Thanks to a fine bracing east wind, the number of cases of cholera have sensibly diminished, and with them much of the alarm that has pervaded the public mind. Sueh a seagon 1s the harvest of quacks, who have been foisting their nostrams, by wholesale, on the notice of the timid. Large bills, posted on the walls, with a promment invita- tion to “read this,” set forth in glowing detail the asserted efficacy of some specific, known only tothe advéftiser, who offers to indemnify human- ity from the threatened scourge, at a reasonable rate. Generally speaking, the authorities in the various towns throughout the kingdom, are exer- cising great vigilance and energy to mitigate its effects, should it visit their localities, In the Meantime, tne cautions ot the Board of Health against the use of vegetables and truits have com- pletely laid prostrate the trade of the green-grocer and fruiterer. The former have been depreciated in value fully two-thirds, whilst Lisbon grapes, which usually bring about twenty cents per pound, are now selling as low as six. It has lately been remarked that cleanliness is vaccination for the cholera. In connection with this remark, may be mentioned the commencement of the Maryle- bone baths and wash-houses, which are to be handsomely built ia the Italian style, ata cost of sixty-two thousand four hundred dollars. Like four others already in operation in London, it will be self-supporting, and originates with the well- intentioned and humane rich. As many readers may not be informed as to their economy, it may be remarked that they consist of three dapart- ments, namely, baths for males and females, and a department where poor women can take their clothes to wash, in convenient troughs, with the aid of warm water, drying stoves, and smoothing irons, for one penny anhour. The baths consist of three classes. For a warm one the respective charges are four, eight, and twenty-five cents.— Privacy is secured by each bath occupying a se- parate room, which is scrupulously kept. Two clean warm towels are included in the foregoing prices. The number of persons who use them 18 enormous; so much so that the applications far exceed the accommodation. Their use is not confined to the laboring poor; for whilst they avail themselves of those of the lowest prices the shop- man and clerks of the next—tne higher class of trades-people or gentry—pay each their twenty- five cents, which augments the minimum price. and makes the establishment not only self- supporting, but remunerative. It is not to be supposed that these are charities, as they are now erected and conducted under the authority of an act of the legislation, which empowers parishes to raise money for the purpose, on the security of the rates. So far, even at the present low scale of charges, they have yielded somewhere about five per cent per annum interest, on the out- lay, after every expense of attendance and tear and wear has been deducted. In Liverpool one has for some time existed, and in Hull the corporation are building one on q magni- ficent scale. Should business or pleasure bring any one who reads these lines, to London, a visit tothe new baths near Charing Cross is urged, with a view of t extension to other countries. With the brief they have. had, the: e worked benefits of the most salutary kind. The habits of cleanliness —< have induced, have led to improved morals and happiness. With their ex- tension, and abstinence from the use of intoxicat- ing drinks, the working classes of this couatry might elevate themselves in a very brief period to a position of much greater comfort. 7 Yar. Crosse, the great galvanic experimenter, has brought betore the notice of the public a new procees for purifying water. Two cylinders, one of sheet iron, the other of zinc, are immersed 1n a jar of porous earth, in which is poured the turbid water. When electrical action commences, the acid properties are attracted to the zinc and the alkaline to the iron, to both of which they adhere, whilst the earthy matters are precipitated. This plan may be scientific, but its merits do not ap- pear to be such as to supersede the use of the or- dinary filter. Those who like a good light will be glad to learn that the obstacles have been over- come which have hitherto prevented electricity being made available to the purposes of illumin: tion. Up to within the last few weeks, an unsus- tained light could only be procured. At the West- ern Scieatific Institution, watt the last week, a small apparatus was exhibited, trom which issued a pure and intense bright light, which cast ten large argent gas burners ries a into the shade. The gentleman in charge of this novelty stated that whilst the original cost would be trifling, its inventors considered that the light would only cost ore tweltth the present price of gas. He was, how- ever, restrained from turther explanation, lest the interests of the inveators should be compromised in the patent they are now procuring from the government. On the lecture table was a small galvanic battery, the wires of which were put in connexion with an ornamental pillar lice the stem ofa solar lamp. The conjectures hazarded in the room, seemed to lead to the conclusion that the current of electricity passed through two pieces ot charcoal, which form the two poles ot the cir- cuit, which are carefully excluded from all access of external air. Further particulars must shortly appear, which in due time will be laid before the reader. M. Cousin, in the Journal des Savans, calls the attention of the philosophic and literary world to the discovery of the manuscripts of Roger Bacon in the Abbey of Corbey. They are now placed in the hbrary of Amiens. They consist of one hun- dred and ninety-three sheets of vellum. Tne writing is that of the tourteenth century, and abounds with abbreviations. They are principal- ly devoted to un examination of the metaphysics and philosophy of Aristotle, The long expected Assyrian marbles, embarked on board the Juno, have at length arrived, and are safely deposited in the British Museum, in fifty packages. In modern sculpture, a bust ot the Jate George Stephenson, the, engineer, 18 to be erected by the London and Birmingham Railway Directors, in some suitable building on their line, ‘as a testimony of his valuable services to their un- dertaking. The political admirers of the late Lord George Bentinck propose to perpetuate his me- mory in marble, by placing his full length figure in ‘Westminster ‘Abbey. While speaking of works of art, may be mentioned the removal, during the present week, to the National Gallery, of the munificent gilt of Mr. Vernon to the nation. [t consists of one hundred and fifty paintings and six pieces of sculpture, by the most eminent English artists. Government, ever tardy to appreciate liberality such as that shown in the present in- stance, haye barely tendered Mr. Vernon a cold and formal expression of its thanks. It 1s from this cause that the Louvre, in Paris, contains its treasured Murillo Gallery. Ten years ago it was in England, and Mr. Standish, a private gentle- man, its owner. He offered it to the government, but wanted some acknowledgment in return— not a place or pension, but a baronetcy, and to be called Sir Frank Hall Standish. They refused his offer on such a condition. Being in indifferent health, and having no family, he made his will anew, and left his Murilios to Louis Philippe, in trust for the French people. No sooner wi is last testament made known, than the paintings croesed the channel, to the infinite regret of the English people. 3 ‘he programme ot the evening’s proceedings for the annual benefit of the Manchester Athe- num, has appeared. Lord Mahon, who is fa- vorably known tor lus talent asa historian, is to take the chair, which, in former years, was so ably filled by Lord Morpeth, Dickens, &c. The Archbishop ot Dublin is going to attend a second time. ‘Although the array of brilliant names falls } short , in years, Se, Saeetine forward to with great interest, . Shakspeare latterly has been banished trom Engiand. His “Hamlet” has been translated at Paris, and is shortly to be presented at the | Odeon. At Windeor, a troupe of theatricals have been collected for the amusement of the Court. {t speaks favorably for the character of the Queen, that she has expressed a desire that due care should be taken that the selection should only in- clude such as were of good repute in morals, ‘Theatrical management has of late proved a bad speculation in England, owing to the excessive demands of performers. Mrs, Nesbitt and the Farrens, for instance, have latterly been taking from Webster, at the Haymarket, between them, twenty-nine thousand dollars a year. This is treating him, as poor Sir Walter Scott said to James Balentyne, like a milch cow, and not asa 18 looked man. At Covent Garden and Drury lane, the ex- pense at each house; every night, 1s near upon a thousand dollars, whereas, with the first cele- brities, towards mie middle and close of the last century, they were not half thissum. Garrick, in his best days, had only thirteen or fourteen dol- lara a mght; and, in later days, the famous Pal- mer and his wife only ten, Mrs. Cibber twelve, Signor Guritinelle, first singer, six; Signor Gri- maldi and wife, first dancers, five dellars per night. Now-a-days, a singer or a dancer at a tavern saloon, would scout such terms, ‘The con- sequence is, the stage loses patronage, and per- formers lack employment. itness the follow- ing list of names awaiting e ments:—Messrs. Brooks, Stuart, son, Van ane ‘ge Far- ren, Mrs. Warner, Mrs. Nesbitt, Miss H. Fawcet, and Miss Cushman. Jf nothing favorable turn up, these parties intend opening a theatre in Pica- difly. Mr. Delafield, the brewer, who succeeded Beale at Covent Garden, 1s said already, ina year, to have lost a large fortune. Drury Lane, too, pose make a Daakratt rt J soya and Web- ster, at the Haymarket, says that he lost thisey-six thousand dollars in a fewmonths. The Kei have seen the folly of such proceedings, and fra’ reduced their terms. The Jenny Lind furor re- mains after her in the provinces. At Dublin, twenty-six thousand dollars were paid in four mal at the theatre by a gentry who did not con- tribute ene farthing to the passengers of the Ocean Monarch, three-fourths of whom were their coun- trymen. The gentlemen of Newcastle-on-Tyne presented the syren with a gold tea-pot, and ‘an- other coterie in the same town, de termined not to be outdone, gave her a splendid enamelled ‘Watch and appendages, once the property of the young Duchess of Montpensier. How it got out of her grace’s custody 18 not said, though it is open to surmise that the necessities of royalty sought aid at the relentless hands of “ mine uncle.” The Edinburgh Review, in speaking of Jenny Lind, says that she receives nine hundred and sixty dol- lars for a night’s performance, two and a half ot which are the wages ot her labar, seven more the profit on her acquired capital of knowledge and skill,and the remainder is a rent derived from those extraordinary powers of which nature has given her a monopoly, _The existence of the great sea serpent has hitherto been a matter of as much speculation in the minds of many persons as who was the author of Junius. The English papers have ever cast a large share of ridicule on American versions of its existence. If the, aceount is to be believed, it 1s, no Jouger one of doubt, as various of the crew of her Majesty’s ship Dadalus have seen the monster, and the fact has been communicated of- ficiaily to the Admuralty. As depicted in the penny periodicals of the day, for the edification of the million, it is an awful “ sarpant,” with a dragon’s head a barbed tail, such as ancient pictures represent Satan to be the owner of. Connected with the political convulsions on the continent of Europe, has been the expulsion of the Jesuits from several of its Kingdoms and States. Many haye already found an asylum in England, and it is estimated, on pretty good au- thority, that no fewer than five hundred will take up their abode in America, beyond the Rocky mountains, there to found colonies and missions. A part are already in the new world, and the re- maining portion either on their way, or preparing for departure. As far as appeatances are con- cerned, the circumstance might not be generally known, as the policy of this order 18 never to want publicity. Ina country hke the States, they can never become troubleeome. On the contrary, wherever they settle, they will show an example of exemplary industry and circumspection. In these days of enlightenment, their religious tenets and ascetic discipline are only bugbears to the Weak-minded fanatic, Wii Ougiit rater io pray tor ae conversion, than hunt them down like wild easts. From the Jesuits, turn to the Bible, the prmting of which, up to a late period, was a monopoly, in the gift of the Crown. The Scotch establishment of Sir David Hunter Blair has just been brought tothe hammer. The whole material and stock have been sold. The law that conferred this un- Just monopoly, to enhance the price ot the Serip- tures, was sometimes evaded. The manner in which it was done was to print notes at the bottom of each page, with a convenient space for the binder to cut them off, which was regularly done, and thena Bible, similar to those of the monopo- mae) was sold at half the price. " _ . Whilst discussing matters connected with reli- gion, may be mentioned a singular occasion for calling into exercise the authority of the President of the Wesleyan Conference in expelling a Minis- ter in Cornwall, from that society. The reverend pemleman's delinquency was the assumption of a aid, a la Francaise. ‘The President insisted oa the free use of the razor as the only means by which he eould purge himself from his contumacy. The paetor asserted the nght of private x seen insuch matters—claimed the sanction of antiquity in his favour, and referred with glowing enthusi- asm to the noble beards of our forefathers, Moses and Aaron. Both parties were inexorable and the consequence is that the poor preacher is now in search of another rostrum, whtere his adornment may escape the censure of a superior. A paragraph 1s running the round of the papers which holds forth Queen Victoria’s good example to young ladies as worthy of following during di- vine service. Whilst in Scotland, Her Majesty referred, it is said, with her own hands, to all the passages quoted by the Minister, and mingled her voice with that of the congregation in_the psalm- ody. Singing with proper taste and feeling has at all times been considered a powerful means of inspiring devotional feeling, but it has of late years been a matter of regret among the educated classes in Scotland, that the puritanical predilec- tions of the country have hitherto proved an ob- stacle to the introduction of really good music into the service of the kirk. Some years ago an at- tempt was made by a minister in the south to in- troduce an organ to remedy the defect; but an in- stant clamor was raised against worshipping. aT through the instrumentality of a pair of bellows. In Wes porches 1s known by the public about projected marriages, except those between members of the great aristocratic families. Anexception to this rule now occurs, in the announcement of that ot Miss Hudson, the daughter of the Railway King, so_called from the large share he holds in English lines. The lady is mi aes and it is pre- sumed will have an immense fortune, which, with her hand, she has, or shortly will bestow on Mr. Dundase, a young gentleman of moderate fortune, and nt family, in Scotland. The weddin dresses and finery, which modern gentility denomi- nates a trousseau, 1s said to be perfectly unique, being the most recherché productions of London and Paris. The fitteen hundred French national guards have just departed tor Paris, highly delighted with their visit, which they promise to repeat at an early day. Army Intelligence. The bark Warwick, Capt.

Disasters on THE Laxr.—We gather from dif- frent sources the following particulars of disasters on the Jake:—The Drig Eureka, from Chicago, with a cargo of 13 000 bushels of corn and 750 barrels of flour, in attempting to get into Buffalo harbor, on the 3d inet. it mouth of the creek.

The Marquis of Brandenburg and the Duke of Austria were nobles appoirted to military command, on the frontier, against Sclavons, Huns, and Czecks. Gradually absorbing the military power of the em- pire, they became its chiefs ; and thus the princi- pal seats of German power and dominion were transferred from the centre of Germany and the Germans to remote capitals, the population around which were Sclavonic. - 3 Hence has sprung the great oificulty of either Prussia or Autsria_ right! themeelves, after having struck upon the shoi revolution. Prus- tia 18 embarrassed by the Tace of its west- ern province; Austria, by th levanie hordes, which outnumber its Germeft’ population, No mode could have been invented. ely to render such elements of discord uncontf@llable ag the in- troduction of universa! suffrage, It has made of Austria a perfect chaos. Seme good has, indeed, arisen; grert good. The National assemblies, composed in a great measure Speers have, at least, emapoinsted peasants, abolished forced labor, tenure, at will, feudal rents, ame laws, seignorial courts. But, having done this, the Sclavonian peasant is satisfied. He cares not for civic rights, or jury law, of liberty of the ress, or any of those refined institutions. He as made his farm comfortable,;and he wants to go home to the farm, andedeave politics to the emperor or his ministers, ~The citizen and the German, on the contrary,seek the deyelopement of their civil rights, the completion of a charter, free- dom of all kinds—of press, of porson, of buying and selling, of coming ane gotta: Thus.it2s that classes and races differ, and the old governments and military chiefs are seeking to take advantage it War in Austria, of it. ‘The King of Prussia, to do him justice, has pur- sued a moderate and honorable course. He has not excited Pole against Prussian, nor flattered the Sclavonianism of the Silesian in order to make him cut the throat of his Teutonic brother, the Westphalian. Now, this 1s precisely what the court and the statesmen of Austria have done. They have treated the different subject races like so many puppets, employing one to beat the other. ‘They have made the Hungarian crush the Italian, the German bombard the Czeck. They then stirred the Croat against the Hungarian, and suborned the Czeck to rise against the German. It has been theiraim to foster international hate, and they have sedulously sown an immense crop of civil war, in order to glean out of 1t some portion of the old lost sovereign authority. Instead of being a peer to his subjects, the emperor acts as a verita- le wolf, worrying and tearing them to pieces. . The fact of the Austrian court having pa.d and incited Jellachich to march against the Hunga- rians, has been fully proved by intercepted and published correspon lence. Indeed, the unfortu- nate Latour confessed it; and, at the same time, the same Court sent the Archduke Stephen to pre- tend to command the Hungarians against Jel- lachich, of course, merely to betray them. No wonder that the Hungarians distrusted Count Lamberg, sent to take the command, and com- plete the treachery; and that they were impelled to the horrible crime of SIU a braye officer. Kossuth seems to have acted with wonderful energy. This man, an advocate and a journal- ist, alone refused to despair of Hungarian free- dom and independence When his noble col- leagues, who began the revolution with him, one by one deserted it-—when eyen Deak, his col- leage of the middle class, shrunk back trom his side, and propesed to bow to the Sclave--Kossuth alone refused, and marched with the armed mul+ titude of Hungarians to battle. They defeated the Croats, drove Jellachic round the Paton ase and took numerous gAustrians captive, the most emi- nent of whom, being convicted traitors, were hanged. And the Hungarians have thus reco- vered their old and wonted predominance.:— - Vienna at the same time aeoaed to the cry of Kossuth. There, too, the rmans were me- naced by the Sclavonians in the sesembly, as the Magyars were threatened in the field. Sympathy united the two races, simultaneously threatened by Sclavonism and the court ; and the people rose to prevent regiments being sent against the Hun- geasne This popular demonstration, a mere wurst of feeling, ended in an insurrection, which ministers had not the eagacity to prevent, nor the tact or courage to resist. Vienna then fell into the power of the students, the mob, and the Ger- man members of the assembly, the Sclavonians having withdrawn. The more recent events, Kossuth, the withdrawal of Auersperg. and Jellachich, are known. Austria is divided into two camps, the emperor and all the Scla- vontan soldiers and regiments in the one, the German and the Magyars of the valley of the Danube in the other. The peasantry have risen in the Landsturm, and, instead of their old loyal- ty, show their abhorrence of the Croats and their cause. In such a state of things a an dateeh tris umph would be almost as fatal to the imperial house as defeat. For the army 1s fast dividing. ‘The Croats and Hungarian soldiers in Milan can scarcely be kept from coming to blows, and the late conquerors of Lombardy threaten to make it a field for battle amongst themselves. Amidst all this the Archduke John is said to have interven- ed, as the chief of the central government of Germany, to mediate between the popular party and the court—between thegSclavonian and the German. Let us hope that he will succeed, and prevent the terrible slaughter, the cruel action and reaction, of the alternate fortunes of civil war. the march of Affairs of the Polish Provinces, [From the Berlin Letters.) _ ' The committee of the Chamber appointed to in- vestigate the reports laid before them by the Gov- ernment, hinting the necessity of Prolonging the state of siege at Posen, have come to a that the necessity is not proved, and theretore General Pfuel must submit the queston to a vote of the house. The report will be brought up on Tuesday, unless the Cabinet anticipates defeat by issuing an order of revocation. The Polish League, which is now actively engaged at Thorn, and in the districts of West Prussia, will then remove its head-quarters to Posen. The result may be anti- cipated. In the meantime, a Polish outbreak is expected to take place at Cracow and in Gallicia, whence the Austrian troops have been moved to join Windischgratz corps marching upon the mube. It is most natural to expect that the state of aflairs at Vienna, so favorable to a Polish rising in both countries, should not be neglected. The people of Vienna may conquer, but then their victory will be sealed most probably by the loss of Hungary, of Galicia, of Cracow, and of Lom; The Posen-Polish question, as anticipated in yesterday’s letter, has been carried in favor of the non-separation of the Grand Duchy, and thence of its non-incorporation with the Germanic Confede- ration. This result, determined by one vote only, and after a most stormy discussion, 1s regarded as an immense triumph by the Poles. The only Min- ister who spoke against the amendment of Phillip, was M. Eichmann. Neither General Pfuel, nor any of his colleagues, were in their places, It would be superfluous to follow the discussion ; but to make the subject more clear, 1t may be as well to give the incipall clauses and votes. After the pre- amble of the Constitution containing the King’s title reduced to the simple words—“ We, Fre- derick Willam, King of Prussia, hereby make known, &c.,” comes the Ist article, Ist chapter, “All portions of the monarchy in their present circumscription, form the territory of the Prussian monarchy.” This clause was carried by a large majority, and consequently, unless a special law be proposed and carried, the whole Duchy of Po- sen will embrace, as heretutore, an integral part of Prussia, but will not be included within the territory of the Confederation. An amendment of rodowsky, proposing to give a separate Polish organization to the duchy in virtue of the faculty offered by the Vienna treaty and subsequent acts, was rejected. Then followed Phillip’s amend- ment—* The special rights accorded to the inha- bitants of the Grand Duchy of Posen, when the Grand Duchy of Posen was united with Prussia, shall be secured to them. An organic law, to be promulgated simultaneously with the present con- pe ta shall determine these rights more posi- ively.” Upon closing the urns, the result was, 177 ayes and 174 noes; majority in favor of the amendment, 3; but the majority being under 15, the vote b name was demanded. The result of this was, 15 ayer, 164 noes; majority against the amendment, 7. This produced most naturally immense sensa- tion and uproar, as, if correct, it was evident that ten persons had changed their vote. An explan tion then took place, when it tarned out that a mistake of exactly ten had been made in telli the names, and that the exact result was, ayes 173, noes 172; majority 1. The consequence of the adoption of the first section of the constitution with Me pes mendment will be, that the duch; will not only remain undivided, but that the whole will receive a special organization in the rolish sense, Now comes the question of the German element, ‘SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 19, 1848. | fall. lecision | | fore Hungary can recover the sway over her | vonian dependencies, which she possessed before Affairs in the Danubian Principalities..The Designs of Russia, [From the London Chronicle, Oct. 25.) The engrossing interest of the tremendous drama of which the Austrian metropolis continues to be the theatre, ought not to make us pass unnoticed the termination of a little piece which hae been played out on a less conspicuous stage, at a eity of interior note, some hundred miles nearer to the Black Sea. The Great Wallachian revolution has been brought to a close at last; and the only wonder is, that it has been se long in arriving at the denouement. The entrance upon the stage of a body of Turkish troops, sixteen thousand strong, followed shortly afterwards by a Russian detach- ment, was the ‘signal for the fall of the curtain. The Wallachian Republic has evaporated ; and the organic statute, with a Russian general to enforce, and a Russian consul to expound, it, is again the law of the land. Of the Wallachian army, which was to annihilate the legions of the Czar, there only remains an insurgent chief, who has betaken himself to the mountains, and shows a prudent regard for his own safety, in declinin, itn himself in the hands of the restorers o! order. The catastrophe which has put an end to the existence ot the Provisional Government must, we presume, have been foreseen, from the very first, by att who hada hand in setting it up. In- deed, ¢ only apology for so preposterous an en- terprise lies in that temporary derangement of the reasoming faculties which seems to have afflicted the Frenchified liberals of Young Wallachia, in common with the rest of our continental neigh- bors, in the spring of this year. Considering the relation in which “the provinces” stand to the protecting powers, it was clear that there was no room for effectual interference on their behalf. A “protected State” is an invention of diplomatists, devised tor purposes amongst which the welfare of the persons most nearly concerned has ccmmon- ly no place. It 1s neither a nation nor a province; neither independent nor yet dependent; the more liberal its institutions, and the more elaborate its constitutional system, the more keenly do those who live under it resent interference, and the more painful is their sense that the whole 1s but a toy in the Brobdignag fingers which are constant- ly’hovering over them under the pretence of shel- tering the fragile thing with officious protection. The position is not a comfortable one; butso long as the Wallachians remain in it, we fear that they must eubmnt to that Russian influence to which it consigns them, and from which, indeed, we do not know that they could with advantage to them- selves be emancipated. We must frankly confess, however, that, although we do not entertain those feelings of hostility to- wards the great Northern Empire which are some- times supposed to be innate in the breast of every true Englishman, and are far from regarding the Czar as an ogre, whom it is the duty of all civil- Oh! carry me back to Ole Virginny.

The Danube is, and must ever be, the great highway of Eastern Europe ; it is the outlet ot those vast districts to which we in the West must look for our supplies of grain ; and waters, through a pat part of its course, a country rich im,mmeral and agricultural wealth, in the develope- ment and distribution of which all the nations of the Continent are, in a greater or less degree, in- terested. Russia already possesses an amount of control over the mouths of the river, which, but for her proverbial superiority in diplomatic skill and industry, she could never have been suffered to acquire. “ . 7 A few more strides, for which the agitated state of the ,neighboring countries may, we know not how soon, afford opportunities, would suffice to ive her complete dominion over its channel.— Svery conjunction of circumstances which gives occasion for her interference on those debateable lands whichyskirt her southern frontier, must of necessity, from the mature of things, prove advan- tageous to her, and prejudicial to her decrepit neighbor on the Dardanelles. The disproportion of physical and moral strength is too enormous to allow of its being otherwise. The pot de fer and the pot de terre may both be rolling in the same direction ; but as often as they come in contact, the odds are that seme damage befalls the weaker vessel. The dwarf who chose to go campaigaing with a giant, might have foreseen what would be the result of the pereats of glory in such unequal companionship—the one must needs get all the kicks, the other all the half-pemce. The only possible guaranty for the due repres- sion of that tendency to aggrandizement on the part of Russia, which her position renders inevi- table, is to be found in the existence of a compe- tent power occupying the local situation at present covered by the Austrian Empire. It 1s a matter of the first importance that the upper section of the stream should be in the hands of a nation civi- lized and thriving enough to set a due value on this important artery of commerce, and strong enough toentorce, if need be, its juat claims to a free navigation of the channel. From the Iron Gate upwards, we desire to see the Danube flow- ing through a, populous and highly cultivated country, the territory of a State so considerable as to extort from the Court of St. Petersburg that re- spect which will be only accorded to a govern- ment whore hostility it has reason to dread, and whose friendship it is ambitious of conciliating. Considerations such as these have, we need hard- ly say, Sere CHLnG | do with the lively interest which we have always expressed in the fortunes of the house of Hapsburg, and the regret we shall experience if condemned to witness its In the dissolution of the empire into its component parte, we see no other pros- pect than that of a long succession of bloody and unprofitable wars and mutually disastrous dis- sensions between the provinces which have hither- to been held together by the link of the imperial. crown and the network of its administrative sys- tem. The various divisions of the Sclave family, lying scattered at considerable distances from each other, intermixed everywhere with alien races, and differing from each other not less in their interests than in their language, religion, social ha- bits, and the grades of civilization which they have severally attained, are more likely to be absorbed indetail by the colossal Sclavonic empire by which they will be overshadowed, than to unite intoa | compact and independent confederation of their own. Neither can we entertain any sanguine hope that the rise of Hungary upon the ruins ot the Empire would suffice to replace the loss occa- sioned by the decadence of the latter. Having re- gard to what 1s passing under our eyes, we should say that the shadow must go backward on the wall, and the tide turn ere it has reached its heigh a la the union of her crown with that of Austria. If she 18 really to become independent, it would seem that she must purchase her independence at the price of the richest jewels in her diadem. Stripped of Croatia, Slavonia, and the long line of the mii- tary frontier, and forced to watch over a discon- tented slave population infused with its own, a Magyar kingdom would offer no substantial bul- wark to Russian encroachments. And even were fortune to prove doubly capricous, and the Hun- favorite object of their ambition, there is much reason to apprehend that the traditional animosity which the Magyars have ever nourished towards Russia, and which lapse of time seems to have rather embittered than allayed, would make. it difficult for them to pursue towards her that wise and moderate policy which would best conduce to her neighbor’s interests and her own. Indepen- dently of the dangers, internal and external, which threaten to undermine her tithe Se we fear that the establishment of an independent Hungary in close proximity to Russia, would be calculated Tatger to endanger than to secure the tranquillity of Europe. In this and many other respects, the downfall of the Austrian Empire would leave a vacuum which it might require a general remodel- ling of the European system to supply. Heatru or Mr. Cray.—Hon.
