , after taking the opinion of the Chan * whether any of these amendments affected the privilces of the Commons , and learning that the omission of the first two clauses , prescribing a maximum amount of rate , did strictly speaking , infrin ge upon the privileges of the House , proceeded tosay ° th . it , as these privileges had upon former occasions been waived , lie did not think that the House was bound to insist upon them on this occasion the subject being one concerning which both Houses of parliament should be entitled to give an
oninion . ,, ' Sir Jvwes Graham , upon the constitutional question involving the privileges of the House , differed from Lord John Russell , and contended that the interference of the Lords in this instance had gone far beyond any precedent , and that if this "interference were allowed , it would be better and more consistent to abandon their privileges at once . This verv question , as to the extent to which this House should waive its privileges in matters of local taxation , had been referred last session to a Select Committee , which came to an unanimous opinion that any relaxation beyond a very limited one would be dangerous . ... , A long discussion then ensued and Sir D .
, Xorbets moved that the amendments be considered that day three months . On a division the motion for agreeing to the Lords' amendments , omitting these clauses was affirmed by a majority of 49 , the numbers 111 to 62 , and the House temporarily adjourned . ' On its resuming , the House proceeded with the amendments of a less important character , some of ivhich were agreed to and others rejected , four divisions taking place on the amendments enumerated in the report . The various other bills on the table having been proceeded ivith without discussion , the House adjourned until Saturday .

Shrewsbury, July 27. The Alleged Matrici...
SHREWSBURY , July 27 . The Alleged Matricidv . at Bridgnorth . — Mercy Catherine Newton was indicted for the wilful murder of her mother , Ann Newton , at Bridgnorth , on the 5 th of December last . Our readers will remember that at the last Spring Assizes for Shropshire this case was tried at great length , arid the jury , after being locked up for nearly twenty houvsi were discharged without agreeing to a verdict . The prisoner was now put upon her trial again , and the court was crowded . ! Mr . Whitmore and Mr .. Pbil-Hmorewere counsel for the prosecution , and . Mr . Huddlestone « nd Mr . Rupert Kettle for the
prisoner . At the commencement of tho proceedings Mr . Huddlestone ' took an objection to the record , on the ground that the prisoner having been once tried , the jury had been discharged without coming to a decision . —After hearing Mr . . Whitmore on this point , Mr . Baron Rolfe sent for Mr . was , Justice Erie , to consult him , and the result that the record , with some slight amendment , was sufficient , and the trial shonld proceed . The indictment was then read . It contained ten counts , varying the charge as to the modes in which death was alleged to have been inflicted , namely ,- by suffocation , strangulation , burning , pressing , & e . Tbe prisoner pleaded " Not Guilty . "—Mr . Whitmore
then proceeded to state the case for the prosecution , after which he called—Mary Corfield , who stated that she lived in the service of Mr . Dyer , of Bridgnorth , in whose service the prisoner also lived ; witness slept in Mr . Dyer ' s bed-room , on a sofa , as he was not able to . attend to himself ; the prisoner usually slept in the next room ; her mother was inthe habit of coming to Mr . Dyer ' s house . On the night stated the witness said she left the prisoner and her mother in the kitchen , after they had partaken of bread and cheese and ale for supper , and a little rum and water after . Witness had fetched a quart of rum during tlie . day . About two o ' clock- in the night she was awoke by Mr . Dyer , and found the room full of smoke . She rushed down stairs and went out at the
kitchen door to Mr . Doughty s , whom she- alarmed . Mr . Doughty came , witness coming soon after , all the time no * seeing the prisoner or her mother . Some time after that she found the body of deceased on the brewhouse step , " a charred mass . " A surgeon was sent for , and Mr . Colley attended . The prisoner was wet and singed . The sofa and chair cover were burnt ; four pairs of sheets wore also burnt ; a quantity of dripping and grease , which had been in a butter boat and bottle were also consumed ; the kitchen door and passage were covered with water ; the prisoner appeared to care little about what had happened . After the prisoner was taken into custody , witness found a carving knife under the cushion of the chair in the kitchen , and a shawl wrapped up iu it . On tbe Sunday following Mrs . Doughty pointed
out some footmarks in- oil upon the kitchen floor . The witness here detailed various expressions made use of by the prisoner towards her mother , of a most shocking and unnatural kind , expressive of a wish for her speedy death . —The witness underwent a long and s . avchin ^ cross-examination by Mr . Iluddleston , in the course of which she said she was not a married woman , but had had one child . She denied having used any expressions of ill-feelings towards the prhoner . She admitted she had had money from the Messrs . Doughty , and added that she hid been unable to obtain service in consequence of the excitement arising at Bridgnorth out of this case . The examination of this witness , together with the legal arguments as to the former trial , occupied the court till a quarter past six o ' clock , at which time the proceedings were
adjourned-July 28
This morning a number of witnesses were examined , tlie principal portion of whom were medical men , who differed considerably as to whether the deceased was really dead before her body was burnt , or whether her death ensued from burning and suffocation combined . —After au ingenious speech from Mr . Huddlestone on behalf or the prisoner , Mr . Baron Rolfe summed up , and the jury were eventually locked up , Mr . Baron Rolfe remaining in court till nine o ' clock at night to receive their verdict , at which hour he received an intimation from them that there was no likelihood of their agreeing that night . They were accordingly locked up .
July 29 . DISCHARGE OF THE JURY WITHOUT A VERDICT . At nine o'clock Mr . Baron Rolfe attended in the Crown Court , in consequence of a note received by him from the jury , requesting to know whether the evidence against Mercy Catherine Newton was sufficient to show that her mother died from suffocation . His lordship told th < ni that was entirely for them to say—that was , in fact , the very question they had to decide . If they were not satisfied of that , it would be their duty to return a verdict of not guilty , but if they considered that there was no other reasonable solution of the cause of death , and the evidence showed no one else but tlie prisoner was present , then it was for them to say whether she did
it . —Mr . Huddlestone called his lordship ' s attention to the fact , as proved in evidence , that the deceased was a " chilly woman ; " that she had thrown pieces of candle into the fire to make it blaze ; and that on one occasion her clothes caught fire from her sitting in too close a proximity to the fire grate . —The Judge referred to that part of the evidence , and also to the opinions as to the burning being after , and not anterior to , the _ death . He then went through the counts of tbe indictment , and on reaching the ninth , which charged the cause of death to have been by "tying a handkerchief round the neck of the said Ann Newton , and then and there causing strangulation , by me * nsof which the said Ann Newton did then and there die , & o . " The prisoner , who had been
muttering for some minutes , said , " That I never did , my lord ; 1 never touched ber that night . Oh , gentlemen , genthnien , gentlemen , " The jury , having asked some further questions of his lordship , intimated that they were not likely to agree , and again retired in the custody of the sheriff . Both Judges then attended divine service . at , 'St ; . Chad ' s , and shortly before one the court was . once more opened , andin a few minutes crammed , in " every , part by the anxious multitude , who surrounded the . Court-house from an e * rly hour in the morning . At one o ' clock Baron Rolfe and Justice Erie entered' the court in their robes . The prisoner was again placed at the bar , and the jury sent for . They entered the box bearing evident traces of exhaustion in their countenances , and having answered to their names , intimated they had not agreed to their verdict . —Mr . Clement , surgeon , was ihen sworn , and in reply to Baron Rolfe ' s questions , deposed : " I have attended
Mr . Massey , oneof the jurors , and given him medicine , hut I am of opinion that the time has arrived when his confinement longer would be dangerous to & , ' M - " r 5 Fon' R ,, lfe : Gen tteraen , is there any likelihood of your , agreeing ?—Foreman : No , ray lord . —Baron Rolfe : That is , there is no reasonable probability of your agreeing on your virdict ?—Foreman : Not the shadow , my lord . —The Baron : Then , gentlemen , you are discharged . Goaler , let the prisoner remain in custody . —The court then adjourned , and thus a second time terminated the trial of this most unprecedented case , in which a coroner ' s jury were discharged without a verdict , and two assize juries also , after confinements of twenty and seventeen hours' duration , the conclusion of which witnessed the novel scene of a court of justice sitting on a Sunday , and both judges in the commission proceeding from the altar to the bench to discharge a jury .
July 30 . ' . -.- , ' At the opening of the court this morning Mr . Phillimore , on the part ofthe crown , ; having declared his intention to put the prisoner on her trial a third time , Mr . Huddlestone put in an affidavit and made an application for a postponement of . the trial until the next assizes , to ivhich his lordship assented . It having been rumoured that Mr . Justice Erie would try her this morning , the court Avas much crowded Alleged Murder . —Charles Collev , a labourer aged 10 , was indicted for the wilful murder of John Micklewnght , a police officer , in the execution of his duty , on ihe ^ nd of Janu ary , afe 4 Cton Burncll ,

To The Chartists Of Great Britain. Broth...
TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Brother Democrats , — We are compelled to again appeal to you in behalf of the wife and family of . Dr . M'Douall , who has for the last eleven years devoted his time and money to the advocacy ofthe people ' s rights , and is now suffering imprisonment in a felon ' s cell for his devotion to the sacred cause of liberty . Surely , it is the duty of those for whom he has . struggled to alleviate his sufferings as far as in their power lies . The Doctor says ; " For himself he cares not , were his family only provided for ; " which , ' we are sorry to say , they are not , for they are often destitute of the common nenfissarifis of life—a fact Avhich renders the
Doctor ' s imprisonment doubly severe . The Committee in Liverpool for managing Mrs .. M'DoualPs affairs , started her in business in March last , hoping that what she received from the country , together ivith the profits arising from the shop , ivould enable her to support herself and children . Unfortunately , the remittances from the country are " like angels ' visits , feAvandfarbetAveen ; " and . Ave are sorry to add that , in the way of business , the support has not been equal to the unavoidable outlay . Difficulties , consequently , press upon the Doctor ' s family , and their circumstances urgently demand immediate assistance .
Hoping Dr . M'Douau ' s friends will make an effort in behalf of his wife and children , ive are , your faithful brother democrats , The Committee , Daniel Cameron , Sec . 45 , Portland-street , Liverpool . Money orders to be made payable to the Treasurer , Andrew M'Fee , No . 6 , Augustinestreet , Martin-street , Liverpool . We add to the above appeal the following letter from Dr , M'Douall , received by a friend in Liverpool ;—
Deak Sir , —It Avould be a very weak acknowledgement of the services you and the memhers of the committee have renaered my family , to offer you a string of idle compliments and empty thanks . I shall always estimate such kindness and attention more than I shall express the natural feeling in language . I regret that such a duty should have fallen upon the few , because it clearly belongs to the many . I have claims upon the Chartist body , and upon the working men , of more than a common character . I did hot hesitate to expose tho horrors of the factory system , and the poor law ; nor did I for a moment estimate tho cost of becoming the people ' s advocate , when . the great remedy of all remedies—the Charter—was first agitated . I have
evidence , by accounts , drafts , bills of sale , and bankbooks , to prove an expenditure of upwards of £ 1 , 000 . in hard cash , during the years 1838-39-4 . 0 . I have suffered imprisonment twice—exile once—and endured the privations of a wandering , houseless lecturer , during a period often years . I have sacrificed time that might have been more profitably employedhealth , that ought to have reaped a better rewardand talent , that might have secured a far higher and more lasting remuneration . Ihave spared neither property , person , nor family . I have been unjust to myself , negligent to my children , and iorgetful of private duties , that I might concentrate all upon the people . What is my reward ? I have been betrayed by my own party—sacrificed bv pretended
friends—peraecutcd by malevolent manufacturers —and deserted by the ivholc people , always excepting from them the principled few—the just and generous minority . What had I to expect ? I think the very least the people ought to have done to my family , and to those of all political prisoners , should have been to afford them half the income they Avould receive , or might receive , if all were , at' liberty . In justice , every family should be maintained in full income , just as if the chief breadwinner ivas at home . But that would defeat the intentions of the persecutors , whom many of the Chartists— or so-called Chartists — have basely served , and noiv as basely assist in punishing the families of the
prisoners . If tho Chartist body are so sparing of their purse , why should not all of us be tho same ? If they are so careful of their personal liberty , why should not avo entertain tho same feeling ? If they will do nothing , dare nothing , pay nothing for liberty , why should avo make any sacrifice , suffer any inconvenience , risk any loss ? If they respect their families , love their children , prefer their quiet homes , why should not ayo do the same ? Are we not all men ? Have we nob all like feelings ? In short , if selfishness is to be the rule amongst the Chartists , and niggardly aid the law , why should not ive be equally selfish and fully as chary as they ? I have never made a parade of sacrifices , or a loud outcry about punishment ; but I can form an opinion as well as any man , and make a resolution hotter
than most men . tp tF -IP w ¦ ' There needs but a will—a tax on each localityand an equal share of necessary duties , or privations , to' effect what is absolutely required to be barely merciful to the sufferers . I hope you ivill make this determination public as soon as possible , so that the Chartist body may come up to the test of honesty . Let them be consistent . Yours , very truly , Kirkdale , July 25 th , 1819 . P . M . M'Douam ..

Hungary. « The Hungarian Nation Counts O...
HUNGARY . « The Hungarian nation counts on the SE ^ ffiMg nation whicli loves right and liberty responding to tins cry . "— Coust Teleki ' s Protest .
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERS STAB . ^ SiRr-Few nations have ever presented such a sublime spectacle to the wandering eyes of mankind , as modern Hungary , Liberty , after having been remorsely driven from tbe civilised states of France and Italy , has taken refuge amongst the hunters of Transylvania-a people who , on account Of their isolated position , have been considered little better than a cypher in the map of Europe , but now , bursting like a ivtreai from their ptimeMal forests , not only threaten to free their own country , but bid fair to liberate Poland and Germany from the thrall ot their ungenerous oppressors . The Hungarians have at all times been distinguished for their indomitable love of freedom . For ages the tardy people stood the
as the bulwark of European Christianity , against avaricious encroachments of the Turks , and although their efforts were often ineffectual against the overwhelming hordes of the Sultans , they have again taken the field against a more sanguinary enemy , and are now pouring out their blood like water , and perishing on the battle field by thousands , for the love of that freedom they so much admire , but the blessings of which they have seldom tasted . It is salutary to think that the energies and aspirations of tbe Hungarians are now directed by a mastermind to a visible and attainable object . A warlike people called to the remembrance of their ancient glory , and the unparalleled power of their ancestors , can no longer be the dupes of foreign dominion ; the lovely and immortal principles of liberty are unfolded to the understanding of the Magyars , it has
penetrated their inmost souls , and its intrinsic beauty has elevated their minds to such a pitch of solemn grandeur , that all the power of Russian barbarity will be unable to conquer . The profligate press of this country , in attempting to palliate the atrocities committed by the my randoms of the Austrian Kaiser , tries to deceive the public , by asserting that tbe Hungarians are a peoole among whom the refinements of civilised life have made little or no progress . No doubt the Hungarians are far from being a polished people ; but if they have not made such rapid strides in the art of dancing as some of their more scientific neighbours , they have preserved a gem which others have cauae to regret the loss of—namely , a primitive love of freedom . The more civilisation ( in the ordinary sense of the Avordlis introduced , the more debased
becomes the population ; ihe more a people are accustomed to the inventions , arts , and luxuries of a higher state of society , unless their minds are imbued with a deeper sense of moral responsibility , they have more reason to curse tbe g ift . At all times a brutal soldiery are the worst of civilisers . Few persons view the question of Hungarian independence or slavery in its proper lig ht . It should be remembered that a battle lost in Hungary is a battle lost in Britain ; that should the Hungarians fail in their glorious attempt to resuscitate their country , they not only forge chains for themselves but rivet
firmer the fetters of every nation in Europe . All honour , then , to the brave people who , alone and unassisted , have bid defiance to the tyrants of the world I The gigantic power of Russia has encircled their country with Tartar and Cossack lances , brought from the frozen regions of the north ; but the Magyars , true to their principles , are exhibiting tbe might that ' slumbers in a peasant ' s arm '—exemplifying to the world that a noble resistance may exist amongst a people destitute of everything but native intrepidity , and cheering mankind with the evidence that the ieeMest who are determined to
fight for their freedom , may contend against a power the most colossal with distinguished honour , per . haps with final victory . The details of the Hungarian war which have reached this country , give sufficient evidence of the brutal policy pursued by kings . Think of a people totally unoffending , punished with all the horrors of military violence . A people , because they possessed the courage to assert their freedom , must be hunted , famished , and torn by cannon , and trampled by cavalry ; the fields which the labour of their hands have cultivated and fertalised to be givea to the stranger ,, and their free hearts and free limbs sunk into tbe degrading servitude of a Russian
slave . Sacred justice ! is this system of things to continue ? Ave the wolves and jackals of society , who prey on the liberties of mankind , to be permitted to repose in security and peace , while the patriot contending for freedom is to have nowhere to lay his head ? Englishmen , it is you , and jou alone , who have tbe power , if you chose to manifest the will , to establish a new order of things ; unenfranchised as you are , you could compel the Ministry to recognise the Hungarian Republic iu a much shorter time than most people are willing to admit . Rely on yourselves , look no longer to France , her present conduct is a satire on Republicanism ; Prussia is a military despotism in the pay of Russia , while the
Republic of Rome and the Rhine provinces are again writhing under the withering influences of feudal barbarity . I implore you , then , to east off this shameful apathy and indifference . Remember courage , fortitude , and perseverance are the true elements of moral greatness , the indispensable requisites for forming a powerful opposition to tyranny ; and only by a steady application of such , can you ever hope to bring into operation your own mode of acting and thinking . Your enemies perceive this ; tbey are united and powerful , and you disunited and powerless . Come on , then , be men ; above all , be
consistent ; exercise the keenest perception in matters relating to yourselves , and be not driven off your course by sophistry , nor allow your faculties to be deadened by indolence . If you require a stimulus ti exertion , think of the Magyars , who are covering the plains of Hungary with their " 3 ead bodies , fighting your battles and dying in your cause . Surely this is sufficient to whet your appetites for the arrival of the glorious time , when the crimson flag shall float triumphant from the dark waves of the Danube to the sunny shores of the Mediteranean . Barrhead , July 23 , 1849 . Robert Vingate .

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS . MORE GLORIOUS VICTORIES OF THE HUNGARIANS . VIENNA , July 2 S . — After giving Paskiewich the slip on the night of the 16 th , Georgey marched , by the Neograd-road , northivards- of the Tatra mountains . Reaching at Balassa Gyarmath the valley ofthe Ipoly , he continued his march by the broad easy road which runs along tills river to Losoncz , and from thence gained Rima Szombath . Georgey , having baffled Rudiger ' s pursuit , proceeded from Rima Szombath to Rosenau . He first met the Russian outpost of the north at Jaszo , and in this neighbourhood he gained a complete- victory over a strong corps . The Russian garrison at Kaschau was struck with
consternation at the sudden appearance of an Hungarian army . The new burgomaster and the war committee there established fled to St . Miskolcz . The garrison dropped all thoughts of defence , and the Magyars entered without opposition , Kaschau , in a strategic point of view , is a highly important place . On this account it was fortified by Paskiewich , and made the head depot of the commissariat . supplies from Poland and' Gallicia . From Kaschau Georgey marched toivards the Theiss , which ho Avas to cross at Tokay and Tarzall . The Russian detachments left on the other bank are irretrievably lost . Tbe Theiss is , as in the past winter , the lino of operations . The road to Gallicia lies open' on one side , and . communications are established on the other side with Dembinski . ^ Tcmeswar is reported to have surrendered to tho Magyars .
