<E» Hungary Is Avenged In England. Nothi...
< e » Hungary is avenged in England . Nothing can be more consolatory than the outburst of longlatent but hearty right feeling which the presence of Kossuth has ai'oused among us . We seem to feel the throbs of the great spirit which shook the despotic thrones of Europe two centuries ago . The welcome to Kossuth is a nobler vengeance than the assault upon Haynau . High feelings , high convictions , high motives of ' ^ K / JS / BSSS ^ and answered . & W Monday ittiojflwi ^ iiw bitterest opponents among the morning journals were forced to admit , at least , his ability . The Winchester speech is a masterpiece . Even Mr . Cobdeti stepped a leetle beyond the frigid boundaries of his nonintervention theory ; clearly showing that , unless Baid non-intervention were perfectly carried but by all states , intervention , by protest or otherwise , was unavoidable on our part . Kossuth also spoke at Southampton , on Tiiesdaj ' , and at the London Guildhall , on Thursday . The Southampton banquet is not noticeable bo much' for what he said , as for what his presence prompted others to say . The Honourable Mr . Walker emphatically promised succour from tlie Giant of the West , as Mr . Croskey , at Winchester , had intimated that the States might intervene in Europe . Very encouraging signs , these . And , as if to show how far and wide is spread this idea of a defensive and offensive alliance between England and America , we have had Sir Henry Bulwer , Minister from England to the United States , coupling the Red ^ roHn and the Stripes and Stars as the banners of liberty in the coming War of Opinion . Ominous words these . With what temper London is disposed to meet Kossuth the Absolutists have now "ad a taste : they will have ample evidence next week , when the Trades bodies and the Central J'orntnittee meet Kossuth in Copenhagen-fields . A P R reSH on Thursday , from Uaton-place to " »« Guildhall was a triumphal march : spontaneous , crowds—spontaneous cheers—real , piercing , ir" « ng , generouH llritiuh cheers , greeted him long the whole r out <\ In tho City , positive wocking up of t j lc waVj mu \ an enthusiastic impro mptu procession . The great hall , beneath vnose roof have rung the voices of Hampden and £ » ot , and l » an ( j Martin , and Iroton and ror nwell , the stronghold of municipal liberty two * - « nmnes ago , also y ibrated with the sympathising vices of a trading aristocracy , made broadly human « V « great cause and a great occasion . So it will be [ Country UwtionJ
fi in Birmingham , and Sheffield , and Manchester , and Liverpool—wherever Kossuth , who for the moment symbolizes continental freedom , sets his foot or raises his voice ; and when he reaches America he is promised a welcome second only to the triumphal march of Lafayette from Texas to Maine , from New York to the Rocky Mountains . By the bye , we observe a semi-pirouette on the part of the organ of the Foreign-office : the Post actually defending Kossuth from the Times ! What will . Russia say ? Lord Palmerston is evidently trying the old . diplomat ^ d ^ Jstftj- tkie nea # . best l ^^^^ iM ^^^^^ WKK ^ BB ^ ST ^^ S ^ ffW HPKEksS ^ P -CJatini , ; who comes hot from Madrid , the capital of that delectable country whose ruiers Iflave just published a singular concordat with the Pope . Is not Carini a fitting Minister to the Durham-Letter Cabinet , the heroes of the war of the Papal Aggression ? Lord Palmerston ' s political geography is perfectly astounding . When he wanted to rectify abuses at Naples he sent a copy of Mr . Gladstone ' s pamphlet to Frankfort ; and now he has just invited France and Russia to help him in putting down brigandage in Greece ; he being familiarly acquainted with the names of all the Greek brigands , and handing in a list thereof . Is he chief of the bands ? Henceforth , in political geography , read : —Naplescapital , Frankfort ; Greece—capitals , St . Petersburg and Paris ! As he is anxious to entrap Kossuth . and champion Hungary , could he not invite the King of Timbuctooo to unite with him in a " vigorous protest" ? A modification of the Whig Ministry , however slight , creates a host of rumours—not of coup d ' otats , in , England , but of coalitions . Mr . Benjamin Ilawes , the hero of a hundred scandals , . has resigned his post as Under-Secretory for tho Colonies , and Mr . Frederick Peel , nn untried but promising young statesman , takes his place . Mr . Peel has been blamed by some for taking office under the Whigs ; and others have looked upon his accession as evidence of a coalition to carry the now Reform Hill . Tho real secret , wo imagine , is , that " Young Peel" is anxious to put to use the legacy left him by his great father—the precept to practise himself in public allairs . Peel himself accepted a minor stool in the Castlereagh Ministry , and surely " Young Peel" may take a post in the ltuaaell Cabinet . Mr . Benjamin Huwes retires really into a snug corner in the War-office , vice Honourable Lawrence Sullivan , who convenientl y feels disposed to enjoy private life , and . a comfortable pension ,
Meanwhile the Reform question comes up , and week by week symptoms are displayed of a popular movement . Mr . W . J . Fox has stirred up the People of Bury , and rendered a balancesheet of the session to expectant Oldham ; while Mr . John Hough ton and Mr . Charles Lattimore , tenant-farmer Reformers , have been working the Liberal interest in the Russell-ridden town of Bedford . The most significant fact is , that Manchester has constituted itself the head-quarters for a conference , to be held in December , of Lancashire and Yorkshire Liberals , wfoereat those W * ^^^^^^ ^ ^^^ MK ^^ m ^^ J : SW ' ' ^ ^^^^^ ^ fP ^ . ^|^| r 4 . ta- ^ f ^^ s 4 ( M ^ W »^ $ ^ >' ' r AV < r * wa ^ " public will only jaugh at any pretended agitation to support Lord John , or divert people from real reform . Meanwhile , a streak of the light of socialism falls gently down upon the aristocratic Literary Institution of High gate , where Mr . Harry Chester speaks favourably of an extension of the law of partnership , for the sake of working-men's associations ; and Lord Shafteshury would conjure some haunting presentiment of a coming revolution , by decided measures of social reform . We chronicle elsewhere the predications of two considerable authorities on education . Archdeacon Denison endeavours to . prove that a rate for secular education would be unjust , and a national scheme impossible . Unjust , because there is no analogy between an education rate and a rate for pavingstones . We may put aside a minority against clean ways , but not against secular instruction . Clean boots hurt no man ' s conscience ; but somehow teaching the Rule of Three , without at the same time inculcating the doctrine of the Trinity , violates the consciences of men ! While Archdeacon Denison so triumphantly disposes of his secular opponents , Dr . Wilberforce informs the clergy that it is ton late to decide ; whether the People of England shall be educated or not—for the People have decided that for themselves ; all that is left for the clergy to settle is , what bold they can cot over the training of the rising generation . Rather striking facts ! At length u new Ministry in France ! But what a Ministry ! All new men , or fourth—no , tenthrate men . Shouis of laughter all over Paris ; endless jokes and sneers from Royalist and Republican ; but a deal of vexation and concentrated haired at ' the bottom of it all . Only one man who takes a really Bensiblc view of the crisis—Kmilc de Grirardin , ever practical . He will accept the Ministry , take it at its word , help it as long ns it in true to Us professed » im , total repeal of tfw Jwy-
