The Dorset County Chronicle boasts of the Tories success, and asserts that the balance of numbers: in favour of the good old cause of the Constitution is increasing day by day, and the majority now obtained in the revision alone considerably exceed 300. The Poor Law Amendment Act has now had a year's probation, and, although the period which has elapsed has been insufficient to set the new system com pletely at work, yet enough has been done to enable us to anticipate very favourable results from its operation, when it shall have become fully developed ; we are indeed in clined to believe, that if only as mu6h benefit were to be ul timately effected over the whole country as has already in certain districts been produced, we should have reason to view the Act as one of the most important which has of late oocupied the attention of the Legislature.—Oxford Journal. On Monday evening last, the Portreeve of Yeovil proceeded to sell by auction, at the Mermaid Inn, the whole of the property belonging to the Corporation of that town. A great number of the inhabitants were assembled, among whom were Mr. Greenbam and Mr. Wellington (two of the burgesses), who protested against the sale, and cautioning the auctioneer not to put it up. The Port reeve, however, persisted, and the whole property (which is affirmed to be worth 25,0001.), was put up in one lot, and knocked down to Mr. William Jennings, for the sum of 2,6lol.—Plymouth Journal. On Thursday morning, a curious circumstance oc curred in the Tyne, at North Shields. A person in the employ of Messrs. Cornforth, Carr, and Co., North Shields, while busy with his usual occupation on the Lowlights shore, observed an unusual ripple in the water, when to his astonishment he discovered a large cod fish, about three feet long, which having attempted to swallow a sole, about fifteen inches long, and not being able either to swallow or eject it, had, in its agony, made towards the shore, and was the occasion of its being taken.—York Courant. Between 1701, when there was no machinery, and 1833, when machinery had attained to its present height, the value of the British cotton trade for one year had in creased from the inconsiderable amount of 20,0001. to the immense sum of 18,413,0001. _ _ _ A violent conflagration broke out on the 29th ult. ,n the hamlet of Victoire, in the Manche, and burnt for 43 hours, consuming houses, barns, and buildings, together with the farming stock and furniture, to an extent of 600 feet. Three persons were so dangerously injured that two of them are not expected to recover. The manor of Aston Cantlin, in Warwickshire, was held of the King in capite, by the service of find ing a foot soldier with a bow without a string, with a helmet or cap, for 40 days, as often as there shall be a war in Wales. The CROPS.—The farmers in the Lower Ward of Renfrewshire have suffered from the inclemency of the the weather. In Kilmacolm parish the grain cut presents a lamentable appearance : it is growing in the sheaf, and a great deal of it will be totally useless if the weather does not take up,—what is uncut has been also greatly injured. Round Port-Glasgow, Greenock, Gourock, and Innerkip, the crops present the same dismal aspect.—GlasgowCourier. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, OCT. B.—The Market has been more calm than any day during the pre ceding week. 2,000 ba g s have been sold, the greater part American ; 300 of which have been taken for exportation. Although the business has been limited, the Market shows no symptoms of receding. A fine specimen of that rare bird, the honey buz zard, Falco Apivorus (Linn.), was shot a few days ago by Mr. W. Thompson, of the Bleach-green, near Brandon, and has been sent to Mr. W. Proctor, of this city, for pre servation. The bird was shot on the wing, and when Mr. T. went to pick it up, to his surprise he found that the crop or stomach had burst with the fall, and hundreds of wasps and their larval were laying on the ground. The length of this bird, from the bill to the end of the tail, is 22 inches, and the wings, when expanded, are 49 inches from tip to tip. There are but few instances of this bird, which is a native of eastern climes, having been shot in England. —Durham Advertiser. _ _ t is intended to put Lord Brougham in nomination Iu January next, for the office of President of the South wark Literary S oc i e t y , th e gen tl eman a t p resen t h o ldi ng nowoffice intendi ng t o res i gn it.

About 25 years since, a M. Busine caused the subterranean entrance to an old tower, which formed a part of the ancient wall of the city, to be hermetically closed up. After the lapse of a quarter of a century the mephitic gas which had formed there, suddenly exploded through the chimney of the dining room above, and Madame Busine had her leg blown off. Had the acci dent occurred an hour earlier or later the whole family must have perished. MORE INCENDIARY FIRES IN SUSSEX.—On Monday night last two fires occurred within three or four miles of Petworth, and there appears to be no doubt that they were caused by the act of an incendiary, and as the fires were within a mile of each other. The one consumed a barn (containing a quantity of unthrashed oats, and some wattles) and a shed, in the parish of Lodsworth, the property of Anthony Hollist, Esq. A reward of 200/. is offered for the discovery of the offender or offenders. By the other fire, a wheat-rick, the property of Mr. Farhall, of River, was totally destroyed. On the same night another fire oc curred at Newick, on .a farm in the occupation of Mr. Ellis, which there is no reason to doubt was also the act of an incendiary, by whiph a stack of wheat, containing 27 loads, was entirely consumed.—Sussex Advertiser. BALLOONING.—On Tuesday morning, about four o'clock, as a man in the employ of Mr. Simons, of Little Lees Hall, was going to his work, be was dreadfully alarmed by seeing a balloon - on the farm ;he ran to his master, exclaiming, " Master, master! there's a cloud fell out of the sky !" On Mr. Simons going to examine this phenomenon, he found that the balloon was safely an chored, and Mr. Green so fast asleep in the car that he was awakened with some difficulty. The venturous aeronaut had ascended the preceding afternoon from Hil lingdon, near Uxbridge, accompanied by a gentleman, whom he landed at Epping. Mr. Simons invited Mr. G. to his house, and on Wednesday morning he departed from Lon don.—Essex Standard. The towns of Weymouth and Calne were last week lighted for the first time with gas. At the latter place it was considered an event of so much importance that the principal inhabitants dined together upon the occasion, when the Chairman was deputed to light the first public lamp, which he did surrounded by an assemblage of 2,000 people, amidst ringing of bells, and every other possible de monstration of joy. One of the most noble instances of munificent pa tronage of genius is to be found in the present of one thou sand pounds—equal to five times that sum in the present day—by the Earl of Southampton to Shakspeare, to enable him to purchase in the decline of life " New Place," at Stafford, when he was about to retire from the metropolis. It has long been a matter of regret to Scotsmen when abroad to hear the allusions made to the want of public spirit which prevents the completion of our modern Acropolis. A patriotic Highland chief has suggested a mode of removing this stigma. He proposes that each county in Scotland should finish a pillar of those actually erected, with the corresponding walls ; or take such a share in the undertaking as professional architects should allot to each shire respectively. The gentleman in ques tion, we hear, is ready with his own subscription of 501., and many others would doubtless follow his example. The subject is deserving of notice.—Edinburgh Observer. A negro, on being asked if he was not sorry for his master's death, replied, " No, massa hab plenty of people in England to be sorry for him ; him no want poor nigger to be sorry for him." Samuel Aplin, who for upwards of half a century has performed the perilous task of oiling the vane on the summit of the spire of Salisbury cathedral, has, owing to age and infirmity, relinquished his high office. He was pro verbially called at Salisbury " the Head of the Church," from being so often at its top. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY A FEMALE.—Between eight and nine o'clock on Thursday night, a young female of considerable personal attractions, not more than 18 years of age, was brought into the Westminster Hospital in a state of the greatest agony, having swallowed poison. The usual antidotes were promptly administered, and some slight hope is entertained of her ultimate recovery. The history of this wretched !girl gives a most forcible picture of the extreme misery of a life of prostitution. She had been in • veigled at the age of 16 from her parents, and after a short residence in London was abandoned by her seducer, and left in a state of complete destitution. Being ashamed to return home, she embraced the precarious existence afforded by a life of prostitution, and a few weeks since became acquainted with a corporal in the Scotch Fusileer Guards, for whom she evinced the greatest attachment. On Thursday evening they quarrelled, and directly afterwards she repaired to her lodgings, and attempted self-destruction. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1835. TOPLITZ, SEPT. 29. (From a Morning Paper.) This being the day announced for laying the first stone ' of the Russian monument on the battle field of Culm, Tc plitz was stirring at the earliest dawn, and the innumerable vehicles collected from every part of the country began to get in motion, with the hope of securing a good place to witness a ceremony from which so much was expected. Two or three squadrons of Lancers drew up in the main street, and 200 led horses, some of them with superb hous ings, and all intended for the.service of the Court on the ground, were inspected in the grand place of the Chateau, and then sent in advance to be in readiness when required. The bustle of the little town can only be compared to that of one of the villages on the Ascot road during the race week ; and I should not exaggerate a great deal if I were to say the chain of carriages, horsemen, and pedestrians ex tended in a line equally prolonged. The weather was delight ful, and the highway free from dust in consequence of a re freshing shower which fell during the night, so that nothing in terfered with the full enjoyment of the people. On reaching the place selected for the monument, we found a regiment of Lancers, and two regiments of infantry, one of them called Wellington," in honour of our Duke, and three tents with a grand centre pavilion, and a Roman Catholic Clergyman, and his assistants in waiting, it bein g usual on simila r occa sions that a religiou s o ff er i ng s h ou ld consecrate the place. The Lancers formed one side of a square, and the infantry two others, the fourth being left open for the Imperial and Princely company. Seven pieces of artillery were stationed behind the Lancers. The wooden model of the monument, which I have described in a prior letter, was now fully dis played, the scaffolding being removed, and the grand stone platform, on which the real one is to rest, was finished, and the altars for the Church service laid at one side, a space being left in the centre for the stone, which the Emperor was to place. At ten o'clock a cloud of dust and the rattling of wheels announced that the Royal personages were near at hand, and in a few minutes the Imperial carriages, each drawn by six proud horses, dashed in with unceasing rapidity, and set down their distinguished company, the proces sion being closed by that of the Emperor of Austria, who had with him the Emperor and Empress of Rus sia, as well as his own Empress. The first carriage contained the Archduke Charles and his son and daugh ter, the second one the Dukes Francis and John, the third the three Princes of Prussia, the fourth the Arch duke Michael, brother of the Emperor of Russia, the fifth the Duke of Cumberland and the Marquis of Douro, the sixth the King and co-Regent of Saxony, seventh the Duke of Weimar, eighth Prince Frederick of Holland. In short, every personage at Court, with all the members of the fa. mily drove up in succession, the gentlemen being all set out in full uniform, and wearing their several crosses and orders, and the ladies being in morning dresses of the most varied and expensive descriptions. The old King of Prussia, with General Kleist, who assisted to win the battle, was in the last carriage, before that of the Em perors. The crowd formed in the most perfect order crt each side of the road as the carriages passed, but there was no cheering even for the Emperor, and the curiosity of the people seemed to await one particular person—namely, the Emperor of Russia, and an unceasing murmur was heard all round of " Where is the Kaiser von Russland?" The great personages saluted the people, who all remained uncovered as they passed, and the younger brother of the Emperor of Austria afforded me as much amuse ment by his convulsive and perpetual movement of his band to his hat—the frequent usage of returning the courtesy of the people having given him a habit which is almost in voluntary. His sight appears to be bad, and his eyes are generally cast down, but the right hand is working up and down like the piston of a steam-engine, in order that he may be assured that no one's salute is unreturned. The Court was more numerous than on any former occasion, and the line of carriages, filled by superbly dressed cavaliers and ladies, surpassed many of the most gorgeous displays of modern times, and far exceeded even the best day of its late rival at Kalisch. of Russia and the Prince Metternich ; for them every eye was searching, and on them only I had my attention fixed, the one for what he will be, the other for what he has been. The Emperor of Russia is a magnificent man—l never saw t finer—well made, stout limbed, broad shouldered, acting a Hercules as well as an Apollo. His face is full of beauty md expression, with enough of hauteur about it to announce 'iis rank. His eyes are good, and his nose Roman, and if his small mustachios, which are light-coloured, were darker, he would be also an Adonis. The light hair and pale mus tachios are the only blemish to his countenance. He is partially bald, but his forehead is high and commanding ; and while with a square cocked hat pressed over his brow he may occasionally look too austere, the moment he is un covered a milder character is seen, and if there be any truth in phrenology, his forehead denotes benevolence more than cruelty. Indeed the whole expression fqrms a marked con trast to that of the Archduke Michael, who was constantly with him, and gave me an opportunity of comparing them. The latter looks scornful and despotic, and shows how much two persons of the same family, very like each other in per son and in feature, may .differ in the expression which pro ceeds from the soul, and indicates the character. I had the pleasure of examining the Prince Metternich's countenance for several minutes, and the result is one cf satisfaction. He is now advanced in years, and his face begins to show the marks of time ; but the expression is that of mildness and reflection—of thought—of grief—of serious steady good sense. His eye is small, and often restless, and speaks something of the daring mind which is within ; but the yrevalent . expression is that of patient, though not sluggish attention—of one who has seen much and practised much, and found how empty all human power was, and sought to be at ease, and make those about him happy. His white hair adds to the reverence of his appearance, and he looked to me like a sage who mixed up philosophy with his politics. I saw him speaking with the same composure to the Emperors and the Em presses as to the minor personages of the Court, and believe that if Nature has blessed him with a very shrewd intellect, she has also given him a very good heart. The King of Prussia looked like a gallant vete- ran, and felt, I have no doubt, proud of the recollection of that battle-field, for it was to his presence of mind that the victory was owing, as I shall presently show when I come to speak of the day, of the 30th of August, 1813. My old friend Corporal Trim was at his post, and I saw with delight the Archduke Charles go up and shake him by the hand, and call him companion in arms, and the old fellow successively presented to the Emperors and their Em presses. It was delicious to behold the hearty veteran dressed out in his best attire, rattan in hand, and not a the i s f p e a c n k i t r o n n beb bar r e e fromn was th b r n o s o t t- t h h e r e a l n g t ohim, i w t h n , b i s s t a h n a d n i d n g palm turned out, to his hat, and answering all the ques tions put to him as if he were before a court-martial. In vain, the Empress smiled and the Emperor laughed, and the Archduke and King of Prussia familiarly led him on— no, not a word but ya or nein, and the same dry tale told invariably in the same manner. He was equally grave with the minor fry of the suite, and the youngest boy could get nothing beyond the starched look and stern response. The old fellow was all this time as proud as possible, and his heart was melting, and if it was not against the pride of a soldier, he would have wept for joy, but I saw him work his bluff face into iron ruggedness, to pass a drill severer than any he went through inhis youth. His pretty cottage attracted the Empress of Russia's notice, and the King of Prussia hav ing proposed to look at it, the old boy shouldered his cane, and led the way as if he headed a storming party. The whole of the Sovereigns and their Queens examined the cottage in detail, and I have no doubt left poor Trim sub stantial marks of their bounty. It will a lucky day for him and for his son, who is a Captain in the regiment of which he was a corporal, as I heard the Archduke Charles recom mend them both. As soon as the Imperial party arrived, the grand Aus trian band played the Russian national anthem, and as they entered the square the military presented arms, and the cannon gave a salute. Both the Empresses and the Prin cess of Lignitz (wife of the King of Prussia), attended by all their courtly dames, took possession of the pavilion, and the Princes, Knights, Generals, and other officers ranged themselves around them, while the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of Russia, the King - of Prussia, and Prince Metternich advanced to the platform, and then the ceremony of high mass was performed, the great per sonages being uncovered and kneeling down at those parts where custom prescribes. The ceremony, like all those of the Roman Catholic Church, was most affecting, and what between the solemn chaunting of the priests, the smoke of the incense, the salutation of the military, added to the grouping of the distinguished company, Emperors and Kings in the foreground, Empresses, Queen, Princes, and Princesses in the . second line, and the still immense multitude in the rear, the mind was strongly impressed with the sublimity of the scene ; and I am sure, if one only con siders the nature of Divine Worship, celebrated in the open air, with all the attendant pomp of several Courts united, and the highest of human beings bowing down before the altar of God, and not a word heard but the solemn voice of the priest, with thousands upon thousands uncovered, all in silent prayer, I am sure my description will not be considered as overcharged, particularly at the most sublime parts of the service, when the Host was elevated, and every bead bent, and the cannon sent forth their flames, and the troops, with their successive volleys honoured the Almighty Being, in whose name the sacrifice, as Roman Catholics call it, was offered. _ The mass having been concluded, the three Sovereigns, still accompanied by Prince Metternich, who alone had the honour of being placed on an equality with them, deposited in a stone, hollowed out for the occasion, a quantity of medals and coins and a written description on parchment, attested by each of them of the event, which was immediately soldered np, and put into its place in the centre of the platform, and the two Em perors then embraced and kissed each other, and both em braced and kissed the King of Prussia, and the two Em presses advancing from the pavilion, standing by the altar, repeated the same courtesy, and, after another discharge of artillery and musketry, the ceremony of laying the first stone of the monument was concluded. I have before de scribed the plan and the nature of the inscription, and I think now, having seen the model fully displayed, that it is very handsome, and as a work of art surpasses the trophies erected to the other parties in the battle. The spot se lected is an English mile removed from the Austrian and Russian monuments, but it has been chosen because there the Russian General Osterman lost his right arm. It will be of mock bronze, about 30 feet in height, surmounted by a graceful figure of Fame, who records on a shield the date of the achievement. The distinguished company now broke up, and again entering their carriages, proceeded to one of the beauti ful hills, forming part of the field of baile, where a triumphal arch, with a lion rampant, and an inscription signifying that he protected those who were dear to him, was built across the road in honour of the The King of Prussia, the Archduke Charles, and Gene ral Kleist, then from the platform of the monument ex plained the course of the battle which had been fought there in 1813, and was rendered so remarkable by the cap ture of Vandarntrie and the greater part of his army. The platform governed the whole of the surrounding country, and rendered the narration from the actors in the contest highly interesting. Culm is nearly at the foot of the great range of mountains which cross Bohemia from west to east, and nothing can be more picturesque than their several un dulations—some bare rock, others covered with extensive forests, villages, or ruins of castles peeping through all. The chain forms the northern barrier of the vale of Top litz, but this charming valley is broken by a multitude of lesser hills, on one side of which is the chapel of Culm, where Vandamme had his head-quarters, and all of which were made important on the eventful day. After the defeat of. Dresden the allied army, which was completely dispersed, commenced—according to the order previously given in case of a reserve, to concentrate at Toplitz—in separate bodies, to make out the way, and Napoleon, who, intending following up his blow, was deter mined to fall upon it with all the masses he could assemble, and instructions were given to Macdonald, St. Cyr, and Vandamme, to enter Bohemia at different points, and re unite at Toplitz on Monday, the 31st of August, and he promised that he who should be first at Prague should have the kingdom of Bohemia. Vandamme, who had under him 40,000 men in an entrenched camp at Pirn, flattered by his vanity, and anxious to win the prize, set himself in. motion, and after reaching the village of Nculendorf, on the verge of the mountain, where he had been ordered to wait the combined movement till Monday, and finding that the only force in the valley was that of the Russian Impe rial Guard, 8,000 men, commanded by General Osterman, committed the great folly of descending on the Friday previous from his inaccessible position. The two Em perors and the King of Prussia, then at Toplitz, ascended the rock called the Schlossberg, from whence the whole plain can be surveyed, and there savt with alarm the movement of the French ; and the two former, find ing that the first trial was against the Russians, set off in affright to Prague ; but the King of Prussia, an old soldier, who knew that the fate of his kingdom was sealed if the day was lost, remained, determined to see it out. In the mean time Vandamme, with his host of 40,000 men, pushed Os terman, with his small band of 8,000, first from the village of Culm, and then beyond that of Brisen, both of which were resolutely defended ; but fancying that the Russian band was but the van-guard of the allied army, which was in position at Toplitz, he too cautiously advanced, and re frained from finishing the affair. Two grand faults being committed by him—first, in descending before the general movement was to take place ; and secondly, when having done so, not annihilatino. what he saw before him, and ad vancing to Prague, which it since appears he could have done. The Russian guard, after being driven out of Brisen, began to break, and some Cossacks who were with it fairly ran away ; but the King of Prussia, with great decision, brought up about 2,000 men, whom he got together, and drawing them up in a line on a hill (Wachtelhugel) which crosses the plain, like a camel's back, ordered them to fire on the Cossacks if they did not return and support their com rades. In this way the rout was stopped ; and the 2,000 men advancing to the aid of the Russians, Vandamme was more confirmed than before that a main body was at the other side of the hills. In the meantime the garrison of There usenstad, a fortress about six miles from the ground, ad vanced to the succour of the Russians ; and a re p ...intent of dragoons, approaching over the hill' unobserved, charged and carried a battery of twelve guns, which Vandamme had established on his extreme left, and which cut up the Rus sians by a transverse fire of grape. The Colonel of Dra goons was impelled to this by the King of Prussia, who pointed out the facility of a surprise, and felt that the bat tery would be fatal in the end. The first day's battle finished by Osterman holding good his ground in the village of Soboghleben. Imperial visitors, and then the Emperors and the Princes and their suite took possession of the horses, which, as I have stated, were sent from the Emperor's stables early in the morning. Three tents gaily decorated with the colours of the three nations were spread in this field, and the Em presses and the ladies of their suite reposed for a few mi nutes and took refreshment in them. They were soon, however, again in motion, and we, who had gone on before to secure places at Culm, saw the long line wind slowly up the hill ; and the Emperor of Austria setting the example, as they approached the spot every one dismounted - from their horses or descended from their carriages, and each Empe ror leading his Empress, and the King of Prussia supported by his sons, with the whole bevy of Lords and Ladies, walked on the high road under an arch of military tro phies, till they came to the place where the large Austrian monument to the memory of General Colerodo. as I have previously described, is situated. Here I had the best possible opportunity of seeing each and every one in detail, as the crowd had been left far behind, and all passed without being pressed upon in review before me. The Emperor of Austria, wearing a white uniform, with red pantaloons and a crimson scarf, led the Empress, who was dressed in a white muslin (I suppose, not being learned in millinery) over a blue slip ; and the Emperor of Russia in dark green uniform, with white breeches and large dragoon boots, led his Empress, who wore white over rose colour ; and the King of Prussia in blue, with a blue scarf, advanced with .Prince Metternich, who wore all dark green, and scarf of the same colour, Hessian boots, and a cocked hat with a gold fringed border. They were tbllowed by the princely retinue in that variety of uniforms which I might in vain attempt to describe, and by a host of Noble Ladies whose bright complexions and substantial forms looked far better than they did the other day at the drawing-room, and convinced me that a German Princess in hat or bonnet and morning costume may be more handsome than I thought her in the sunshine, and a ball-dress so misplaced at mid day. The Empress of Austria looked very well, but the Empress of Russia is a fading beauty, and those who had seen her a few years ago deplored how much she has been changed. The Princess of Lignitz was the belle of the day, and I must say she is still beautiful, and justifies her former reputation. She wore a green silk and an unbe coming hat, but her fine person could not be spoiled by dress, and her bright eyes and glowing complexion would defy the malice of an envious milliner. The King of Prussia has excellent taste, as his late Queen, one of the finest women of her day, proved, and now, in his old age, is a comfort to have so sweet a consolation as his wife, though not his Queen, presents. The tWo great personages.of the day were the Emperor 1 -46 - During the night and early the next day a force had been I brought up from Prague, and divisions of the beaten army before Dresden found their way to the vicinity of the battle, and in a short time the Austrian and Russian army outnum bered considerably the French ; and Vandamme, who saw too late his error, and that the valleys of Bohemia were, as Fre derick the Great called them, rat-traps, was compelled in his turn to give way, and he retired through Brisen and Culm in good order, and contesting every inch of the way. Both these villages were the scenes of slaughter, and the houses were shattered or destroyed ; and there is a collection of can non-balls which fell in them held as relics to this day. The Austrian cavalry became stronger than Vandamme's, and it was with great difficulty he could save his masses from beirl(r pierced by it. In the meantime General Kleist, one of the t refugees from Dresden, at the head of about 5,000 Prussians, was threading his way through the Bohemian frontier, when he heard a cannonade ; and, having called a Council of War, it was decided to come near it, and he appeared while the action was still doubtful, though going hard against the French, on the mountains skirting the plain and leading from the road through Friburg. Van damme, from his height on the Chapel-hill of Culm, fan cied for a moment that it was the advance of Macdonald or St. Cyr's division ; but - the King of Prussia, with a sharper eye, recognised his own troops, and exclaiming' There is my Kleist !' gave orders for a general advance, which was exe cuted on the instant. Vandamme also was soon undeceived, and on descending from the chapel and trying to escape, he was seized by four Cossacks, who made him prisoner, and the army losing its morale, broke up in despair, pursued by the Austrians and Russians, who cut them down in every di rection, and made 8,000 prisoners in one sweep. The Prussians on the hills stopped the only road of escape, and placing their artillery in front barred the passage while the work of destruction went on below ; but the French cavalry gathering in a mass, gallantly charged, and killing the gun ners, overturned the artillery, and made their way through and escaped in a body. The infantry dispersed in every direction, and hundreds of them perished in the woods of hunger and fatigue. The whole position was commanded from any of the centre hills, and it was a fearful but a . xrand sight to see the broken troops flying in every direc tion, pursued by an infuriated enemy, and all the villages in. the pla'n, which had taken fire in the action, in flames toge ther. The Russian Imperial Guard was the principal suf-, ferer, nearly all its officers were killed ; and . Osterman, though he saved Bohemia, and achieved the gallant feat of stopping, for a whole day, a force five times his superior, was afterwards disgraced at Court, through the interest of the great families whose relatives were lost. The ladies of Bohemia were more cognizant of his merit, and several rich presents were made him to express their gratitude, for hav ing saved their country. The battle in many respects re sembled Waterloo, and Kleist, the Blucher of this occasion, had the pleasure of pointing out to-day to an auditory of Princes his share in the action. Even old Corporal Trim was in request, when it was found that he was wounded at the same time with General Collerodo Mansfield, to whom the Austrian monument is devoted. The battle thus fought a second time having terminated, the Sovereigns and their suite returned to their carriages, and all were in Top litz at dinner at two o'clock, the Emperor and Empress of Austria, as usual, entertaining them. A grand mass similar to that I have described took place yesterday, about four English miles from here, but it is un necessary to repeat the same scene. The day was spent in the manner previously noticed—dinner at one—a walk or ride after it—the theatre at six, and the undress ball at nine, and bed at eleven. As to the Congress no one knows anything about it, and unless it be held in the field, at din ner, or in bed, I know not how it can take place, for I find the Sovereigns all occupied from morning till nieit, out of doors, or in festivities within. So much has the term con ference become joke, that people call each parade a confe rence, and say that this was one, and that the hunting party which is to take place to-morrow will be another. As I say, they are flying conferences, or the fate of nations is decided like a woman's reputation, by a wink. I cannot learn that the three Monarchs have been absolutely alone together since they came here for more than five minutes. The arrivals since my last are the Archduke Michael, brother to the Emperor of Russia, Prince Frederick and the Princess of the Netherlands.

A noble stag was turned out near the town ; he took directly across the country, and, after a gallant chase of two hours anti twenty minutes, was taken at about five leagues distance. During the whole time there occurred only one single check of about four minutes. The hunt passed off without acci dent ; the day was fine, the sport capital, and the gent.l,- inen returned home highly delighted with their healthful excursion. A great deal of sport is expected this season ; the hounds are in famous condition s and reflect great cre dit on Mr. Johnson, of Versailles. No doubt, with his care and ability, the " Versailles Hunt" will soon make a conspicuous figure in the annals of sporting. DESTRUCTIVE FORCE OF FIELD ROCKETS. — A 12-pounder rocket laid on the ground and discharged without. a tube, by simply applying a match to the vent, will run along the ground four or live hundred yards, sel dom rising higher than a man's head, and then, alternately rising and falling, will continue its course with such effect as, after ranging 1,200 yards, to pierce through 20 feet of turf, and explode on the other side, scattering the 72 car bine balls with which it is loaded in all directions. At the first assault of Oporto, the two six-pounder rockets threw the troops of Don Miguel into confusion, after mus ketry and artillery had alike failed in checking their ad vance.— United Service Journal.
