A strange murder has been committed near Daventry . An old woman named Pinckard , left alone in her cottage by her husband and son , was found dead by a passer by . A piece of tape was tied loosely round her neck , and fastened to a small braes hook , used to suspend the lookingglass upon . The evidence , as far as it has gone , implicates the wife of the murdered woman's son ; and the motive supposed to have actuated the deed is that & certain sum of money would come to the son after his mother's death .

      The Council of the National Parliamentary Reform Association met last " Wednesday , and unanimously adopted the following address to Kossuth : —

      TO LOUIS KOSSIJTH . " Yotjb Excellency , —The Council of the National Parliamentary Reform Association offer you their sincere and cordial congratulations on your safe arrival in this country . We esteem our nation honoured by your presence . Britain has often sheltered those whom tyranny had proscribed for their virtues ; but , in our apprehension , has never received a more illustrious or welcome visitant . Whilst you remain on our shores you will be the People ' s Quest ; and , when you leave them for that land where a great and generous nation waits to echo the shout of welcome that now ascends . " rom the millions of these islands , you will be followed by our heartfelt aspirations for your happiness amongst our honoured brethren of the Western World .

      " We , and the multitudes of British Reformers whom we represent , have watched your career with the liveliest interest ; we have rejoiced in your successes , we have lamented your disasters ; but , above all , we have admired the integrity , the wisdom , and the fortitude you have undeviatingly displayed thiough a long and perilous struggle for your country ' s rights . "In unison with every friend of justice and chilization , we have been indignant at the cruelty and vindictivenesa of the influences which enforced the detention of your person when the conflict was , for the time , decided . But this detention , while it has rendered infamous those at whose instance it was prolonged , has added to the glory of Kossuth , by demonstrating that he knew how to endure as well a 3 to contend for the noblest cause in which man can either combat or suffer .

      " Enjoying ourselves a large measure of freedom , we sympathize with all who labour to achieve their just political rights . What our ancestors did you have nobly striven to do . We venerate their memory , and regard you and your bruve compatriots as their kindred . The inheritance which those ancestors bequeathed to us is precious ; and we are endeavouring to show ourselves worthy of" it by pressing on to the lull realization of the liberty of which they proclaimed the principle and laid deep the foundation . " In thus acting cur only motive is an earnest desire for human well being , embracing first our fellow countrymen , but not confined within the narrow boundary of our own land .

      " Would you learn the object , which , as an association , we have in view ? It ia to give full scope to a free and authoritative expretmiuii of the popular feeling and expression , that our Government may rest upon the intelligence nnd will of the people . " In this righteous object we have a firm belief that we shall succeed . When this peaceful triumph tihaiU have been gained , the time will have arrived when the sympathy with which the masses of our people ulrcady share the hopes , the fears , the gladness , and the Borrow of their brethren throughout the world will no longer be suppressed in the Legislature or misrepresented by official diplomacy , but will make itself heard in tunes that ahull neither be lniBinlcrnreted nor disregarded .

      " At whatever time , and by whatever means it shall pleuse Providence to raise your country from its temporary prostration to the possession of freedom and nationality , we feel confident Unit a people ' s gratitude will be yours . We also feel confident that your future fame is milc ; and that mankind , tracing the results of your couurtels , your exertions , ami your Bufferings , will consecrate the iiiune of IsLossul . h , and transmit it to line latest posterity as that of the . Liberator of 11 angary" On behalf of the Council of the Association , " JouiiiJA Wai . mhi . hy , President . "

      Wo tuko this uh an earnest that in future the grout Liberal party will not be no indifferent on foreign ulluirti , ho easily gulled by liberal Npeechen , and m > completely the du ]> o of " Oflieial Diiiloniiu-y . " JU > uin Kossutli might hnvo been mill ( . Governor of un independent Hungary , instead of tui exile , had KngliHh Liberals done their duty . The latent new . s from Southampton , tbe headquiuteiH of information about KoskuIIi , in that he will positively arrive in the Madrid , which in due on 1 ' riduy the 24 lh , but which will iuohL likely make the port of iSoutlmuiptoii on the ' 2 ; 5 rd . The Indus will leave ( Gibraltar later than the Madrid , und roach . Southampton earlier ; ho that next week we nhall huvo poHitive news of KobhuiIl ' h departure . ( Jrout

      indignation is everywhere expressed at the conduct of the Times in this matter . It is humiliating to England that her leading journal should be in the hands of men with Austrian hearts , Austrian sympathies , and Austrian opinions . But a Ministerial journal could not be otherwise and remain in harmony with the Foreign-roffice . A large and influential meeting was held by the men of Southwark , yesterday , under the presidency of the High Bailiff of the borough , Mr . Pritchard ; an address to Kossuth . was unanimously adopted , and it was resolved to set on foot a Kossuth Fund .

      The Ministerial crisis in France continues . According to the Constituteonnel , no one has been sent for , no one consulted , no one solicited to form a Ministry by M . Bonaparte . The course he intends to take is to draw up a message , which will be read at the approaching meeting of the Assembly , laying down the basis of a new policy . " It is not for us to predict , " says the journal of Dr . Veron , " what the message will contain ; we nevertheless think that we can give an exact indication on two very

      important points of the Presidential programme . These two points , to which we shall confine ourselves , are as follows : —First , the President will lay down in very plain terms , as one of the bases of his policy , the complete repeal of the law of May 31 . Secondly , he will express with no less firmness his irrevocable resolution to maintain the policy of order , of conservatism , and of authority , inaugurated on the 10 th of December , and not to make any concession to anarchical ideas , under whatever standard they may be , and whatever name may authorize them . "

      The Presse , which never forgets Leon Faucher , has the following pointed sentences . " Le President reflechira et Jle ' chira —( the President will reflect and give way ) . Such are the terms in which M . Leon Faucher characterized and summed up the ministerial crisis before going to St . Cloud on Tuesday , where the President showed that il avait rejtichi et qu'il riavait pas fle ' chi , that he had reflected , but had not given way . Nevertheless M . Leon Faucher again raises his head , and holds the same language ; he pretends that , in spite of the lines inserted in

      the Moniteur announcing that the resignations of the Ministers and of M . Carlier had been accepted , the Ministers will be requestedrby the President to withdraw their resignations . M . Leon Faucher founded this hope on the disturbances which have broken out at Sancerre , the cause of which was the ariest of a discharged mayor of the commune of Precy . The hope which M . Leon Faucher allowed to appear must be a ray of light for democracy , the triumph of which cannot take place but by patience and a scrupulous respect for legality . "

      The disturbanct s at Sancerre , in Le Cher , have been rather serious arid have lasted two days . The Moniteur concludes its exaggerated account of the suppression of disorder in these words , "The Governmenth : < s wished to dare it to entertain the ideaof again raising its head . " This is the language of apetlagogue , not a statesman—a rival , not a master .

      Mails from the East arrived yesterday with letters , up to the date-tii-piember 17 . The single point of interest in the India news is , that on the l / 5 tli of August Sooraj ool Moolk completed the payment of h-ilf the Nizam ' s debt to the East India Company . Letters from Alexandria of October 8 state that Abbas Pacha has consented , ui . the instance of Jiir Stratford Canning , to solicit the permission of the Porte to construct the Alexandria and Cairo railway . This being done , siin ^ uine people say that no further opposition will be offered to the undertaking .

      Papers dated August ' I'l have arrived from the Cape . The tidings are most disastrous . Devastations along a line of oOO miles from above Graham's Town to the Orange river ; farmsteads burnt , cattle captured , murders committed , ( lisaflection among the Boers—aiul quiet in British Itaffraria . Nothing is said of the movements of the' troops , li is understood that tSir Harry Smith is authorized to draw reinforcements from the . Mauritius , Bombay , and St . Helena . Dr . Ciutzlull , a missionary of some renown , died in Hong Kong on the Dili of August , having just completed his 48 t . h year . He was by birth 11 Pomeranian . For some years he ha . s ceased to call himself a missionary , and he died in office as Chinese secretary to the Supcriutendeney . Still we lear n that lie continued to give away bibles , and exhort the Chinese to become Christians , to the last . He was a remarkable instance of the union of sincere spiritual disinterestedness with a never-failing eye to the " main chance . " Mr . C . It . Weld has written to the Times , dating his letter , " Koyul Society , iSomei . set-house , Oetober 17 , " to assure the public that Sir John Franklin was not provided with any balloons , and that , consequently , the balloon found in Gloucestershire was sent up l » y some cruel person bent 011 hoaxing tin ; public . It in Haid ( lie Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty , at a board held 011 Thursday , decided on sending aiiotlu r expedition , early in the ensuing 1 ear , to make further search for Ciotaui Sir John Krunklin , the gallant officers and crews , of the Krrbus and Terror , the missing discovery ships " W ki . com f . to K .
