SATURDAY , Jok , 28 . HOUSE OF . -LORDS . —Their'lordships met at twelve o ' clock to forward bills . At two o ' clock the roval assent was given by commission to sixty-five public and private bills A conference was requested bv the Commons with reference to the amendments oathe Irish . Poor Belief Bill , -which was granted The amendments , a 3 finally agreed to by the Commons , were received and ordered to be considered on Monday , and the house then adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —This house met at two o ' clock ; a lengthened conversation took place respecting the precipitate inarch of legislation during the last few days . 2 Sr . BekxaV Chairman of the Committee of "frays and Means , declared ho was so overwhelmed as to be incapable of bestowing upon private bills the requisite decree of vigilant attention ; Mr . Disiueu characterised the scenes which
had occurred through this haste as disgraceful ; Mr . Aguoxby attributed the gush of bills at the end of the session to the obstruction created by « too much talk" at the beginning ; and Lord J . Russell delicately alluded to the same cause , and to the number of amendments on the motions for going into supply ; whilst Mr . Diskaeu , on the other hand , protesting against restriction of debate , threw the blame upon the government , whose measures were ill prepared . Sir J . GnwuM and Mr . Giieexb mentioned a practical example of the evils attending hurried legislation . On that day clauses had been introduced by the other house into a railway bill which were the same , mutatis mutandis , as the abandoned Railway Audit Bill , and the house was placed in the dilemma , of being obliged to adopt the principle of that bill without discussion , or of rejecting the railiray billto the grievous injury of the parties .
, Lord J . KtrssELL , admitting the importance of this case , consented to advise the Crown to postpone the prorogation until "Wednesday , in order that the subject might he discussed on Tuesday . Affairs of Cetlos . —Mr . Baillib , chairman of the Select Committee on Ceylon , then moved an address for a Royal commission to inquire on the spot into the means taken for the repression of the hitc insurrection in that colony , lie stated the grounds on which the committee bad thought it their duty to make this application—viz ., that neither the minutes of the proceedings of the Council of Ceylon nor those of the courts-martial had been forwarded ; and there were , moreover , grave charges against the Governor , which could not be
inquire ! into without the presence of witnesses now in Ceylon . The committee , in these circumstances , the session being about to close , had instructed him to move for a commission to inquire on the spot . Lord J . Russell said , if this commission was to inquire into the conduct of the Governor of Ceylon , ¦ with reference to " the means taken for the repression of the late insurrection , " it must tend to weaken and impair the authority of the Governor , who could not carry on the affairs of the colony with a grand inquisitor npon the spot , taking down the complaints of individuals against his conduct in an insurrection not put down without force and
summary proceedings . Very grave reasons could alone justify such a measure , and the governor should be first recalled , in order that he might lie impeached and put upon his trial . The evidence taken , by the Select Committee had not been reported ; the committee , therefore , asked the house to pursue this course blindly . A motion might be made next session for a select committee j or articles of Impeachment might be preferred against Xord Torrington ; but the house should not adopt a course which would destroy the authority of the Governor , without knowing anything of the evidence upon which it was founded .
Mr . Hume said the reason why the evidence taken before the committee had not been produced was that the charges were so seriou 3 and the evidence was partial , minutes and other official documents fi-oni Ceylon having been withheld . The Governor ought to be recalled and a commission issued ; it behoved the house , after what had occurred , to prosecute the inquiry and obtain full information . Mr . Hawes , Mr . V Sunn , Mr . Disraeli , Sir J . TY . Hogg , Lord Hotham , Sir J . Graham , Mr . Law , 31 * . Boebcck , Major Blackall , and the Chaxcelwk of the Exchequer took part in the subsequent discussion ; and Lord Jons Russell having intimated iu the course of the debate that if Mr . Hume would come forward next session , and move , for a select
committee , in order to lay on the table of the house articles of impeachment against lord Torrington , lie ( Lord John Russell ) would be prepared to meet the lion , member , but that he must decline assenting to the appointment of a commission which would Live the effect of destroying the authority of the governor of the colony , without being attended iriili any particular or useful result ; the house divided , when the motion was negatived by a majority of 57 , the numbers 33 to 90 . Lord J . Russell then agreed , that if the committee should re-assemble this day , and by a majority joint out byname such witnesses as ' they desired to examine , steps should be taken to secure their attendance next session , when , the committee should be re-appointed .
A motion ofMr . HuuE , that the evidence taken before the select committee toe laid before the house , was postponed . The house adjourned at half-past six o ' clock until
Tnesdav-MOXDAY , Jult 30 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —West I > t > ia Ccxoxies . — Earl of Uakuowby , on presenting a , petition from the Standing Committee of the West India Merchants and Planters , entered into a lengthened statement as to the distress prevailing in the West India colonies . The petitioners urged upon the house the necessity of taking steps for the promotion of an increased immigration of natives of Africa into these colonies , and suggested the propriety of extending the period of contracts for labour . They also prayed that the terms of the loans of last year to these colonies might be modified , and further assistance advanced to them on the credit of the mother country .
Earl Gara stated that he could not hold out any encouragement to the hope that the conditions for the advance of money under the loan of last year would be modified . He was also satisfied that the extension of the period of contracts for labour would ultimately prove injurious to the " West Indian colonies . Bribery at Election Bim ,. —Lord Milford moved the second reading of the Bribery at Elections BilL Lord Staxlet opposed the motion on the ground that the measure was most objectionable , both in principle and detail . It inflicted the most severe penalties upon a poor voter who mi ght take a trifling bribe , while the wholesale corrupter almost entirely escaped . He moved , as an amendment , that the bill be read a third time this day three months .
Earl Ghet did not agree in the view taken of the bill by Lord Stanley , but he thought it ought not to he pressed during the present session ; he therefore trusted it would be withdrawn . After some observations from Lord Brougham , the amendment was adopted . Xavigatiox Laws . — Lord Wharxcltffe asked whether there would be any objection to place on the table copies of any communications which may have passed between her Majesty ' s government and the governments of foreign powers in consequence of the passing of the bill for the Repeal of the ^ avi gatlon Laws . He conceived it to be the bounden duty of the government of this country , before it carried into effect such large concessions as were
made by that act , to take steps to secure something like correspondent advantages to this country . Perhaps this demand ought not to be made as a matter of right , but be believed that much might be done by negotiations , and certainly the government should make every exertion to obtain this desirable object . The Marquis of Lassdowse said that it was impossible for the wovernmenfc then to present any detailed information on the subject The period which had elapsed since the passing of the bill had "been so short , that her Majesty ' s government had not been able to make any progress in negotiations -with foreign powers with respect to reciprocity , or rather an approach to reciprocity . The government Lad not lost sight of the subject , and many comnications Had
mu already passed with vanous parties previous to representations being made to foreign powers . ° lard Brougham gave notice of his intention to bring forward this day a motiourespecting the more accurate preparation of hills , as well as tfie mode in -which they were now passed through both houses of parliament . - Ihisii Poon Law . —The Marquis of Laxsdowxb then moved that the house agree to the Commons ' amendments in the Lords" amendments on the Poor Belief ( Ireland ) Bill . LordMosiEAGLE felt it to be his duty to propose that tbeirloidfibips do not agree with the Commons * amendments in the 16 th clause , by which arrears of poor-rates might be recovered in the superior courts , and if judgment was obtained the land upon which
tuey were chargeable might be sei 2 ed and sold without the previous permission of the Poor Law Commissioner , as was required at present . He should not propose" that their lordships insist upon their amendments in the otter clauses of the bill . After a long conversation , in the course of which theMarqnis ofXaxsDOWSEBtatedthat the adoption of tfce amendment irould , in his opinion , be fatal to the l > iU w . the Ilpnsa of Commons , Lord BnouGOAM , who had previously supported ^^^ nent , recommended that it should be Lorn MoxrEAGLE relwtantly conseDtedtO do SO . ag eedto "Mt fiKtanfo were then pub and Z ^ zs&iisssrgg ' j p "> ' l ; - - ¦ -

TUESDAY , Jult 31 . , HOUSE OF LORDS—The Oranok Outrage . — The Earl of Roden made an exculpatory statement respecting the late homicides at Dolly ' s Brae in the county of Down , which went to show that h $ had . been influenced on that occasion by a desire to promote peace . The Marquis of Lassdowne declined to pass any opinion on the statement of the noble Earl until the inquiry into the circumstances connected with the affray had terminated .
Some other business was also despatched , and their lordships adjourned till half-past two o ' clock on Wednesday . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —In this House which met at twelve o'clock , the discussion of the audit clauses inroduced by thollouse of Lords into the York , Newcastle , and Berwick Railway Amalgamation Bill was anticipated by a motion , founded upon the merits of the bill , that the Lords' amendments be considered that day three months , which was carried , upon a division . The Lords' amendments upon various public bills were considered and agreed to . Mr . Home then brought forward again the much agitated question of the claims of the Rajah of Sattara , which gave rise to discussion , and ended in nothing , the nouse being counted out shortly after four o ' clock-.

WEDNESDAY , August 1 . DOUSE OF LORDS . —Their lordships met at half-past two o'clock , and after disposing of some preliminary business and giving the Royal assent to a large number of bills by commission , The Marquis of Laxsdowxe then read the following speech : — My Lords , and Gentlemen , TVe have it in command from her Majesty to inform you , that the state of public business enables her to dispense with your attendance in Parliament , and to close the present session . Her Majesty has directed ns to express her satisfaction with the zeal and assiduity with which you have discharged the laborious and anxious duties in the performance of which you have heen occupied .
Her Majesty has given her assent to the important measure you have passed to amend the ^ Navigation Laws , in fall confidence that the enterprise , skill , and hardihood of her people will assure to them a fall share of the commerce of the "world , and maintain upon the seas the ancient renown of this nation . Her Majesty has commanded us to acquaint yon , that the friendly character of her relations with foreign Powers affords her a just confidence in the continuance of peace . The preliminaries of peace between Prussia and Denmark have been signed , under the mediation of her Majesty , and her Majesty trusts that this convention may prove the forerunner of a definitive and permanent treaty .
Her Majesty's efforts "will continue to be directed to promote the restoration of peace in those parts of Europe in which it has been interrupted . Gentlemen of the House of Commons , "We are commanded hy her Majesty to return yon her thanks for the provision which you have made for the public service . The public expenditure has undergone considerable redactions within the present year , and her Majesty will continue to apply a watchful economy in every branch of the public service . My Lords and Gentlemen ,
We are commanded by her Majesty to congratulate you on the happy termination of the war in the Punjaub . The exertions made by the Government of India , and the valour displayed by the army in the field , demand her Majesty ' s warmest acknowledgments . Her Majesty has observed with gratification the spirit of obedience to the laws which has been manifested by her subjects , during the period which has elapsed since her Majesty last addressed her Parliament . It is the characteristic of our Constitution that it renders the maintenance of order compatible with , the fullest enjoyment of political and civil liberty .
The satisfaction with which her Majesty has viewed the peaceful progress of her people in arts and industry has been greatly alloyed by the continuance of severe distress in one part of the United Kingdom . Her Majesty has observed with pleasure your liberal exertions to mitigate the pressure of this calamity , and her Majesty commands us to thank you for your unremitting attention to measures calculated to improve the general condition of Ireland . It is her Majesty ' s fervent hope that it may please the Almighty Disposer of JEvents to favour the operation of those laws which hare been sanctioned by Parliament , and to grant to her Irish people , as the reward of that patience and resignation with which they have borne their protracted sufierings , the blessings of an abundant harvest and of internal peace .
The commission for the prorogation of Parliament was then read . The Marquis of Lassdowse : My lords and gentlemen—By virtue of her Majesty ' s commission under the great seal to us and other lords directed , and now read , we do , in her Majesty ' s name , and in obedience to her commands , prorogue Parliament to Tuesday , the 9 th day of October next , to be then here holden , and this Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Tuesday , the 9 th day of October next .

Hume , stated , with respect to granting a responsible government to the Cape of Good Hope , that the subject was under consideration with a view to carry out that object . The hon . member also , at the instance of Mr . M . Milnes and Mi-. Hume , stated the circumstances
under which the Governor of Malta had felt himself compelled to limit the number of refugees from Sicily and Italy landing in that island . Lord PAiiiERsroN replied to Lord 2 s us ; enfc on the subject of General Haynau's proclamation that it was unnecessary for him to say her Majesty ' s government , in common with everybod y else , had read that proclamation , as it appeared in the newspapers , with the deepest pain . But , as the government were not in possession of any information on the subject , it was impossible for him to say whether it were genuine or not .
Lord JfuoBNT desired further to know whether , if the proclamation should turn out to be genuine , the government would interpose its good offices , or its authority , if neeessary , to stay the perpetration of such horrrors . Lord Palxieksios answered that the government must reserve to themselves a legitimate discretion to act as they might tbink fit under the circumstances , when they came officially before them . The order of the day for resuming the adjourned debate on the Sunday Trading Bill having been discharged , Sir Augustus Clifford , . the Gentleman UsW « f
the Black Rod , appeared at the table , and desired the attendance of the honourable Members in the House of Lords to hear two several royal commis * sionsread ; one for giving the royal assenfcto certain bills , and the other for the prorogation of the present Parliament .

( From our Third Edition of last week . ) FRIDAY , Jult 27 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Lord Brougham complained of certain alterations which had been introduced in the Lower Ilouse into the Bankrupict Digest axd Coxsolidation Bill , and proposed additional amendments .

Several other bills were forwarded a stage , and their lordships adjourned , HOUSE OF COMMONS . — The House met at
twelve o ' clock , when the Workhouses Loans ( Ireland ) Bill , the Drainage of Lands Bill ; and the Admiralty Jurisdiction in the Colonies Bill were severally read » third time and parsed . On the order of the day for taking into consideration the Lords' amendments to the Poor Relief ( Ireland ) Bill , Lord J . Russell , after taking the opinion of the Chair , whether any of these amendments affected the privileges of tho Commons , and learning that the omission of the first two clauses , prescribing a maximum amount of rate , did , strictly speaking , infringe upon the privileges of the House , proceeded to say that , as these privileges had upon former occasions been waived , he did ' not think that the House was bound to insist upon them on this
occasion , the subject being one concerning which both Houses of parliament should be entitled to give an opinion . ^ ,,, * Sir James Graham , upon the constitutional < j ues ' tion involving the privileges of the House , ' differed from Lord John Russell , and contended that the interference of the Lords in this instance had gone far beyond any precedent , and that if this interference were allowed , it would be better and more consistent to abandon their privileges at once . This very question , as to the extent to which this House should waive its privileges in matters of local taxation , had been referred last session to a Select
Committee , which came to an unanimous opinion that any relaxation beyond a very limited one would be dangerous . ' A long discussion then ensued , and Sir D ; Norrets moved that the amendments be considered that day three months . On a division the Motion for agreeing to the Lords' amendments omitting these clauses was affirmed by a majority of 49 , the numbers 111 to 02 , and the House temporarily adjourned . On its resuming , the' House proceeded with the amendments of a less important character , some of which were agreed to and others rejected , four divisions taking place on the amendments enumerated in the report .
The various other bills on the table having been proceeded" with without discussion , the House adlouraed until Saturday .

SHREWSBURY , July 27 . The Alleged Matricide at Bridgnorth . — Mercy Catherine Newton was indicted for the wilful murder of her mother , Ann Newton , at Bridgaorth , on the 5 th of December last . Our readers will remember that at the last Spring Assizes for Shropshire this case was tried at great length , and the jury , after being locked up for nearly twenty hourSi were discharged without agreeing to a verdict . The prisoner was now put upon her trial again , and the court was crowded . Mr . Whitmore and Mr . Phillimore were counsel for the prosecution , and Mr . Huddlestona and Mr . Rupei't Kettle for the
prisoner . At the commencement of the proceedings Mr . Huddlestone took an objection to the record , on the ground that the prisoner having been once tried , the jury had been discharged without coming to a decision . —After hearing Mr . Whitmore on this point , Mr . Baron Rolfe sent for Mr . was , Justice Erie , to consult him , and the result that the record , with , some slight amendment , was sufficient , and the trial should proceed . The indictment was then read . It contained ten counts , varying the charge as to the modes in which death was alleged to have been inflicted , namely , by suffocation , strangulation , burning , pressing , &c . " The prisoner pleaded "Not Guilty . "—Mr . Whitmore ; hen proceeded to state the case for the prosecution ,
after which he called—Mary Corfield , who stated that she lived in the service of Mr . Dyer , of Bridgnortli , in whose service the prisoner also lived ; witness slept in Mr . . Dyer ' s bed-room ? on a sofa , as he was not able to attend to himself ; the prisoner usually slept in the next room ; her mother was in tbe habit of coming to Mr . Dyer's house . On the night stated the witness said she left the prisoner and her mother in the kitchen , after they had partaken of bread and cheese and ale for supper , and a little rum and water after . Witness had fetched a quart of rum during the day . About two o ' clock in the night she was awoke by Mr . Dyer , and found the room full of smoke . She rushed down stairs and went out : it the kitchen door to Mr . Doughty * s , whom she alarmed .
Mr . Doughty came , witness coming soon after , all the time not seeing the prisoner or her mother . Some time after that she found the body of deceased on the brewhouse step , " a charred mass . " A surgeon was sent for , and Mr . Colley attended . The prisoner was wet and singed . The sofa and chair cover were burnt ; four pairs of sheets were also burnt ; a quantity of dripping and grease , which had been in a butter boat and bottle were also consumed ; the kitchen door and passage were covered with water j the prisoner appeared to care little about what had happened . After the prisoner was taken into custody , witness ^ found a carving knife under the cushion p f the chair in the kitchen , and a shawl wrapped up in it . On the Sunday following Mrs . Doughty pointed out some footmarks iu oil upon the kitchen floor .
The witness here detailed various expressions made use of by the prisoner towards her mother , of a most shocking and unnatural kind , expressive of a wish for her speedy death . —The witness underwent a long and searching cross-examination by Mr . Huddleston , in the course of which she said she was not a married woman , but had had one child . She denied having used any expressions of ill-feelings towards the prisoner . She admitted she had had money from the Messrs . Doughty , and added that she hid been unable to obtain service iu consequence of the ex * citement arising at Bridgnorth out of this case , The examination of this witness , together with the legal arguments as to the former trial , occupied the court till a quarter past six o ' clock , at which time the proceedings were adjourned .
July 28 . This morning a number of witnesses were examined , the principal portion of whom were medical men , who differed considerably as to whether the deceased was really dead before her body was burnt , or whether her death ensued from burning and suffocation combined . —After an ingenious speech from Mr . Huddlestone on behalf of the prisoner , Mr . Baron Rolfe summed up , and the jury were eventually locked up , Mr . Baron Rolfe remnining in court till nine o ' clock at night to . receive their verdict , at which hour he received an intimation from them that there was no likelihood of their agreeing that night . They were accordingly locked up . July 29 . DISCHARGE OF THB JURY WITHOUT A VERDICT .
At nine o ' clock Mr . Baron Rolfe attended in the Crown Court , in consequence of a note . ree&ived by him from the fury , requesting to know whether the evidence against Mercy Catherine Newton was sufficient to show that her mother died from suffocation . His lordship told th ,-m that was entirely for them to say—that was , in fact , the very question they had to decide . If they were not satisfied of that , it would be their duty to return a verdict of not guilty , but if they considered that there was ho other reasonable solution of the cause of death , and the evidence showed no one else but the prisoner was present , then it was for them to say whether she did it . —Mr . Huddlestone called his lordship ' g attention to the fact , as proved in evidence , that the deceased was a " chilly woman ; " that she had thrown pieces f candle into the fire to make it blaze ; and that on
one occasion her clothes caught fire from her Bitting in tod close aproxlmity to the fire grate . —The Judge referred to that part of the evidence , and alBO to the opinions as to the burning being after , and not anterior to , the death . He then went through the counts of the indictment , and on reaching the ninth , which charged the cause of death to have been by 1 'tying a handkerchief round the neck of the said Ann Newton , andthen and there causing strangulation by means of which the said Ann Newton did then and there die , &e . " The prisoner , who had been muttering for some minutes , said , " That I never did , my lord ; I never touched her that night . Oh gentlemen , gentlemen , gentlemen , " . ., ( The jury , having asked some further questions of his lordshin intimated that they were not likely to agree , and aeain retired in the custody of the sheriff . Both Judges then attended divine service at St .- Chad ' q ahd shortly before-one the court was once more opened

At the opening of the court this morning Mr . Phillimore . on the part of the crown , having declared
his intention to put the prisoner on her trial a tnira time , Mr . Huddlestone put in an affidavit and made an application for a postponement of the trial until the next assizes , to which his lordship assented . It having been rumoured that Mr . Justice Erie would try her this morning , the court was much crowded . Alleged Mukdeh . —Charles Colley , a labourer , a < red 40 , was indicted for the wilful murder of John Micklewright , a police officer , in the execution of his duty , on the 2 nd of January , at Acton Burnell , in this county . Mr . Bailey and Mr . Corbet appeared for the prosecution . The prisoner was undefended . It appeared that on the evening of . the day in question tliere was a great number of the people assembled at tbe Stag ' s Head public-house , in Acton
Burnell ; and a quarrel having taken place , between the prisoner and another man , some confusion and uproar ensued , upon which the deceased was called in to restore order . He succeeded in doing so , and the greater part of the company went . away . Colley remained a little time after the others , but went away on bfeing requested to do so . The policeman , who , as well as the prisoner , was a little the ' worse for liquor , remained in the house with two or three other men . About twenty minutes after'Colley wanted to get some more liquor , but the landlord would not give it . The policeman went away at the end of the twenty minutes , in the same direction as the prisoner had gone , and overtook the prisoner , who was making a noise , trying to get into a
beerhouse to toss for a pint of beer . Mioklewnght spoke to him gently , saying , "Now Charley , go home quietly , luce . igood fellow , and do not stop here making a disturbance . " After going a little further Micklewrig hfc left him , and he . again turned from the direction of his home towards the Stag ' s Head . He was then making a noise , calling out and shouting . Micklewright went up to him to make him go home , and took out Ms staff . The prisoner immediately caught the staff with his left hand , and struggled for the staff for a few minutes , and then atruck Micklewright with hia right hand , and knocked him down , and jumped on his legs , and then fell on him . Micklewrighfc cried out , " Oh , God , my legs are broken . " He was then takeninto
the Stag ' s Head , and Colley came in soon after , and said , " Here is your staff . " Micklewright answered , " You are a nasty man for doing such an action . " His legs were broken , and the inflammation consequent upon that produced death in a few days . The prisoner was tound " Guilty of Manslaughter , " and was sentenced to ten years' transportation ; Perjury . —Samuel Adams , aged 25 , a beer-seller , was indicted for having , on the 9 th of February last , at a County Court , holden at the parish of Wallington , before Mr . Uredale Corbet , committed wilful and corrupt perjury . Mr . Huddlestone appeared for the prosecution , and Mr , Phillimore for the defence . It appeared that a brother-in-law of the prisoner , named Thomas Lloyd Haden Jones , gave his promissory note for £ 19 to one Sarah Sankey , and that tho prisoner signed his name as the attesting witness . Sarah Sankey sued Jones on the note in the County Court , and was obliged to call the
defendant , the attesting witness , ; who denied twit he had seen it executed , or that the signature of the attesting witness was in his writing . Tlio plaintiff was therefore nonsuited , or , in plain language , lost her suit , and then instituted this prosecution . The facts above stated were clearly proved . The defence was , that what ho had said was true , and he instructed his counsel to call witnesses in support of this position , but the first one called , who was a very respectable looking young woman , on cross-examination , so palpably foreswore herself , that his counsel refused to call another , or have anything more to do with the case , and he was convicted by the jury without any hesitation . ; and , in consequence of the shocking and aggravated nature of his crime , he was sentenced to one month ' s imprisonment , with hard labour , and , at the end of that time , to seven years' transportation . This sentence seemed to take iim entirely by surprise , and he burst into tears .

" The Hungarian nation counts on the sympathy of every nation which loves right and liberty responding to this cry . "—Count Tbmki ' b JPhotest . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —Few nations have ever presented such & sublime spectacle to the wandering eyes of mankind , as modern Hungary , Liberty , after having been remorsely driven from the civilised states of France and Italy , has taken refuge amongst the hunters of Transylvania—a people who , on account of their isolated position , have been considered little better than a cypher in the map of Europe , but now , bursting like a torrent from their primeval forests , not only threaten to free their own country , but bid fair to liberate , Poland and Germany from the thrall of their ungenerous oppressors . The Hungarians have
at all times been distinguished for their indomitable love of freedom . For ages the tardy people stood as the bulwark of European Christianity , against the avaricious encroachments of the Turks , and although their efforts were often ineffectual against the overwhelming hordes of the Sultans , they have again lakea the field against a more sanguinary enemy , and are now pouriug out their blood like water , and perishing oh the battle field by thousands , for the love of that freedom they so much admire , but the blessings of which they liare seldom tasted . It is
salutary to think that the energies and aspiratious of the Hungarians are ; now directed by a mastermind to a visible and attainable object . A warlike people called to the remembrance of their ancient glory , and the unparalleled power of their ancestors , can no longer be the dupes of foreign dominion ; the lovely and immortal principles of liberty are unfolded to the understanding of the Magyars , it has penetrated their inmost souls , and its intrinsic beauty has elevated their minds to such a pitch of solemn * grandeur , that all the power of Russian barbarity will be unable to conquer .
The profligate press of this country , in attempting to palliate the atrocities committed by the myrraidoms of the Austrian Kaiser , tries to deceive the public , by asserting that the Hungarians are a people among whom , the refinements of civilised life have made little or no progress . No doubt the Hungarians are far from being a p ) lished people ; but if they have not made such rapid strides in the art of dancing as some of their more scientific neighbours , they have preserved a gem which others have cauBe to regret the loss of—namely , a primitive love ol freedom . The more civilisation ( in the ordinary sense of the word ) is introduced , the more debased becomes the population ; the more a people are
accustomed to the inventions , arts , and luxuries of a higher state of society , unless their minds are imbued with a deeper sense of moral responsibility , they have more reason to curse the gift . At all times a brutal soldiery are the worst of civilisers , Few per * sons view the question of Hungarian independence or slavery in its proper light . It should be remembered that a battle lost in Hungary is a battle lost in Britain ; that should , the Hungarians fail in their glorious attempt to resuscitate their country , they not only forge chains for themselves but rivet firmer the fetters of every nation in Europe . All honour , then , to the brave people who , alone and unassisted , have bid defiance to the tyrants of the world ! The gigantic power of Russia has encircled 2 * ffi ! & ? ^ Tartar . > <* to * . frothe frozen
. , brought m regions of the north ; but the Magyars , true to their principles ; are exhibiting the might thai ' slumbers in a peasant ' s arm' —ex emplifying to the world that a noble resistance may emt amongst a people destitute of everything but native intrepidity , and cheering mankind with the evidence that the feeblest who are determined to fight for their freedom , may contend against a power the most colossal with distinguished honour per haps with final victory . The details of the Hunca " rian war which have reached this country , eivp sufficient evidence of the fatal . policy nui bv kings .

TO THE CHAUTISTS OF OREAT BRITAIN . Brother Democrats , — We are compelled to again appeal to you . in behalf of the . wife and famUy of-Dr . M'Douall , who has for tho last eleven years devoted his time and money to the advocacy of the people ' s rights , iand is now Buffering imprisonment in a felon ' s cell for his devotion to the sacred cause of . liberty . Surely , it is the duty , of those for -whom he has struggled to alleviate his sufferings as far as in their power lies . The Doctor says , " For himself lie cares not , were his family only provided
for ; " which , we are sorry to say , they are not , for they are often destitute of the common necessaries of life—a fact -which renders the Doctor ' s imprisonment doubly severe . The Committee in Liverpool for managing . Mrs . M'Douall ' s affairs , started her in business in March last , hoping that what she received from the country , together with the profits arising from the shop , would enable her to support herself and . children . Unfortunately , the remittances from the country are " like angels '
visits , few and far between ; " and we are sorry to add that , in the way of business , the support has not been equal to the unavoidable outlay . Difficulties , consequently , press upon the Doctor ' s family , and their circumstances urgently demand immediate assistance . Hoping Dr . M'Douall ' s friends will make an effort in behalf of his -wife and children , we are , your faithful brother democrats , The Committee , Daniel Cameron , Sec . 45 , Portland-street , Liverpool .
Money orders to be made payable to the Treasurer , Andrew M'Fee , No . 6 , Augustinestreet , Martin-street , Liverpool . We add to the above appeal the following letter from Dr . M'Douall , received by a friend In Liverpool ;—Dbah Sir ,- —It would be a very weak acknowledgement of the services you and the members of the committee have rendered my family , to offer you a string of idle compliments and empty thanks . I shall always estimate such kindness and attention more than I shall express the natural feeling in language . I regret that such a duty should have fallen upon the few , because it clearly belongs to the
many , I have claims upon the Chartist body , and upon the working men , of more than a common character . I did not hesitate to expose the horrors of the factory system , and the poor law ; nor did I for ft moment estimate tho cost of becoming the people's advocate , when the great remedy of all remedies—the Charter—was first . agitated . I have evidence , by accounts , drafts , bills of sale , and bankbooks , to prove an expenditure of upwards of £ 1 , 000 , in hard cash , during the years 1838-3940 . I have suffered impiusonment twice—exile once—and endured the privations of a wandering , houseless lecturer , during a period often years . I havo sacrificed time that might have been more profitably
employedhealth , that ought to have reaped a better rewardand talent , that might have secured a far higher and more lasting ' remuneration . I have spared neither property , person , nor family . I have been unjust to myself , negligent to my children , and forgetful of private duties , that I might concentrate all upon the ppoplo . What is . my reward ? . I have been betrayed by my own party—sacrificed by pretended Mends—persecuted by malevolent manufacturers —and deserted by the whole people , always excepting from them the principled few—the just and generous minority . What had I to expect ? I think the very least the people ought to have done to my family , and to those of all
political prisoners , should have been to afford them half the income thoy would receive , or might receive , if all were at liberty . In justice , every family should be maintained in full income , just a 3 if the chief breadwinner was' at home . But that would defeat the intentions of the persecutors , whom many of the Chartists—" or so-called Chartists — have basely s rved , and now as basely assist in punishing tho families of tlio prisoners . If the Chartist body are so sparing of their purse , why should not all of us be the same ? If they are so careful of their personal liberty , why should not we entertain tho same feeling ? If they
will do nothing , dare nothing , pay nothing for liberty , why should we make any sacrifice , suffer any inconvenience , risk any loss ? If they respect their families , love their children , prefer their quiet homes , why should not we do the same ? Are we not all men ? Have we not all like feelings ? In short y if selfishness is to . be the rule amongst ; the Chartists , and niggardly aid the law , why should not wo be equally selfish and fully as chary as they ? I have never made a parade of sacrifices , or a loud outcry about punishment ; but I can form an opinion as well as any man , and make a resolution better than most men .
There needs but a will—a tax on each localityand an equal share of necessary duties , or privations , to effect what is absolutely required to be barely merciful to the sufferers . I hope you will make this determination public as soon as nnssible , so that the Chartist body may come up to the test of honesty . Let ttvem be consistent . Yours , very truly , Kivkdale , July 25 th , 1849 . P . M , M'DOUALL .

THUNDERSTORM AND LOSS OF LIFE . ( Fmn ow ThirdEditionof last Week , ) On Thursday afternoon , shortly before two o clock , the metropolis was visited by one of the most terrific thunderstorms which has occurred since August 1846 During the continuance of Ihe storm , tbe rain fell in torrents , at the same time the wind blew a perfect hurricane .

A ; Middleton , Thomas-street , Commercial-road -East , waa also struck , the roof in a greut measure stripped off , and the cbimney-pots and side walls damaged . In Holywell-streefc , Strand , at Mr . Harland ' s , bookbinder , bo forcibly did the eleetrie fluid pass down the . chimney , that it filled the rooms with soot and escaped through an open window without doing any injury to the parties in the room . Near to the goods station of the Eastern Couaties Railway a young man , apparently about 25 years of age , who had just reached 10 iook

It is said that the father , who is the exhibitor on tho occasion , has already realised upwards of £ 7 by this wretched and hearths exhibition .
