Judkins, arrived at Halifax at 9 o’clock on Wednesday might; that our overland express had arrived at . John, N. B., and that a portion of the news had been telegraphed to Boston, and despatched to us by one of the expresses yesterday afternoon. This news will reach us early this morning, and be published immediately, in an Exrra Herann. The telegraph wires between this city and Bos- ton were in fine working order throughout Wed- nesday night, and until about eight o'clock yes- terday morning, when they became “deranged,” and no communication received till about seven | o’elock last evening, when the fact of the arrival | of the steamer, as mentioned above, came to us. | After this, the line eeased to work again, and we are, therefore, without the news for this morning’s | | edition. The interruption on the line in the early part of | Yesterday, waa ocousioned by the thunder storm; bat in the afternoon other causes prevented the news from being received. ‘The mtelligence from Liverpool is to Saturday the 11th met.—one week later. ‘The Canada will arrive here early to morning. i orrow American Sympathy for Earopean Mepub- Meantsm—The Hungarian Meeting Next Week. . ‘The great ITungarian meeting, prematurely an- meuneed by officious and impertinent intermed- dlers, is to be held next week. It will take place on Monday evening next. The preparations for it are on a large scale. It promises to be one of the most enthusiastic and interesting assemblages that bas ever been convened in this metropolis. Itis to be hoped, and we have some reason to believe, that much higher ground will be taken at | this meeting, than that which formed tke basis of | the Hungarian meeting in Philadelphia. This public demonstration will afford a suitable and op- portune occasion for exhibiting to the whole civil- aned world the feelings and sentiments which aai- mate the people of this great metropolis, in regard to the pregress of liberty in Europe. New York is leoked upon abroad as the capital of the United Btates, as London and Paris are the capitals of England and France; and it is supposed to repre- went and give tone to the public opinion of the whole country, just as its great European rivals re- present the opinion of the nations with which they are identified. In this point of view, it is a matter of national importance that the meeting on Monday evening should be worthy of this republic—worthy of the cause which calls it together—and worthy of the great city in which it is to be held, and to whore sentiments it is togive utterance. No small, selfish, paltry purposes should be permitted to min- gle in this movement. This caution is not unne- eessary. Heretofore, we have had freyueat ex- amples, some of them melancholy and others ridi- ealows enough, illustrating the eagerness with whieh the smaller fry of politicians and demagogues fasten themselves upon popular movements in be- half of democracy and revolution in Europe, in erder to promote their own paltry ends at hone Re mutt not be so in this case. this demonstration must bh monstra- tien in favor of European republicanism, in the igest sense. The very mention of the name of Bangary excites the liveliest emotions of admira- twon and regard for her heroic people. To their glorious achievements—to their anconquetrable de - Votien te their country and liberty, we owe the vevival of our hopes fer the ultimate triumph of ; ale popular cause in Europe. France, who struck 1 the first blow, has fast retrograded, amid the sigh aad execrations of al! true and enlightened friends @f freedom. ited republicanism and socialism ave blasted, for the present, those blossoming hopes which promised uso riche harveet; and ‘we must await another great movement on the part j of the people, crashing the dynasty of Louis Napo- yoon, as they crushed the dynasties of the Bour- | bons and the Orleanists, ere the prospect again brightens in that part of Europe. In Germany, Preesia, and Austria, where republicanism had jest lifted up its head, the power of the despot has alothed itself with new strength, and armed itselt with additional terrors. Rome has again fallen, after her brief but glorious struggle, affording last- img evidence, on the page of history, of the perfidy and hypocrisy of the French government. Only one ity in that classic and fated land holds out—and that is Venice. That fair city has thus, in our day, @overed herself with imperishable glory—a glory before which her ancient renown almost fades away. Are all these considerations to be forgotten ‘and overlooked in the great demonstration of Mon- day next! Although clouds and darkness overhang the for- tumes of republicaniam in Europe, with the excep. tien of Hungary, which is now illamed by the glerious efforts of ite people, yet we are not to deepair of the cause of freedom in the world be- yond the Atlantic. It becomes us, as American freemen, to show to the straggling masses of Ku- rope, whether in defeat or victory, that we are at sal times prepared to sympathize with them, to re. joree with thore that de rejoice, and to mourn with thee that mourns.

Neither must this meeting be allowed to end in mere speechifying, and the “sound and fury sig- nifying nothing” of an ordinary popular gathering in the Park. It must have a practical aim and ob. ject. Eloquent speeches are very well in their way —beautiful addreeses are very well in their way— tremendous cheers are very well in their way; but these are times for action rather than words. We do not wish to see this enthusiasm for Hungary evaporate into thin air. We desire to see it assume a tangible form and a practical shape. If the lead- ers in this grand demonstration mean anything, they will call upon the government at Washington to recognise Hungarian independence, by at once receiving the envoy of Hungary as a regularly ac- credited diplomatic agent of that heroic people. All sincere sympathisers with the Hungarians are fixed and decided on this point; and it fortunately affords a test by which to try the genuineness of the professions made in behalf of Hungary. We eannot doubt, that amoag the resolutions adopted at this meeting, will be one culling upon the ad- | ministration at Washington to do their duty, by | an immediate recognition of Hungarian indepen- dence, Termite Revoivrion Inrenpinté In New Yorx anp New Enxatanp—A Revouvtion in Fasmion- | aBLE Lire. —Daring the last few years, the course | of certain portions of fashionable society and hotel | keepers, at Newport and Saratoga, has been of | such a character, that there is an evident distarb, ance of the elements of that kind of life, in those great centres of all that is elegant, in connection with this metropolis. We should not be at all sur- prised, indeed, to see, on some bright Sunday morning, as the church bells are ringing saints and sinners to the services of the church, the most ter, rible revolution break out, beating all European revolutions hollow, and putting Hungary to the blush. Some symptoms of revolt and rebellion were exhibited last year at Newport; and daring the present season, at Saratoga, the grumblings and mutterings of the insurrectionary storm were quite alarming. This isa serious business, and justifies a hittle investigation, even in this hot weather. It appears that, for a year or two, certain little cliques from have taken upoa themselves great airs and hty pretensions, assuming, by a sort of prescriptive right, the administration of all the affairs of the world of fashion, just as the light- est tinted mulattoes, at Signor Pete Williams’ ele- gant caravansary, on the Five Points, undertake to rule, regulate and control the whole polite society of that classic region. Some of these individuals are possessed of some wealth, and others are not so fortunate ; while, in general, they are all be- neath the ordinary run of humanity in broadcloth and satin, as reepects the personal and intellectual graces which give dignity and fase:nation to the bipeds which crawl, or scamper, or sneak, or strut upon this dirty planet, the earth. These cliques undertake, 1 fact, to exclude others from the en- joyment of the advantages, benefits, and plea- sures which are exposed for sale at the places For instance, they occupy the floor exclusively on the night set apart for dancing parties, and wriggle through the “Polka’s meritricious pace,” or swim round the room in the German waltz, to the exelusion of everybody else. This year, they introduced at Saratoga a dance, or ballet, which contains all the atrocities, eccentricities, and bi- | | sarrerves cf dancing, as practised in the four quarters of the globe, from the piquant polka of the Hun- South Sea Islands; and lasts oaly about two hours. Now, as tothe table, they bribe the waiters by promises or shillings, as the case may be, and se- cure the best dishes at the dinner table, and all the tit-bits of the cuisi Against all this monopolizing and impertinent conduct, a terrible revolutionary feeling has been | aroused ameng the outside barbarians; open re- the subject, as far as regards newspapers :— 1, That the uniform rate of postage on mewspapers should be one cent, paid in advance. 2. All regular subscribers to be allowed to pay their ¢ quarterly in advance. Otherwise the postage be doubled, or the publisher notified to stop the pa- 3. All papers not sent to regular subscribers to be paid in advance at the office where they are mailed— except the usual exchange papers, which will be continued of course. 4. Publishers prohibited from including occasional papers in the bundles sent to subscribers. . To facilitate the prepayment of postage on oeca- sional papers, let the Post-office furnish stamped strips or wrappers. for one cent each. to be used in all eases except of papers sent to subscribers, These to be kept for rule. at every post-office. 6 It would probably be for the interest ot the De- partment to sell there newspaper stamps in quantities of 1.000 or mor liberal reduction, of one-fourth, or even one-half—' increase of business more than compensating for the discount. We concur in the reforms proposed above, and are of opinion that the country would be much benefitted if they were carried into effect. In our opinion, the rule at present existing, allowing papers to circulate free, for a distance of thirty miles from the office of publication, is an absurd one. It is avery good one for country papers, which generally have but a small and limited circulation; but the people of the United States will not be satisfied with country papers. They must have newspapers issued from the Atlantic cities, and from New York in parti- cular, which is the centre—the focus of the thought and intelligence of the nation. If the rate of post- uge, irrespective of distance, be reduced to one cent, and the discrimination in regard to news- papers not mailed from the office of publication were abolished, we are satisfied that there would be a vast decrease in the amount of labor connected with this branch of the department; while at the seme time, the mails would not be encambered with a lot of trash which is never redeemed by the parties to whom it 1s addressed. This would save a good deal of expense in the way of transporting the mails, and considerable labor in the post offices. Under the present system, we are informed that a great quantity of this unredeemed trash remains in every post office in the country. certainly ought to be reduced; but we would n have the reduction made suddenly. It should be done gradually, and the rate Ny | ees brought down to the lowest pores’! .t consistent with indemnity to the de; 10 matter how low that point may be cent, 80 much the better. ‘These are our vi tage reform, respect- ing both newspap | letters. We have no doubt that if proper ¢.-igy be used in the matter, the reform advocated by the Cheap Postage Asso. ciation can be carried out at the next session of Congress.

This evil has grown hugely of late years, and it has new come to be a sort of conceded right, that waiters, por- ters, and all serts of servants, may make allfhe money possible out of those who remain as penion- naires for a few days, or perhapaja few weeks, a’ | the houses where they are employed. We are | fast approaching an equality with Europe in this | respect, withfone difference, however; there, the domestics are not paid for their services by the | publicans whe keep the houses; here they are paid good wages and pursue the system of exaction only to procure pocket money or to gratify an avari- cious disposition. This evil is complained of by persons who visit the fashionable waterng-places, as existing in all the fashionable hotels, the largest houses being the most plagued by it.

It is acknowledged that the tailors and pedlars of the last century hada perfect mght to transmit pugnoses and pretension, scrofula and city lots, to half a dozen generations; but it is not admitted that two or three little cliques should absolutely rule the roast at Newport and Saratoga. In fact, there is an awlul storm brew- ing. ‘The swelling tide of fashionable indignation is becoming stronger and stronger. It cannot be restrained much longer. Boilers will burst, if you put too much steam on. Many of the hotel keepers in these places of pub. lic resort, have been silly enough, and blind | enough, ‘and stupid enough to aid these exclu- sives, and be controlled by them, instead of con- | ducting their establishments on those prin- ciples of liberty and equality which alone give popularity to those public places. At Saratoga, the proprictors of the hotels have al- lowed themselves to be entirely controlled in this way. of the hotels at Saratoga, particularly the “ United Sates,” “Congress Hall,” and the “Union Hotel ;” ond the same treatment has been ex- tended to those in Newport, the “ Atlantic,’ “Bellevue,” and the “Ocean House.” But, ac- cording to the most reliable accounts, the manage- ment of these public houves has, of late, outraged decency and propriety ia regard to the dinner table. We do not care one cent, one iota, for all the attentions which these hotel-keepers may lavish upon our reporters or agente, gratuitously or otherwise, in the way of a great public duty which we owe to the aggregate fashtonable eom- | menity of this country, in opposition to all the little chqnes of pretenders, come from what quar- ter they may. speedily, we shall promote a revolt, and a revolu- tion, end an outburst, that will teach these hotel- keepers, there eliques, and all connected” with them, @ lesson for all time to come.

The guest replies in the affirmative, and finishes his meal; when he is about to nse from the dinner table, the waiter asks if he shall “save this seat” for the gentleman, or “these seats,” if there should be more than one. The reply, the house being crowded, is, of course, in the affirmative, These ‘seats saved,” are alway so saved at the expense of the occupant who, in order to insure a tolerable attendance, must fee | liberally the hand, be it white or black, which is | to furnish him with meat and drink. But the | waiters being made all right, only one step is made | towards securing the comforts of the house.
