The Irish intelligence is of a melancholy and deeply painful character. We have been too long accustomed to accounts of suffering and destitution, of wholesale evictions, and of entire districts lying waste and uncultivated after the banishment of their once happy occupants, to feel any surprise at the lamentable statements of a sinsilar description that daily arrive from the sister king-dom. But, unfortu nately, a new, although not qiuite unexpected, in gredient appears on the present occasion. There has been a renewal of those scenes of strife and blood shed that so long disgraced the northern province. Religious animosities are rekindled, party warfare revived, and " Civil dissension, with its vip'raus tooth, That gnaws the bowels of the Commonwealth," now rages throughout Ulster. These deplorable results are mainly ascribed to the reckless and headstring conduct of the Orange party —of those who recently protested against the rate in aid for the support of their distressed brethren in the south and west of Ireland. 'That the ignorant masses should desire again to celebrate the anniversary of the 12th of July, and the bygone triumphs of their party, may excite but little surprise; but that their leaders— men of education and influence, and some of considerable wealth and station—should have sanc tioned a repetition of those absurd exhibitions that excited feelings of bitter hostility, and almost invariably led to fatal consequences, is indeed strange. If any hope remained for their unhappy country, if any prospect existed of the social regeneration of Ireland, it was to be sought for in the cordial co-operation of Irishmen of every class and creed for the benefit of their common country. It might have been supposed that the chastening dispensations of PROVIDENCE, the pestilence and famine that decimated the nation, would have induced a more temperate and humble spirit ; that those who were them selves afflicted would not seek to insult their fellow-sufferers, or to revive those sanguinary feuds that were in the olden time the defacing blots on the national escutcheon. These reasonable expectations have, hcwever, been disappointed. The orangemen walked in procession, with drums and banners--the Catholic party resented the insult—a fearful collision took place, and many widows and orphans deprived of their natural protectors will long deplore the fatal termination of the proceedings. It appears that the different Orange lodges as sembled on Thursday, the 12th instant, at Tollymore - park, the seat of the Earl of RODEN, and that, as usual on such occasions, they were well provided with fire arms and other weapons of offence. On their return in the evening through the pass of Dolly's Brae the progress of the procession was opposed by a large body of the peasantry, armed with pikes, muskets, scythes, and a variety of formidable weapons. Shots were fired, and many killed and wounded on either side. During the progress of the contest several cottages were set on fire, and with their contents totally consumed, the wretched occupants being deprived of the shelter of a roof, and thrown in utter T HE LEGAL TITLE ASSURANCE rnacy.

After that interval rumours were heard that the Magyars were beaten, that their assailants, in fact, were every , where victorious. From the outset we discredited these reports, not merely because they were in every instance contradictory to each other, but because they were invariably transmitted via Germany, receiving a particular colouring in their passage through the political atmosphere of Vienna. Our incredulity proved in every instance to be correct. The apparent flight of the Hungarians before the legions of the Imperial invaders was discovered in the end to be only the initial movement of a masterly system of military tactics. Town after town was abandoned, river after river crossed, fortress after fortress evacuated, until—the grand army of the Austrians having been sufficiently reduced in garrisons—the Hungarians emerged from the shelter of their morasses, and from the fastnesses of their mountains, and, with one revelation of their national valour, transformed the conquerors into fugitives. Then it was that Europe witnessed that glorious ebullition of patriotism which enabled the raw re cruits from the neighbourhood of Debreczin to rout the veteran soldiers of Germany. Then it was that the improvised army of Liberation advanced by forced marches, tracking their road by the glow of succes sive victories, until they had driven the last minion of the EMPEROR from the sacred soil of their fatherland, until they had reinstated their patriitic statesmen in the capital Buda-Pesth, until they had threatened the battlements of Presburg, and had penetrated so far beyond the frontiers of the Republic, as to be within sight o f the walls of the imperial metropolis. Having observed the successiono t f ic ev ip e a n t t e s in the last campaign, we may reasonably anticipate the same preliminary dubiousnessgloozwaenddbythesame as to the progress of the war, fo preci pitate pmans of triumph over the reported successes of the imperialists. Let it be known, however, that the flimsy masquerade is by this time so threadbare as to be clearly transparent. The clumsy devices of the organs of reaction cannot be repeated without detec tion. However profound may be the uncertainty— however loud may be the hosannahs of exultation chaunted over the supposititious achievements of the dragoons of absolutism, the multitude will not lose heart as to the doom of the Magyars, neither will it resign one iota of its confidence in their heroism and their genius. As to the nature of the catastrophe—that, of course, is hidden in the in scrutable designs of the great GOD of Justice. Although, numerically considered, the hostile forces are of appalling superiority, the Hungarians are, in our estimation, very far indeed from being in any desperate extremity. They recommence the struggle with the prestige of their recent victories. They enter the battle-field clad in the panoply of their new as well as their ancient and historical glory. Their Government has been consolidated by the triumph of a great national liberation. Their Republican institutions have been stabili tated simultaneously by the sentiments of ad miration and by the emotions of gratitude. And as a crowning effort to evoke all the holiest and noblest feelings of the Magyar race, there has been issued a proclamation that stirs the heart like a trumpet call, a proclamation dictated by the lambent and almost inspired eloquence of KOSSUTH, burning with the fire of patriotism, and sounding with the resonance of heroic desperation. As the most conspicuous token of our homage to the genius of an illustrious people, and of our sympathy with their struggles for emanci pation, we give, for the first time, a complete trans lation of this soul-thrilling document. Remember I it is the voice of Kossuni that speaks, and that he speaks from the capital of the Hungarians!-- " The country is in danger Patriots, arm your selves. If ordinary means could save the country, we should not tell of its danger as wo do. We say openly and candidly, that the whole strength of the people must rise in defence ; if not, they must perish with hunger ; for those savage Russians not only mow down the truits of your labour, the crops well nigh ripe for the harvest, but they also—we say it with a bleeding heart—cut down the green corn, which they destroy. Thus they proceed with murder and rapine ; and blood, flames, famine, and misery march in their track. " In the name of the Eternal God, and in the name of the country, do we call upon the people to rise in their own defence; and we decree and proclaim a ge neral crusade against the Russians and the Austrian Emperor. All provisions must be hid from the enemy —hid in the fastnesses of the mountains and the morasses of the plains—for the enemy shall starve. Before your towns and inhabited places are occupied by the enemy, you shall abandon them; yea, you shall leave them, and your bravest men shall fire the roofs above the heads of your foes. You shall burn them with fire-, because your homes are doomed, and your enemies burn wherever they come. Since, therefore, the houses are to be burnt, let them at least be consumed while the Russians are in them. The priests shall tako the cross, and lead the people to de end their religion and liberty. If the people do not faith fully do their duty, the cou n t r y i s l ost, an d nothing can save i t. " The country is in danger! Ri se , t h en, my m i ghty, my gigantic pecple, rise and arm ! Let every Hunga rian take up arms, and victory will be ours. And it is for this reason we d ecree an d proclaim a general rising for our liberty in the name of God and of our country!" The sound of those glowing words has already echoed throughout the homesteads of the nation, and Hun gary is in arms, pledged to conquer or perish I TO CORRESPONDENTS.

A terrible campaign having eommenced in earned between the united forces of Austro-Russian despo tism and the patriot soldiers of Hungary, the atten tion of the free races of Western Europe is turned with the vigilance of unutterable anxiety towards the field of the great struggle. Every rumour, however vague—every conjecture, however frivolous—every fear, however desponding—every aspiration, however extravagant —is caught up with an aridity which reveals the profound interest of the multitude in this tremendous conflict between the two gigantic powers of modern times, the powers of the East and the West, the powers of Tyranny and Freedom, the powers of Barbarism and Civilization. It is felt that in the cast of this die is involved the ulterior destiny of the age. It is felt that upon the issue of this awful sold desperate ccntention reposes the good or the evil fate of innumerable mil lions. In the armies of the Autocrat we see not so much the savage warriors of NICHOLAS as the ruth less champions of that cause, in the furtherance of which even Nrc UOLAS himself, formidable as he is in his imperial puissance, is a mere instrument—the cause of intellectual darkness and moral degenera tion, the cause of mental and political Retrogression. In the Magyars, on the other hand, we recognise the heroes of Progress, who, in hazarding their lives for the defence of their beloved country, are prepared to offer themselves up as victims for liberty, or as martyrs for civilization. Once before has this renowned population flung itself into the breach of society, and, at the risk of extermination, become the buckler of the rights of Europe. Formerly it saved the family of the Europeans from being bound down under the bondage of th e blahoreetans. Now it is fighting for the protection of all the western dominions from an inundation Equally terrible, an inundation of savage hordes from territories stretching back to the confines of the Siberian wilderness. While this ap palling, because unequal, battle is raging in the beautiful and fruitful provinces irrigated by the Danube—while the glorious children of Hun gary are drawing their brands from their scabbards to shelter their fields from desolation, a n d their roof-trees from the Barnes, to save their nation ality from the chains of the despot, and their females from the hand of the ravisher—the dastardly Govern. ments of the West are looking on with the apathy of indifference, are evading all the impassioned appeals made to them for assistance, are repelling the advance of the people with the ambiguous language of diplo- THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 18, 1849.

MADAME SONTAG.—The rehearsal of the lon nambula yesterday singularly displayed in Madame Sontag onei ts of the m ar k ed characteristics of genius— namely, i nd ividuality, that which marks the per sonal identity of talent. Going over the long beaten track and the familiar strains, nothing in her singing or in her acting was imitative, or sug gested comparison with her predecessors. The voca l execution, the pathos, and the dramatic conceptio n are all her own ; the former brilliant beyond all expecta tion, nd appearing the latter chaste and gentle, a as if the character had been written for unstraiaed, exquisitely the vocalist.

Many prisoners were captured, tbirty•eight of whom have been committed for trial, and several inquests are to be held on the bodies of those who received their death-wounds in the san guinary encounter. As the whole matter must be subjected to legal in vestigation, we abstain for the present from consider ing which of those parties first resorted to deadly weapons, or stained their hands in human gcre. We shall not inquire whether the first shot proceeded from the Orange or the Catholic ranks. This, how ever, is certain, that murder and arson have been committed, that innocent blood has been shed, and that the Orangemen are morally, if not legally, re sponsible for the consequences that might easily have been anticipated without any extraordinary de gree of foresight. They were the first aggressors by resolving on an exhibition that has ever been re garded as a deep and bitter insult to the Catholic community, that perpetuated the remembrance of former discord, and sowed the seeds of strife that would be handed down from father to son through successive generations. It is much to be regretted that the wise and salutary law prohibiting party pro cessions of any description should have been suffered to expire, that so fertile a source of outrage and dis turbance should be permitted to exist. We trust that Government will, even during the present session, bring forward a Bill for the re-enactment of the Party Processions Act. But while we thus justly condemn the Orange body, their opponents also are worthy of tb• gravest censure. They should have regarded the ridiculous proceedings with silent contempt ; they should have exhibited a respectful obedience to the law that would have contrasted strongly with the ' intemperate conduct of the others, and obtained the approbation of all unprejudiced persons. Such a course would do more to check these objectionable processions than the most determined opposition, or the most sanguinary conflicts. Were it not for the expectation of contests, and of exciting the Catholic party, the processions would be speedily abandoned. The Orangemen would not gravely march along with flags and banners, armed to the teeth, rendering themselves the laughing- stocks of all spectators, if no other result were anticipated. Ridicule and good humoured contempt would prove more efficient weapons than guns, or pikes, or all the offensive in struments of the riband armoury. On the present occasion the Catholic party too readily responded to the Orange challenge. If one side invited a contest the other promptly accepted the gage of battle, and came, with all their powers, resolved on bloodshed. If a deadly contest was not anticipated, why were such extensive preparations, such formidable organization entered into ? _ . Unless " war to the knife" was expected, why were fire•arms, pikes, swords, scythes, &c., &c., so freely resorted to on every side ? Why were they not contented with shilelahs or alpeens, the usual instrument of the Irish peasant, with which he can break his neighbour's head in perfect love and good fellowship. In this respect there is but little difference, and all parties implicated, whether Protestant or Catholic, Orangeman or Ribandman, are involved in similar guilt, and are equally deserving of punishment.

MONEY and COM.MERCIAL NEWS. CITY. QUARTER TO THREE. There was a brisk demand for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, end sellers were very firm, demanding higher pricer, which in most cases have been acceded to, espe cially for American, which may be quoted nearly 1-sd. higher. The sales were estimated from 2,000 to 1,000 bales. Railway Shares were firm. The Corn Market to-day is dull at barely Monday's prices. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon were rather lower on Trieste; steady on Paris and Frankfort, and higher on Hamburgh and Antwerp. Letters from the Havannah, dated late in June, indi cate the probability of rather a serious hindrance to commercial intercourse with Cuba. One writer states: —" Our Board of Health have decided to make the quarantine regulations very rigorous. No passengers coming by steamers from the United States will be allowed to land, but must return. Steamers arriving with the cholera on board will have to remain outside the harbour, or in the case of bad weather, at its en trance for the purpose of taking in provisions, coals, &c.; vessels from every part of the United States will be subjected to eight days' observation, and those from infected places to twenty days quarantine, counting from the time of their arrival here. Passengers by sailing vessels will have to perform quarantine on board of the same. Vessels with the cholera on board will not ha allowed to enter, except merely for the pun pose of taking in some necessary supplies. Such is the present decision of the Board of Health, but we trust these severe measures will soon be mo dified. Translation of an Order published in the Diario de la Marina of Savannah, on the 22d day of June, 1849. "In consequence of the great extent to which cholera has spread in the United States, and there being no proper place at this port for the accom modation and separation from each other during the quarantice, of the great number of passengers arriving in vessels from those ports, it has been determined not to admit, while the said causes exist, those arriving in steamers, but such as come in sailing vessels, as in the latter they can ride out the quarantine which may be impose upon them. Vessels arriving from infected ports shall undergo twenty days of rigor ous quarantine, reckoned from th e d a y o t arr i va l , an d also the fumigation ordained by the regulation. Such vessels as come from non-infected ports, with clean bills of health, shall undergo an obser vation of eight days, after which they will be admitted to free intercourse, should there be no just motive to prevent it." Ship letters have been received this morning from Rio de Janeiro and Sydney, New South Wales, but they are not of so late a date as those previously received. The news by the continental mails arrived this morn ing is ot but little importance. The market for the English Securities has been heavy this morning, and there is but a limited business doing. This is pay day upon the monthly specr.lative ac count, and has not led to any particular difficulty among the dealers, although the Bears have suffered,. the rise within the four weeks having been just 3 per cent., viz., from 904 to 934 ex dividend. The feeling recently, however, has been so strong in favour of an improvement in prices, that one is puzzled to know who have been the parties with sufficient hardihood to withstand it. Certain it is that real investments have progressed almost equally with jobbing operations, and that the supply of stock brought to market has been comparatively limited. An advance must necessarily, however, bring forward sellers, and this accounts for the occasional reaction of small per centages. On the whole it is difficult to say what can be done with the prcceeds of stock sold unless some new outlet is obtained. Railway shares when they become in favour may offer this, and foreign loans if there was a chance of their being successful, would have their influence, but many will doubt whether France, even in her present position, would find any favour with British capitalists. She wants money unquestionably, and if report speak truly, nothing short of eight millions sterling will suffice, thanks partly to the aggressive proceedings against Rome. Consols have been 93j to 93 for transfer, and are now 93 to 934 for August 14, which is the next settling day. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 934 to 94/, and the Reduced Three per Cent. An nuities, 93/ to 934.

MARKET NE Ws-(THIS DAY CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY Only a limited quantity of English Wheat was on offer in to-day's market, nevertheless, it was quite equal to the wants of the buyers, whose atteudance was small. All descriptions moved off heavily, at Monday's reduc tion in the quotations. The imports of Foreign Wheat have been confined to 3,530 quarters, chiefly from the near continental ports. belected samples were held at full prices. Inferior qualities ruled the turn in favour of the buyers. No English Barley on offer, but the supply of foreign was large. All kinds moved off slowly. In prices, however, we have no change to notice. Malt was in short supply, and sluggish demand, at late rates. Upwards of 20,000 quarters of foreign Oats having come in, the Oat trade was heavy, at barely stationary prices. Flour was purchased cautiously. Indian Corn receded le. per quarter. Beans and Peas unaltered. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. English ...... Scotch .. •• • • Irish. • • • • •"• Foreign .• •• •• I Wheat. I Barley. Oats. Floar. I 820 qrs.

HUNGARY and THE HUNGARIANS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-Yuur noble defence of the cause of Hungary arid the r ungarians is the general theme of praise in this capital, and emboldens me to trouLle you with the few following remarks. Nothing but the recognition 01 Hungary as an independent state by England, conjointly with France, can prevent the war being carried into Turkey, should the successes of the Imperialists eventually prevail on the soil of Hungary.* This would be the occasion so long waited for, and alone wanting, to carry out the ch er i s h e d pro j ects of the Czars. Lord Palmerston's policy is no longer engaged —it is now no international quarrel—the intervention of Russia has completely changed the character of the war in Hungary. The Noble Foreign Secretary can never permit matters to be carried to an extremity which would set the whole of Europe in a blaze. He must now feel convinced that the only way to secure the peace of Eastern Europe is a strong Government. He cannot look for this in the heterogeneous masses and the weak sway of Austria. Single. handed the Hungarians were more than a match for the Austrians; the inter vention of Russia has turned the scale, and the chances of the war are now in favour of the Imperialists. We will suppose that they are eventually successful, and that Hungary is forced to again submit to the rule of Austria! What guarantee dues the later give fur a strong empire? None; she had bat the shadow of a power, she has descended to a third rate rank in the Governments of Europe ; the moment she called to her aid the hordes of her neigh bcurs to sustain her waning existence, a strung empire, a strong Government is never more to be looked for in Austria. Let Lord Palmerston take the initiative, and create, by the recognition of Hungary, a Hungarian Empire as an independent state, a real Em pire of the East, and thereby secure the peace and pros perity of that part of Europe. In another letter, it you will permit me, I will en deavour to show that Kossuth and his Government have hitherto been completely misunderstood by the gene rality of the public in England and France—nay, even by the Governments of the two countries. The Re public was never proclaimed by the Diet of Debriczin. The eventual form of government was left an open question. W. - Brussels, July 17, 1849. P.S. The whole kingdom of Poland is declared in a state of siege; no one is permitted to leave the country. [Yes 1 The Autocrat has declared the whole of Poland in a state of siege. Why does not his insane despotism go yet one step further, and apply the state of siege to the Universe?—ED. Sun.] *The Ottoman Government seems already to have in view this contingency in refusing to comply with the demands of Russia and Austria to send from Constanti nople the emissaries of Hungary. FINE AWL'S. THE ART JOURNAL. Among the engravings from the Vernon collection, already published in the Art Journal, we have for July Etty's lovely picture of " Bathers surprised by a Swan," Roberts's " Interior o f B urgos C at h e d ra l," and Co oke's " Dutch Boats in a Calm." As " Pas sages from the Poets" we have illustrations from the verse of Cowper and of Wordsworth—the latter revealing the " willowy brook that turns a mill" is exquisite. The " Memoir of J. B. Pyne" is headed by a drawing from his portrait by J. J. Hill, wret c h e dl y engrave d , and g i ving but an indifferent representation of the features of that admirable landscape painter. Mrs. S. C. Hall contributes to the present number of the Art Journal' a charming memoir of her friend Miss Edgeworth. The letter written shortly before the demise of that distinguished lady is a peculiarly interesting curiosity. Other papers and woodcuts in the current part are excellent. ILLUSTRATED ATLAS.

In order to ascertain, f strength of the tubes, they wi re connected with the water company's hydraulic proofing pump, the regular load of which is 2501 b. in the square inch. At this rent they were unaffected, and the pump was worked up to 3371 b., but to the astonishment of every one, the tubes still remained perfect. It was then propased to work the pump up to 500, but it was found that the lever of the valve would bear no more weight. The utmost pees er of the hydraulic pump could not burst the tubes. The gutta percha being slightly elastic, allowed the tubes to become a little expanded by the extraordinary pressure which was applied, but on its withdrawal they rasumed their former size.

QUEEN HENRIETTA MARIA.—If Henrietta Maria had hitherto displayed the wilfulness, indiscretion, and levity of Mary of Medicis, she now emulated the energy and talent of Henry of Navarre. In all his dominions the king could not have found a man capable of per forming what unassisted woman accomplished. France stood aloof, not sorry to see the power of England di vided against itself, and Richelieu left the sister of his sovereign to beg from strangers, and to feel herself an exile from her native bind. !Opal and Papist as she was, the Queen found a Protestant republic very slow to listen to the voice of her charming; the public sympa thies of the Dutch were all with the Parliament, and though their private interests induced them to deal with the Queen, they satisfied consciences by " bargaining like Turks" fir everything they gsve. Notwithstandi ing all these difficulties, the Queen succeeded in raising considerable sums, and a good supply of arms for the King. And it was full time. The King had left Lon don for the north, and was only hesitating where he should raise that standard which he h,.d not yet an armed man to defend.—. Eliot Warburton's Memoirs of Prince Rupert. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY MORNING.—T he steamer trout Havre this morning informs us that the demand for cotton was yesterday very steady, without any change in prices. Sales to two o'clock, 1,146 bales. The only arrivals yesterday were the Sophie Cezare, from Calcutta, and the Josephine from Antwerp. The outside trappings which we assume when we go into public are more frequently wanted at home than abroad.—Eliza Cook's Journal. TORQUAY REGATTA.—The arrangements for the ensuing regatta progress most favourably; the Earl of Wilton, Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, Sir Henry Hoghton, the owner of the Gipsy Queen, and Mr. Ackera of the Brilliant, have undertaken to act as stewards, and to bring as large a fleet as they can with them. The day, which is now fixed fur the 26th inst., will doubtless be altered, as the Ryde regatta is to take place on the 24th, in consequence of her Majesty visiting Ireland in the early part of August, when this regatta was first fixed to take place.—Ezeter Gazette. DECISION OP CHARACTER —lt is of great impor tance in order to be successful in any undertaking, that a man possess a good degree of firmness; because, if after he have undertaken any business or enterprise, he become discouraged merely because he meets with a few difficulties and embarrassments which he did not antici pate, his capabilities for conducting his business will be paralyzed, and his efforts weak and ill directed, so that his failure will almost of necessity be the result. But if a man of a firm and decided cast of character meet with obstacles to his prosperity, he nerves himself to meet them, taxes his utmost ability, and directs all the energies of his mind and body to remove the cause of his embarrassment, and the result in nine out of ten cases will be complete success. He could scarcely fail to be successful, unless he has engaged in an enterprise for which he possesses no qualifications, and to which his energies are inadequate; which is rarely the case with a man of firmness. Such men, generally speaking, " weigh well the means, the manner, and the end," of their designs, before attempting to put them in execu tion, and when their resolutions are once taken, trifles don't stop them.—Eliza Cook's Journal. MONEY MARKET. --The premium on gold at Paris is 11 1 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives au exchange of 25.43 k; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.37 k, it follows that geld is 024 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4361 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3L 17s. 10k.1. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.101; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at abort being 13.11 e, it follows that gold is 0.17 per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 109 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23 40 per cent., it follows that the exehalige is 0,58 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. Mankind, in general, mistake difficulties for im possibilities. That is the oiffereece between those who effect and those who do not.—Llizu Cook's Journal. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY. DIVIDENDS. In the Country. G.

He was boun d , h ever, reluctantly to expr ess an op i n i on contrary to the principle of the Bill, and should vote against it, becae' d it was a novelty in their legislation, aiming directly 113 0 avowedly at limiting the hours of labour, not in factories where large numbers of people were congregated and ° e s ject to the visits of Government inspectors , but in private dwelling• houses and workshops. He believed that such a system if introduced into this country would be found intolerable; it would apply to all other trades in Wel o of time, and he therefore thought it behoved t; House to cons id er b e , ore any step was taken s such a di rect i on, with its army of commissionerd and hosts of inspectors.

By Jasper Tontsett Judge. A complete Yet condensed narrative of the whole proceedings which have been taken in reference to these interesting and remarkable productions. If only on the score of justice, the writer is entitled to a perusal. PRINCE RUPERT TAKEN PR! SONER. Once more the Austrians charged, and forced the Palatine cavalry back, still struggling, into the defile from whence they had issued; but here they made a firm stand, repulsing every attack, until a body of Aus trians, 800 strong, crept down the hill side, charged the Prince's flank, and put his few remaining troops to the sword or to irretrievable confusion. No thought of retreating ever occurred to the Prince's mind; he struggled onward through his enemies as fast as horse and sword could force their way, when suddenly ho found himself the sole object of attack to a score of cuirassiers; he turned for a moment to cheer on his men, and found himself alone! With a desper a t e effort he broke through his assailants, and soon afterwards, to his surprise, found himself disregarded by the eager enemy. For a moment he was unable to account for their neglect ; until he observed that the Austrians all wore a white ribbon in their helmets as the sign.* lie had by chance adopted the same mark to render himself conspicuous to his followers, and thus passed uninjured among the hostile forces. As he rode through the confused and still struggling bands under this disguise, he observed one of the cornets whom Lord Craven had brought up, struggling with a few gallant soldiers to defend the Elector's standard. In a moment Rupert was in the melee, fighting fiercely till his last comrade fell. Then, once more bursting from his assailants, he rode at a high wall, his ex hausted horse refused it, and sunk upon the ground. His pursuers rushed forward to secure him; but he striking down the foremost man, refused all quarter, and fought desperately on, until over whelmed with numbers, and borne by sheer strength to the ground. Colonel Lippe struck. up tho visor of (his helmet, and, not knowing bis face, de manded who be was? "A colonel," replied the Pala tine. " Sacriniet I" cried the grey-haired veteran, "you are a young one." Just then, General Batzfeldt rode up; be immediately recognised his prisoner, addressed him with respect, and committed him in charge to Colonel Devereux to escort to Warrendoope.—Eliot Warburton's Memoirs of Prinee Rupert. * The similarity of armour and accoutrements ren- dered it necessary for each party to assume some sign or symbol to distinguish them, especially when the face was guarded. FlRE.—This morning, at nine o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises occupied by Mr. Stone, builder and carpenter, siruated in King's Head-yard, at the back of Little Wild•street. The flames suon spread through th e roof, completely gutting the shop, and extending to the back of two or three houses in Little Wild street, te• nauted by a number of poor people. The brigade no on arrived, together with the engine of Messrs. Combo, the brewers, and a plentiful supply of water being at hand, the fire was soon extinguished. GOTTA PERCHA UIIING.—A series of iuteresting experiments has just been concluded at the Birmingham Waterworks, relative to the strength of gutta percha tubing, with a view to its applicability for the convey ance of water. The experiments were made, under the direction of Mr. H. Rote, engineer, upon tubes three quarters of an inch diameter, and one-eighth thick of gutta percha. These were attached to the iron main, and subjected for two moths to a pressure of 200 feet head 16 1014 must man Lion. bl Aldi , )sep t o►' no t. , 148.
