The Wrongs Of Hungary. The Following Doc...
THE WRONGS OF HUNGARY . The following document has been issued by the London Hungarian Committee : — m # 1 . —Hunvary is an ancient cnstitntaanal monarchy , which used to elect its kings . Every new king was solemnly crowned » ith the crown of St . Stephen , after taking the coronation oath on Hungarian soil , ia which hs swore to uphold the constitution . In the year 1687 the royalty was made here ditary in tbe family ofHapsburg ; but , so far was Hungary from becoming a province of Austria , to this year not a single Austrian has been allowed to bold office in tbe Hungarian kingdom . An Austrian is a foreigner in Hungarian law and practice 2 . —The kings of the house of Hapsburg , have notwithstanding , made various attempts to over-THE WRONGS OF HUNGARY .
throw the liberties of Hungary . After repeated attempts to fuse Hungary into Austria and repeated insurrections , a long struggle begun by Leopold I was en ^ ed in 17 1 by Joseph I ., who was constrained to confirm the old constitution A < r 3 in | . y the efforts of Joseph H . to enC £ < ££ * language and suppress the municipalities , a revob was kmdled , which his successor Leopold II . finally pacified ( in 1790 ) only by withdrawing all his brother s innovations , and by making a peculiarly d . stmctavowal , that ( Art . 10 ) "Hun g ary ^ withber appanages is a free kingdom , and in regard toh-r whoWleialform of government ( including ali fhP
™ ' independent ; that is , entangled with no other kingdom or people ; but havirg her own pccnluvr consistence and . constitution , accordingly to be governed by her legitimately crowned king after her pecuhar laws and customs . " Nevertheless Francis I . dared to vmlate his coronation oath by not assembling the Diet from 1811 to 1825 . At last he was compelled to give way by the . passive resistnlce to all government . From that year onward the Hungarians have struggled successfully for internal reforms by constiiutional methods , though perpetually thwarted by the bigotry , ignorance , and perverse ambition of the Austrian cabinet or
e-own . 3 . ^ -The internal reforms which they desired were chiefly the ' Allowing : —Te remove or lessen tbe distinctions between the privileged and unprivileged classes ; and improve the principles of taxation and of the tenure of land . —Next , to extend perfect toleration of religious creed to all . The high Magyar nobility -. vre generally Roman Catholics ; yet they have been as wilting to cot cede toleration as thlower nobility end middle classes , who are general y
Protestants . —Thirdly , to establish « rce trade with all nations . For the Austrian Cabinet choose to confine this great country t « Austria for its market , white treating Hungarian produce as foreign . — Fourthly , to maintain a free press , and the right ( specially of publishing the debates and proceedings of the Diet—Fifthly , in general to develope the y reat resources or Hungary by all sorts of materia improvement in agriculture , in roads , in bridges . To this of late has been added a struggle for general education .
4 . —Onemodeof resistance applied by Austra , was to extinguish parliamentary bi Is by tbe veto of tbe crown ; the fear of which paralysed the upper house , —a body always naturally- disposed to lean to Austria . Against ttrU the Hungarians bad no adequate constitutional weapons to use , since the Austrian cabinet was not responsible to the Hungarian Diet . Tbe often repeaud l-. gal declaration of their independence , and in particular the distinct compact of Leopold II . in 1790-91 , justified them in desiring by peaceful and constitutional means to attain an independent ministry directly responsible to their own parliament .
5 . —Such a ministry had been talked of and claimed in the Diet . In fact the conservative party and the opposition had differed little as to the objects at which ihcy aimed , but chierlyas to tbe vehemence with whichthey should press them ; the conservatives pleading to " give time" to the Austrian cabinet . But in March , 1848 , tbe conservatives , a < a separate party , vanished , by tbe great mass of them acceding to the opposition . Kossuth carried a unanimous vote , that the constitution of Hungary could never be free from the eternal machinations of the Austrian cabinet , until constitutional government was established in the foreign possessions of the crown , so as to restore the legal status of the period at which the Diet freely conferred the ro . i ally on the house at Hamburg , this vote paralysed the Austrian authorities Vienna rose against Metternich , and a revolution took place there . A constitution
and a National Guard wereenncttd . The Hungarian Diet immediately claimed for itself also a i espmsible ministry . This was granted , without delay , and Count Louis Batthyany was made premier . But on tie verysame day , March 15 th , Jellachicb was appointed Ban of Crotia . In a letter to Vienna , dated . March 24 tb , 1848 , the Archduke Stephen , viceroy oi Hungary , is fi-und to have suggested ihree modes of destroying the Hnn . aiian Constitution ; either to excite the peasants against the nobles , as in Gallicia , aad stand by while the parties slaughter each o her ; ' or , to tamper / with Batthyany's honesty : or , to invade and overpower Hungary by military force . A transcript of this letter in the archduke ' s handwriting was afterwards found among his papers when be fled from Pesth , and was officially published with all the necessary verifications . The Austrians have not dared to disown it .
Before March en . led , a deputation of all ihe leading members of both houses from Hungary appeared in Vienna , carrying tbe King their unanimous claim that he would consent to various bills . In these , tbe greatest constitutional change was the restoration of the old union between the Diets of Hungary and of Transylvania . But socially the roost important laws were the cquali-ing of all classes and creeds , and the noble enactment which converted the peasant into freeholders of the soil , quit of all the old feudal burdens . This bi ! I bad parsed both the houses by February 4 th , 1848 . before the French revolution bad broken out ; so little had that great event to do with the reforming efforts of the Hungarians . Ihe Austrian c ^ biuet , sseing their overwhelming unanimity , felt that resistance was
impos lble . ,- Accordingly Ferdinand proceeded witb the court to Presburg , and ratified the laws by oath . This is the reform of April 11 , 1848 , which all patriotic Hungarians fondly looked upon as their charter of constitutional rights , opened to them the promise of a career in which they shoud emulate Great Britain , as a pattern of a united , legal , tolerant , free , and loyal country . 6 . Croatia is a provine-s of the Hungarian crown ; and there Jellachicb , as governor , openly organised revolt against Hunsary , by military terrorism , and by promising Slavonic supremacy . On Battbyai . y ' s urgency , King Ferdinand declared Jellachicha rebel , and exhorttd the Diet to raise an army against him ; but always avoided finally to sanction their bills . Meanwhile Radetski defeated Charles Alb rt .
Jell-chic ^ dropped the mask Croatianism , and announced to Batthyany that there should be no peace , until a ministry at Vienna ruled over Hnngary . In September , as the king would neither all-. w troops to be raised in Hungary , nor Ihe Hungarian regiments to be recalled from Italy for home defence , a Hungarian deputation was sent to the Austti' n Diet ; but it was denied admittance by a * 'd of the Slavonic party , 'ib catch stray votes ( it seems ) . Latour , the Austrian Minister at war . in the Diet , September 2 , solemnly disavowed any connexion with Jelluchich's movement : yet on September 4 , a royal ordinance ( officially published in Croatia only ) re nstated Jellachicb in all his dignities ; whi soon after cros ed the Drave to invade Hungaiy with a well-appointed
army 65 , 000 strong . As Le openly showed th-j king ' s commission . Batthyany resigned , September 9 , since he did not kno * how to act by the king ' s command again t the king ' s command . * No successor was sippointed ; and tbe Hungarian Diet bad no choice tut to form a committee of safety . To embarrass them in ibis , tbe king re-opened negotiation with Batthyany , September 14 , hut still eluded any practical result by refusing to put down JtllacbicU . Meanwhile , September 16 , despatches were intercepted , in which Jellachicb thanked Latour for supplies of money and material of war . The Hungarian Di-. t published them officially , and distributed them by thousands . But Hungary was still unarmed , and Jellachicb was burning , plundering , slaughtering .
September 25 , Lamberg was sent to Pesth . in the illegal character of Imperial Commissary of Hungary , but was immediately murdered by the wge of the populace . Masses of volunteers were assembled by the eloquence of Kossuth , which , with the aid of only 3 . 000 regular troops , met and repulsed JellichicbatSnkoro , September 29 , afid chased him out of their country . ButLat < ur was far too deep in guilt to recede . A royal rescript of October 3 , dissolved tbe Hungarian Diet , forbade all municipal action , sn ; erseded the judicial tribunals , declared Hungary under marlialhw , and appointed Jellachicb civil and military governor of tbat coi-ntry , with
discretionary power of life and death , and an expressly unlimited despotism . It likewise distinctly announced the determination of the crown to incorporate Hungary into Anstria . Troops from Vienna were publicly ordered by Lafour ( October 6 , ) to march against the Hungarians . This order , coupled with alarm , in-pired by the app oath of Jellachicb ( whose defeat was kept secret ) , led to the emeute in Vienna , iu which Latour was murdered , a murder which was made a pretext for bombarding Vienna , and destroying the newly sanctioned constitution . WindSsihgm . z . the sigei . tm this work , joined Lis . forces to these ot Auersperg , who meanwhile h d sh ltered Jeliachich .
At all this the Hungarians were so infuriated that , after deposing the generals ( who were believed traitorously to have allowed Jellach ' ch to escape ) , with inferior artillery , and with tVrces not half of the Austrians , who were 75 , 000 strong , besides their reserve , they fought and lost the battle of Schwechat , October SO . 'ibis was the first aid last battle fou"ht by the Hungarians on Austrian soil , fought onyagainst those who were protecting a ruthless enemy , who had desolated Hungary by countless outrages : jet tbisis trumpeted by tbe Austrians as Hungarian aggression- —Jeliachich ( Nov . 2 , ) entered Vienna in triumph , and was entrusted with a great anuria fie course of the whole war that followed .

. By intrigue of some sort they induced the halfwitted emperor to sign the act forhisown abdication , and at once seated Francis Joseph in his place , who , not having taken the coronation oath , might be assured by his directors that he committed no wrong m invading the laws and constitution of Hungary . ' An Austrian army marched into the country , and " in the course of January and February overran and occupied it as far as the Theiss eastward , aud as high as tbe Maroscii northward : the Russians meanwhile penetrated into Transylvania . The usurpation of the archduchess and cabinet seemed to have triumphed .
8 . On March 4 th , 1849 , Count Stadion published his new constitution for fusing down Hun « ary iuto a part of the Austrian empire . If previously Hungary bad been under Russian despotism , this constitution would have seemed highlv liberal ; and from an Austrian point of view , such as it was : but to the Hungarians it was intolerable slavery . First , it virtually annmhilated their municipalities , and subjected their police to Vienna . Next it would have enabled the Austrian cabinet to put in Austrian civil andmiiitary officers everywhere in Hungary an innnvatio'i as odious to the Hungarians , as would French police magistrates excisemen , overseers , colonels , fm - , Iord ; 1 , eutenai > ts , be to the English nation . Thirdly , it swamped their parliament amomr a host of
foreigners , ignorant of Hungary and its wants , and incapable of legislating well for it . Fourthly , it was enacted without the pretence of law , by the mere stroke of Count Stadion ' s pen . If the Hungarian constitution—fourteen times solemnly sworn to by the kings of the house of Hapsburgh - was to be thus violated , what possible security could the nation have for tbe new-fangled constitution of Stadion , if it were ever so good in itself ? If tbey admi'ted such a right in the Austrian crown , in six months a new ordinance might reduce them under a pure despotism . In the face of wrong so intense , it is not worth while to name secondary grievances ; but it was most bitterly felt that such was the reward of tbe constant loyalty of Hungary to the house of
Hapsburg , and such the sequel of that solemn act bv which Ferdinand had so happily ratified their recent glorious reforms ! On reviewing the constitutional question , it was clear to tbe Hungsrians that Ferdinand had no legal power to abdicate without leave of the Diet , which leave it was impossible to grant , since , in thecotiree of nature , Ferdinand might yet have direct hei » s ; secondly that if he became incapacitated , it was the right of the diet to appoint a regent ; thirdly , that if Ferdinand had died , Francis Joseph was not the heir to the Hungarian crown , but his father , Ferdinand ' s brother ; fourthly , that allegiance is not fully due to the true heir until he has been crowned * , fifthly , that if Francis Joseph had been ever so much the true heir , and hid been ever so lawfully crowned
, the ordinances would be a breach of his oath , essentially null and void , and equivalent to a renunciation of his compact with tbe people 5 sixthly , thateven to Austria the ministry of Stadion—orj rather , the Archduchess—was no better than aknot of intriguers , which had pressed on the clouded intellect of the sovereign to grasp a despotism for itself j while over Hungary it had no more ostensible right than hnd that of Prussia or France . AU Hungary , therefore , rose to resist , Slovacks and Magjars , Germans and Wallacbs , Catholics and Protestants , Greeks and Jews , nobles , traders , and peasants , rich and poor , progressionists and conservatives Ferdinand was still regarded as their legitimate , but unlawfully deposed King . 9 . Between the Thesis and Marosch , Kossuth had organised tbe means of fabricating arms and
money ; and in the course of March and April a series of tremendous battles took place , in which the Austrians were some fifteen times defeated , and without a single change of fortune their armies , 130 , 000 strong , were swept out of Hungary with immense slaughter . Only certain fortresses remained in their power , and those were sure to fall by a mere lapse of time . The Austrian cabinet was desperate at losing a game in which it had risked so much . Its more scrupulous members had retired , including Stadion himself . Bloodier generals were brou ght forward , and the intervention of Russia ( loug promised , and granted as early as February in Transylvania ) , was publicly avowed . This act finally alienated from Austria every patriotic Hungarian .
10 . Upon the entrance of the Russians with the consent of Francis Joseph , tbe Hungarian parliament , on tbe 14 th of April , after reciting the acts of perfidy and atrocity by which the house of Hapsburg had destroyed its compacts with the nation , solemnly pronounced that house to have for ever forfeited tlte crown . During the existing crisis , Kossuth , according to constitutional precedent , was made governor of the country . 11 . Wc all know Hungary—deprived of her ports , taken by surprise , isolated , arid abandoned --bas been overwhelmed by the combined hosts of her unscrupulous foes . But has England nothing to say to this ?
For three centuries at least Hungary has been a prominent member of the European family of nations . Her constitutional union to the house of Hapsburg has been a notorious public fact ; and in the Emperor of Austria , as King of Hungary , Europe has long seen a powerful barrier against Russian encroachment . That Hungary is not Austria—that the Emperor of Austria has no right in Hungary except as its constitutional king—is as public a fact in Europe as that Hanover was never part of England . When Hungary proclaimed to us that the Emperor of Austria was no longer her kingthat she bad found the house of Hapsburg traitorous , and had legally deposed it ; and when the Hungarian nation had by a unanimous effort actually
expelled her invaders—there was the very same reason for our acknowledging the independence of Hungary , as we ever had for recognising the Emperor of Austria as King of Hungary at all . We hare grievously neglected our duty by supiiicncss ; but the Emperor of Russia had perpetrated a breach of international law , most cruel and dreadful ; only less wicked than the outrage of Austria , because it was not also treacherous and ungrateful . Indignation and pity for the Hungarians is for the moment swallowed up by admiration , when we contrast their humane generosity towards prisoners of war with the ferocious cruelty of the Austrians towards the armed and unarmed of both sexes . 12 . The English crown is peculiarly affected by
these events ; because they destroy the confidence of nations in the oath of princes ; especially considering tbat Hungary was the only great community on the continent whose ancient liberties had not been violently and treacherously annihilated by its king . Xo guarantees of right any longer exist , except those which have been wrested out by popular violence , and established on some doctvainaive basis . The aristocracy of England are deeply concerned , when thc only remaining continental aristocracy possessed of constitutional rights , and taking the lead ofa willing nation , is remorselessly trampled underfoot . Our commonalty is concerned , when deprived of commercial intercourse with fourteen millions of agriculturists . Our religious
feelings are shocked , when Hungarian zeal for universal toleration is overridden by the Romanist bigotry of Austria . Our liberties are endangered by the spectacle of two sovereigns tearing in pieces a noble nation from pure hatred of its constitutionalism , which nine centuries have not made sacred in their eyes . The security of all Europe is endangered by the virtual vassalage of Austria to Russia , which this calamitous outrage bas entailed ; for Austria is now so abhorred in Hungary that she cannot keep her conquest except by Russian aid . Every one foresaw this fvom the beginning : the government of Vienna knew it , as well as that of St . Petersburg . Such are the results of thc conspiracy of an Austrian cabinet against their Emperor , against his kingdom of Uungarv , against the newborn
liberties of Vienna , and against the balance of power in Europe . 13 . What remains for England to do , but firmly to declare to Austria : — " Until we see the constitution as it was before October , 1848 , re-established in Hungary , wc do not acknowledge your position in Lombavdy ; for Hungary had a far better right to her national existence and independence , than you to your empire over the foreign Lombards . " A military tyrant may at any moment commit an act of rapine with summary speed ; sage and modern bystanders weed tin .-e to learn and judge of the case . If wc extend the doctrine of fails ' accom 2 > lis to the high-banded crime under which Hungary still lies bleeding , we proclaim impunity and recognition to every unprincipled marauder .

On the rising of the curtain , the calm and beautiful sea at the mouth of the Tagus is discovered-a broad and blue expanse , clothed m hazy exhalation ; graduall y the veil of mist is dispelled , and the sun in all its gorgeous splendour rushes upon the dazzled sieht . throwing
its golden reflection over the wide and still waters The motion of the orient beams of the new-risen sun , m their lambent play o ' er the sleeping waves , is a perfect "effect , " and incalculabl y enhances the illusion . The scene is then varied ; the gallant merchantman and light xebec lie becalmed and quiet on the bosom of the Tagus ; on the left the Irish nunnery is passed , throwing its dark shadows on the placid element , and next a fort with the Conde de Lorenzos house behind it ; while the Convent of St . Jerome , a prominent and beautiful feature , extends its immense proportions over more than one-half of this part of the picture . Still ovoccedmg up the river , numerous interesting objects arrest the gaze of the spectator ¦ and at length the city of Lisbon , situated , like Rome , unon" seven
hills , in all its majesty and grandeur , is at once brought be / ore the sight with its churches , convents , castles , public buildings , mansions of the proud grandees , and dwellings 0 f the humblest citizens , all mingled as m one vast amphitheatre . The banks of the river , with their numerous quays , warehouses for merchandise , ship-building yards , docks , & c . - , the noble church of St . Paul occupying a prominent place in the centre , and the Princess ' s Palace , and the numerous massy buildings in the foreground , with their busy scones , all contribute to give a charming reality not often attained in pictorial representation . Next the Grand Square of Lisbon is introduced , with its gorgeous palaces , magnificent ranges of streets , massive arches , noble
nights of steps , vases , and colossal decorations ; also tbe beautiful statue and fountain of Apollo , the regal and other palaces , all of which were afterwards wholly or partially destroyed . Again the scene changes , and the tremendous effect of the devastating earthquake is shown upon the agitated waters . The sky is obscured , and that sea which was before seen in placid serenity is now driven with fearful rapidity from its' course , not rolling with majestic grandeur , but hurled bodily , as it were , in all directions , carrying with ifc certain destruction to the numerous shipping opposed to its influence Wrecks float and toss about in all directions ; boats are seen with their crews despairing of escape from the dreadful gulf before them : and all seems , one mighty and awful chaos of waters , from which there
is no retreating . The effects of this dire calamity on the devoted city are next exhibited . That which was just before seen in all its proud and towering beauty , now breaks upon the startled sight of the spectator a terrific mass of ruins—palaces , public buildings , convents , churches , and all the monuments and grand array of human pride are hurled into one common wreck , and the horrors of a vast conflagration add their devastating influence to complete the terrible work of havoc , throwing a pall of dark clouds over the ruined city , as if in mourning for its helpless fall ; The various scenes of the Cyclorama aro illustrated by appropriate music , performed upon a splendid apollonicon . Paris by moonlight , the classic ruins , caverns , Swiss cottage , & c ., still continues to attract thousands of admiring visitors .
ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE . The Prophet ( Scribes opera , which has been so successfully performed during the summer at Covent Garden ) , has been turned into a magnificent equestrian spectacle , by Fitzball , and was produced on Monday night by Mr . Batty , in a style which has eclipsed all his farmer efforts . It is magnificent in scenery , dresses , and appointments ; and when we consider tho immense number of auxiliaries employed , the mechanical scenery , and the huge jd » tform , & c , used in this piice , ire can but wonder at the precision and apparent case with wliich the resources of this mauniiouth establishment arc brought into operation . The first act opens with a beautiful scene representing a village near the
castle , and terminates in the storming of the Count ' s stronghold . The different events supposed to occur during this time are most effectively represented . In tbe second act , the most striking scene was the triumphal entry of the Prophet into the city of Munster . This was exceedingly well arranged , and formed a capital tableau . . The third and last act , however , excelled the other two for variety and gorgeousnoss , particularly the final destruction of the palace , which is effected by the springing of a mine , and presents a scene . altogether surpassing description . When the curtain fell , the audience gave a general burst of applause . Thc piece was most successful , and promises to have a run equal induration to any spectacle . brought out here of late years . This is only what Mr . Batty merits for his spirit in being tho first to adapt to an equestrian performance the main features ofa piece of so
much dramatic celebrity . The principal characters were performed by Mr . W . West , Miss Loveday , and Mrs . Morcton Brooks , ali of whom were called before the curtain at the close . " Scenes in the Circle" form a constant portion of the amusements at Astley ' s . Not the least remarkable of them are the performances of M . Rochezand his son , who twist themselves into such a variety of shapes and figures , that unless their deeds are actually seen , tbey would appear from description to be ' impossible . M . Klare's mastery " . le Globe Itoulant" is very extraordinary , as also is tbe daring horsemanship of Mr . G . Cooke , and Madlle . Louise Tournaire . The laughable farce of Cherry Bounce closed a long and most a diversified series of entertainments — entertainments that throughout elicited the hearty applause of a crowded auditory .
STANDARD THEATRE . This elegant establishment , under the able management ot Mr . John Douglass , re-opened for the winter season on Monday evening . . During the recess the theatre has boon re-decorated , and presents a fresh and comfortable appearance . Mr . Douglass , much to his credit , has taken every precaution to secure order , and has engaged a very powerful company , including many of thc old favourites , and he bids fair to realise his promise of having " The best conducted house , with the best company in London . " Amongst the old favourites engaged will be found Mr . and Mrs . R . Honnor , Mr . John Douglass , Mr . Denvill , Mr . John Gates , Mr . H . Lewis , Mr . G Herbert , Miss Eliza Terry ,
Mrs . Daly , Herr Schmidt , Mr . Ellar , Mr . J . Doughty , Mademoiselle Pauline ; and amongst the new engagements are to bo found those popular favourites , —Mr . T . Lyon , Mr . E . B . Gaston , and Mrs . R , Atkinson . The season opened with a nautical domestic drama , written by T . P . Taylor , author of tbe Waits , & c & c , entitled " The Anchors Weighed . " The piece abounds with moving incidents , and the language , tbo excellent scenic effects , and the powerful acting received well merited applause . Thc drama was eminently successful , and was announced for repetition every , night until further notice . At the conclusion , Mr . Lyon , Mrs . Atkinson , Mr . E . B . Gaston , Mr . II . Lewis , and Miss Terry , came before the curtain at the call of the audience and received its warmest approbation . The remainder of thc performance was a petite
drama , entitled "Thc Emigre Daughter , " and a ballet , called " The Phantom ' s Wedding . " Characters in the former were well sustained by Mr . Wilmot Cut ford , from thc Exeter Theatre . Mi " . John Gates , Mr . Potter , and Miss Terry , as " Lalotte , " in the Emigre Daughter , the latter by Herr Schmidt , Mr . Ellar , ( from Covcnt-garden Theatre ) J . W . Doughty , and Mademoiselle Pauline . The house was crowded , and present appearances augur well for a brilliant and successful season . Wo are happy to learn that . "The National Victim Committee " have taken this house for a benefit , on tbe evening of Wedncsdey , tbe 21 th insfc ., and we trust our femate friends , who invariably are diligent in the great cau e of humanity and philanthtopy , will take care that all their acquaintances are supplied with box or pit tickets , on the occasion .
LYCEUM . At this house , which opened for the season on Monday night , were revived Mr . Morton ' s vaudeville of the Sentinel , and Mr . Planche ' s farce of the Garrich Fever , both Olympic pieces , neither of which , we believe , has been performed since the retirement of Madame Vestrisfrom the Wych-street management . The former , which , ifc will be remembered , is a dramatic anecdote touching the youth of Frederick tbe Great , contains an effective part fer Mr . C . Mathews , while tbe latter served to introduce Mr . Oxberry in the part Originally lavcd
p by Mr . hwlcy . Ihe Follies of a Night , first introduced at Drury-lane under Mr . Macr ' eady ' s management , and played at tbe Lyceum in tlw sowm trf la-t si-ason , was the staple piece of the eveninc Madame Vcstris , who appeared iu the last-named piece , was received with the loudest applause ; and so was Mr . C . Mathews , as soon as he was recognised through the dress of the sentinel , Thc company is nearly tbo same as last season , with thc addition ef Mrs . Humby and Mr . Oxberry . Tho private boxes of the house are greatly , improved by an addition to their dimensions .
"c '
HAYMARKET . This house opened for the season on Monday night , with the-Love Chase , in which Mrs . Nisbett resumed her character of Neighbour Constance , which she created when the piece was originally produced . Miss Jane Mordaunt , well known at other theatres , but , we believe , a novice at the Hay-

market , played the interesting character ofLvdia . Mr . Webster still retains his original part of Wddrake , while Mrs . Clifford and Mr . Tilbury are the successors of Mrs . Glover and the late Mr . Strickland , m . the characters of Widow Green and Sir William Fondlove . Mrs . Sisbett , who played with her usual heartiness , was received with continued acclamations , and a cheering welcome was given to the rest of the favourites of the establishment . As after pieces there were played An Alarming Sacrifice , Tivice Killed , and a Kiss in the Dark , in which tho talents of Mr . Buckstone , Mrs . Fitzwilliam , and Mr . and Mrs . Kceley , were displayed . All these pieces are perfectly familier to the public , and we have only to say they elicited the same laughter as on former occasions . The house was crowded . The theatre has been thoroughly cleaned in every part , and the interior entrance has boon pamted a light pcagreen .
«P Agricultural Meetings. The Following ...
AGRICULTURAL MEETINGS . The following annual agricultural meetings were held last week : — South East IIaxis . —The meeting of this society and also , of the kindred Cattle Show Club , was held at Farchamdn Tuesday , The ploughing matches , and the exhibition of cattle and implements , took place in a field belonging to Charles Osborne , Esq ., the indefatigable secretary and founder of the association . The ploughing was of first-rate order , and reflected credit on the labourers who were engaged . in ifc , and afforded much interest even to the uninitiated spectator . The ploughs themselves did
their work so well that the judges must have had groat difficulty in deciding ' which was the best . Tbe operations in tho field , and thc stock and implements exhibited , were of tlte most , satisfactory character , and such as could not fail to procure for both the societies increased support , and to extend their usefulness in those quarters for whose benefi t they were especially founded . The dinner was held at the Red Lion , II . P . Delme , Esq ., in tho chair , there being about eighty gentlemen prosent , including farmers of substance and landed proprietors .
East SumtET . —The ploughing match and meeting for rewarding servants of this society took place on Wednesday , in a field belonging to My . Lanfear , at Waddon Court , near Cr-ydon . After tho ploughing terminated , and the prizes were awarded , the members of , the society proceeded to dine at the Greyhound-inn at Croydon . Capt . Wigsell in the chair , Mr . Alcock and the Hon . Locke King , M . P . ' s being present . The latter hon . gentleman , on returning thanks for his health being drank , said : " There was one point on which he could speak with safety , and that was to congratulate them on the abundant harvest with which they had been blest this year . He knew that prices were very low—he wished they were better—but
bad as they were , tho farmers were in a better position than they were last year . The great object under the altered state of things must bo to make the land produce more than it had ever done before by the application of additional capital and labour . ( A Voice— " Where is the capitalI to come from ? " which produced a general burst of merriment . ) He was aware of the difficulties in which some of them were placed , and he felt that the landlords must meet them , as ho was fully convinced it was impossible to go on under the present system without a great altcrnt'on . The tenant farmers must bo assisted , and lie had always maintained that permanent improvements
depended upon the landlord . They might say that ho was dealing in truisms ; but he would say that without good ploughing and better manuring the farmers could not succeed . Land generally was not half so well manured as ifc ought to be to bring it into a good state of cultivation . He believed it to bo capable of immense improvement , and with the means he had spoken of , combined with additional labour , he had no doubt the land would be doubly productive ; and by finding employment for labour they would be spared the necessity of engaging in schemes of emigration , which he ' loooked upon with doubt as a means of permanent relief to tho country .
Cleveland Society . —This society held their sixteenth annual cattle show at Guisborough on Thursday last , and it passed off in a manner highly satisfactory to the members of this thriving and useful institution , ifc having been pre-eminently useful in increasing the knowledge of tho agriculturists of thc district relative to the art in which they are engaged , and of promoting an increase in the productions of the soil . In connexion with this institution a fanners' club bas been established , and the most beneficial results are anticipated from their joint operations . The show took place in two spacious fields at tho east end of tbe town of Guisborough , belonging to It . Chaloncr , Esq ., where the cattle , sheep , pigs , and implements were exhibited . The poultry—the show of which could not be surpassed at any other similar meeting—were
exhibited in a paddock adjoining tho fields in question , in tho occupation of Mr . William Darnton . The entries of stock were not so numerous as last year at Stokosloy , although tbo show was an average one . There was a very good selection of implements , tbo principal exhibitors being Mr . Walker and Mr . Palmer , of Stockton , and Mr . Busby , of Newton-le-Willows , near Bedale . Many of the implements were tested on Wednesday , in a field at tbe west wid of Guisborough , in the occupation of John Maugban , Esq . Tbe weather being very fine on Thursday , the show fields were thronged by a highly respectable company , amongst whom were the Earl of Zetland , Lord Ferersham , Hon . S . Buncombe , M . P ., and other gentlemen—warm friends and supporters of thc society . The amount of premiums awarded for stock , implements , die ., was £ 170 .
West Cumberland Society . —The annual exhibition of the above Society was held on Thursday , as heretofore , in the spacious field adjoining the Castle Garden , opposite the residence of the Earl of Lonsdale , in Whitehaven , The day proved to be one of a thousand for exciting a goodly attendance , being remarkably fine and propitious . Of late years the annual show of cattle ; uid husbandry implements unluckily has had but rainy and boisterous weather —this year , however , has been a welcome exception , and consequent ^ thc stoeU of the farmers was shown to advantage . The display of cattle was ot a very superior order , and augurs well for the growing prosperity of this society .
Bolsovob Society . —This meeting was hold on Friday . The show of stock was first rate , the meeting very numerous , and although Mr . Cavendish , M . P ., and other gentlemen were obliged to leave early to wait upon thc Queen at Derby , and many were attracted by the Chesterfield Uncos , yet the dinner party mustered nearly sixty . Mr . Thompson , of Stubbing Court , in tho chair—Mr . Welfitt , of Langwith Lodge , vice-chairman , —supported by Mr . Evans , M . P ., ' Mr . Evans , jun ., Mr . Cottingham , Mayor of Chesterfield , Rev . J . 11 . Gray , & c . & c , GLAJionoANSiiiKE Society . — This meeting was held on Tuesday , at Cow bridge , in a large field adjoining tbe Bear Inn . The general show of stock on this occasion was said to surpass any former one of thc kind ever held at Cow bridge . Mr . Powell , a gentleman , near Bridgend , obtained the prize for the best fat ox . A yearling rant bred by Mr . Thomas ,
of Tydraw , was the admiration of all present . Mr . Thomas also obtained a prize of £ 10 for the best nine articles , besides another prize for a young horse . Mr . Bowdcn was successful in obtaining three prizes for tbo best pair of yearling steers ; also several other prizeo for heifers , & c . The show of agricultural implements was very extensive , and the principal prizes were awarded to Mr . Howard , of Cardiff , In tbe evening about 140 gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner , provided at the Bear Inn . J . Bruce Pryco , Esq ., presided ; and , after the usual loyal toasts were disposed of , J . W . Booker , Esq ., addressing bis agricultural friends in a consolatory speech , in which he advised them to trust not in their legislators , for they had betrayed them ; not in their representatives , for they might deceive them ; but in themselves , God , and protection .
Ledbury , Evesham , asd Ludlow . —At these meetings , although somewhat gloomy anticipation as to their results were entertained previously to their taking place from tho despondence prevailing in the agricultural mind , it would appear they were not borne out by these exhibitions which proved to bo equal in regard to the stock produced to any of their predecessors . The speeches at the dinners succeeding them also were of a cheering character as to hopes of better times coining .
New Eleciro-Teleonarii Patent.—The Intro...
New ELEciRO-TELEonArii Patent . —The introduction of the electric telegraph a year or two back excited amazement , bufc the working hitherto of that extraordinary power has not been worthy of thc subtle agency employed . We learn that this most striking invention of modern times has now been brought to a state of perfection in the working which will cause it to bo generally used . Thc prices for transmission will be 300 or 400 per cent , under ihosc now charged . A business-man at Liverpool , or elsewhere , uny communicate witb his coinincrchil confident in Loudon ov Paris without the possibility of ii third party pcnoiratitig their secrets , aud ; ill this is done with a rapidity unknown to the existing
system . Tbe new invention occurred to the mmds of an American and English gentleman almost at the same time . The two patents have now been united , and the working management has been entrusted to excellent hands , Messrs . Wjlraer and Smith , of London and Liverpool , whose energy and activity , as representatives of the Unitnd States and tho metropolitan press during the last thirty years , arc familiar to most newspaper readers , These gentlemen will bo enabled to print messages at the rate of 200 letters in a minute . The French Government have conceded jto the . English patentee , Mr . Jacob Brett , tho exclusive right of telegraphing between this country and France .
Election Of Lord Mayor. Saturday Last Be...
ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR . Saturday last being Michaelmas-day a Common Hall was held for tbe election ofa Lord Mayer for the ensuing year . The names ot the qualified Aldermen who bad not passed the chair , having been put seriatim by the common crier , when for Mr . Alderman Farncomb , who is next in regular rotation , a vast number of hands were hclS up—the hands of nearly all who could hear the name sub-„
mitted ; some few were also held up for tho next ( Alderman Musgrove ) , whose name was well received . Tho Common-Sergeant immediately announced that the sheriffs were of opinion that the election had fallen upon Thomas Farncomb , aldorman and tallow-chandler , and Mr . John Musgrove , alderman and clothworker . The announcement was received with mueh cheering . The Lord Mayor and Aldermen having retired to deliberate , shortly returned into the hall , and the Recorder announced to tbe livery that tho election had fallen upon Mr . Alderman Farncomb .
SWEARING IN OF THE SHERIFFS . On Monday , Messrs . Lawrence and Nicoll , the sheriffs elect of London and Middlesex for tbe ensuing year , were presented in the Court of Exchequer at Westminster before Mr . ' George Baukcs , M . P ., the Cursitor Baron , and took their oaths of office .
Shipwrecks And Loss Of Life. Since Satur...
SHIPWRECKS AND LOSS OF LIFE . Since Saturday night the equinoctial gales have set in along the north and north-east coast with tin * usual severity , considering the early period of the season . Tho casualties amongst the shipping , especially those in the coasting trade , have not " only been exceedingly numerous , but in several instances involved the loss of all on board . Up to Friday morning the weather continued fine ; as the day advanced , however , fogs and drizzling rain came on , which prevailed tbe whole night . The gale , which had been gradually increasing in violence from the N . E ., had by Saturday night reached a . most ' . vlwrfl . - ing aspect , raging along the coast from Harwich northward to Scotland , with a heavy breaking sea , that excited general alarm for tho safety of the shipping . The subjoined , it is feared , forms but a brief detail of the havoc caused by tho gales . Between Seaton Carew and Hartlepool the damage occasioned in the course of Sunday was enormous . No fewer than fifteen vessels were driven ashore .
Two of them afterwards sunk , and the others became perfect wrecks . The agent of Lloyd ' s lias obtained a list of some of their names , and among them we find the brig James and Francis , Mr . Ross , master * , brig John Watson , Kirby , belonging to Hartlepool ; the Malta , Siren , Curlew , Cumberland , Elizabeth , the schooner X Y Z , the George and Eleanor , Voyager , Swallow , Nimrod , Aid , aiid two German brigs laden with coals . A most providential circumstance connected with this terrible instance of wreckage is , that the crews succeeded in saving their lives with one exception , viz ., those belonging to one of the ; German brigs , who are said to have been washed off the rigging and drowned . From Shields we hear tbat three vessels are
announced to have been lost to the north of tbe Marsden Rocks . One is described to have been the Verbena , Captain Watson , bound for St . Petersburg . Here , happily , the crew were preserved . Another was a schooner , which was totally lost , and all hands belonging to her perished in attempting to gain the rooks . - In this neighbourhood of the coast the fury of the gale created the deepest terror ; the sea rolled fearfully , and many painful forebodings are expressed for the safety of those vessels that put out in the course of Saturday . Further northward , fragments of wrecked vessels , nnd several bodies have been cast up . Sufficient time as yet has not transpired to collect further information , bufc there appears to be little doubt that one
or more vessels foundered with every soul on board during the storm . In the vicinity of Redcar four distressing losses happened . In two instances every unfortunate creature belonging to the vessel * met with a watery grave . Thoy > vere the Albion , a brig , Mr . Brotherton , master , of Newcastle , coal laden , and the schooner John , of Sollcoats , with a cargo of linseed and deals . They were driven ashore in the dead of tho night , tbo gale blowing tremendously from N . E ,, and very speedily broke up . Tne other two were a Dantzic brig , called tbe Johanna , and a vessel named the Frankfort , bound for Shields It is expected that the latter will be got off , imfc the
foreigner was thrown on the rocks and became a complete loss . Off Sunderland , Middlesborough , Whitby , and other plnces along this part of the coast great mischief was caused . Between the upper part of the coast of Durham , and nearly as fur as Yarmouth , as many as fourteen vessels are reported to be ashore . Several have gone to p ieces , and should the gale not have moderated , ifc is doubtful whether the remainder of tho vessels could ?>« got off . Afc present it is difficult to conjecture the aggregate amount of property lost . Collision at Ska between her Marty ' s Steamers Tridext and Dwarp off Cork . —On
Wednesday week a collision took place at sen between her Majesty's steamers Trident and Dwarf , by which the latter was very severely iejurcd . The full particulars have not reached us , but we ieam that the Trident , which had been engaged on Tuesday in towing out thc Ganges from the harbour , was returning , when about sixty miles from bis . l she ran down upon the Dwarf , which left on Tuesday evening for Portsmouth . A tremendous gal- > was " blowing at the time , and tho injury sustained by tho Dwarffrom the collision was such that the Tn ' -Jenfc Mas obliged to take her into tow , and run for Kinsale harbour . Before reaching Kinsale , ho *>; ver , tho water gained so much upon tho Dwarf , ihere being five feet water in the bold , that the erew were , as we are informed , obliged to be taken on
board the Trident , and when the vessels reached port thc Dwarf was in a sinking condition . On Thursday the Shearwater was ordered to piveced to Kinsale for the purpose of rendering such assistance as might lie necessary , but . it was found that thc Dwarf , which had been towed into skdiow water , had received such injuries that , until she was repaired , it would be impossible to remove Iter . The Shcarwateraccordingly returnedto Qucem town ou Thursday night . During the early part oi * the gale on Tuesday night , and before the Gangs- and Trident parted company , one of the crew : ¦ ' tho former was blown from tbe fore-yard-arm in !¦> the sea , and sank before assistance could be rendered him .
Caution To Yc-Uko Men.—A Set Of Petty La...
Caution to Yc-uko Men . —A set of petty larceny scamps , who confine tJieir practice to the metropolis , manage by various means to nibble sever .- ! i iittla slices from ' tho unwary . In a morning paper , in the early part of tbe week , the following advertis-Aiaent appeared : — " Wanted , a clerk and collector in the house , estate , and general agency business , of long standing , at the west , where there is a connexion already established . Wages 25 s ., and profit from business done . Thirty pounds in cash will be required of tbe party closing upon the engagement , returnable on relinquishing the employment . Persons desirous of permanent employment , from 11 till 4 , may apply personally to G-., at — , Oxfordstreet ; or by letter , post-paid . Nominal security will not bo accepted . " This is exactly tbe sort of thing to catch thc inexperienced . Twenty-five
shillings a week , . beside thc profits from business done , for five hours each day , without exacting any particular qualification , is rather tempting to a young countryman , as ifc would give him so ' much leisure time to see the "lions , " and there is . very little doubt that Mr . G . will have Jots of applications for the place . Some months ago an impudent scamp , who had contrived to get into a iittla " agency" shop , managed also , by an advertisement , differing from the above only in thc address , to dupe two young men out of £ 10 each , by engaging them at 25 s . each , and getting £ lo as a deposit . Having only paid them tho first week , and his dupes finding they had very little chance of getting any
more , they made application to Mr . Norton , at Lambeth Police-court , and , by direction of that magistrate , their victimiser was brought to that court to 'Answer , a . chavgG « t * o \ yta , \ nuvg their money under false pretences . When examined , he could , not mention a single individual with whom he bad done business , notwithstanding his engaging two clerks and collectors . He , however , had the cunning to get from his dupes such agreements in writing as neutralised tbe criminal ingredients of the case , and rendered it one ofa civil character . - * Sunday Times . Strauss , the celebrated composer of quadrilles and waltzes , has just died at Vienna of the scarlet fever .
The Circulation ov the Blood , —The circulation of the blood was first discovered by Harvey , and the consequence was the loss of all his practice , for he was looked at in the light of a quack . Still as Galileo said as regards the earth , so Harvey said as regards the blood , " It moves untwith standing . " Who is there in these days who doubts the circulation of the blood ? It is not however generally known that one-fifth of the Mk of the Wood is continually circulating through the bruin . It will therefore not appear surprising that if the blood be at aU in an impure state , the biiiiu cannot perform its proper functions . Want of energy , want oi ' resolution , loss of memory , & c ., are the consequences . Many medicines have beett cried up a $ iio «« essi « B die power of purifying tilt blood , but tlicy have miserably failed , if , however , public opinion : uid the uiiiiiinn of the most eminent » f the medical prore . « iciii be of anv value , the medicine known by the name of " JJAses'S Scorbutic Drbps" deserves the appellation of the most powerful and efficacious purifier of the blood as yet dis « envenri . It is comnosed entirely of the juices of herbs .
DROVSV CmtABtE BV TUE USE OF IIoLLOWAY's PlUS , —TbS singular efficacy of Holloway ' s Tills in the numerous cure * effected by their use , in some of the most obstinate cases of Dropsy , is truly astonisWng . This medicine acts with such peculiar effect upon the system , that the fluids this direful disease are imperceptibly wbolly prevented from any further accumulaUon distressing symptoms which accompany the being thus dispersed , the sufferer regains spirits and a completely renovated constitution Females , at a particular period of lite , frequently end in dropsy , should have recourse adnrirable pills . ^ mm au
