Kossuth, the graafc Hungarian patriot, { died in the last week of March at Turin, ■whither he retired many years ago in high dudgeon with his fellow countrymen for having accepted the rule of the Hapaburgs. The naws of his death caused an immense sensation throughout Hungary, and by re-action throughout Austria as well, for if the memory of Kossuth was revered in the former kingdom it waa detested as strongly in the more ancient part of the empire. Kos-. suth had rather lost caste in England when it came to be recognised that he was little better than an irreconcilable, though he pl%yed his part in 1848 with the courage of a hero and the virtues of a patriot. Hungary asked that Kossuth's body should be buried in his own land, and permission was granted. The prelimiaary funeral proceeding at Turin was on a large scale, the Italian King and nation having beforehand made manifestations of sympathy and courtesy. A large body of students from Beda Pesth travelled to Turin to take part, and delegates were present from various parts of Hungary, ias well as delegates from the Hungarian } Parliament. Ac the railway station, the mayor 'of Turin handed over the body to the deputy-mayor of Buda, and the repre sentative of the Hungarian Diet exprsssed the profound gratitude of Hungary to i wards Italy and " her glorious King " for having given a second fatherland to j Kossufch. In the coarse of the day the Hungarian students gave further expres sion to this feeling by decorating with flowers the statae of Victor Emmanuel and the local memorials of Cavonr and Garibaldi. The Hungarians were much excited at the patriot's death, and miles of black draperies and mourning were to be seen in every city and town. The students in Buda ordered all the theatres to be closed and attempted to put their edict into force. The riff-raff taking advantage of the excitement plundered the shops, and there were numerous collisions with the police. lHad it not been for a timely communication from Kossuth's family there is no knowing what turn affairs would have taken. An awkward difficulty arose then. The Catholic clergy are bound to conduct the service, but after consulting the Vatican the primate de clared that the church could do nothing for a Protestant and a Freemason.
