A very quiet day is the one succeeding the Two Thousand festival. The Heath resumes the simple and business-like air peculiar to it, and the only trace of yesterday's scene of excitement is the brown hue of the herbage trod by countless feet, and the remains of the many pic-nits. Neither is the sport of a very exciting character, and there is more gossip over the great race of the previous day than real business on this. There was an interesting race over the T.Y.C. between Argonaut, Tomato, Gamma, and Catalogue, or at least it promised to be one, but Sir Joseph Hawley's grand old horse won in a canter without being called upon. Nothing else could live with him. The gentlemen won a good stake on King Hal in the Two-yr-old Plate, the Marquis of Hastings backing his horse to a large amount, and his friends following suit. He justified his owner's confidence by winning in a walk. The other events will be found fully detailed below. Handicap Plate of 50 sovs, for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Bretby Stakes Course. Capt. B.

The running was taken up shortly after starting by Spice, who lay in the centre of her horses and came on with a clear lead, having The Giant and Columbia on her right, with Jupon and Aline on the lower ground. They ran thits into the bottom, where Aline appeared in front, but, dying away as they ascended the hill, she was headed by Lord Douglas on the extreme right, who won a good race by a neck, Jupon defeated Aline by a couple of lengths for second, Bonnie Glen was fourth, Aline fifth, and Columbia next.

Short, but square built, with rounded shoulders and the head slightly inclined on one side, he might have been taken for a man of peace broken down by age, had not his pale, handsome face, when brightened up by a spark from his grey eyes, and the air of lassitude about his whole frame told a tale of hard work, spent energy, and illness rather than of age. Yet no one would have suspected in that appa rently indolent valetudinarian a soldier of not 52 years of age, conspicuous for his impetuous valmir and energy, who not 10 years ago inflicted on the Russians one of the most sanguinary defeats they sustained during the whole of the Eastern War, and who but four years ago was sent to Syria to put down the fanatical Mussulmans and wild Druses who were massacring their Christian neighbours. There seemed to be in that exhausted frame but little left of the spirit which once had animated " Old Kmety of Kars" as he was familiarly called by his friends and acquaintances. It was only in intimate intercourse, when you saw the eager in terest with which his simple, guileless mind seized hold, of every subject of conversation, and when you heard him tell stories of the past or touch upon the hopes of the future, that you perceived some sparks of the old spirit still remaining. Now the last spark is extinct. That walk on Tuesday week, at 3 o'clock,was "Old Kmety's" last walk; two hours after he was dead. A summer under the scorching sun and a winter on the snowy plateaux of Anatolia, spent in hard outpost work with Asiatic Irregulars, followed by the hardships of a long siege, were too much even for that iron con stitution, tried as it had been 'severely by former campaigns. He came back a wreck, and has never been out of the doctors' hands since. Of late to his other ailments was added a stiff neck, which he attributed to rheumatism, consoling himself that it would not prevent his getting on horseback again. So little did he think of it himself in the beginning that he often joked and was joked about it by his friends, who suggested that it was rather an advan tage, as he could tell his men, " I can look neither right nor left nor behind, so on forward." His medical attendants soon suspected mischief in the vertebrae of the neck. The stiffness often ex tended to the arms, and he was advised to have a frame made for the support of the head. He long resisted the suggestion, but when, after his return from Torquay, about 10 weeks ago, he was confined to the house for more than a month, and felt often at night unable to move, the idea of paralysis began to dawn upon him, and he at last consented to have a support of gutta-percha tried in the meantime. Yet he seemed better of late, and had resumed his walks. Noah Herts Yeomanry 19 Cork 22 • Bath 23 Harpenden 26 Epsom BO rNE. Redditch ....

He went home,. where another friend came in just about the same time, as well as his medical man, who had come on purpose to fit the gads, percha apparatus to his neck. He seemed as lively as ever, smoked while reclining on the couch, and talked hopefully, expecting thorough recovery from the fine weather, He got up to undress, and while making the effort he fell, as if struck down by a shot, exclaiming "I am paralysed." When raised up he was quite conscious, but talked in a hurried manner, breathing with difficulty - for about 10 mi mites, then gave a sigh ; and was dead. His life, chequered as it was with the vicissitudes of exile, and full " of moving accidents and of hair breadth escapes," might furnish a brilliant harvest to the biographer, and belongs to him by right ; but as no mean portion of it was interwoven with some of the most momentous events of our times history may claim him as one of her own. The son of a Protestant clergyman, he was born in May, 1813, in one of those picturesque valleys on the southern slopes of the Carpathians which are rich in mines, and not unlike in character to the north of Derbyshire. With a decided vocation for a military life, young George Kmety enlisted as a private in the Austrian army, in spite of the diffi culties which then, more than now, were in the path of any one not supported by strong interest or money. Except when favoured by the chances of war it was well nigh hopeless for any one to rise above the lowest steps of the military hierarchy. To rise to the rank of captain, and after 40 years' ser vice to retire on a pension of £6O a year, was about the most brilliant career to which a man without patronage could aspire. Kmety, who was heart and soul in his work, struggled on in spite of these small inducements, and after about seven years' service found himself First Lieutenant and Adjutant of his regiment, the 19th Hungarian Infantry, a post he filled for 14 years, his Colonel being Count Gyulai, of Italian notoriety. In this thankless po sition, where a man has to serve so many masters, he succeeded in becoming so popular with his regi ment that his comrades subscribed and presented a testimonial to the medical man who restored him from a severe illness he had while in Lintz. In spite of his predilection for the army, the yel low-black sash, which seems to possess the magic power of stifling all feelings except those of duty to the Kaiser and to the service, had no power over him ; he followed with eager interest the debates of the Diet of 1843, and when the then head of the Opposition came to Vienna, where Kmety's regi ment was in garrison, the latter, with another of his Hungarian comrades, unheeding the risk of losing his position, went in full regimentals to ex press his admiration to the eloquent defender of the rights of his country. The events of the spring of 1848 made a Minister of the chief of the Opposition in the Diet of 1843, and the Minister remembered the obscure adjutant. Hungary wanted an army, volunteers were flocking in, but officers who knew their business were few. A man like Kmety, who had lived himself as it were into regimental life, was a treasure. He was sent to Raab, in Western Hungary, to form some 800 or 900 young volunteers, a great many of them students from the college, into the 6th battalion of the national army. He went to work like a practical man, and not like a military pedant, as might have been expected from his ante cedents. Singling out such as had a little know ledge and address, those who seemed most intelli gent, he took them in hand himself, working them hard, with the promise of advancing those who showed most fitness for the posts of officers and non-commissioned officers. What these learnt in the morning they imparted to the rest in the after noon. It was an adaptation of the Lancastrian method to soldiers, and was so successful that six weeks after his arrival the battalion was fit to take the field, and figured all through the war as one of the most distinguished. Advancement was rapid in those times, and after taking part in the first advance and repulse of the Hungarian army at Swechat, and the retreat before Windischgatz, we find limety colonel and in com mand of the finest division of Gorgey's army, in which character he contributed not a little to the success of the flank movement of Gorgey's army which made the concentration of all the Hungarian forces in the spring of 1849 possible. We are not writing the history of the brilliant spring campaign which ended in the evacuation of Hungary by the Austrian troops and brought on the Russian intervention. Suffice it to say that during the whole course of it we findeolonel Smety and his division playing a conspicuous, althoug h often a thankless part, for he was no favour it e with Gorgey.

We find . him and his divi sion taking their share in the defeat of General Schlick at Hatvan, and if the commander of the corps to which his division belonged had followed Kmety's advice and followed up the victory the other Austrian column, under Jellachich, which was en gaged with the main body of the Hungarian army at Isetzegh, would have been not only beaten, but crushed four days after. Then they were sent to form part of a corps of observation against the capital, to which the Austrian army had retired, and thus to enable the body of the army to reach the fortress of Comorn, And the line of retreat of the enemy. Here, after taking part in the siege and storming of Hada, his division was again on de tached service on the left flank of the army on the little river Raab, where an opportunity offered itself at last for victory single-handed. At the first ad vance of Haynau, towards the middle of June, Kmety surprised a detached brigade under General Wyss at Esorna, and almost annihilated it. They had thrust themselves between him and the rest of the army. Guided by a man who knew the locality well he made a forced march, and got into the rear of the Austrian brigade. This was the last and . most brilliant deed of Kmety in connexion with the Upper or Army of the Danube under Gorgey. One hundred and fifty thousand Russians had entered Hungary, and with them had advanced the Austrian army under Haynau, strengthened to 70,000 by arrivals of troops from Italy. The dif ferences between Kossuth and GOrgey had doubled the strength of the enemy, and in the confusion which followed Kmety's Division was cut off from the rest of the retreating army. Nevertheless, Kmety made good his retreat, and joined un scathed the Southern army, which, under the command first of Dembinsky, and then of Bern, had been pressed back by Haynau to wards the fortress of Temesvar. If all the troops and, above all, the commanders, had behaved there as Kmety and his division on the left flank did, the battle on the Bth of July might have been, in spite of Russian artillery and numbers, a vic tory. But if they could not insure victory the Divi sion of Kmety protected the retreat, which would otherwise have been fatal. He repulsed the Aus trians, who were pursuing the remnants of the army at Lugos, and his corps fired the last shot at the village of Farcet. But the end had come. At the news of the defeat, which was represented as a complete rout, Gorgey being surrounded and pressed on all sides by Russians and Austrians, the remnants of the Southern Hungarian army made the best of their way into Turkey, or to their homes. In the confusion which followed the debandade Kmety found himself with 10 companions among the labyrinth of mountains which divide the south eastern corner of Hungary from Wallachia. No one new the road, and the population, of Wallachian origin and excited by Austrian officers and func tionaries, were hostile to all that was Hungarian. After wandering about for some time they met a native who had been sergeant in the Austrian army, and who promised for a good recompense to show them the way. He led them into a defile, where they were received by a hot fire of musketry from all sides and taken prisoners. There was a great de bate whether the prisoners should be despatched at once, or be given up to the nearest Austrian de tachment that could be found. The guide, who hoped for his reward from the Austrians, carried the point, and the prisoners were shut up in a barn, while he himself started in search of Austrian sol diers. While shut up in the barn the prisoners per ceived that some hay stored up behind the barn had accidentally taken fire, or had been set on fire, and on the appeal of Kmety they resolved to risk any thing rather than he burnt to death. They-broke open the doors and rushed out just as the sergeant returned with a body of lancers. They prepared to sell their lives dear, when the officer of lancers, fol lowed by his men, rushed with raised sword through the crowd and, cutting down the faithless guide, asked the General for his " orders." The guide had in the dark mistaken a body of Polish lancers, belonging to the Hungarian army, for Austrian lancers, and had thus brought help instead of de struction to the prisoners. It will be recollected by our readers how gene rously the Turkish Government, supported by Lord Stratford, behaved about the Hungarian refugees collected in Widdin, and how, at the risk of bring ing about a collision, not only with Austria, but Russia, it steadfastly refused to give up those who had sought an asylum in the Ottoman territory. To the Hungarians these chances of a collision natu rally appeared far more imminent, and so it is not surprising that several of the moreprominent officers, among them the late Generals Guyon and Kmety, entered the Turkish service as " Mussefirs," or un attached, literally, " guests." This has been misinterpreted, as if those who entered the Turkish service had all embraced Islamism. No doubt some did this later, but neither Guyon nor Kmety. The best proof in the latter case is that after the time for the intervention of the exiles expired in 1851 Kmety, who had passed the time in Aleppo, left Turkey at the same time as those who had been in Kutayah. It . must be re membered this was before the time of the Hatti Humayoun, when recanting from Islamism was death, and Kmety had no great Elchi to fall back upon. Leaving Turkey, Kmety came to England for the first time. With little or no means at his disposal he struggled on for a year and a half, trying to find some means to earn his bread. Being fond of music, he worked for hours and hours every day to qualify himself to give lessons ; and it was touching to hear the man who had led thousands to victory speak naively of the progress he was making with Beetho ven's sonatas. The outbreak of the Eastern War in the summer of 1850 interrupted his musical studies and led him back again to his true vocation. Ever mindful of the kindness he had received from the Turks he thought it his duty to offer his services at the time of need. In the leisure of his life in Aleppo he had learnt I Turkish, and made up by reading for any de ficiency in the higher branches of his profes sion. He arrived there unprotected and unrecom mended, and being besides objectionable for ser vice in Europe on account of his character as a Hungarian exile, he was sent with the rank of ma jor -general to command the Irregulars of the Army of Anatolia, where he found his former companion General Guyon as chief of the staff. He arrived at his post early in 1854. Outpost duties are under the best of circumstances the most fatiguing work in the army, and it was doubly so with Irregulars partly composed of Khurds of doubtful fidelity, watering between Sultan and Czar, and in the face of the most formidable adversaries in outpost work —the Cossacks. For nine months he worked in this ungrateful task, exposed to the trying extremes of climate for which the Turkish frontier is famous, and without ever having a chance of distinguishing himself. The summer campaign of that ye ar was not favourable to the Turks. Although superior in number to the Russians, they were so ill handled that they were driven back on all points, ignomini ously beaten in the battle of Kurukdere in July, and had to think of their own defence instead of attack ing the Russians. Fortunately the Russians were not prepared to follow up their success, for in the confusion which reigned they might have possesse d themselves of the position b e f ore Erzeromn, whi ch would have opened to them the high road through Asia Minor. - The danger was felt at Constantinople, although it never was clearly understood there that after the Allies were once engaged in the war the true sphere of action for the Turks was in Asia. The commanders of the army of Anatolia were changed ; Gen. Wil liams with a staff of British officers was sent to as sist the new commander, Tara Pasha, and reinforce- ' Hurst and Blackett. 13, Great Marlborough-street. THE LADY EMILY PONSONBY'S NEW NOVEL.

He has of ten read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion. from green young men. For their names, which "Punch" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr. '• Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphl, t above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medical Circular" Office, 20.

The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in " Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are published.

All th ese vessels have secured heavy cargoes, as well as a l arge number of passen gers. `..The freightage on the various articles of merchan dise is rather low. ments were despatched, which by degrees brought up the army to 25,000 men in the first line, with a reserve of about 10,000 in Erzerourn. i t Very soon after the arrival of Getteral Williams,. Kmety—or, as he was called in the Turkish service, Ismail Pasha was relieved from his outpost duties with the Irregulars, and placed in command of a regular division of the Anatolian army. The difference of opinion which still prevails among military men on the manner in which that army was handled does not concern us here, nor whether it would not have been wiser to give up the useless fortress of Kars, and concentrate all forces for the line of defence, the plateau before Erzeroum, rather than shut it up in the fortress and lose both the fortress and the army. In the beginning of June, 1854,when the Russians took the offensive, the army had taken up a position about Kars, which had been converted into an intrenched camp, extending not only on the right bank of the river, where the city lies, but inclosing likewise the plateaux which rise in succession on the opposite bank of the river. In the beginning the whole of the lines on the left bank were placed under the command of Kmety, to whom Capt. (now Major) Teesdale was attached as chief of the staff. The lines then only extended on that side to the immediate vicinity of the river, where a line of earthworks was thrown up for protection ; but soon, and in great measure by the advice of Kmety, it was found advisable to extend the lines to the uppermost plateau of Tachmaz, which commanded the works and from which the ground falls off rapidly towards the plain, and Kmety himself was placed in command of these advanced line s , with instructions to hold them to the utmost. Th e rumours that the Turkish army under Omar Pasha, become more than ever useless after the fall of Sebastopol, would be sent to the relief of Kars, induced the Russian army before Kars to make an effort to take the intrenched camp by storm. Events proved that the Russians were as much aware of the' importance of the pleateau of Tach maz as its defenders, for it was against that very . position that they directed their chief efforts. On they came at daybreak on the 29th of September in three heavy columns, and at the very first onset carried the open breastwork on the left flank of the line, taking possession of all that portion of the Turkish camp. Fortunately, the two closed re doubts, one under the animating influence of Major Teesdale, held out until Kmety, who had driven back the Russian attack on the right, could come up with his scanty reserves, and, leading them on himself, could by degrees disengage the redoubts, in spite of the obstinate resistance of the Russians. In the meantime, another attack on the inner line, after being successful for a time, was finally beaten back by Colonel Lake, and by 10 o'clock the Rus sians were retreating on all points, leaving 6,500 men dead on the field, about 6,000 of them before the position of Tachmaz, showing clearly where the real battle was fought. But the victory became useless. In spite of the advice of Kmety, the army, which then, at least, could have been saved, if it could not have destroyed the enemy, remained inactive until hunger forced it to surrender. Kmety, who would not run the risk of falling into the hands of the Russians, made his escape, accom panied by a few of his faithful irregulars, right across the Russian besieging army, and arrived in Stamboul. The Turkish Government was not ungrateful. He was named lieutenant-general, and decorated ; but the campaign had ruined his health, and, after con sulting French and English doctors, he determined to retire from the service. While the negotiations on this point lasted the massacres of Syria called him once more into activity. He was placed in com mand of a division, and arrived just in time to put a stop to further disorders. This was not a little im portant, as the French expedition arrived soon after, which was as anxious to find the disturbances still in progress as Fuad Pasha and the Turks were to finish with them before any one else meddled. This was the last act of his public life. He soon after got his retirement, and a liberalpension, mainly through Fuad Pasha, who had had opportunities of appreciating his services. He reti re d t o E ng l an d, which had been always the country of his predilec tions, as he fondly hoped to gather strength for fresh work. He was mistaken, for he was carried on Monday to the cemetery of Kensal-green to repose there after his hard, active life. The Turkish Govern ment claimed the right of burying him, and used the right worthily. But old Kmety of Kars had friends too, and, besides his own countrymen, a large num ber of them paid him the last honours. Among others, Earl Ducie, Viscount Strangford, Lord E. Seymour, Sir Henry Havelock, Colonel Seymour, R.E., Major Adams, Mr. Cyril Graham, &c., be sides the Turkish Ambassador and the members of the Embassy, came to the burial-ground. A laurel wreath, decorated with the Hungarian colours, was placed on his coffin, and never was this token more deserved than in the case of this soldier, simple and true, such as becomes the defender of a good cause. The Road Murder, (From the Liv e rpool Mercury.) Of all the undetected crimes which within living memory have perplexed and defied professional sagacity, leaving the public mind haunted by an oppressive sense of the impo tence of human justice, the tragedy enacted at Road-hill House on the night of the 29th of June, 1860, is perhaps the meet fearful, both in the accumulated horrors of its details and in the hopeless impossibility of tracking out its guilty author. That a sleeping child should have been taken from its bed in the dead of night, in the very presence of its nurse, and foully murdered, and not a trace bo left of the hand that did the cruel and bloody deed, was one of the most terrible recorded examples of the failure of society and its institutions to shield helpless innocence and to punish crime. There were suspicions, surmises, conjec tures, and faint glimmerings of evidence, or what looked so, which alternately pointed to three inmates of the house, by some one of whom it was impossible to doubt that the murder had been done ; but there was nothing on which justice could take hold. So there was no choice but to renounce in despair all thought of piercing the dreadful mystery, and to leave it to wait for the revelations of the day when the secrets of all hearts will be made known. And now, nearly five years after human justice has reluctantly accepted discomfiture and defeat, a young girl places herself at the bar of a police court, and proclaims to all mankind that it was a sister's hand that slew the sleeping infant. It is not surprising that the confession of Constance Sent is received with some amount of hesitation and distrust. We do not, for our own part, share in this scepticism, but it would be too much to assert that it is extravagantly un reasonable. It may be safely assumed that the t ep o re th eiseand lawyerlike wording of the document prese nted position of a girl in hor 2 1 st year, weighed nd d unaided e 0 own under an f guilt ; and if extraneous int er f erence a BOW street magistrate, is not the- s pontaneous overpowering sense o is once admitted, there is no saying how far it may h ave ; when we s a y th a t a confession gone. We are casting no discredit on the sworn t es ti mony of f M o r. Wssiaognnwelitchhe comesßrigh through coluearha thema medium of a semi- R o manist father confessor is view e d w i th excusable jealousy by the English public. Neverth e l ess, there the confession e is, and, though it is as yet unaccompanied by a particle of corroborative or explanatory evidence, there is no definite ground for doubting its literal truth. The suggestion of diseased fancy having prompted a false self-accusation is absolutely gratuitous ; nor is there anything in the re corded demeanour of the prisoner herself, on the two oc casions on which she has appeared in court, to give the slightest countenance to the hypothesis of a delirious hal lucination. It is still more to the purpose to remember that justice had at the time its misgivings that Constance Kent was the murderess. Such fragments or hints of evidence as there were pointed to her rather than to either of the other two persons who alone, besides herself, could be regarded as lying within the range of possible suspicion. There was the fact of the missing nightdress, with the half proved suggestion that it had been purposely made away with. There were vague but significant indications of a rooted dislike to the infant half-brother, though these were very properly dismissed as utterly inadequate evidence of a murderous design. Moreover, there was the character of the girl herself—wild, wilful, eccentric, and passionate. As a mere child she was unlike other children, having some years before run away in disguise from a home which she apparently hated. We are told that to this hour the local police had never relinquished tho belief that Constance Sent, and Constance Kent alone, was the slayer of hor • fant brother. It is possible to forget these things when Constance Kent her self declares that the deed was hers. For ourselves, we which, after all , only Cannot disbelieve a confession - firms previous suspicions, and fits in with antecedent appearances and probabilities. We feel bound to accept as authentic the horrible disclosure that a gently nurtured girl of 15 or 16 years of age brutally mu r d ere d a littl e brother as he slept in his cradle.
