At the foot of the hill the favourite drew away from his horses, and won easily by three lengths; four lengths separating the second and third; Maubourquet was fourth and David Ann fifth, the rest not being perseverd with.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road, in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail way Terminus, at King's-cross. Patron —The QUEEN. President —The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G. Treasurer —Edward Masterman, Esq. This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 540 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 1,000 out-patients a week. The Weekly Ronrd feel it their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAT, to the public for continued mupport, to enable them to t drnit and relieve the distres s i ng cases that daily present themselves.

Legislation has restricted the culture of cotton 'his season to three bales to the hand. A large proportion of the country where this staple is grown under the control of and has been ravaged by the Federals. All the islands where the finer qualities are raised have been abandoned, and the production will be limited to the more inland counties yielding the quality styl.d "commons ;" under no circumstances can the quan tity be large (perhaps a third), and there is no bagging in which to pack it. Even when peace is obtained, and should agricultural industry return to its normal condition, it will be years before the quantity produced prior to the war can be obtained. Many planters have removed their negroes to more fertile lands in the interior and will turn their at tention to short staple, and, in all probability will not re k turn to the culture of Sea Island."

The winner had been quietly backed for some time at long odds for a great deal of money, and the gentlemen win a good stake on him. The double victory of Poland was fully expected, as he started at 2 to 1 against him in his first r-ice, and 6 to 4 on him for the second. He is a fine, slashing goer, and, judged by his performances here, it is by no means certain that he is not quite Al. Molly Carew won with consummate ease, and st'll further confirmed the opinion generally formed, that she is the best two-yr-old yet out, From the delay in the starts for the City and Suburban and the Inkerman Plate, the sport was not concluded till six o'clock, but we rejoice to be able to observe that there was a marked im provement in the starting. For the former several horses were evidently not meant to take a prominent part in the race, and we think they might have been more disre garded than they were, as the slackness of their riders caused Mr. 111q3leorge to postpone the dropping of his flag much longer than there was any occasion for. But, considering the number of short races on the card to day. we think no oause of complaint could fairly be alleged. Very little betting took place on the great Newmarket and Derby events, the only changes of any consequence being quoted below.

This order was maintained till they crossed the road, where Buckenham went up to Argonaut, and between the two a fine race took place, Buckenham ultimately winning by a head, Necro mancer was a bad third, Gelert fourth, Jaco fifth, and Stanton sixth.

After several failures, the early ones caused by the frac tiousness of Middlewatch, and the latter by the evident re luctance of several jockeys to come to the post, the lot got away on good terms. Adventurer at once made play, fol lowed by Umpire, Catch 'em Alive, and Newchurch to the top of the hilt, where Catch 'em Alive, took up the running, Umpire also heading Adventurer, who came on third, 0 beron fourth, Newchurch lying fifth on the inside, with Escape, Gardener, and Mr. Payne's filly close up. Next to these, with a slight interval, followed the ruck, at the head of which were Lapidist and General Hess, the last of all being Sam merside, Amazonian, and Barbadoes. On passing the mile • post Adventurer again went in front, and headed Catch 'em Alivo, the two coming on by themselves, followed at a short distance by Umpire, who was next the lower rails, New church, Spencer, and Comet heading the next division. As they came on towards the stand there was a regular melee among the second lot of horses, and Umpire soon after wards, making his effort, closed with Adventurer, who hung a little to him, and Noble complained of a cross. It was evident, however, that the winner was full of running and it was only in consequence of his being eased that he gave the semblance of going out of his line. The two went on apparently locked together, but Umpire on being called on died away every stride, while Adventurer went in a clever winner by a neck, though evidently capable of in creasing the distance considerably. General Hess was two lengths from Umpire, Comet fourth, and Overton fifth.

HERALD.—We may congratulate Mr. Gladstone and the country upon the evidence which all the leading propositions his Budget furnish of his real readiness to learn, although he makes wry faces in the process. The Bidget he brought before the House of Commons las; night substantially carries out the views put forward by the Conservative party. The army and navy estimates have been reduced, as Mr. Disraeliinsisted they should be, and the proceeds are to be applied to the removal of the war duty on tea and the reduction their educ tionsoufpporthet of m income r. - tax, as the Opposition, by Horsfall's motion, demanded. The great reductions of taxation which the Bidget of last night offers are the work of the leaders of the Oppositions the petty, peddling projects for inconveniencing the public are Mr. Gladstones own. TIMES.—When we have said that in all its principal features the Chancellor of the Exchequer's Finan cial Statement has been fully anticipated, we have pronounced its highest praise. What is best to be done is dictated by circumstances forced upon the observation of all, and the moderate degree of humility and common wee required for acquiesc ing in the general verdict is the quality we are to hope for in a Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Gladstone has the happy art of telling us what we ought to do and must do, and, while binding us to a necessity, flittering us with the sense of free choice and self-respect. He gives us some small taxes to play with; he lets us put on or throw off a few stamps and licences. We try if they will fit, and if they don't something else will. But, on the whole, we do as we are bid. Just now we are re ceiving the reward of our obedience. After endur ing for the last few years an enormous increase of expenditure, we are rewarded by seeing three and a half millions removed from the load, and, though that load is still heavy enough, it is light by comparison. POST.—There can be little doubt that Mr. Glad stone's Budget will meet with a favourable recep tion. With so large an available surplus, the re mission of taxation became an absolute necessity. The income tax is particularly o bnoxious, and there fore in it some diminution was indispensable. But, turning from direct to indirect taxation, there is no commodity which more imperatively demands a re mission of the duty imposed upon it than tea. It has ceased to be a luxury, and has become a neces sary of life. In the stormy debates to which the Budget of 1861 gave rise the Opposition urged the repeal of the tea duty. It will not be therefore in their power to object now to a measure which they were themselves the first to advocate. As Mr. Glad stone well observed, his budget makes no preten sions to originality. Tao points of dispute to which it may possibly give rise will depend rather upon the advisability of remitting taxes to so large an amount than upon the means by which they are remitted. The question will probably be asked, whether in truth the Government can rely upon a surplus of £500,000, and whether in the present condition of Europe and America it is advisable to strike upwards of £3,250,000 out of the revenues of the kingdom. To these questions, however, the Chancellor of the Exchequer will doubtless be able to offer satisfactory replies. DAILY NEWS.—Mr. Gladstone desires the country to regard his present Budget as the fulfilment of a solemn undertaking to reduce the burdens of the country, and relax the " tension " of the national finances. Since the beginning of the Russian war, our expenditure has increased at a rate of more than eighteen per cent. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer benevolently attributes much of this " optional" expenditure—dependent of public feel ing at home, on the policy of foreign states, on the prevailing appetite for expenditure, which grows by expenditure, and whi c h seizes the public, the departments, and responsible Ministers themselves —to the transformation or reconstructions required by the advance of science in the naval and military services. It is not perhaps Mr. Gladstone's business to inquire too closely into this convenient fiction of the War Department. But it is notorious that a Go vernment over the water, not remarkable for military parsimony, has mar.aged its transformations and re constructions farmore efficiently and at half the cost. Have nut jobs, and blunders, and follies, called " fixed forts," swallowed millions of English money, without replacing a wooden fleet, or procuring a serviceable gun P Thanks, however, to our finan cial and commercial policy, even the accumulated distresses of Lancashire and Ireland have not been sufficient to create a deficit iu the Treasury. Last year there was but the shadow of a surplus; this year the revenue shows an increase of £805,000, and the estimated revenue of the opening financial year shows a surplus of £3,741,000. So that in most adverse and trying times the Chancellor of the Ex chequer is enabled to come down to the house and propose not only to strike twopence in the pound off the income-tax, but actually to administer relief to that large class of respectable sufferers who are condemned to pay income tax, not out of their abun dance, but out of their starvation. Mr. Gladstone is the first Minister who has had the courage to alle viate the pressure of the income tax where it is most severely felt, if not to redress the inequalities of its incidence on fixed and precaTions incomes. By fixing £lOO as the limit of liability to the tax, removing the distinction of £l5O incomes, and al lowing every taxable income between £lOO and £2OO to make a deduction of £6O, he has conferred a substantial boon on thousands of deserving vic tims, whose incomes, as he confesses, are tested with terrible accuracy. ADVERTISER.—So favourable a budget could not but be received with frequent and hearty pl au dits by the house. And no less heartily will it be hailed in all parts and by all classes throughout the country. It will he the most popular Budget which hss been submitted to the House of Commo ns f or many years past, and it will contribute very considerably to in crease Mr. Gladstone's popularity w i t h a ll c l asses , great as that popularly previo us l y was. P eop l e will hereafter become in a measure reconciled to the Ithnactoratheo which is tolerable. W e could have wished that Mr. Gladstone had applied his powerful mind to the t u a g s h ; s taitlile far ast f t ro they will, on e an d a ll , a d m it pleasant, it i s now an ev il e consideration of the practicability of making a dis tinction between such incomes as are precarious and those which are fixed and . permane n t. N o d ou bt the matter is surrounded w i th difficulties, but it is the province of a man of genius to grapple with difficul ties, and his glory to overcome them. And of this we feel assured, that had the right hon. gentleman brought his superior intellect to deal with the ques tion, his efforts would have been crowned with suc cess. However, while regretting that he has not dealt with this aspect of the question, we must not be insensible of nor ungrateful for, the amelioration of the pressure caused by The Income-tax, which the provisions of his Budget, as developed last night will insure. The alterations and reductions in the Income-tax will be felt to be a great boon ; and if we are bound to be thankful for small mercies, the nation will not be ungrateful for a blessing of such great magnitude as that which Mr, Gladstone has benevolently bestowed on the whole country. Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The screw steam frigate Orlando, 46, Capt. Ran dolph, from Bermuda, which arrived in Plymouth Sound on Wednesday evening, brought as passen gers Dents. ;!'lore and Gosselin, and Ensigns Leir, White, and Harman, of the 39th Regiment ; Mr. Dennison, engineer, invalided from the screw steam sloop Petrel, 11 ; Commander George W. Watson, nine other naval invalids, and three French naval and two military invalids, from Vera Cruz, landed at Bermuda from the French ships of war Vauban and Albatross. Very fine weather, with the wind from the north-west, was eA perienced on the pas sage home. The crew are all healthy. The ship is in good condition, but leaks about three inches an hour when at sea. She left Plymouth on the 24th of December, 1861. _ _ Her Majesty's screw steam frigate Leander, 51, 2,760 tons, 400-horse power, was taken from her moorings in Sheerness harbour on Wednesday, in charge of Captain T. P. Thompeon, of the Steam Reserve, for the trial of her machinery at the measured mile off Maplin Sands. The machi nery was in charge of Mr. Woolon, chief engi neer of the ship, and Mr. W. Rumble, inspector of machinery afloat. Mr. G. Blaxland, chief engi neer of her Majesty's dockyard at Sheerness, super. intended the working ; Mr. John Dinnin, inspector of machinery from the Admiralty, also attended on the part of the Government. The trial was not quite successful, owing to excessive priming, and the vessel was therefore taken out again on Thurs day, in charge of the same officials, when a com pletely successful trial was made, with the following results ;—True mean speed at full boiler power, 10.448 knots per hour ; revolutions—maximum 57, mean 55 to 56 per minute ; pressure of steam, 20 ; vacuum, forward and aft, 24 ; draught of water, fore 19ft. 9in., aft 21ft. llin. ; temperature—main deck, 56 deg. ; engine-room, 68 deg. ; stokehole, maximum, 110 deg., minimum 74 deg. The vessel is fitted with Griffith's screw, pitch 24ft., length 3ft,, immersion of upper edge 2ft. 6in. The Leander was commissioned on Tuesday last, when a pennant was hoisted by Mr. Denton H. Spicer, master, for Capt. Thomas Harvey, late of the Cressy. She is being fitted with additional cabins and appliances for a Commander and staff of a Commodore, as she will carry a Commodore's pennant, Capt. Harvey being appointed the senior officer on the southern division of the Pacific station. Her Majesty's steam storeship Supply, Master Commander W. A. Balliston, from the Mediter ranean, yesterday arrived at Woolwich laden with returned stores. The following appointments were made on Wednesday at the Admiralty :—Commander Fran cis M. Prattent to the Leander ; Lieut. W. Ede C. Cookson and Lieut. H. M'lnroy to the Leander; Lieutenant Cecil G. S. Stanley to the Edgar ; Lieut. G. D. Bushe to the Archer; Lieut. W. N.

Fal con, assist.-paymaster, to the Leander; Hamilton Williams, clerk, to the Leander ; Frederick It. G. Wright, clerk, to the Cumberland ; William S. Watson, assist.-clerk, to the St. Vincent ; and Clement P. Penny, assist.-clerk, to the Leander. RUSSIAN MANIFESTO. In addition to the manifesto relative to an amnesty, the following ukase was addressed by the Emperor of Russia to the Senate, bearing the same date, the 12th April " The rebellion which had been a long time pre pared in secret, and which has at last broken out in the kingdom of Poland, has also led to disorders in some parts of the western provinces of the Empire. The unseen authors of the movement against our Government, obstinately opposing the realisation of our kind intentions for the organisraion of the affairs of the kingdom, have endeavoured to increase the difficulties which we were encountering in that task by enlarging the circle of their criminal undertak ings and of their pernicious influence. With those views they had for a long time past been seeking to shake the feelings of devotedness towards us of our faithful subjects of the western governments. With that object they have employed the same means which within the limits of the Polish kingdom have had such deplorable though incomplete results. Lastly, armed bands have crossed the frontier of the Em pire, in order to spread in the western countries the disorders which neither the attempts of the revolu tionary emissaries nor their clandestine invitations to revolt had been able to excite. Our troops have dispersed the bands which had shown themselves in the Governments bordering on the Kingdom of Poland, and their remains are pursued in the woods in which they have sought refuge. However, in spite of the folly of a hopeless struggle, the chiefs continue to exercise all their efforts to mislead the peaceable populations, and employ with that object sometimes promises, sometimes menaces, and some times violence. Those inhabitants of the western Governments who had joined the rebel bands and have been taken by our troops, or those whose parti. cipation in the revolt has been proved by any other means, are given over to justice. But we know that all are not equally guilty, and we wish to give them the means of profiting by our feelings of sovereign clemency. With that view, We command that the superior authorities shall be charged to declare within the limits of the localities confided to them, that We grant en entire and complete pardon to all the inhabitants of the west implicated in tho!edis orders, who not having incurred ary respon sib ility for other crimes, shall return to obedienc e e that the 13th of May next. We mainta before appreciated by this sovereign favour will be all well intentioned persons,:jo:dsitatilaton their side, the maintenance they will continue to co-opeur of order end the public tranzdislaty, firmly convinced the realisation of the that on this condition mencement of our mien plans which, since the.dcehoPme tbe idea of extending -. the ' We have conceived faithfult subjects and of pro gressivelyrights granted to .

The directing Senate is charged with the task of taking the necessary measures for the execution of the present ukase. " ALEXANDER."

Homiman's Tea is uncoloured, therefore, always goo d alike, Sold in paokets by 2.280 agents. ral Butler last night addressed a n audience of A letter dated New "Y`ork, April 3, about 4,000 people assembled at th e Academy of s ays : —Gene- Music. He told his admiring listeners, many of whom were ladies, that he would show no mercy. He did not desire the restoration of the Union BB it was. He desired to punish the rebels, to hang them, to reduce them to beggary, to confisc , ,te their pro perty, and to parcel out their plantations among the Northern soldiers. He advecited the arming of the slaves npinst, their waste's and mistresses as a war measure amply just fled by necessity, and the re duction of the whole South to the condition of a conquered territory, having no rights but such as the gracious conquerors should choose to bestow upon it as an incentive to future good conduct. As regards foreign natious, and especially Great Britain—which to seems to hate with an earnest ness of hatred, such as General Haynan in all pro bability felt for the draymen of Messrs. Barclay and Perkins—he was equally truculent and arrogant. " It may not have been wise," he said, "at the time of the affair of the Trent to provoke England ; but, thank God, we were getting into a position to remember that case ;" and at this amiable suggestion the war fanatics burst into a wild fit of enthusiasm. " From pit to ceiling," saye a delighted reporter, " the little perfumed squares of cambric waved like so many miniature flags," while the men sprang to their feet and cheered lustily. " What was the remedy," he asked as the cheers sub sided, " For English sympathy with the South, and for the fitting out of Alabamas and Floridas in English ports to prey upon the commerce of the North ? The remedy was non-intercourse. They should proclaim non-intercourse, so that no ounce of American food should by any accident get into an Englishman's mouth until these piracies were stopped. He would also stop the exportation of gold, so that Western products would have to be shipped to France, instead of to England, to be ex changed for silks and laces." These sentiments were enthusiastically cheered ; and the great Butler, blushing at his own glory, and for the time being the happiest and best appreciated public man in America, retired from public gaze amid a group of hero worshippers, all anxious to shake bands with him. Mr. Lincoln and all the ambitious Generals and financiers who have an eye to the Presidency must look to themselves. The strong man who is to sit in his chair, dispense his patronage, wield his power, and direct the destinies of the North promises to be Benjamin Franklin Butler. ROYAL BURGHS OF SCOTLAND. The annual convention of the Royal Burghs of Scotland was held at Edinburgh on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh being appointed Preses. Sixty-one Royal Burghs were re presented. It was resolved to present addresses to the Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales, expressive of the joy which the Royal marriage had occasioned throughout the country. It was i e a favour s r ee o u f t the Bill, Borough but by 26 agreed by 46 to 7 to petition against the Religious Instruction of Prisoners Bill. It was agreed to Residence tu 22 petition u Uniform fur ui n mu it was carried to limit the approval to the principle of the bill, which set forth the necessity of defining the point of measurement of the seven miles within which proprietors in burghs residing beyond it retain the right to vote, and to petition that, in stead of the boundary as prescribed by the bill, the point should be the market cross, town-hall, or other central place. The Provost of Dumfries put a question to the Preses on the subject of the precedence recently given to Dublin before Edin burgh in the presentation of addresses to the QneeN, and the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, to whom the matter was one of personal status, assured the convention that the right of Edinburgh as the elder capital of the United Kingdom to Dublin would not be lost sight of. A motion by the Asses sor of Stranraer as to the enormous quantityofgun pwder in Edinburgh Castle (about 100 tons, or 2,700 barrels) was withdrawn on the representation of other members that the matter might be safely left to the magistrates of Edinburgh. The conven tion adjourned till the first Tuesday of April, 1864, having remitted to a standing committee to act for the convention in regard to the various bills before Parliament affecting the interests of the burghs and of the general community.

GREAT SUCCESS OF BLONDIN IN BARCELONA. —A correspondent informs us that Blondin com menced his Continental tour in the arena at Barcelona, on April 6th. His reception was most enthusiastic, and a perfect furore of excitement continued throughout the per formance. Subsequent representations have been equally successful. He is shortly to appear in Madrid. STRIKE OF THE PARISH LABOURERS AT PRESTON. —Yesterday, several fresh regulations were issued regarding the time and place of work of the men em ployed by the Guardians of Preston. Hitherto, the men have worked on alternate days, the average of their time being about five hours each day. According to the new regulations, the men have to work every day from 9 to 12 and from 2 to 5, and several who have hitherto worked on the Moor havebeen sent to the Cattle Market excavations. The labourers entirely object to these rules : firstly, beelinee they have to work longer hours without any extr h a an l c i and, secondly, because many of them, through position of their labour, had to walk several additional miles from and to their homes. Yesterdayerat would at once Moor; but on being told that the.nebow nerdy d rettised to work. h n3 g e id:d g it , lor b l men assembled as usual at the Cattle Molaers-k and on the come into operation, the gepe. r . a t h i e , or a in g some stand gingthin They remained on - th! ground d h tall determined to stand out , which e ,n many iotf was haesm intim a ted i n dul hitherto; ably and comfortably at allb had been made.

Mason, a clergyman of the Established Church, who for many years held a situa tion in the office of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, was returning in the Ulster mail steamer from Holyhead this morning, when he deliberately threw himself into the sea and was drowned, notwithstanding the most strenuous efforts to save him. He wrote a letter to the captain which leaves no room to doubt that he contemplated self-destruc- tion. An old four-horse stage coach will era long be less a novelty than premature grey hair, which is fast disappearing under the effects of Herring's magnetic brushes and combs. which recent improvements have rendered almost infallible in restoring the colour to grey hair, and also in removing the agony of tie doloreux and nervous headache.

This kind manner on Russia, In the hope that by raising a partial insnrrEetion she would obtain a pretext for eradicating the disturbing element in the coun try, she began tile ermseription ; but the giant of revolution she thereby evoked not only bAltd her plays, but now threatens her very existence in Europe. Fearful of the spread of the insurrection s he imprisoned 5 1 :,0 nobles of that pro vince;the effect of this measure was only to spreadt o Lithuania, alarmbut and disgust among the rest of the inhabitants, and nowhere does the flame of revolu tion rage so fiercely as in Lithuania. And now the appointment of General Berg and the sequestration of the property of the insurgents has only served to fan the flame, and by rendering forfeiture and per secution the consequences of submission, to leave no alternative to Poland but continued and despe rate resistance. The fighting of the last week bas been spread pretty equally over the whole of the Congress King dom (which is literally overrun with insurgents) and in Lithuania, On the 4th 500 Russian infantry and a sotnia of Cossacks attacked 150 Poles under Oxinski in the district of Wielun. The battle lasted four hours, and ended with the retreat of both sides. The Poles lost ten killed and two prisoners. Among the killed were several who had been wounded and taken prisoner by the Russians during the battle, and who after the battle were tortured to death, the Cossacks tearing out their bowels with the point of their lances. A large number of Russians fell be fore the accurate and effective fire of the Poles. On Easter Sunday 230 Polish rifles and 32 uhlana under Grekowicz, encountered a large body of Russians at Szklara, near the Galician frontier. The Poles were on a hill, and the RIIBBiOB occupied another hill with some cottages at its foot. A company of rifles, led by a French Zouavet began the battle by attempting to dislodge the Russians from these cottages. A storm of bullets was at once directed upon them by the Russians on the hill, but nearly all missed ; and the Poles, ad vancing under cover of the trees, captured the cottages with the loss of but one or two men. The struggle in these cottages was a fierce one, and many of the Russians were killed. While this was going on in the valley, the Polish rifles on the hill, most of whom were excellent shots, directed a mur derous fire on the Russians opposite, who at length wavered and fled. The Poles then took up their wounded, and sent them across the frontier, where the Austrians took ch ar g e of them. They had scarcely done this when they were attacked by another body of Russians, who, however, were also forced to retire after a determined struggle. They lost at least 100 men ; the Poles had 9 killed and 20 wounded, an_ong the latter of whom was their leader. Next day the Russians approached them in such force that the insurgents thought it advis able to disperse. They have, however, since re appeared in another part of the country. CRACOW, April 11. M. Srzanowski, the editor of the Czas, was ar rested this morning. Thirty-one Frenchmen, who were about to cross the frontier to join the insur gents, have also been seized and imprisoned. M. Bentkowski, who until the breaking out of the insurrection represented one of the districts of Posen in the Prussian Chamber, and who acted in Langiewicz's army as chief of the Staff, is still con fined in the castle. Like Langiewicz, he is a Prus sian subject, and was for some time an officer in the Prussian Artillery, which he left in 1848 to join the Hungarian insurrection. Most of the arrests which are now made every day in Cracow are said to be the result of denuncia tions from the Russian Ambassador atVienna, based upon the reports of Russian spies resident here. Every now and then a Russian spy is caught and beaten. This was the fate of one the day before yesterday. Another was chased about the market place for a little while, but having long legs as well as long eats he made good running and ultimately got off. A third, after receiving a few blows, was discovered not to be a spy at all, but only a person who, from a natural and ill-regulated thirst for in formation, had acquired a habit of going into cafes and listening to remarks not addressed to him. it is said now that Langiewicz's camp was much infested ty spies, and that his halting place for the night, the direction he took in commencing a march, &c., were always made known by means of shots fired off as if by accident. A spy who followed the army at a distance of some few hundred yards un derstood the signals, One and transmitted the news to important the Russian camp. of the numerous stories cu rrent as to Langiewicz's arrest attributes the dis covery ld o f t h h e i sAiudsetnr Austrian identity g y to the m es agency w h what tf an a spy, who con trived to follow him without being observed , prisoner they had allowed to escape them while he was still witnin reach. The Dictator appears him , self to have suspected that spies might be on his track. The greater portion of the troops formerly un der Langiewicz are now once more in the field. The two detachments which left the bulk of the army before Langiewicz's departure have kept their ground ever since ; and some half dozen detach ments, of from 150 to 200 men each, have once more crossed the frontier from Galicia to the kingdom during the last 10 days.
