Tales And Traditions Of Hungary. B Y Fra...
Tales and Traditions of Hungary . B y Frajjcis and Theresa Poiszet . Three wis . Colburn , London . Gen'GIXE national tales possess a peculiar charm for all classes of readers . They contain , as the writers state in the introduction to these volumes , the elements of poetry without the poetical art They embody the feelings and superstitions of the peop le , their homely
irisuoui , their shrewd observation , and their vague longings after the ideal , in a dramatic and attractive form . The tales collected by 31 . Pulszty possess this genuine character to a rem arkable degree , and they hare not been spoiled by the art ofthe litterateur . Some of them throw a good deal of light on the recent state of Hungary . As , for instance , the following from a species of essay on the "Outlaws of Hungary" : —
Dorse and cattle stealing is a propensity con pected with the ancient nomadic life of the nation . A handsome horse or a stately bull on the great phin often so powerfully tempts the Hungarian pjisant that he can hardly resist the desire to possess it . About twenty years ago , Mr . Borbely , a wealthy nan , was noted in the country for his eccentricities . He was fond of meddling in the county elections , and once rode from the county of Szabolos with two hundred peasant nobles to an election in the county of Beregb , where his companions bad the right of suffrage . Arrived at the frontiers of the county , on the borders ofthe Tisza , he stopped , and
sad"My noble brethren ! [ The peasant noblesfreeholders—are always addressed by the higher classes of nobility with the words ' noble brethren . ' ] We are proceeding to a constitutional solemnity in Beregb ; we are to exercise there the greatest privilege of nobility , the right to elect arepresentative for the Diet ; and we most be mindful to behave in j manner becoming our station . We shall see there many horses , many oxen—handsome oxen . Let , therefore , every one of ns well consult his conscience , and closely examine whether he is able to resist temptation : 11 is yet time . Whosoever does not feci himself strong enough to subdue any
inclination to weakness , may step forth and return . We stand uow on the boundary , but as soon as we have crossed the Tisza we are in the neighbour-county ; and it would bo a cmel shame if fewer of us were to return than have set out , and if several of our number should remain in the county-house , not upstairs in the great county-hall as guests , bat below in the gaol , shut up as thieves . Consider , noble brethren , aud decide /' It was a picturesque sight . Borbely in red attire , cut in the peasant ' s fashion , With the drawn Etrord iu his band , rode on a roan horse ; a white feather Sowed on his broadly-brimmed black felt hat . Around him were assembled two hundred peasants
cf Szabolos , all adorned with similar white feathers , tbeir party sign ; and in their rear halted forty cars , from which they had descended to approach their leader and listen to his discourse . When he Lad ended , they thunderingly cheered him ; but tiro of them left the ranks , aud declared they demoted whether they could resist temptation , and therefore preferred to return . Borbely loudly praised their conscientiousness , gavee . ich f them ten shillings for his journey back , and led his other virtuous heroes over the Tisza . His speech bad the wished-for results , as his noble brethren decided the election without getting into any collishe with the county justice of Beregb ,
Madame Polsiky tontrihntes a tale-called "The Jacobins in Hungary , * ' which is rather a political novel than a "tale or tradition / 1 and is founded on a plot -which was discovered and punished towards the close of the last century . Though originating in the rights of man , as propounded in France by the Girondists , or Terrorists , the leaders ofthe conspiracy do rot seem to have contemplated more than ' . ' . progressive reform '' by " moral force , " though it is possible that some of the members mi g ht go further . However , several of the parties were executed , and others imprisoned for various periods , apparently for " opinions , * ' for there is no proof of the alleged cons piracy having ripened iato action .
Madame Ifnlszky satirically illustrates the mode in which Austrian officers get up "informations * ' ouencbV subjects , and ofthe sense of justice entertained by these infamous caterers for an infamous despotism , in the following extract Ilia is a stupid serb , who acts as c opying clerk to the head ofthe plot :- — It had grown dark during this conversation , and a young man , in a simple Hungarian garb , ( it was the Jurat ] opened the door , bearing two tapers , which he put on the mantlepiece , saying—. " Bomitie Magnifice , the clerk of the Abbot Marhnoriteh is her « 7 and requests to speak to you , who are the Fiscal of the Emperor , as he says /' "Admit him , " The Jurat went out , and Ilia entered the room * tth an embarrassed mien .
" Have I the honour to address the Fiscal of tho « np » ror . " "W said Seme * . . " Then I wish an interview mbhoub witnesses , on a most important matter . " " Mr .

" It is a terrible conspiracy ; and I hope that I shall get a reward for my discovery , which I have made front pure attachment for the Emperor , because I am a faithful subject- of the Emperor , an honest Serb . And the gentlemen then said th . t they feared no one ; since they would liberate the Frenchmen from the New Building , and would set on fire the piles of wood in the wood-place . " . •• • Xemet caught up the word , and proceeded with his docuuieat . . .
" The intention of the conspirators is to set on fire the city of Pesth , and seize the moment to liberate and arm the French prisoners of war ; . with them to plunder the capital , murder the peaceable citizens , and complete their wicked schemes on the ruin of the countrv . They . are in treacherous connexion with the monsters who now usurp tho gorernraent of France , and are provided with money from this quarter . Jlavelwell understood what you-wished to express ? " again inquired Ate Kemet of Ilia . : ' - '' ¦
" Perfectly , " replied the Serb . " Money is necessary to carry out such a plan ; and whence should they have money " -if not from France , as my master always pretends that he has none ? It is as your Honour savs , hut I cannot express it so well . " " . " ,- ¦ ¦ ¦ - " Observe , Fekete , how impartially I act , " began anew the Attornev of the Crown . " Before I had ascertained the ami of the conspiracy , I would not even inquire into the names of the criminals . But who are the members of the conspiracy ? " he now asked the clerk .
It must have been some such vertlCIOHS informants , vho set Lord Lyndhurst and Mr . Wortley on the hunt for " mare ' s nests" in this country ,. and invented an association , of which General Klapka .-. was . the head , the whole thing being a pure invention . We are pained to see'Englishmen of'any rank giving ear to the fabrications of the spies in the pay of the brigand despots , whose interest it is to slander and mis-represent the patriots of all countries .
Voices Of Freedom And Lyrics Of Love. By...
Voices of Freedom and Lyrics of Love . By T . GERALD AlAsSEr , Working man . London ; « T . Watson . ¦• .-- .--It is seldom , indeed , that a first appearance in print exhibits bo many undoubted proofs of the possession of genuine poetic powers as the little work before us . It is true that the range of reading , observation , and experience , indicated by the subjects , is bounded by narrow limits : but within them the author exhibits
g reat force of perception , accompanied by an equal power of delineation . Had such poetry appeared from the pen of a " Working Man , " even twenty years ago , it would have produced a general sensation in the country . As it is now , it must be taken as another and striking proof of the sore and continuous mental elevation of the masses—another added to the long list of g lorious names which alread y shed lustre over the labouring classes , from the ploughman , ; l . ¦ ' .
" Who walked m glory and in joy , Along the mountain side , " to Koberfc Kicoll , the grocer ' s lad , and Critch-Jey Trincc , the cotton-spinner . If- Gerald Massey cannot be ranked with the first , he may yet aspire , by due cultivation of his unquestionable genius , to take hia place beside the latter . The work is pithily and " truly described in its title . Liberty and Love ; old , but ever new- themes to tbe young and enthusiastic , constitute the twin subjects of these " Lyrics , "
as they have constituted the . songs of bards in all past ages . Mr . Massey's "Voices" are , of course , those of the age he lives in , and reflect , at least , one phase of modern thought , andreveal in what direction the aspirations of one section of the people tend . While admiring the force , fervour , and nervous diction of many of these pieces , however , we must express our regret that the poet is so uniformly warlike in tone and purpose . Time and experience , we trust , will render him more catholic and tolerant , and , in
proportion as his sympathies expand , his writings will partake more of that special characteristic of the highest and purest poetry , its all-embracing charity and universality . At present our " Working Man" is a partisan— -a powerful , enthusiastic , high toned exponent -of the peculiar views which appear to him to betruth , but lacking that comprehensiveness necessary to tbe character of the perfect poet . We prefer Mr . Massey's "Ly rics of Love" te his " Voices of Freedom . " In them the true spirit of poetry finds utterance in language not inferior ia force and felicity to ths-se of many ofthe mightiest names on the roll of fame . Here , for instance , is a sound moral entwined with that strong love for , and delicate perception of , beauty , which are instincts of the true poet : —
I WAS SOT MADE MERELY FOR MOXEf-MAKISG : Coining the heart , brain , and sinew , to gold , Till we sink in the dark , on the pauper ' s dole , " Feeling for ever , the flowerless mould , Growing about the uncrowned soul ! Ob , God I oh , God ! must this evermore be , Tbe lot of the Children of Poverty ? The Spring is calling from brae and bower , In the twinkling sheen of the sunny hour , Earth smiles in her golden green ; There's music below , in the diamonded leaves , There ' s music above , and heaven ' s blue bosom heaves .
The silvery clouds between , The boughs of the woodland are nodding in pfefi . And wooingly beckon my spirit away— <¦ I hear the dreamy bum Of bees in the lime-tree , and birds on the spray , And they , too , are calling my thinking away ; Bus I cannot—cannot come . Tisions of verdant and heart-codling places , ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ Will steal on my soul like a golden spring-rain , Bringiflgthe lost light of brave , vanishtfaces ; Till memory blossoms with beauty again . But 0 , for a giimpse of the flower-laden morning , That makes the heart leap up , and knock at heaven ' s door ; " ¦ ,, '" .. O , for the green . lane , the green field , the green wood , To take ia by heartsfall their greenness once
more ; How I yearn to lie down in the cowslip-starred meadows , Andnestlein leaves , and the sleep of tbe shadows , - . Where violets , in beauty are waking . ; There , let my soul burst from its cavern of clay , To float down the warm spring , a way and' away : For I was not made merely for money-making ; At my wearisome task I oftentimes turn ,:. : . From my bride , and my mOniWCSS , Duty , Forgetting the strife , and the wrestle of life . To talk with the spirit of Beauty .
The multitude ' s hum , and the chinking of gold , Grow hush as the dying of day ; " For on winirs of rapture , with joy untold , Mv heart ' is ap , and away 1 - Glad as the bird in the tree-top chanting , It ' s anthem of Liberty ; ' r '•; .: With its heart in its musical gratitude panting , . And 0 , 'tis a bibs to be . < Once more to drink in the balm-breathtng air , ¦ Lipt in Insurious flowers— . - : , To wal ' wwi , ihe pleasure * that were Id Ir . fcnciv ' d innocent hours .

Idy soul leans out , to tho whispering Of the mighty , the marvellous spirits of old ; And heaven-ward leapeth to flap her proud wings , When Labour relapseth its earthly hold ; And breathless with aweful beauty—it listens , To catch the nights deep , starry mystery ; Or in mine eyes , dissolved , glistens , Big , for the moan of Humanity .. Much that is written within its chamber ,
Much that is shnned , in the mind ' s living amber , Much of this thought of mine . « - ^ I fain would struggle , and give to birth , For I . would not pass away from earth , And make no sign ! I yearn . to utter , what might live on , Iu the world ' sheart , when I am ' gone / I would not plod ou , like these slaves of gold , Who shut up their souls in a dusky cave , I would see tlie world better , and u ' ouler-sbulcd ,
Ere I dreaai of ticavea inmygreeu , turt-graVC , I may toil till ' mylife U filled with . dreariness , .

We congratulate the . author , on so worthy an entrance into the lists . In pointing out what we consider the . natural defects of his first work , it is in no unkindly spirit ,: but the contrary . We recognise in . his poetry the ring of the true metal , and wo are anxious that , in future , he should so train and direct the noble gifts he possesses , asthat they may exercise influence commensurate with their
precious nature , and his own earnest ; sympathies Avith right . - ' . We shall . take the . liberty of occasionally drawing on Mr .

The Last War And Definitive Peace Of Eur...
The Last War and Definitive Peace of Europe . By Victob Coksidebani . London : J . Watson . Three Letters .. . on Direct Legislation by the Peop le , or True Democracy . By M . Rir-TixGHAUSEir . London : J . Watson . ..... . . .. Both the writers of these pamphlets are exlegislators , and , we believe , exiles for the sake of their political faith . M . Considerant was one of the representatives for Paris , in the Nittionul Assembly , previous to the affair of June , 1849 , which sent , among others !
Ledru Itolliu to our shores . ¦ M . ' Bittinghausen was a member of the National Assembl y atFraukfort . The object of M . Considerant is , - to point out the logical sequence of the fact that " all men are brethren , f-in the necessity that , in future , all nations must be fraternally united . The order established by the reactionary' party fights against God and Humanity—against the eternal laws of the universe . It * can . onl y be sustained by huge armies , ataruinous expense ; and is
essentially a system of self-destruction . True order , with liberty , * is to be found alone in the anion of nations , according to the ethnograp hical affinities in the establishment of free institutions , and in the . mutual exchange of industry , wealth , and intelligence between nations . The pamphlet , is written with all that felicity of diction and logical precision which distinguishes French political , writers , and opeus-up glimpses of a new state of society , such as might be expected fromthepen of so distinguished a disciple of Charles Fourier .
M . Hittinghausen propounds an entirely new idea . Instead of the Democrats of Europe seeking for an ^ enlargement or -extension of representative institutions , he contends they ought to be totally destroyed . In his opinion , they foisn " the angular stone , the permanent source -ef the reign of the bourgeoisie ; " and , certainhy his examples , backed by indubitable facts , leave " Representative Government " in a very forlorn condition . True Democracy , according to H . Kittinghausen , would dispense with ail the . roundabout machinery of elections
and delegations , and enable the people te make their-ow & laws . He proposes to divide the population into sections-of a thousandextizens each—each section to meet simultaneously , for the discussion and the afemation of the principle of any new law ; and by a simple process , the opinion -of . the nation , -thus ascertained , is to be reduced to words , asd have the force of law , decreed b y the Sovereign People . There is much in the pamphlet that deserves thoughtful consideration from all true Democrats .

HAYMARKET THEATRE . " .. There is great merit in Mr . J . W . WalJack ' s performance of Ctoude-Melnotte , in Sir E . B . Lytton ' s popular play oi The Lady of Lyons . - The first entrance , when . be has just gained the prize , is well marked by youthful ' entbusiasm , and all the scenes where the gallant nature ofthe peasant is exhibited , are given with great power : Thus the fourth act ; j * n which lie defends Patiliaeagainst Beanseant , and then resigns her to her parents ; is his culminating point , ' and the force displayed here earned him the honour of a special call ou Saturday . On the other band , bis scenes of tenderness are much inferior to tie rest . Indeed , the particular tone of voice with which he would deoiet the softer emotiens . is tbe ' peeulifi'rity of
which he should most endeavour to get rid . In the character of Pauline , Miss Laura Addison evinced much purpose and intelligence . '* The last act , in particular , where she resigns herself to the hateful ; marr risae to ' sure her father from ruin , contains touches which may fairly be called beautiful . There is abundance of good natural material in Mks Addison , and she has ,: moreover , the merit of following n < v prescribed routine , butof thinking for her ^ Jf- The one fault , which mars so much that , is otherwise praiseworthy , may be expressed by the word " suddenness .

Their second act was the appointment of Lord Mtenbprough , a political judge , to be one of tho Cabinet Ministers—an-act
still moreBnconsutatienal than the , former ; as in one character he might proiopt the prosecution of him upon wfeora , in another , he might sit in judgment . Tho third act was to raise the income tax , already mostodious , from six and a quarter to ten per cent . ; aUhoiigb , when out of place , they reprobated the measure in the strongest Jangu .-ige . ~ Mr . Tierney , one of their leaders , having declared , in his place in Parliament , that the measure , ' when first proposed by Pitt , was so unconstitutional and inquisitorial , that tho people . of England would be justified in taking up arms to . resist the collection of it > Their fourth act was the exemption of the King ' s property , amounting at that time to two millions of money in the funds , from the operation this
of , act , - whilst it . fell iri full force against the widow and the orphan of £ 50 a year . Their fifth act was to raise tlie salaries ofthe youngo 1- branches of the Royal Family , the . males , from £ 12 , 000 to £ 18 , 000 a year ; the females from £ 6 , 000 to £ 10 , 000 a . year , and the Civil Li « t from eight hundred thousand pounds to one million . Their sixth act was to double all their own salaries , and raise those of all the Officers of . State , Judges , iand every one connected with the government ,, under the plea of the high price of provisions , arid all the necessary articles of life ^ -oo one in that unrefbriried house having either the courage or the honesty- to remind them that these immense sunis were to corno out of the pockets ofthe , suffering-people ., who were navina
the : very , same price for tbeir necessaries ; nor has any man , from that hour to this , notwithstanding the dreadfully increased sufferings ofthe people , ever moved for their reduction . Their seventh was to bring a bill into parliament to send excise officers iato eyary private family in the kingdom , by layine : a tax on private broweries-that is , on all those who brew their own beer .

The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Dail y-News : — Sir , —In Lord Lyndhurst ' s speech , delivered ill the House of Lords on . the 27 th of . March , there is a passage running as' follows •— : •;¦ . But this is not all . I have a case still more . striking to bring under the consideration and attention of government . ^ There is another central committee , i ' n this . city ~ whero ; the , branches meet I know hot—who style ; themselves , the Central Committee of Hungarian / -Refugees . ' .- . . One . . of the leading members of . this committee is General Klapka , an officer who served in tlie utauri'cctioiuivy . wtw , in Hungary , and . who . commanded' the . ' fortross ; of Couioi-n at , the closti of that ' -wav ; . Your . lordships
are aware that a largo body of Hungarians were driven , from Austria into . 'Itaiy ,. and Vere incorporated into the . Austrian army in Lombardy .. Avdting themselves of this objectj this committee have lately issued a proclamation , addressed to those Hungarians , and couched in language of a most inflammatory-character ; and containing topics also of a . most inflammatory and exciting description , calling upon them to desert their ivmks , . pointing out to them bow they . could ; do this most effectually and most destructively to Austria , . instructing them bow to act in the' event of a war , what signals would bemado , and what co-operation they would receive . -This proclamation is signed by tho individual to whom I have referred , General Klapka ; and a . more flagrant Violation of the protection afforded to a refugee I cautibt conceive , ' " '
Although ' - 'I formerly . disdained- refuting orfcain misrepresentations made by M . von Manteufffl in one of thePrtissian chambers , who was ' pleased-to transpose me to .

Nobody who knows ray character will think roe capable of an advice calculated ,- under , the present circumstances , to ' sacrificearid deliver those unfortunates to ruin and still greater misery . I declare any proclamation of the kind , if there be any , as altogether false ,. or trumped up , perhaps , by the agents of the Austrian . police ., Lord Lyndhurst ' s remarks , therefore , rest upon mere fictions , and it-is only a wonder that the noble lord should have forgotten his mission aiid high situatiouy . whicU . ought to have preferred him from becoming a tool for ihe intrigues of , the Austrian police . , 1 ; leave to the
English people to aprireciate . his lordship's . disavowal of their own history and principles , which some centuries . ajj ' o laid . the foundation' ©! their present greatness and glory .

Polish And Hungarian Refuqees In; Liverp...
POLISH AND HUNGARIAN REFUQEES IN ; LIVERPOOL . A hi ghly respectable Central Committee has been formed in Liverpool , ia order tQ assist the Refugees in gaining emp loyment , and also to help their friends in ; supporting them till they shall be able to maintain tliemseJvesr ~ ThisTBommilitee ; has just issued the subjoined address : — .......
TO THE ASSOCIATED ' TRADES AND OTHERS OF THE WORKING CLASSES , . Citizens and Fellow Workmen , —You are , no doubt , aware that a large number . of men known as the Polish and . Hungarian JJq ^ ioees ;' . who were engaged in tlie late unsuccessful struggle , in / attempting-tbe-independence'of Hungary , have . been recently cast as exiles upon our shores , ! and are ai this moment . in Ljvperppol in a most helpless and destitute condition—the reward of . an Heroism and virtuous Patriotism in struggling . for right against might , which will . throw an halo of glory around them and their country as loiiir as noble deeds mid noble aspirations form any paction of the progressive history of the ' woHd . . : 1 ,
Ftllow workmen , we now appeal-to you on be . half of . these noble minded and chivalrous men—lot us not . forget that ' we . ovfe them a debt of gratitude which our best exertions can never fully repay—they hive sacrificed fortune , liberty , home and friendsin vindication of those great principles " of Constilutional Liberty , so dear to the homes and hearts oi Englishmen . Without ; however , entering into all the mimitia of their noble and godlike ' effort ' s , or paining you with a recital of tbeir numerous sufferings wrongs and-oppressions , or dwelling as wc could do , on the noble and patriotic daring they
have . exhihitftd in the cause of . their country . s freedom , and the indomitable-resistance they have made against , the horde of Continental Despot ^ leagued against them—suffice to say , they are placed at this moment in the most painful and huoiiHtaung position in which / it is possible to conceive a set . of high and noble-minded men like these to'be placed' in ; and who even now , > urrpunded with all ' the horrors of destitution and exile , fervently pray they may yet be spared to" strike another blow , in behalf of their own Fatherland , and the enfranchisement of humankind .
Fellow Workmen , in this respect and on behalf of this object you are now called . Upon ! to sympathise . ; Remember , these men without any undue or improper influence being exercised towards th . m , have expressed the most unequivocal desire to remain in this country ,: there are' parties who desire they should expatriate themselves .- The future destiny and their future services towards their country are . now , therefore , placed in your . hands . If you believe they have aimed at objects of which you approve , and vindicated ptiuciplea which you consider just and good , identify yourselves at once in feeling and sympathy with them ; enable them , if they desire it , to become fellow citizsns with you . Let . them have employment wherever it can be
obtained for them : above all , prevent them , if possible , from surrendering , through the coercion of starvation , those high and lofty . sentiments which prompted , their late glorious struggle , in behalf of their country . Bear in mind also ; fellow workmen , that these noble-minded men do not desire to live on yqur'hospitality their only hope is to obtain their subsistence by vheir own exertions in any houonrable employmfint . that , may offer itself . Many uf them belong essentially and truly to the working classes .: amongst them are joiners , smiths , cabinet makers , fallow chandlers , and other' trades , all animated alike by / the desire to relieve themselves from . the painfni . and to them degrading , position in which an odious , ' unrelenting and usurping des potisiri has plac « d ' tiiera . . .
iFellow Workmen 1 A mighty spirit is now abroad in'the earib overturning the pillars of despotism , and lposeidng the fetters ol bondage in . every clinic . Itj becomes us to draw no distinction between colour ,-country , or creed . Let us show by our active sympathy f or these unfortunate exiles no \ f amongst us that , we are willing . to become fellow workers with the friends of freedom throughout tl « world .-- ; Let ( , ur- present effort be worthy of the high name Englishmen , Irishmen , and Scotchmen have achieved ior ; their country , in the constant and ' eameBt recognition of all , who , as exiles , havo sought refuge on our shores when unsuccessfulljstruggling for Libhrty 1 On behalf of the Committee , ' .., ' ; .
