Appeal by M. Kossuth. —A Standard telegram states that a great sensation has been produced at Pesth by an appeal addressed by M. Kossuth to the Hungarian nation, whom he incites by enthusiastic words to take up arms with the Turks against the common enemy, Russia.

Lynch Law in Arkansas. —A New York despatch says that a negro confined in Hamburg prison, Arkansas, on a charge of ravishing and murdering a little girl, was taken out of his cell by a mob, and carried four miles away from the town, where he was chained to a green sapling and burnt to death. Those attached sisters Emmeline and Hermione agreed at once to convert their daily rides into a source of intellectual enjoyment and improvement, instead of making them an occasion of frivolous gossip about parties, amusements, the milliner’s art, and butterfly novels. Between canters they repeat to each other alternately passages from their favourite poets and philosophers, both home and foreign ; and now and again they rein up their steeds beneath the stately tree's and read translations of some of, the choicest examples of melody, diction, and profundity. 1 *
