4 The Weather Asd The Crops. Cambridge.—...
_4 THE WEATHER ASD THE CROPS . Cambridge . —The harvest has progressed most r rap idly , . many fields of wheat have been carried , t though perhaps if more field room had heen given , i the condition would hive been better . The wheat I harvest in the immediate vicinity of tbe town may j be said to be completed . Some parcels have heen i thrashed , and we are sorry to say that there is a j great deficiency in the yield , much more so than was at first _anticipaied . The barley harvest is proceeding rapidly , and the crops , generally speaking , are heavy , the ear is , however , thin , and the yield will therefore not be so great as in some yeats ; the _ouau tv for the most part is excellent . Peas are a
foir crop , and ** eans _, notwithstanding the ravages ofthe black fly , are exceedingly well hung . There is no doubt but that the blight has most seriously attacked the potatoes—fields which a few days since looked in full vigour are now completely changed , showing nnmistakeable symptoms of the disease with which they have been visited for the last few years . The turnips and wnrzel are both looking remarkably well , and as there is abundance of feed , we do not anticipate any great reduction in tbe price uf meat ; still , with the failure of the wheat crop and the potato disease , there is anything but a eheering prospect for the farmer .
Ddbhau . — " The storm of wind on Monday , " says a Stockton correspondent , " mis done some damage , in exposed situations , to the wheat crops . The apple trees , however , have suffered most ; they are , I am informed , nearly stripped : and our mar ket to day ( Wednesday ) _corroborates the assertion , hy the large quantities offered for sale . " The corn crops of our own district have suffered materially -from the gale , much of the grain haviug been shaken out . The harFest is now fast becoming general in Gateshead and the neighbourhood . — _GatefTiead Observer .
_Ccmbeblasd . —The harvest has generally commenced in the neighbourhood of Gosforth , and tbe sickle is in full operation , but within thelast few days a large quantity of rain has fallen accompanied by high westerly winds , which much retarded the work of the reaper , and done some damage to the standing corn . Reapeis are in request , and wages this day have been 2 s . per day , although many groups of Irishmen are travelling the roads in want of employment . If , however , next week be line , all bands will be required , as a large breadth of grain is fully ripe . Oats and barley are very good , well ripe , a good colour , aud a full crop . Wheat is somewhat light , but takes off full in the ear and well feu . Potatoes , I am sorry to say , are again diseased .
Cosset . —Harvest is commenced here in good earnest . Wheat is most abundant in quantity and excellent in quality . Oats a fair average , bnt barley is miserably detective . And , as regards the potatoe crop , the fatal disease has re-appeared with as much virulence all over this neighbourhood as in any former years . V 7 mTEnAVEX . —The grain crops in the neighbourhood are now in such astaleoffordwardness as to afford constant _employment for the sickle ; but during a great part of the past week the weather has been so wet _a ;* d stormy tlmt little progress has been made in the harvest field , and some of the strongest crops iu exposed situations have been con * siderably laid bv the wind and rain .

It is _questionable whether more is _knoivii < _-f diseases , their cause , and their cure , at this moment , than in the time of Oalea ; it is certain that diseases are quite as Bumercas , and in the aggregate as fatal .

Louis Phuippe Was The Eldest Son Of Loui...
Louis _PhUippe was the eldest son of Louis Philippe -Joseph , Duke of Orleans , and of Marie , the only daughter-of the wealth y Duke of _Penthievrc . ? L , _^ V C , ty of PariB » on t _^ Oth of October , 1773 , and was consequentl y in his 77 th year _, lie was at . the head of tho Orleans branch of the Bourbon family , which originated in Philippe , a soni of I _^ uis the Thirteenth , created Due _d'Orleans hy his elder brother , of whom the ex-king was the grandson * great t _** _M * o » . Philippe , the first , ' e ° , ,. 0 rIea s was twice married , his last wife being Elizabeth Charlotte of Bohemia , _grand-daut-hwr of James I . of England . It was from this 1 , _-Vdv
tnat the Orleans _faxmty descended , and through her has been traced a direct relationshi p to the line of Stuart . When a minor , Louis Philippe was entitled Duke of Valois , but on his father succeeding to the title of Duke of Orleans in 1786 , he became Duke of Chartres . lie was , with hia brothers and sisters , placed under the superintendence of Madame de Genlis , and under her tuition they were taught the English and other languages . Of the political movement in 1789 the countess and her husband were warm adherents , and they foiled not to impress their sentiments on the young minds of their charge . Louis Philippe was introduced , whilst very young , a member ofthe Jacobin Club , and was frequently present at its sittings .
In June , 17 * 33 , he proceeded to Vendome , where a popular commotion took place in consequence of a number of clergymen refusing to take an oath , he being at that time appointed to an honorary colonelcy in the Uth regiment of Dragoons . At this place he saved the lives ofthe non-juring clergymen , who were about being killed b y the police . Some time after this cmeute he saved the life of a citizen of Tendome , who was rescued from drowning only by the heroic efforts ofthe duke . For his in . trepidity he was presented with a civic crown . About two months after going to Tendome he quitted the garrison with his regiment , and proceeded to Valenciennes , in the north of France ,
where he continued his military avocations . About the middle of April , 1702 , war was declared against Austria , and now Louis Philippe made his first campai gn . At the head of bis troops he fought at Viihny , in September , 1792 , and afterwards , on the 6 th ' of November , under Duniourier . "While the duke was engaged in repelling the foreign armies which menaced the tottering fabric of the French monarchy , the revolution was hastening to its climax . The monarchy being extinguished , and the king nnd his family placed in confinement , a decree of banishment was hastily passed against all other memhers of the Bourbon Capet race . This act of proscription , however , was as summaril y repealed .
On the 21 st of January , 1793 , the unfortunate Louis XVI . was executed , and on the 6 th of November the Duke of Orlerns ( _Eiialite ) was tried before the revolutionary tribunal , on a charge of conspiring against the nation , was condemned , and guillotined . At that period the Duke of Chartres fled into the Belgian _Netherlands , then under Austria , where he was courteously received , but he refused to take up arms against France . For some time he was subject to great privations , frequently journeying on foot , with a pack on his back , aud shoes worn out , and sometimes fearful of discovery . He , however , managed to get an introduction to the teacher of an academy at Reichenan _, in the Grisons . Here , under a feiemed name , and without Item ? _recognised .
he taught geography , and the French and En « lish languages for many months . In consequence of some political troubles , the Duke of Orleans—for such he was now entitled to be called , after the decease of his father—left Switzerland , and travelled through a great part of Europe , residing for some time in Denmark , without the knowledge of the French government . Through his mother , the Duchess of Orleans , a communication was made , that if he went to America , the sequestration should be taken from his property , and she would be made more comfortable , and her two other sons , Montpensier n : _* d Beaujolais _, should he released from prison , and permitted also to embark for America . To this proposition the Duke of Orleans _acceded ;
and , accordingly , on the 24 th of September , 1796 . he embarked for Philadelphia , whioh he reached after a passage of . twenty-seven days , and where he was joined by Montpensier and Beaujolais . Whilst here they learned that a law had been passed in France decreeing the expulsion of all the _Bourhon family from the country , and that their mother had been deported to Spain . Their object was now to join her , but owing to their pecuniary circumstances , and to thc war between England and Spain , this ohjecfc was not easily accomplished . After tinny extraordinary adventures , however , _tht-y reached England , and having proceeded to London , they shortly afterwards took up their quarters at Twickenham . Tbe English government having allowed the Duke of Orleans a free passage in a frigate to _Jlinorca , he proceeded thither ,
expecting to find the means of passing over to Spain . From the convulsed state that country wns in , the expedition proved fruitless , and he was obliged to return back to England again , retiring to Twicfe enham , at which place the Duke of _llontpensier died on the 18 th of May , 1807 , and was buried in Westminster Abbey . At the invitation of King Ferdinand of Naples , the Duke of Orleans visited Palermo , where he gained the affections of the Princess Amelia , the second daughter ofthe Ring , and in 1809 they wero married . In 1 SI 4 , intelligence reached Palermo that _Xapoleon bad abdicated the throne , and that the Bourbons were to be restored to France . On the 18 th of Miiy he arrived in Paris , when , in a short time , he whs in the enjoyment of the honours due to tbem .
The return of _Xapoleon in 1815 broke np his arrangements , and he again went to reside at Twickenham . On _tl . _* e return of Louis XVI 1 L , after the hundred days , an ordinance was issued , authorising , according to the charter as it then stood , all the princes of the blood lo take their seat 3 in the Chamber of Peers , and the duke returned to France in September , 1815 . Uerc he distinguished himself by a display of liberal sentiments , which were so little agreeable to the administration that he returned to England , where he remained till 1817 . lie then returned to France , but was not ajrain summoned to sit in the Chamber of Peers . He , therefore , remained in private life for some time , when an unexpected scene was opened—viz .,
the revolution of 1839 , during which the King * . \ as ic effect ; _discrowned , and the throne vacated . In this emergency , the provisional government , which had arisen cut ofthe struggle , and in which Lnfitte , Lafayette , and other politicians had taken the lead , turned towards Louis Philippe . A negotiation with him was opened , and , after a few days' consideration , ho acceded to the request , and at noon on the 3 lstof July , he went to Paris , and accepted the office which had been assigned to him . On the 2 nd of August the abdication of Charles X . and his son was placed In the lands of the lieutenantgeneral—the abdication , however , being in favour
of the Duke of Bordeaux . On the 7 th , the Chamber of Deputies declared the throne vacant , and on the following day the chamber went in a body to Louis Philippe , and offered him the _cretvn on terms of a revised charter , which he formerly accepted in the Chamber of Deputies on the 9 th . He brought to the throne habits which peculiarly fitted him for active business . Ue examined himself all important papers connected with the afiairs of state , read the principal journals , and attended even to thc details of his own private fortune , and to the management of the att ' airs of his family and _children
A writer in Frazers Magazine , writing some years ago , says : — " The King of the French was a early riser , seldom being found in bed after six in the . summer or after eight in winter . At eleven , when in Paris , he generally visited the buildings of the TniWics nnd the Pnlais Roy .-. ? . On such occasions he was often accompanied by his departed sister , tied generally by his architect . Here he was in a congenial element , lie had no mean knowledge of . _ircJiitecttire , and was seldom so happy as when dabbling in bricks and mortar , and ordering necessary alterations and repair ? . After a council the king would proceed over the Tuileries and Louvre , for he liked to visit the ateliers of painters . If he entered into conversation with an artist whose
_manneii- an *! _discourse pleased him , he told tho painter how he _sighed on remembering the times when he walked from one end of Paris to another with , an umbrella under his arm . 'Ah , my good sir , ' he would say , when I was Duke of Orleans , I could carry my * old umbrella as a walking-stick from one _eiid cf Paris to the other—go out with a pair of strong old shoes , which had got the shape and form of my feet , and gave me ample room and verge enough ! In such "tiisc and gear I could stare in at
till print and hook shops , look over the stalls , which was a great delight and pleasure to me ; but , being the King ofthe French , I cannot do that now . Tho other d : ? y ' my people' wanted to prevent a worthy m . _in and a distinguished magistrate the entree lo me because he cairicd an old umbrella , and was somewhat dirt-bespattered ; but I told « my people ' ihat those who carried umbrellas , and whose shoes _, hose , and _trowj-crs were somewhat marked with la boue de Paris , were the happiest people after all . Voila Icfail , mon bon monsieur . ''
The civil list granted to Louis Philippe by the law of tbe 2 nd of March , 1832 , differed in amount of allowance in money from that to his predecessor hy about twenty millions of francs per annum , but Louis Philippe was relieved from keeping up an establishment of gardes du corps . The grant was twelve millions , cseluaTc of ihe revenues to be- derived from numerous woods , forests , and estates . On the other hand , thc keeping up and repairing these estates were at the charge of ( he civil list . As Louis Philippe bad a strong passion Ior building , he had taken care to have a clause inserted in the civil list law , authorising him to make such additions , alterations , and embellishments as he should deem proper to any of the royal _dwflaias . The
Louis Phuippe Was The Eldest Son Of Loui...
full swing which Louis Philippe-gave to this hobby was evinced by . the improvements in the palace of the Tutlenes , the restoring of Fontainldeau and its dependencies , the conversion ofthe Palace of Versailles into an historical museum , and works at _oiher places , largely indebted tho civil list-to what amount has heen variousl y stated . However amiable some of his private ' qualities might be , it was soon found that , in his public capacity , Louis Philippe was not acceptable to the French nation . The numerous attempts made to assassinate him are sufficientl y familiar . Be would not give way to the advancing spirit of . the age , and * , ear by year his government became more and more
corrupt aud unpopular . With a great private fortune and a liberal civil list , he yet ran into debt . His tradesmen were constantl y applying to him for payment . He owed his fruiterers 95 , 000 francs , aud his baker at Neuilly 25 , 000 francs . No man possessed in a higher degree the mania of heaping provisions , purchasing without measure , and generally without choice ; The cellars of ISeuiUy contained 75 , 000 bottles of 150 different kinds of wines , aud upwards of 1 , 200 full hogsheads . The bronze stores of _Villers were filled with a sufficient quantity of works of art , small statues , clocks , various ornaments in gilt bronze and others , _( o furnish three palaceB .
At last tbe period of his downfall came . He opposed the reforms loudly demanded . Tho fatal day was the 2 ith of February , 1848 . The story has been thus graphically told by M . Emile de Girardin , in his personal narrative of the events which took place in the palace of the Tuileries on the day ef the abdication and flight of Louis Philippe : M . Emile de Girardin was passing before the Hotel des Affaires _Estrangercs _, when the accidental discharge which lighted a revolution took place . On February 24 , at seven o ' clock in the morning , he bad gone through the streets , and had , by personal observation satisfied himself of the gravity of the situation ; he then determined tu go to the Tuileries , and arrived there ateight o ' clock after having scaled several barricades . He demanded to sneak to the King ; General Rumiguy requested him first to see M . Thiers , who was at tbe
headquarters of the Carousel with MM . Barrot , de Itemusat , Duvergier , d'Houranne , and Lamoriciere . M . de Girardin went there and convinced them tbat the situation was more grave than they imagined . From tho head quarters he went back to the Tuileries—a proclamation was got up hastily , but where was it to be printed ? There was plenty of . rtillery , but no printing office . A printing press and types would at that moment have been north more tban ten cannons and their ammunition . M . Thiers implored M . Merman and M . de Girardin to compose and print as quickly as possible at the printing offices of the _Constttuttonncl and the Presse tbe proclamation which had been prepared , and which announced the formation of the ministry of Thiers , Barrot , Duvergier , and Eemusat , and the dissolution of the chamber . Atthe same moment that M . de Girardin came out of the Tuileries MM .
Guizot , do Broglie , and d Haussonville arrived there on foot . They were not received . Seconds are hours . To go from the Tuileries . to the Rue _iVfoitCtiiarcre , crossing thirty barriers , required more tban thirty minutes . Tho proclamation of M . Thiers is composed and printed . It was in vain to attempt to post it up ; it was hissed at , and immediately torn dowH . M . de Girardin , judging by this fact ofthe gravity of circumstances , took upon himself to compose immediately the following proclamation : — " Tuileries . Feb . 24 th , 1848 ; eleven
o ' clock in the morning—Abdication of the king ; regency ofthe Duchess of Orleans ; dissolution of tho chamber ; general amnesty ; " and returned with all despatch to tho Tuileries . He informed Marshal Bugeaud at the head quarter ofthe Carousal of what was passing , and then went to the cabinet of the king , where he was introduced after lesing several minutes in attending . The king was in an arm chair , near the window . MSI . Thiers and de Bcmusat were present * , they were standing near the fire-place .
" What is the matter , M . de Girardin ? " said the King . — •• There is not , sire , a moment to lose , and it tlie most decisive measures are not now taken in tin hour royalty will have ceased in France . " All eyes were directed on M . de Giratlin , as if ho had lost his reason , lie perceived M . Merman , the principal editor of the Conslituiionnel , who was present , and appealed to him . The statement of M . < le Girardin was confirmed by M . Merruan . Alter a moment of silence the King said , " What is to . be done ?"— " Abdicate , sire I—abdicate !—" Yes , without a moment ' s hesitation , and confer the regency on . . the Duchess of Orleans , for the
Duke de Nemours will not be accepted . The King rose and said , " Gentlemen , shall I mount my horse ?"— "No , " was the reply . —The Duke de Montpensier approached thc King and pressed him to abdicate . —The King said , " i abdicate . The regency of the Duchess of Orleans is accepted . " The Messager gave the following as the autograph act of abdication signed by "Louis Philippe : — " 1 abdicate the crown which the voice of the nation called me to wear , in favour of my grandson the Count de Paris . May he succeed in the task which this day falls upon him . Louis Philippe . "
The Messager added— " This important document was snatched at the Tuileries from the hands ofthe genera ] , who was going to present it to the people , by the citizen Charles Lagrange , of Lyons , who cried on seizing it' No Regency—No more Kings—Vive la Republique . ' It was written on a square and irregular piece of paper , which was folded before it was quite dry * , it is blotted vfith _duplicata , in some places . " His subsequent fate is familiar to all . His fli g ht from Paris to the sea-shore ; his escape in disguise to England ; his kind reception in this country , are well known . Claremont was given him as an abode , and there , with the exception of some weeks ' sojourn at Richmond , nnd a season spent nt St . Leonard ' s , Louis Philippe continued to reside . Uerc , too , he breathed his last on Monday morning , the 20 th of August .
The Late Thomas Preston. A Few Friends O...
THE LATE THOMAS PRESTON . A few friends of tbis veteran reformer have formed themselves into a committee to receive funds on behalf of his widow , with the view of securing lor her a small annuity , or some other _assistance in her old age . The following particulars of the deceased patriot may he interesting to our readers — " At a very early period of his life Mr . Thomas Preston espoused the cause of Parliamentary Reform , and became the friend and coadjutor of Home Tooke , Thelwall , and Hardy . So long ago as March . 1782 . he was admitted a memter of the
famous Corresponding Society , or "Friends of the People , " ns they were called . Fer more than half a century he was prominently known as an active , energetic , and dauntless leader of tho Radical reformers , who , especially after the peace of 1815 , were deemed so truly formidable by the Tory governments of the _Regency and of the reign of George IV ., as to be subjected to many state prosecutions ; and even to cause , for a time , the legislative interference , in the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act , in order that they might be effectually paralysed in their endeavours to obtain that parliamentary reform which was afterwards , in 1832 ,
achieved . " In 1 SI 7 _, Mr . Preston had to undergo his amount of suffering . De was immured as a state prisoner iu the Tower of London , whence he was taken to the Court of King ' s Bench , Westminster , and was there arraigned upon an indictment charging him with high treason . The trial lasted for nine days , during which the utmost efforts and ingenuity of the Attorney-General and other crown lawyers were exerted to obtain his conviction , but he was honourably acquitted by the jury . In 1820 he was a second time _arraigned upon another charge of high
treason ; but the Attorney-General conscious of thc groundlessness ofthe prosecution , after the prisoner had been placed at thc bar , and thc indictment had been read , declined to call any witnesses , * and Mr . Preston wis , of course , discharged . The expenses of those prosecutions , however , and the odium in w . ich they involved him , utterly ruined Mr . Preston and his farnilv , deprived him of his coniicetions in business , and " reduced him to earn subsistence , during the last thirty years of his life , at the miserable _occupation of a mere cobbler or mender ot old boots and shoes . . .
" After the Reform Act of 1832 Mr . Preston interfered but little in political affairs . He thenceforward sought to gather and provide the Iruits . ol reform . In the sedate quiet and vigour of his age he gave his mind and devoted bis energies to the concoction and promotion of a plan for rendering the working classes entirely self-supporting ; ior extinguishing pauperism and poor ' s-rates ; for paving off the national debt ; and , in other respects , for greatly advancing the public prosperity , this plan eventually brought him under the notice o Luke James Hansard , Esq ., Mr . John Robert
Taylor , and other philanthropists , and when brought forward bv Mr . Preston and Mr . Flexcu , at a public meeting held in August , 1849 , orig inated the public appointment ofa committee ofan association ot all classes ofthe people for the general amelioration ol the present condition of society . "Mr . Preston was interred in Bunbill _lueitis burying-ground , on the 10 th of June , _IboO . me working-classes honoured bim with a public funeral as a mark of their respect . Down to the very uioment of Mr . Preston ' s fatal attack ho had in _< ustviously worked for tho maintenance , of hirosclt ami his excellent wife . De expired after an illness oi only fourteen days .

Kossuth Aim>-Flls Fellow-Oaptives At Eut...
KOSSUTH AiM _> -flls FELLOW-OAPTIVES AT EUTAJAH .
Intelligence of a sinister character has been received from Kutajah , under date July . 26 , viz ., that _u _-f ° " Croatia employe , or rather brigand , Jasmagi , had arrived at that place . This is the same man Who , since the arrival of the Hungarian refugees in Turkey , is supposed to be engaged at Sohumlab , and _elsewhere , in various attempts at their assassination . His nefarious designs had attracted the attention ofthe Ottomau government , and strict orders were given tothe _nnthnritiMto have him
Closely watched . God knows in what all this is to end . Can it be expected that tho refugees , after having escaped the executioners of Austria should now escape her assassins ? Kutajah is so remote , iu the heart of Asia Minor , and for that very reason probabl y was selected by Austria as the place ot detention of the captives , in order that her conduct towards them might be free Irom any troublesome surveillance on the part of England . One fatal stroke ( and Austria wants neither the means nor the will to try it)—it would be unseen , unknown —and all is over .
ibe refugees are now treated with consideration and Kindness , whioh they attribute in a great measure to tho influence of England ; but Kutajah is a detestable place-the olimato is horrible , the oold , even in summer , is often severe . Kossuth is perpetually ill , his companions in captivity are so too , and more than a third ofthe whole number are confined to their beds . _What will be their condition when winter comes on . There are no means at _Kutajith of providing against the rigours of tho season , and the place affords neither good food , nor tolerable accommodation , nor comforts of any kind . It is , with these wretched victims of the vengeance of Austria , a question no longer of liberty out of lifo . IF their captivity be prolonged , if they be not speedily removed from where they now are , they are lost ; for even if they _esoape the poison and the dagger of Jasmagi and his band , they will perish by a still more terrible death , and fall victims to the climate wheve they aro so cruelly kept
prisoners . The Porte has kept its word . It promised to detain them a year ; there is nothing to fear on tbe part of the Austrian government—the dismissal of Haynau—the amnesties—attest it , Everything is quiet . Moreover , Kossuth and his companions have uo desire to remain in Turkey ; and tbe effeot of their being set at liberty would be to remove them still further from the frontiers of Hungary—which was tbe alleged motive of their detention . Ave there no means of causing all these reasons in their favour to prevail ? If , however , it _ib impossible that they should be restored to liberty , at least tbey mightbe permitted to leave Kutajah , and have assigned to them some place of captivity in a better climate , and at a less distance from Europe . Ah ! if Lord Palmerston chose , he would only have to
say the word ; and now it is no longer anything but a question of humanity—if Lord Palmerston chose to save their lives he might do it . The American papers publish the following letter from this exiled and imprisoned hero , to General _Oass _* . _*— " Kutajah ( AsiaMinor ) , May 25 , 1850 . " General , —It is already ten months that I have had the anguish of exile to endure . Nature bas man ' s mind witb wonderful elasticity endowed . It _yields to many changes of fate , and gets accustomed even to adversity . But to one thing the _patriots heart never learns to inure itself—tothe pangs of exile . "You remember yon patrician of Venice * who , when banished , feigned high treason , that he might at least from the scaffold , cast over the _Rialto a glance once more .
• ' This fond desire I can easily understand . I can so the more , because yon Venetian , though exiled , knew his fatherland to be happy and great ; but I , sir , carry the dolor of millions , the pains of _ji downtrodden country in ray wounded breast , without having even the sad consolation to think that it could not otherwise be . Oh ! had Divine Providence only from treason deigned me to preserve , I swear to Almighty God the threatening billows of despotism would have fallen like foam from the rock of my bravo people ' s breaBts . To have this firm conviction , sir , and instead of tho well deserved victory of freedom , to find oneself in exile , the fatherland in chains , is a profound sorrow , a nameless grief . " Neither have I the consolation to have found mitigations of this grief at the hospitable hearth of a great free people , tho contemplation of wbich , by the imposing view of freedom ' s wonderful powers , warms the despondont heart , ruaking . it in the destiny of mankind bolieve _.
" It is not a coward lamentation which makes me say all this , General , but tho lively sense of gratitude and thankful acknowledgments for your generous sympathy . I tvanted to sketch the darkness of my destiny , that you might feel what benefit must have heen to me your beam of light , by which you , from the capital of free America , have heightened my night . ; "Itwas inBroussa , General , that the notice of your imposing speech has reached mc ; in yonder Broussa _, where Hannibal bewailed his country ' s mischief , and foretold the fall of its oppressors . Hannibal , exiled like myself , but still unhappier , as he was accompanied in exile by the ingratitude of his people , but I by the love of mine .
"Yes , General , your powerful speech was not only the inspiration of sympathy for unmerited misfortunc , so natural to noble , feeling hearts—it was the revelation of thc justice of God—it was a leaf from the book of fate , unveiled to the world . On that day , General , you were sitting , in the name of mankind , in tribunal , passing judgment on despotism and the despots of the world ; and , as sure as the God of Justice lives , your verdict will be accomplished . " Shall I yet have my share in this great work , or not ? I do not know . Once almost an efficient instrument in the hands of Providence , lam now buried alive . . With humble heart will I accept the call to action , should I be deemed worthy of it , or submit to the doom of inactive sufferings , if it
must be so . But , be it one or the other , I know that your sentence will be fulfilled . I know tbat aged Europe , at the sun of Freedom ' s young America , will herself grow young again . I know that my people , who proved so worthy of liberty , will yet , notwithstanding their present degradation , weigh heavy in this balance of fate ; and 1 know that , as long as one Hungarian lives , your name , General , will be counted among the most cherished in my native land , as the distinguished man , who , a worthy interpreter of tho generous sentiments of the great American people , has , upon us poor Hungarians , the consolation bestowed of a confident hope ,. at a moment when Europe ' s decrepit politics seemed our Unmerited fate for over to seal . "Mav vou be nlcased . General , to accept the
roost fervent thanks of an honest friend of freedom . Let me hope that , should Mr . TJjhazy ( my oldest and best friend , and present representative in the United States , ) in the interest of the holy causo to which you have so generously your protection accorded , addresses himself to you for something which you might , in your wisdom , _}\ idge convenient and practicable , you will not withhold from us your powerful support ; and please to accept the assurance of my highest esteem and most peculiar veneration . "L . Kossuth , Anc . Governor of Hungary . " To tho honourable the Gen . Cass , 'Washington . " I hope you will excuse my bad English . I thought it my duty to address yon in your own language . "
Cimistias Clunoymen And Christian Chauit...
CimiSTIAS _CLUnOYMEN AND CHRISTIAN _CHAUITY . — The' Stamford Mercury states that when a Mrs . Wainer , of Melton Mowbray , who , it appears , has not led a very ' godly life , was on her death-bed , a few days since , she desired that some one should pray with'her . The curate was sent for , but he commenced a fierce tirade against her respecting her past life , and positively refused to pray with thc dying sinner . Wo presume it was because she was a sinner that he would not pray with her ! Some pious neighbours gave her the consolation which the clergyman refused . The woman died , and tlie clergymen of the place again took upon themselves to judge her ; for ono shut the gates of tlio churchyard entirely against her ; the other refused the corpse entrance into the church , though he read the
service over her . With reference to the above , our contemporary , the £ * raminer says : "We say nothing of shutting the church-doors . Thc rev . gentleman mi ght do with the body any unseemly thing lie pleased , or might think it decent to enact . But who is ' tins disguised among the ministers of Jesus , who dares refuse to pray besido a dying woman because she was a sinner ? Who is this ? Is it the Rev . W . Coles ,-of Melton Mowbray ? Tho Pharisees as Mr . Coles might do , objected to our Lord , that he had too much care for sinners . Only the Pharisees could not move Him to anger . Whether Mr . Coles beahigh ' churchmah ' ovalowehuvehman , wo know not . ' Most probably ho preaches Philpotts . But we know that ho ought not to be a teacher in tho church of Christ—he needs too greatly to he taught . "

., _.. _SCOTLAND _1 NJ 762 . . A case was lately tried in the Court of Common Pleas , as to tho succession to the property of one William Goodwin , who died intestate in London in 18 * 16 , leaving property worth two or three thousand pounds a-year . It appeared that about the year 1760 , _tyivid Goodwin , tho younger , married , and went to reside at Fort-George , in Scotland , and as evidence of the manners and condition of Scotland in those times , the following letter , written by Mrs . Goodwin , whose maiden name was Mary Morrison , to her relatives in England , and which were given in evidence , will not bo without interest ' , —
Fort-George , March 18 , 1702 . Dkab Cousins , —I hope this will find you and all our friends in good hoalth , as wc are at present , thank God for it . I am sorry I havo not wrote before , but expecting Mr . Goodwin to write _stopt my hand , but now would stay no longer ; but we have been very poorly with the severity of the weather . My poor Davey has been very bad with the stone ; and has had one taken from him by a poor woman about tlie size of a horse bean . We are very sorry for our _neighbours' misfortunes , especially Mrs . Gray for the loss of poor Polly , which wo Isuotv must ba a very great one . I hope the next news we hear , will be of your both beiug mnrried _, but not to Scotchmen , for you must live upon brounii _, ahd _bonakes , and _povage made o £ bean meal , what we call pollard , mixt thick with water , with a little cale cut in it ; go without stays , or shoes and stockings , and lay UDon straw beds , the best is but chaff , and sit at the
_spinmHg-whecl ; then you would make a good wife ; but if you live as English people live you must be very extravagaut That is ihe way they live go cheap here , and is called middling ' sort of people that lives well and keeps a servant ; and all pig together in ono room in dens like beasts ; and When they wash they tuck their petticoat round their waist , for they wear but one , and stand upon their clothes in the tub and tramp them , and all their backsides as bare as" ever they were born , by the sea-side ; and if they are going across a river , they tuck up in the same way , and take the men upon their backs , arid wade , through , for _thej are stronger than the men , When they lie in , they go abroad atthe week ' s end ; they never want no doctor , aud that waB the reason I ( Illegible ) got cold and was bad ; , and hero is no carriaires but little carts , with bars at

I suppose you ave so fashionable in London now you have got a Queen that I should notknotv anybody . I Bhould . be glad if you would scud me word how they wear their gowns , and caps , and bonnets . I wrote a letter to my mother the 27 th of January ; I hope she has received it . My little Dick grows a fine boy , and almost goes alone . I hope my aunt and little Betsy keep theiv health . Davey and Jemmy desire their duties to their aunt and love to _yourtulves ; and they talk about Frankey and Betty Gipson very , much , and often wish they could see them . I think 1 have emptied my budget pretty well , for it will tire you with reading it . Mr . Goodwin joins with me in duty to my mother and aunts , and love to yourselves and all friends .
• From your ever loving cousin till death , Makx Goodwin . It appeared that two of the sons of this David Goodwin , who lived at Fort-George , came up to Shadwell . The elder ofthe two , George Goodwin , became . a cooper , and amassed a considerable fortune in his trade . His younger brother , William , was apprenticed to him , aiid also set up business as a cooper , and made a considerable sum of money . George left his estate chiefly to William , and the other brothers , and their issue having become extinct , William became , as he himself said , -the last of his name and race , and died intestate in 1846 . The defendant then claimed thc property , as did the ? lavntiff . The two met to talk over thoir title 'lie plaintiffs ancestors , the alleged descendants of Joseph Goodwin , had been persons of low condition
of life , having been weavors in Bethnal Green . One side at this conference said , " How can you claim the property ? your name is not Goodwin . " The other said , " Why , how can you claim it ; your father was a weaver ? " and the present action was , therefore , brought to try the right . For the plaintiff , it was shown that several ofthe Bethnal Green Goodwin family were in the habit of calling on the Shadwell Goodwins , and that as " the poor Goodwins came in at the back door , the rich ones used generally to walk out at the front ; " as the learned counsel for the plaintiff said , they were not relatives to ho boasted of . It was also proved that one of the rich Goodwins had given £ 5 towards burying the
husband of one Sarah Greenaway , a member ofthe poor Goodwin family , which the learned counsel contended was not a mere charitable act , but one dictated by the feeling of relationship . The Lord Chief Justice very ably and clearly summed up all the facts , and left it to the jury to find—; first , whether David Goodwin had a son Joseph / and , secondly , whether tho plaintiff was descended from that son Joseph . These facts the plaintiff was bound to make out as a better title than the defendant ' s , before he could turn tho defendant out of possession ofthe property . The jury , after consulting together half-an-hour , found a verdict for the delendant .
Eiopkmests In Hion And Low L1fj3.—Two El...
Eiopkmests in Hion and Low L 1 FJ 3 . —Two elopements , in very different spheres of society , have taken place within the last few days . ' The particulars of the first are thus detailed by the Welshman : " Considerable excitement was occasioned at Slebech Hall , near Haverfordwest , the seat of tbe Baron de Itutzen , on the 20 th instant , owing to tho mysterious disappearance of the eldest daughter of the Baron and Baroness do _Rutzen . It appears that the young lady , who is not only highly accomplished , but is also possessed of rare personal charms , bad been accustomed for several days previously to leave home at an early hour in the moruing , for the ostensible purpose of _gathering mushrooms . On the morning in question she went out at the usual hour in her morning dress , and carrying a small basket
on her arm . She did not return . The servants were despatched in all directions in search of her , but without success and at length it was feared that sho had been accidentally drowned in one of the fish ponds near the mansion , and men were even set to drag them ; but fortunately , however , their efforts were fruitless . Matters continued to wear a most gloomy aspect until two o ' clock in the afternoon , when tho mystery was explained by the arrival of a mounted messenger , with a letter to the Baron from Richard Lort Philipps , Esq ., of East Hook , apprising him of his ( Mr . Philipp ' s ) marriage at St , Bride ' s Church that morning , to the missing fair one , and enclosing a certificate of the completion of the nuptial ceremony . It appears that Mr . Philipps had been for some time an ardent admirer
of Aliss de Rutzen , and that bis attentions were received propitiously by her , but for some reasons the parents of the lady did not favour his suit , although he was a frequent visitor at thc hall . The following is the way ia whioh tho affair was arranged and carried into effect : —Between six and seven o'clock on the morning ofthe 20 th ho took a chaise from the Mariner ' s Hotel , Haverfordwest , directing the driver to proceed as fast as he could to Cosbro ' Lodge , on tbe road to Hnrberth , about four miles from Haverfordwest . On arrival there he was desired to pull up , when Mr . Philipps alighted from the carriage , and immediately the lady , " faithful to her engagement , made her appearance from behind the hedge . Jn an instant sho was escorted to the carriage by Mr . Philipps , and away they proceeded
post hasto to St . Bride ' s Church , a distance of sixteen miles , where the happy pair were united by the Rev . William Bowen Harries . Thoy then left in tho _sitmo carriage en route for _Aliei-ystwith , relays of horses awaiting them at St . Catherine ' s Bridge and at New Inn , where the luggage of the fugitives had been forwarded , and the iady ' s future maid awaited their arrival . Mr . Philipps is much esteemed in Haverfordwest , and tho bells of St . Mary ' s Church celebrated his nuptials with many a merry peal throughout tho day . At East Hook great rejoicings took place , and nn ample repast was provided for the servants and labourers on the estate . The other case is perhaps more remarkable . A few days ago ( says tbo Carlisle Patriot Felix Lough , late of London , widower , who has a
family of three children , and now an inmate of Penrith Union workhouse , eloped to Gretna Green with Mary Jackson , widow , who has a family of four children , and also an inmate ofthe same workhouse . A few days previous to the elopement the parties gave notice-to Mr . Slee , tho master of the workhouse , that they intended to leave the workhouse , and accordingly they did so . How tbey raised tho wind is not known , but the fact is that they set off on foot upwards of thirty miles to Qretna , and on arriving there found that they had little or no cash to pay the officiating priest , who asked a sum twenty times more in amount than what they were possessed of , and persisted that ho would not marry them for a farthing less . However , Felix Lough , in a most melancholy-strain , explained that his « ifo
was dead ; that Mary Jackson ' s husband was also dead ; that they wero both paupers belonging to Penrith Union workhouse , and becoming quite convulsed , and letting flow a flood of tears over his wrinkled cheeks , in the most affecting manner exclaimed , "Fov goodness sake do marry us , for Mary Jackson was the first sweetheart that I ever had , aye , long before I was married to my first poor wife , but then sho would not have mo ; now she has consented to be my wife . O ! do marry us . " "Yes , yes , itis nil true , do wed us , " said Mary Jackson . Tlio priest was moved with compassion ; lie married them . Soon ivt ' _tevwavds tlw . y setoff on theiv return to Penrith on foot , and on thoir arrival there they were foot-sore and completely dished up , and not having a place where to lay their heads , they o ' en applied to Mr . Armstrong , the relieving officer ,
for an order into the workhouse again , who , according to tho present state of the poor law , was obliged to givo them an order , and now the new married couple , in accordance with the same law , are spending their honoymoon in tho workhouse , apart frpm each other .

The Peace Cokgre8s. The Special Train, W...
THE PEACE COKGRE 8 S . The special train , whioh with the great body of the peacemakers left London-bridge , on Monday tha I 9 th , arrived safe at Frankfort-on-the-Maino , on Thursday morning the 22 nd inst ., and the _Congress began business about half-past te » _, in St , Paul ' s Church , which was granted by the * authorities . The edifico was occupied by the German Parliament _, during the recent attempts to restore the German * unity and nationality . A copy of the following resolutions in three languages was handed to each , person as he entered the Paulskirche : — " 1 , The Congress of the friends of universalpeace assembled at Frankfort _* on-tho Maine , the 22 nd , 23 rd , and the 24 th of August , 1850 .
acknowledges that ' recourse to arms being condemned alike hy religion , morality , reason , and humanity , it is the duty of all men to adopt measures calcu * lated to abolish war * , ' and the Congress recommends all its members to _labonr in their respective countries , by means of a better education of youth , by the pulpit , the platform , and the press , _ub well as by other practical methods , to eradicate those hereditary hatreds and political and ebmmecial prejudices which have heen so generally the cause of disastrous wars . .... , „ " 2 . This Congress is of opinion thafc one of tho most effectual _mrwins of mesorv ' mg peace would be
for governments to refer to arbitration all those differences between them which cannot be otherwise amicably adjusted . " That the standing armaments with which the governments of Europe menace one another , impose intolerable burdens and inflict grievous moral and social evils upon tbeir respective communities ; this Congress cannot therefore too earnestly call the attention of governments to the necessity ot entering upon a system of international disarmament , without prejudice to such measures as may - be considered necessary for the maintenance of the security of the citizens and the internal tranquillity of each state .
U L This Congress reiterates its strong disapprobation of all foreign loans , negotiated for the purpose of furnishing to one people the means of slaughtering another . " 5 . This Congress acknowledges the principle of non-intervention , recognises it to be the sole right of every state to regulate its own affairs . " 6 . This Congress recommends all the friends of peace to prepare publio opinion in their respective countries for the convocation of a congress of tha representatives of the various states , with a viewto the formation of a code of international law . " The first proceeding of the meeting was the election of a president and vice-president , who took their places on tho throne surmounted by the Dark Eagle . The former was Pr . Jaup , of Darmstadt , a venerable looking country parson sort of
gentleman . The first two resolutions occupied the attention of the meeting on the first day , and were of course carried unanimously . The chief speakers were the Rev . J . Burnet , M . _Emilie Girardin , M . Bonnet ( tho pastor ef the French Protestant churoh afc Frankfort ) , and Mr . Cobden . The Englishmen came with the advantage of a language more familiar to them than to tho rest of the audience , and they turned their advantage to the best account . Mr . Burnet is one of these _half-facetiouB _oratora who can always season a sentiment with a joke , and the moral or religious " wag" is ever a favourite with pious assemblies . His argument against tho employment of weapons was based c _
the fact that man 13 born without tusks or clawB . Tigers , " quoth the Rev . Mr . Burnet , - "have claws ; therefore they were made to fight . Men were made with none , therefore they are bound to keep the peace . " Waistcoats and pantaloons might have been abolished by the same course of reasoning ; but , nevertheless , thc sophism took amazingly and was applauded to the echo . After the more jolly Caledonian , the French pastor , who went logically through the categories of religion , morality , reason , and humanity , and brought in allusions to the Redeemer as the preacher of peace , in a tone of Gallican fervour strongly distinguished from English pietism , came in somewhat lugubriously . Sentiments much the same as his own were much more popularly expressed by Mr .
Richard Garnett , a negro orator , who ascended the tribunal with all the advantages of his sable hue . The appearance in' the tribune of M . Emile Girardin was the signal for loud acclamations on the part of the French auditors . He was the representative of France par excellence , and his distingwe appearenco contrasted strangely with the primative look of many of his fellow ortaors . His speech wan equally different from those of his predecessors . Biblical allusions were not in his way , but he cams in as a _propotmder of philosophical abstractions , which he pointed off with French epigrammatic neatness . The idea of unite was to be carried out—• unite in everything ; and every time he said the word unite it was with remarkable gusto . Then _hfl
got into universal history , and , declaring that certain conquerors of the old world were named Alex * ander , Cajsar , and Napoleon , added that the victors of tho new world were named Watt , Wilberforce , & c . Civilisation was the great gain of modern Europe , and typo and steam are now to do what was done heretofore by fire and sword . All this , delivered with an uniform stylo of gesticulation peculiarly his own , told with great forco ; and he could retire with all the satisfaction of a brilliant Frenchman who had exhibited son talent . But , after all , the great card of the performance was the speech of Mr . Cobden which came in towards the conclusion . The President after the passing of the first resolution , which occurred about one
o ' clock , allowed the parties assembled to retire for ten minutes , and many thus retiring never cams back again . Hence considerably more empty _seata were visible in the afternoon than in the morning ; and two or three orators which opened the second act , and included another speech by Girardin , a very long history of William Penn , digested into an address from the Pennsylvanian Peace Society , were by no means of such a nature as to diffuse anima _. tion . But Cobden ' s speech set all right . It was a bold , slashing address , not marked throughout by good taste , but abounding in arguments and illustrations which everybody could understand . In calling attention to the second resolution , he said , that he did not wish to interfere with the work of
the diplomatists , but merely insisted on the adop tion ofan international umpire when other peaceful means should fail , protesting against war as a nuisance whicb every people had a right to stop in defiance ofthe existing governments . If no better peaceable plan could be found the governments wero bound to adopt th » _$ proposed by the Peace Congress ; and if any government refused to adopt a plan of arbitration tho people should _repudiatg that government . This was pretty strong language , and tho vehemence of tone and gesture with which it was uttered stood out . in strong ¦ relief against the epigrammatic manner and jerking action of M .
liiiule Girardin . An allusion to the presence at tho meeting of Gmoral . Haynau , as an evidence that even tho warriors themselves had become averse from their profession—though this was in the worst possiblo tasto—brought tho whole oration to a showy conclusion . The second resolution was carried immediately afterwards , and the meeting was adjourned till Friday , tho audience being kindly reminded of the dinner , which has been prepared for them at the Main-lust . Victor Hugo was to havo 6 een one ofthe spokesmen on this occasion , but a letter stating his illness , as well as his zeal for tho cause , was received as a , substitute .
Friday , August 23 . The second meeting went off on the whole mora briskly than the first . Tho Paulskirche , still not full , was better _attomletl ; tho dry business of de _« daring what states were represented , and who represented them , had been got over , and somo of the best men had evidently come in with the rcso « lution of giving full play to their eloquence . The business of tho assembly was confined to tha second and third resolutions on the list . Tho resolution concerning the standing _armaments was tho grand . affair , and occupied nearly the whole ofthe time before aud after the noon interval . The other was disposed of with little or na expenditure of _ovrrtovy .
Mr . _Ilindley , of Oldham , was one of the conspicuous speakers to-day , and his speech , while with out merit , was rather calculated to put tbo whola matter in a ridiculous point of view .

Ilimlley dwelt on the word tool , and worked it backward and forward ag much a M . Girardin worked the word " unite . "

He laid it down as hia fundamental proposition that a standing army ii tho cause of war , and carried on bis reasoning with a precision so great that it might almost bo called pedantic , His views were rather economical thaii moral or religious , and ho dwelt much on the Joss off labour consequent on the emp loyment of men ag _soldior - .
