HUNGARY. From Hungary we learn that fresh condemnations arc taking place, and no fewer thnn 15 additional executions, at AracI, arc threatened daily. The valedictory address of Kossuth to his countrymen, written at Orsova, has j been published. It is written in his most j enthusiastic poctical style, lie alludes to Georgey as follows: "The ingrate whona , thou hast fastened with thy abundance, rose against the?traitor to his mother? nnrl rUafrni'txl flmn Thnn line/ been betrayed!

Uursc him, Magyars! Curse the breast that did not dry up before it gave him nurture!" General 11 *ynau is carrying on his unrelenting crucliies, unchecked by higher authority. The Jews at Pesth are once more threatened with violence, unless they pay up the contributions demanded, which seems to be beyond their power. There appears no present probability of vne suite 01 seige at Vienna being raised. The presence of the English naval forces at the Dardanelles, ana the hourly expected arrival of the French fleet, occasion some excitement at Constantinople, and the Emperor of Russia continues to hovr not a little irritation at the^dccisive attitude taken by fiance and England.?

The necessity nnd propriety of thi? step as the only satisfactory and thoiough method of obtaining the requisite information, nnd suggesting the needful reforms, have been too often dwelt upon to need repetition, Those who advocate, and those who oppose the establishment of a Penitentiary must both concur in the propriety of "looking before thev leap"?and the cc iGcation of tho whole mass of Statutes in to a simple, intelligible and effective system, may possibly render the resort to such an establishment unnecessary. We advocate the Penitentiary now not as a matter of choice, but (under the existing state of things) as a matter of necessity. If by the mode suggested our Criminal Code could be so revised and amended as to obviate that necessity, our people would rejoice?for the sight of a Penitentiary within their limits would not be p easant to their eyes; but if tbis cannot be, no t7 _I i-i J micic *"{/c'.iti/n DI1UU1U blttUU 1U the way of its establishment.

For a long time past the Americans have wished to possess* a station in the Mediterranean, and have fieveral times made propositions both to the Greek Government and to Ottoman Porte to purchase *e er two ** port* ef #ntry obi) roadstead. Tlie Government of the Union feci, like all other maritime powers, that henceforward nil great naral ques tions will l)? decided in the Mediterranean, and therefore it wishes a fixed position there. In this project the United 9tat?s are sustained by Russia, who is j aware that a maratime alliance with the j Americans would be to her in case of war 1 with England. Sone day, us the price ' of this alliance, the cabinet of i5>t Peters- j burg will cede to them some fragments snatched from Turkey in the niidst of the Greek insurrection. There is nothing so persevering as the policy of the successors ?f Catharine, the most intimate relations exist between them and j United States of America.

The rumor that seven of the slave States have resolved to secede, in the event of the passage of the Proviso, has been repeated so often, within the few days past, and by men who arc in a position to know what, thev nro tnlkinrr about. that the public mind is made uneasy and excited. Who dares to calculate the mighty revolution our trade and commerce would have to undergo, in the even' of such a calamity ? This is the first consequence considered by men who deal in cotton and corn?its political results a?c icii 10 uie masses, iess unuer me mnucnce j of dollars and cents. The N. Y.

Tlie re .suit proved them false prophets then; we trust it will do so now.' M IS C ELL A NEOUS. A Daookk Constitution.?According to Lord Cloncurry, there were (wheth; er there be now or not) those who looked upon the revenge of the dagger as c charter right of the Constitution.

'Against I that risk,' exclaimed Count Pahlcn, who I was present, 'we have a safeguard.? | Here is the Constitution of Russia;' and, j starting up, lie closed the argument by ' drawing a dagger from his pocket, and flinging it upon the table with an earnestness and energy that left 110 doubt of his personal willingness to put that sharp wiiauiuiiviiui icuiruy in operation, HllOUltl a wrong requiring it arise within its cognisance."
