The Pruttian Parliament rcaitombled on tho
4th; but, like the public, it waits the ittue of the
Conference at Dresden, of which, at yet, nothing

done, the Lower Chamber reflected Count
Schwerin as their Pretident by a large majority i
Bimton and Lenting wero re. lectod Vice Preti?

Rittberg, made a very anti-Minitteral tpeech.?
?The Ministerial party hat had a majority on tho
address debate. In its fitting on the 7tb inst. the
House resolved to drop debate and to proceed to
the butinett of the House. The Address Commit
teeof the Upper House has recommended asimilar
course.
In the Upper House at Berlin, on the -th inst

The two Commissioners from Dresden arrived at

consented to meet them on the following day.
The Commissioners will give them three days to

Which they ought to take. The Bavarian troops
at Cassel are preparing to leave that city. Their
place in the garrison will be filled by the Austrian
troops aud artillery. The Prussian corps it mov.

Having a tolerable Dumber of home and country luillera
in attendance at our Corn Exchange t?day, Wheel of all
deacrlptlona was held with rather more firmness than of
late, eapeclally pood naeful qualities of foreign | buyers,
however, continued to proceed rather ra.ui luslv, and
though ? few parcels were taken for Insh account, tlie ag?
gregate amount of business was only moderate, with little
or no variation from the currency *>f this day ae'nlghl ?
American Flour having been taken rather aparmrfly
declined 6d per bbl; and while prime marks of French,
upon a moderate demand, remained steady in va ue, se?
condary kinds receded 6d, and Irish generally Is por sack.
India!* Corn, upon a temporary suspension of demand,
declined thlaninridng Cd per <,r.; snd in floating cargo* of
Uils article or Wheat few transactions have recently trans
pircd.
Another unfavorable change in the weather occurred on
Tursday evening, bringing on excessively heavy rain, and
to-day is extremely wet and unsettled, placlDir the low
lands around ns completely under weier.
The British and Irish Corn markets so far tins woek are,
with very few excepuona. reported somewhat easier for
most hinds of Urain, and in a majo-ity of instances all
leading articles designated rather cheaper.
At our maraet this imorning. however, we had a largo
general display of samples from grsnary, and nothing ?ut
hctently potent arising to disperse the cloud so Ion?; sus?

extremely Inactive, and In every department of builnes*

all descriptions of wheat were prwatnally ratli r de?

The market being now moderately well assorted with
new Beef, the trade have purchased during the week to a
lair extent, and, while very low prices have been taken for
an ordinary brand, lull rales have been made for the better
descriptions.
The high price now required for Pork has checked busi?
ness, but holders, being very hrtn, are likely to establish
the advance.
There Is a moderate inquiry for new Haron. an.1 where
fine our extreme quotation i* readily made. Old Ham*
move slowly; no new yet arrived. No Shoulders on the
market.
The {inquiry for Lard has been only to a limited extent,
but, from the light stock, holders have been enabled to es?

The market for Cheeae ha* ?careely varied; fine qualltiea
move readily at full prices; but other descriptions are quite
neglected.
The Tallow market has been devoil of interest; former

The Corn Market during the week ha* presented no fea?

on an extensive scale, and the Importars generally are
averse to warehousing. Prices have scarcely varied, and,
at to-day's market, with only a moderate business, our quo?

WM. OARDNCR it CO Brokers
Constitution nnd Future Destiny of America.
From the London Times.
Sir Henry Bulwer lifts just established a con?
spicuous title to the post which he has been se?
lected to Gil. At a banquet crowded by enthusi?
astic New Kntrlanders, assembled in celebration
of their most famous anniversary?Forefathers'
Day?he outshone even American eloquence upon
American topics, and so plied bis delighted audi?
ence with the tropes of rhetoric and the brilliances
of metaphor, that he fairly carried the field before
him. Yet he bad no easy task to perform. Mr.
Webster had anticipated every favorite apostro?
phe, and bad led his countrymen through the his?
tory of 2110 years to that moment of pride with
which the moiety of a century was closing. But
no sooner had Sir Henry warmed in his discourse
than he elaborated every familiar point of Trans
atlantic oratory, and, without disparaging his own
allegiance, succeeded in satisfying every aspira?
tion of American pride.
In simple truth the two speakers bad a straight
and obvious course to ruin. They could well af?
ford to join hands in congratulation and compli?
ment. At this marked period of history and
chronology there are but two civilized Govern
menta in the world the citizens of which could
solemnize such a festival as that reported from
New-York | and the events ot the last two years
have amply shown that a Conatitutional Mon?
archy and a Constitutional Republic diti'er only
in political terms when contrasted with military
tyrannies or democratic experiments. When M.
Guizot elucidated for the benefit of his country?
men the principles of tucctitful revolutions, he
confined bis illustrations to two examples?that
of England in IBM and America in 1776, and he
frankly confessed that forms of Government sig?
nified little so long as the securities of good ad?
ministration wore supplied by the self-denial, for?
bearance and moderation of the people concerned.
No Governments can be either durable or pros?
perous without the submission oi individual con?
ceit to tho reaolutioua of the nationa as legally
declared. There exists in the United States, no
less than under absolute monarchies, a party dis?
contented with the established order of affairs,
and tbe violence of political dissent has lately
been carried to such a pitch as to elicit sugges
tions for the abrogation of the Constitution itself.
But tbe great body of Americana are sound in
their convictions and clear aighted in their views.
They have had their 10th of April, like ourselves,
and. after a abort atruggle and a great deal of
noise, they declared in the theatrical riots that
tbe magistracy should rule the mob, and in tt?e
Slavery agitation that the Cona:ttution should
rule tsje country
But it was not the Declaration of Independence
or the foundation of the Republic which the New
Englandera met to celebrate on the occasion to
which we refer It was an anniversary more
completely commanding the sympathies of a Brit?
ish Minister, ami well calculated to unite in emo?
tions of common pride the Englishmen of the
Old World and the New. Two hundred and
thirfy years ago, within a few days of the time
whtn the religious convulsions of Germany were
inaugurated by the great battle ol Prague, a haai
fot of Pilgrim Fathers landed at Cape Cod from
the " Me) flow t.r bark, after a perilous and stormy
voyage across tho Atlantic deep. On a piece of
rising ground they built a row of small tenements,
with a common store house between theui Strong
they were in faith, in hope, and resolution, but
so straitened were their means that when another
bau b of pilgrims arrived to share their fortunes,
the entertainment provided for the new comers
consisted oft single lobt:cr and three fish, and
theae not caught, but pWfCSsaaTsSsI of the Todians,
for in the whole ?ha? there waa neither hook nor
net Tbe pilgrims hel l their own, and transmit
ted their settlement to their protreay, but with a
tenure ao precarious that their bones were buried
without mark or sign, SO preaerve them from the
desecration of the savages who miirht one day re
cover the ground.
Such was the origin of New-England ?a giori
oua topic, it mint needs bsj owned, fir justifiable
declamation- These 11 families are noar repre
sented by 3,000,oC0 souls. From B single port it
that settlement, where neither hook nor Let ex
isted, there ow issue annually SM ships, manned
by 10,000 seamen, to capture the might:- si in mi
ten of the deep The capital or the colony con?
tains nearly l ooo inhabitants within its walls .
supports lb daily and M weekly newspapers, and
maintains BM public carriages, employing I,C'>0
horses, irrespectively of 7 railways, each of which
upon an average conveya l.oos passengers per
day Such is the picture of modern Uoston as
delineated Ion the last Anniversary of Pilgrim s
Day i and happy it is for England and America
when their representatives can unite in expa?
tiating on theae wonderful statistics, instead of
awakening the injurious and forgotten echoes of
Hunker's Hill.
That the Americans owe to their ancient stock
the qualites which enable tkem to found and pre?
aerve their system of Commonwealths is a fact
which they may acknowledge without disparage?
ment of their intrinsic powers. They carried
with them across the ocean, not only the forms of
good government, but the principles of trood citi?
zenship. They never built upon political theories,
or affected any cbinge except upon sound reasons
and by sober mentis They did not substitute a
Republic for a Monarchy in deference to any im
aginary code of rights antecedent to recorded
laws, but when, in pursuance of settled convic?
tions, they had reluctantly renounced an allegi?
ance, they made the best provisions in their pow?
er for administering the Government themselves.
Little was changed beyond the form of the Exec?
utive. They devised no new relations between
man anal man, nor did they deem themselves com?
petent to recast the frame of civil aociety. They
retained every institution and practice which
could be accommodated to a Congress instead of
a King. Far from extemporising new laws, they
preserved, in their reverence, even the leset de?
sirable attributes of the old, and have only iast
now reformed their system of procedure when
wc. their elder brethren, are confessing a like
necessity and acknowledging the goodness of
their example.
These were the principles which preserved
them. Amid a variety of temptations, apparent?
ly infinite when viewed from thia side oi the At?
lantic, but perhaps less serious when more closely
contemplated, they have always acknowledged
that private opiniona must yield to the recorded
will of society at large, and that no community
can maintain a political existence where every
citizen claims the right of promoting by violence
his own speculative conceits.
We believe Mr. Webster was substantially jus?
tified in treating as already exploded the recent
agitation for the dissolution ot the Federal Union.
There ia, indeed, something so unprecedented in
this enormous aggregation of States and Territo?
ries that it is impossible to arrive at any probable
conclusion respecting the future destinies of
America. The weighta on the two seaboards are
now so immense that the Constitutional trabric
must needs be exposed to severance from its own
gravitation alone. The thirteen States of the
Union have already become three and thirty, if
not more, for they increaae as we write, and there
is space and verge enough forconvertingthe num?
ber into a hundred.
It is beyond all human power to calculate the
prospects of a Government to which one Conti?
nent supplies territory and another population.
What California is to America, America is to the
whole world. No example has ever yet been
seen of such a mighty and interminable conllux
of peoples. Ireland alone supplies yearly to this
extraordinary State the population of a first class
city. San Francisco has increased more in two
years than Brighton in fifty. The treasures of
tho new territory have attracted immigrants in
equal numbers from the two proverbial extrem?
ities of the world?from China and Peru. and
yet by some wonderful process the system of the
I nion appears to absorb and assimilate to its
Constitution these various and conflicting ele?
ments. No speculator can prognosticate the end
of such a prodigious experiment, or prophesy tho
eventual decisions of a Chamber in which the de
ligates of California and New Mexico will meet
the representatives of Florida and Maine. But
thus much wc may at least say, that tho Amcri
can Union is now discharging a providential part
in the progress of the world, and that if the pos?
sible modifications of its Political Constitution are
but effected in obedience to the principlea which
have hitherto maintained it, there can be no rea?
son why either Americans or Englishmen need
look with apprehension to the result.

A dreadful murder and the auicide of the mur?

eight miles from this city, between 6 and 7 o'clock
last evening. Tho person murdered was a young
lady of respectable family, named Sarah Sharpe.
The murderer's name was John Everett, the hus?

Mr. WhiTCOMI presented the credentials of
Mr Bright as Senator from Indiana for six years
from March 4th next.
Various other petitions and reports were also
offered.
Mr Benton called up the bill to pay Miaso-iri
the amount of the two per cent fund reserve 1 on
the sales of Public Lands.
Mr Shields supported the bill.
Mr. Olat said, that at the proper time he could
prove to the Senate that Misatsatl was not to the
amount of one farthing the creditor of the 1 nited
States on account of this ??? per cent fund. He was
too feeble to day, but if the bill was postponed, he
would hereafter do so
Mr. Benton was willing that the bill should be
postponed for a short time. The bill was then
laid on the table.
Mr M v?on caiied up the bill incorporating the
T'nion Gaslight Co. of the District of Columbia.
Mr. WALECK moved to amend the bill bv mak

Mr. WaI kkr supported it.
Mr. Cll v-k moved to amend the amendment by
providing thst each director shall also be held in

Mr. Chase replied.

Mr. Borland moved, and the bill authorizing

Mr. Gwin moved, and after debate the Senate
took ud, the bill to ascertain and settle Private
Land Claims in California. The bill was intro?
duced by Mr. Fremont early in the Session.
Mr. Owi.n moved a substitute for Fremont s
bill, which was agreed to in Committee of tho
Whole, when the bill was reported to the Senate.
Mr. Benton offered a substitute for Gwin's
substitute. All the substitutes and the original
bill was then referred to the Judiciary Coiuoiit
tee.
The Committee reported back a new bill or
substitute forthe original and all the substitutes
The question was on agreeing to the subscitute
reported by the Committee on tho lasTisiaey,
Mr. Dswiissiii explained the proposed substi?
tute
Mr. Benton said he had pointed out the defects
of Mr. Gwin's bill, and the defects were so
glaring that the author of it himself moved
its relerence to a Committee. For forty six
years the Public Land Committee had chargo of
this business, bat now it was sent to the
distinguished Committee on the Judiciary. The
bill reported by this Committee was worse than
a clear act of confiscation. Tbe Committee had
been deplorably and calamitously unfortunate ?
Where Gwin's bill was bad they have made it
worse , wherein it was good they have struck out;
and where the bill was neitheigood nor bad, they
have originated something infinitely worse than
anything before heard of. He proceeded at great
length in critical examination of the bill reported
by the Committee, and announced his intention of
making its errors manifest in detail by motions to
strike out and insert.
Mr. Berrien rejoined, and shoVed that this
bill only carried out in detail and with precision,
tbe provisions of Mr. Fremont's bill.
Mr. Benton was surprised that tho distin?
guished lawyer from Georgia should attempt to
shelter his blunders behind a paper drawn up by
a young man who perhaps had never read law.
He pointed out blunders in this bill which Mr.
Fremont could never have made.
Mr. Berkien had no desire to shelter himself
behind the absent Senator from California nor
the present one from Missouri; as to charge of
blundering and other denunciation contained in
tbe courtly phrase which the Senator from Mis
souri accustomed himselt to use, he would answer
it by stating that he did not believe the Senator from
Missouri comprehended the provisions of the bill
about which he was talking.

THE NEW-ORLEANS CONFLAGRATION.
The St. Charles Hotel In Hnlns Two Charon
re Destroyed -Immense Losa of Property.
The New Oilcans I'tc<iyine of the Ittk briags
us a detailed account of the great conflagration
in that city on tho previous day, aome acco tats of
which we have already received by telegraph und
published, from which wo extract the following;
It is with a deep feeling of gloom and despond?
ency that we undertake the task of relating the
incidents of the calamity which yesterday over?
whelmed our city. We believe that this feeling
is shared in by all who have at heart tho welfare
of New-< Means. A conflagration of the nature
of that we witnessed yesterda., coming on us so
suddenly, spreading so rapidly, choosing for its
prey some of tho stateliest edifices wo boast of,
may well weigh down the stoutest heart, uuuerve
the most courageous spirit, and touch even the
most Indifferent spec tator and stranger. It all
seems now like a terrible dream?like some; mag?
nificent but appalling panorama
The 8t Charles Hotel was first discovered to be
on tire at 11J o'clock yesterday forenoon. Slight
curls of smoke issued from the north or left hand
wing of tho building, over tho ladies departsnoat,
near thp portico, between tbe front eaves ml the
roof, lu a ta w oiii?>taa the smoke poured from the
?area all around the front portico As this waa so
much in advance of the main building, it was at
first thought that the smouldering tire could be
easily conquered. To this purpose, the fireman
being speedily on the ground, hose were drawn by
means of ropes directly from tho street up to the
top of the portico, ladders raised, holes knocked
in the roof, water poured in, whileotherhose were
taken up the large central ataircaso running clear
to the top of the hotel, and every exertion made
to extinguish the tire. A high wind, however, was
blowing from the north-west, helping to drive the
fire into the building and under the roof, where it
waa difficult to reach it.
The dense volumes of smoke rolled so heavily
over the narrow and much exposed space where
tho firemen stood on the roof, that they woro
hardly able to breathe or sec, tho tiorce flames
burst forth all around them, beating them direct?
ly into the hotel; and they were finally forced to
retreat. In a few moments, the flames rushed
up the lofty dome and the light airy cupola; the
upper passages and rooms tilled with dense,
stifling smoke: the flames hurst forth from the
roof ot the main building on either side of the
portico and came out of the upper windows;
then all hope of saving the magoificent edifice
was abandoned : and the immense crowd in the
streets, in a short time, saw tbe entire structure,
five stories high, with dome and cupola domineer?
ing high above all compeers in the city, from front
to rear, on St Char.es Gravier, and Com-non-sts.
enveloped in one broad, glaring sheet of fierce
flame, rising from the very ground floor, while
the vast mterior aeemed one raging, blazing fur?
nace, tho whole grand, lofty structore looking
like a very m mntain of a red flame, it waa a
magnificent spectacle, absorbing the aonses, tix
ing the spectator's gaze with a species of terrifi?
ed admiration.
Evident signs of falling columns and crumbling
I walls warned the dense crowd in front of the hotel
in St Charles-st. of their das ger. Scarcely had
they moved aside, together with the engines, hose
and other apparatus, bet?re the heavy upper por?
tion of the arched cornice of the portico fell oat
ward with a heavy crash.
The great dome began to totter?all eyes were
fixed on it. A feeling of deep regret pervaded
the entire mass of gazers. For a moment there
was a pause, and nothing was heard but the roar
of the flames and the crackling timber. The next
instant, cupola and dome fell in, disappearing in a
great cloud of smoke and tire that rushed up, while
a deafenimr crash stunned the ear. The doom of
the St. Charles was sealed.
Presently the roof disappe ared ; rafters crashed
down iu showers of sparks and smoke ; portions
of tho interior walls followed ; the lofty walls in
the rear and on Gravier-at broke oil" in great
masses and went plunging down, some inside
tbe building and others in the street, while at
each fall a heavy, thundering noise, and shoot of
flame and sparks, followed. Two of tbe tall pil?
lars in front soon came down in the street It is
useless to pursue the description further. The
flames continued to rage as fiercely as ever, un?
til toward 8 o'clock, when all the timbers, beams,
everything in short in th? hotel of an inflammable
nature, bad fallen and been burned, leaving the
noble edifice completely dismantled, scorched
and blackened . the entire arch of the portico
gone, the pillars cracked?their heads down,
plastering off; here and there slender portions of
the high walls still standing?a desolate wreck
and mass of blackened, smoking ruins. The wall
and part of tho cornice on Common at- and at the
corner of St. Charles, are still erect, Cut cracked,
defaced and tottering.
The strong wind blew showers of burning em?
bers a long distance, setting fire to the turrets of
Mr. Clapp's Church, at tbe corner of (iravier and
St. Charles sts. to tbe Methodist Church at the
corner of Carondelet and Poydras sts. to various
frame buildings in Hevia st between Carondelet
and Uaronne, in Carondelet, above aod below He?
via, and to many roofs in the rear and neighbor?
hood of the hotel and churches.
Despite the exertions of the firemen, Mr. Clapp's
church was, in less than an hour after it caught,
completely gutted, leaving tbe bare walls. .After
tbe engines had left it, and while a great number
of persons were on the sidewalk in front, the
square tower fell in, pushing the wall out, and for
a moment it was feared that many persons were
killed. Fortunately, that was not the case. A
fireman, we are informed, had his arra broken.
The green-bouse in the front yard of the church,
at the corner of Union and St Charles sts. and a
tent maker's shop at the Gravierst- corner were
destroyed. Many of the plants in the green bouse
were saved.
A few cashions in the Church were thrown into
the street. Nothingelse was saved. The build?
ing was not insured.
The long, low, one story brick building behind
Mr Clspp s Church, running from Gravier to Colon
sts and principally occupied by the " Pelican"
Coffee House, was burnt out, leaving the walls.
They were insured for f1,000 in the Crescent Mu?
tual Insurance Company of this city- Tbe coal
othce of J. Nunick was in the Gravier st, end of
the building He saved his books and papers
The building was owned by Jacob Barker.
In this building, on the Conamon-et front aod
aecund-story was the olHce of A Miltenberger A
Co. They saved their books, papers, Ac.
In Common at the brick boildiog, 117, neat to
the f. iel, occupied by Henderson A Peale, was
burneo out. They saved their books, papers, 4c.
Wo never saw a buldiag ban go rapidly as
the large Methodist Church at the corner of Poy
drae and Cerondelet sts The roof and lofty
steeple were all wood, not slated, and old. In at
leaat twelve minutea after the roof caught, and a
little amoke waa first aeen. the tall steeple waa a
burning pile and the half m the roof on lira aad ia
a bright name. The firemen were in a few mo
menu on the spot and worked hard bat could do
nothing. It waa evident that the building would
be completely ? utted Tbe steeple soon fell bodily
to the ground, and in a moment the entire edirtee
waa in flames. Nothing now remains of it but
the bare walla It contained a valuable organ
and other property, none of which, wo believe,
was saved.
The flames soon communicated to tbe adjacent
tenements in Poy drae and Carondelet sts. They
were frame builoimrs and burned rapidly, despite
the utmost exertions Poydraa street was boob
blocked up with piles ot (uraiture, mattresses,
trunks, drays, carts, engines and hurrying, work?
ing crowds The burning buildings were occupied
by poor people, many of whom were women.
Their loss and embarrassment must be great la
such a oaowd and scene of otter confusion it waa
difficult to save property from destruction
In Carondelet st. next to the church and be?
tween Poydraa and Hevia sts. was a fine two
story irame tenement, with porches and pillars,
occupied forolhVes, Ac. It was burned. Contents
mostly saved. The back buildings around the)
rear of the church were b?rned.
In Carondelet st. above Hevia, and opposite
"Caroudelet-row,' a block of three two story
frame buildings, Noe. 171, 173 and ITS, with
porches and pillars had the roofs burnt oti, upper
stories injured and bsck huilduigs much burnt.
The Methodist Church was insured lor * 10,000.
The 8t Charles Hotel building was insured for
t lu< 1,000. The lessees, lleur: Mudge 4 Wilson,
had an insurance of tvj,5eH)on the furniture,
stock, wines, liquors, Ac.
Iiis impossible to describe the scene of confu?
sion that took place in the hotel when the a araa
was given. Imsgine tbe immense building, filled
with live hundred strangers beside as suauy more
boarders, servants, Ac. each one running here
and there, working at the lire, packing trunks,
carrying out baggage? tew preserving any pres?
ence of mind?Indies sick, fainting or frightened,
while crowds hurried from every direction to the
spot; men shouted, the engines clanked and belle
rang clamorously, and something like a picture of
the scene may be drawn. The streets, beside, in
all direction*, were crowded ao a* to prevent tho
firemen from working. Galleries windows, roofs,
were occupied; while as the fire spread and
alarms increased, families deserted their homes .
carts snd carriages were moving in every path,
and the streets and pavements were piled with
furniture and other household articles in the
greatest confusion.
The tire in the hotel is supposed to have origi?
nated in a defective fiue of a chimney. It must
have smouldered for hours before discovered
\ ery little furniture, stock, wines, Ac. was
saved from the hotel. Tbe silver plata was loft
in the tire-proof vault which is supposed tobe
somewhat crushed in by the immense weight on
it. One of the clerks saved the money deposited
in the office.
Mr. Wilson had his leg severely cut and bruised
by the falliug of one of the walls.
We have not heard that any passengers lost
baggage. The thieves though were about in
crowds
The ladies in the hotel were taken to the Ve?
randah, where the gentlemen gave up their rooms
to them A great deal of trouble, as regarded
lodgings, followed the sudden turning out into tho
streets from the hotel of so many hundred of visi?
tors and boarders. This evil cannot last long,
however.
Many rumors prevailed regarding loss of life.
Two persons were generally reported to have
been killed by the falling ot the cornice of tho
hotel portico.
Dr. Karkee carried out, one after another, two
sick persons, in his arms, from the third story of
the hotel.
On hearing of the disaster, all tho Courts ad?
journed. Business came to a stand still. In tho
evening several of the theaters closed.
Aid for fiosnuth.
Wc have been handed the following letter tor
insertion, addressed to Major Dembinski by Mrs.
Brown. It contains important and very interest?
ing information in regard to Kossuth an 1 his fam?
ily. Mrs. Brown is a widow lady, now some 70
years of ago She is a sister of the late Com?
modore Porter, and mother of John P. Brown
dragoman to our Legation at Constantinople, who
in dow accompanying Amin Bey on a tour of
observation of our country Mr. Brown, in com?
mon with hi* generous and noble mother, has al?
ways taken a great interest in behalf of the Hun?
garian Refugee* Mrs II. arrived a few months
ago in company with her son from f'oustsntinople,
on a visit to her native laud after a long absence,
having been his compauion for many years io
Turkey. We are very certain that the perusal
of her interesting letter, will reawaken the inter?
est in behalf of Kossuth and tho Hujgarian
Hefugees, which has been slumbering for the past
few months. Lost year, upon the arrival of tho
iirst refugees who visited our shores, a deep and
genuine sympathy was extended to <Jov. Ujhajy
and his companions, and money was freely raised
for their assistance. Never has there been a timo
when the aid of the good and generous was so
much needed in behalf of tho Hungarians. And
never was there a cause having stronger claims
upon the hearts of the citizens of this country
Tbe Hungarians who have arrived within the
past year and settled in this City, have establish?
ed a society to aid their countrymen as they ar?
rive upon our shores. Tho gentlemen com posio
the society have determined to make an effort to
raise funds whereby they may be enabled to ex?
tend the hand of succor to Kossuth and his com?
peers, and provide the meana to relieve the daily
calls made by their country men when they first
land iu our City. A great many influential saaV
zena have proposed to unite with them in getting
up a "Benefit for Kossuth and the Hungarian
Refugees," aad the meeting to carry into effect tho
design will be held at the Mercer House, corner
of Mercer and Broome sts on Tuesday next, the
?2-th inst, at 7 o clock in the evening. Annexed
we give the letter from Mary P. Brown above re?
ferred to:
Chii.i.koTiia, Jci.v 18, IUI.
My Dear Coumt and Counteu l)emb%iuki.
I wrote to you both from Washington City af?
ter I had received the little letter from the Count,
but since then I have not had a line from either
of you. I often think of you and feel desirous of
knowing how you are doing, and if you have suc?
ceeded in your business, snd I sincerely hope
that you will write to me and not only tell mo
everything that concerns yourselves, but ail that
you can iniorm me ol the ?ov. Kossuth, and your
unfortunate exiled countrymen. Perhaps it will
five you pleasure to know that I have received a
etter from Mr. ShaufHer, Rebec Constantinople,
who informs me that Madame Wagner, the lady
who brought the Countess Emily D to our house,
and who returned to Vienna to bring to Kossuth
his children, has returned to Turkey, and is now at
Kutahia with Kossuth aad his family. The Aus
trians had liberated tbe children before Madame
Wagner reached there, and had given permission
for them and their tutor to leave Austria if any
body would pay their expenses to Turkey.?
Madame Wagner hearing this was rejoiced, and ist
disguise she lound bar way to where tbe tutor
and children were staying, and gave to the tutor
the money that Kossuth bad famished her with
for that purpose; snd as a publi: conveyance
won Id in a few days be ready to take them down
to the Danube, they were to be on board ia time.
Madame Wagner kept herself in strict disguise,
as a high reward was offered by the A us tn aas to
any one who would capture her, as tney bad
learned that it was she who had gone in sear ok
of Madame Kossuth in the interior of Hungary,
in the midst of those vast pasture lands inhabited
only by the pasturers and their horned cattle, and
where, after a long search, she found her; aad
after encountering unheard of difficulties, that
heroic lady passed, with her precious charge, all
the Austrian soldiers, aad brought in safety
Madame Kossuth to her atUieted husband.?
But this, my dear friends I need not dwell on, as
you were at Shumla and witnessed their arrival.
But I will now return to the children and Madame
Wagner in Vienna. After she had arranged it
that they should embark in the Danube steamer,
she fell ill in a private boarding bouse | she had
chills and fevers with spitting blood The day
after she took ill, while she was laying la bod and
a friend of hers sitting beside her. s strange lady
entered her room and addressed her, say mg,
" How do you do, Mada?o W aguer I I MX very
