(From the Overland Bombay Times, Oct. 17.) SUMMARY.—Our details of news by the present mail are of the most meagre description, nothing of the slightest public interest—political or domestic— having transpired since the date of our last dispatch. The general dearth of interesting matters for discus sion seems to be felt throughout the length and breadth of the land; and the leading journals of Madras have actually been compelled to resort, for want of matter more exciting to write about, to turn round upon the governor and government of that presidency, and rate them soundly, for no other reason that we can see than that Sir Henry Pottinger and his coun cil, according to their ideas of the subject matter of animadversion, do nothing for the good of the public, and afford no service in return for the salaries they receixe. If this really be so, why then here is a case of no small importance ready made for the Thomp sons, the Lewins, the flumes, and the rest of the host of grievance-mongers, to badger the East India Conipany about to their hearts' content. It is gratifying, however, to find that there is still a remnant of loyalty left amongst the " benighted" and that the whole of the community do not participate in the " Red" views of the local press, for we see it stated in the Spectator that it is in contem plation to give a public dinner at the banquetting room to Sir G. I3srkeley, the out-going Commander in-Chief of Madras, as a mark of respect previous to his approaching departure from India. Lieutenant- General Sir Richard Armstrong, his Excellency's successor in the command, arrived at Madras in the Barham on the 28th ult.; we regret to see it stated that he was in a bad state of health, and was unable to land until the day after his arrival. One of the north-west papers mentions that there are " mysterious whispers" abroad of an intended ex pedition to the Khyber during the ensuing cold wea ther. The particular object of the expedition has not transpired, but it is rumoured that the force to be organised for the purpose will consist of about 5,000 men of all arms, including two Goorka regiments and a troop of Horse Artillery. It is thought probable that Brigadier-General Sir Hugh Wheeler will com mand the force when it takes the field, notwithstand ing that he has expressed his intention of returning to England shortly to repose upon the laurels he has already so nobly won in repeated actions with the enemy in the field. Sir Hugh was invested by the Governor-General with the insignia of a Knight Commander of the Bath on the 80da ult. at Simlah. The ceremony of the investiture is mentioned as having been on a grand scale, the whole of the so ciety of the station having been invited to attend to do honour to the occasion. The Lahore Chronicle, which is usually well in formed on the fact of matters on which it writes, states that notwithstanding the frequent outcries of the Calcutta press, the Governor-General has, at DO very distant period, recorded his deliberate opinion that the supreme government should be located in the North-Western provinces. Is appeared to be his Lordship's wish to unite a larger proportion of north west government to the Punjaub, and to form the whole into one presidency, the limits of the two to be somewhere about Allahabad, the Govern ment of Bengal annexing the provinces west of Scene, as far as Allahabad. In the event of this plan being carried out under the provisions of the new charter, it is proposed that the residence of the Governor of the north-west pro vinces should be at Simla—the subordinate offices, as well as those connected with the Supreme Govern ment, being located at Umbel's'. Our Lahore con temporary gives this as an explanation of the evident anxiety that has for some time past been manifested to complete the greatly improved communication between Simla and the plains now in progress. It is further stated that the object which the Lieutenant- Governor of Agra (Mr. Thoinason) has in view in visiting Lahore and the Punjaub, is to gather such information during his progress as will enable him to record his opinions on the feasibility and advisability of the plans proposed by the most Noble the Marquis Dalhousie. Another rumour has it that Mr. Thoma son will be the first Governor of the Lahore Presi dency, the civil members of the existing Board of Administration becoming a Board of Revenue. In case of these important measures being carried out, it is thought a change will also take place in the consti tution of the army, which will, it is said, be then separated into two divisions, which will be designated the " Bengal " and " Lahore " armies. We see it stated in the Calcutta papers that the native landholders of that city are forming a society for the purpose of appointing a representative who will advocate their interests in the Parliament at home in the discussions on the renewal of the Company's charter. The association has been established under the euphonious designation of the " Daisbaturthee Somej," or " Society ; for the good of the country." The object is to be accomplished by raising contribu tions from the natives of the soil, and the sub,crip tion will continue for three years, as the discussions will not, it is expected, come to a final issue till the end of that period. It is rumoured that Major G. Ramsay, assistant to the Resident of Nsgpore, has been appointed to act sa Resident of Kattnandou during the absence of Mr. Dakine from Nepaul. At the ordinary monthly meeting of the Bombay Geographical Society held on the 9th inst., that body recorded a resolution expressing the deep grief of the society for the loss of Captain J. P. Sanders, of the Indian Navy, one of the oldest and ablest of its mem bers, whose contributions have so often adorned the pages of its " Transactions." Lord and Lady Falkland and suite arrived at Ma habuleshwar, from Daporee, on the sth inst , and will, it is expected, take up their winter quarters at Parell early in next month. Sir John Grey and staff are also at the Hills, and will return to the Pre sidency about the same time as the Governor. Captain Nixon, of the 6th Bombay Native Infan try, has just been tried by general court- martial on the following charges—the decision of the court has not yet been promulgated : FIRST CHARGE.—For disgraceful conduct, in having at Bombay, on or about the sth of August, 1851, embezzled and fraudulently misapplied the sum of 600 rs., being a part of the sum of 13,000 rs. en trusted to him by the presidency paymaster for the payment of the 6th Regiment Native Infantry, for the month of July, 1851. SECOND CHARGE.—For disgraceful conduct, in having at Bombay, on or about the 11th of August, 1851, wilfully and knowingly rendered to Lieutenant Jervis Harpur, the acting paymaster of the 6th Re giment Native Infantry, a false statement of his cash account from let to 11th August, 1851, showing an advance of only 12,400 rs. as received in that period, whereas he had received from the presidency pay master on or about the sth day of August, 1851, an advance of 13,000 rs. THIRD CHARGE.—For disgraceful conduct, in having between the 9th of February, 1846, the date on which he assumed charge of the regimental pay office, and the 11th of August, 1851, embezzled and fraudulently misapplied the sum of 172444.9 rs., or thereabouts, being monies entrusted to him as regimental paymaster for military purposes. We observe in the columns of one of the local pa pers an intimation that the Guicowar of Baroda has suspended his Dewan ; but, with our contemporary, we fear it is too good news to be true. (From the Singapore Free Press of October 6 ) The accounts from Labuan are encouraging as far as they go. The Eastern Archipelago Company are now raising a considerable quantity of coals monthly, although not so much as they might have been ex pected to do by this time. From Siam we continue to receive the most favour able accounts of the state of affairs there. By latest arrivals we learn that the King has given orders for a large addition to be forthwith made to the city of Bangkok. He has also established a printing-press, at which works are to be produced in Siamese and English, for the enlightenment of his subjects. His llsjesty has also directed a general revision of the laws of the kingdom, so that they may be made as equitable as possible, and we understand he has ex pressed his firm intention that equal justice shall be deelt out to all alike, high and low, rich and poor. Our shipping news this month will be found to re cord the loss of several vessels, English and American in the waters of the Indian Archipelago. Among these are two American ships, one the clipper Mem non, bound to London, with 1,400 chests of teas on hoard, and the other the ship George Browne, from California, in ballast. The English barque Metro polis, wrecked on Bintang som e weeks ago, was a l s o a tea ship, h av i ng 5 ,000 chests on board, and bound for Halifax, in North America. The wreck has since been brought t o Si ngapore b y th e Hon. Company's steamer Hooghly, and sold by auction for 8,150 dolls., under en order of the Admiralty Court. Grey Shirting:; -40 X 45 in. All descriptions very dull, with the exception of 66 to 72 reeds, of the former former for which there exi,:ts some demand. Madapollaws—The mark -, :t is overstocked, and little or no inquiry exi,is. Long Cloth—lu consequence of the injudicious forc ing of several safes, we have to notice the decline in value of about 4 annas per piece. T. Cloth—A smaller demand exists than at the date of our last, and on 6155. and upwards prices have receded 2 to 3 annas per piece. Domestic—For coarse and heavy 40-inch wide there exists a moderate inquiry; the finer fabrics are less asked for. Bleached Goods—For shirting upwards of 66 reeds there exists a slight inquiry; from 60 downwards, very dull. Jacconct —The medium and finer qualities are some times asked for, the lower sorts are very dull. Twills meet with small inquiry. Satin Spots ditto. Turkey R-d—Plain and twill very dull of sale ; mulls in slight inquiry at a reduction of 2 to 3 aunas per piece. Cotton Yarn— A farthf r dkclination in price has oc curred, in con , equence of tho Itare supply which has been sent into the market, and the ulixiety displayed on the part of importers to realise. Dyed—Orange in moderate request; Turkey red in small inquiry. Woollens show no improvement ; 7,000 yards flannel sold at 13 aonas; and 3,500 yards printed flannel at 14 annas. Metals—Engli.h and Swedish bar iron are dull, and prices have receded; the same may be said of sheet iron and Lail-rod, both round and square; a slight inquiry exists for hoops, and for Swedish steel in tubs there also is some request ; in faggot it is dull; spites. is not asked after, and has slightly fallen in price; lead, both pig and sheet, without change. Copper—Braziers' and sheeting, as well as tiles, rather dull ; nails slightly advanced; South American dull. Cochineal very dull ; prices have receded one anna per lb. 2001bs. cochineal, Rs. 1 10 0 per lb. Saffron—A large supply has just been received, and prices have fallen to Rs. 18. Beer—Allsopp is steady at our last quotations, and about 100 hhds have been disposed of. The nominal wholesale price of Bass having been reduced to Rs. 50, 200 hbds. of that brand have alio sold, feaving only about 50 hhds. in stock. Of other brands 220 hilds. appear to have sold at various prices, as detailed in our report. Spirits—Brandy in wood in request, in bottle dull, gin dull in both wood and bottle. 50 hhds. brandy, in terior quality, Rs. 2 per gallon ; 5 qr casks Dunbar's ditto, Es. 3 per gallon. Wine—We hear of the following sale-10 qr. casks and 2 hhds. sherry wine, of 130 gallons, Rs. 275 0 0 per cask. Marino Stores—Canvas, both bleached and brown, in slight inquiry, but the prices quoted are no better than before; cordage in good request, and linseed oil also in demand; spirits of turpentine dull, as is also twine. Paint of the best quality in request. Bottles—Quarts scarce, 1 6-16th per dozen, and pints 1 1-16th—of the latter 40 gross sold at quotation. 60 gross empty pint bottles, Rs. 1 10 per gross. Cotton Wool—Market dull, and prices inclined to fall. We have heard of no purchases having been made for the English market. For China the natives continue buying, rand most :of the holders export to China on their own account. Since our last report scarcely any variation in price has occurred. 200 bales Broach and Jusaboosur, Rs. 95 per candy. Opium—Nothing has been doing in the market since the departure of the steamer for China. Prices seem in clined to fall, and our present quotations are nominal. Freight—The rates to England are slightly higher; for London and Liverpool our quotations are 21. 10s. to 21. 12s. 6d.; to China the rate has receded to Rs. 151 per candy. Exchange is without alteration; the rate of the day is 2s. Old. to 2s. Old. for six months' sight, inclined to ad vance—on Calcutta, 1 per cent. prom.; on China, Rs. 222 per 100 dollars. CALCUTTA MARKETS, OCT. 7. (From the Calcutta Star.) AICNEY MARKET.—Though all our subscribers and readers in this country are well aware that the past week or ten days have been a holiday, and that the date of our present issue falls in the midst of the idleness, as far as business is concerned, and the gaieties and festivities of our longest annual vacation, yet the circumstance may not readily occur to our home subscribers, and an India mail coming in without the usual copy of the Cal cutta Commercial Review might induce the conclusion that we had discontinued its publication, or some other surmise equally unfavourable. We take, therefore, these circumstances into consideration, and not wishing to risk the loss of the valuable support our paper enjoys, we have determined on issuing a few lines explanatory of the reasons of our not giving the usual comprehensive Summary of Commercial Intelligence. The fact is, we have nothing to report, and think we can hardly do better than extract from the commercial columns of the Calcutta Morning Chronicle of Saturday last, the 4th instant, what that paper gave for its usual weekly Commercial Report. The last mail from England has caused some little uneasiness here. • In addition to the report of the failure of one mer cantile firm in London, whose name is given, it is reported that there are others, and that an extensive failure was reported for the amount of 500,0001. We have no failures here to report, but we greatly fear this happy inability on our part will not continue long. The holidays are drawing to their close, and doubtless next mail hence will take out more disastrous intelli gence. During the vacation several arrivals have been announced, and it is feared that when business re•opens, the position of the import market will be found by no means to have improved. We take from the Chronicle the following : " CALCUTTA, OCT. 4, 1851.—We can hardly be ex pected to give a report of the commercial doings of the week ; the period since our last report has been absorbed in complete inactivity as regards commercial matters, and the goddess Doorgala has engrossed the greatest share of the time, attention, and, as regards the natives, the means of commercial and non-commer cial people of this great city. The whole week has been absorbed in holidays—counting-houses have been closed, offices shut, and even the little peddling shops have had their locks to their gates. Calcutta is out of town, and the wheals of business have not been heard to creak. Holiday-making, holiday. taking, and holiday-enjoying have been the order of the day, although we must con fess we never remember circumstances being so unfa vourable to the full enjoyment of a holiday feeling. The mail of 25th August has come in, and the intelligence it conveys is far from satisfactory. Things have been gra dually becoming worse, and now we learn the natural consequence, in the shape of failures and rumours of failures. We take the following from an evening con temporary, which gives a correct idea of the position and prep cts of things when business was suspended this day week:— " Business closed on Saturday with a very gloomy aspect; portentous clouds had for some time before hung upon the commercial horizon, and the general expecta tion was, that they would break in a deluge of mischief even before the commencement of the Doorgall Poojahs. Several wealthy natives in the Bazaar had suspended, and rum , ur began to be busy with the names of more than ono European house.

Although during the month now ending it is known that there hos been a considerable amount of turbu lent weather in our immediate vicinity, causing seve ral vessels to put in for repairs, we have not in Hong- Kong expAienced anything particularly remarkable. Oa the 2d the wind, which for four days previously had been blowing from the north, sometimes veering a little to the east, at otheri from the west, came on quite fresh from the last mentioned quarter (NA V.), the barometer from 29.51 (thermometer 83) descend ing at midnight to 29.42 (thermometer 82) the gale at about 10 P.M. blowing in furious gusts from the eastward, having come round by the north; it mode rated, however, the next morning at E.S.E.

Yesterday the member of sick amounted , 127, viz . of the 59ji Regiment, 93 ; of the Ceylon 17 ; End of the Ordnance, 17 ; the prevailing disease among the Ear, pearls being ague and bowel complaint. The former is doubtless induced by weak ness after summer fever, the latter we fear from the bad quality of the bread reported as again being sup- plied by the commissariat contractor, all the good flour obtainable by Chinese having been exported from the colony to meet the sudden demand for breadstuffs in New South Wales. Altogether there have been seven deaths since our last report, namely, four of the 59th Regiment (besides that of Pr. Powell), one of the Ceylon Rifles, and two gun lascars. This is just half the number of deaths in the month of September last year. On board the Minden there are about 130 convalescents, those from fever being said to re cover rapidly. On the whole there is an improve ment in the general health as compared with that of last month, the average daily sick having been 103 only, against (in August) 123. Since the departure of the Malta on the 24th ult. Hong-Kong news mongers have been quite at a loss for something to talk and write about. The Peninsula and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Pekin ar rived with the mails on the 10th instant, bringing on reports of the debate on the estimates, which have furnished our local contemporaries with the means of filling up several columns with long leading articles in two successive issues, promising to run on into a third each. The Spanish brig Brilliante is reported to have been destroyed by pirates, off Linting, an island within sight of vessels anchored in the western part of our harbour. The Brilliante left here on the 10th July, having, beside the mails from Europe, a large amount of specie on board. The Flash and Aurora, which left China on the same day as the Brilliante, both reached Manilla, after long passages, previous to the dispatch of the Auckland schooner Lightning, which came in o❑ the 231 inst., reporting the Tiempo and Philomela as having left before her. The last mentioned vessel has not yet arrived. NAVAL.—Admiral Moresby embarked yesterday morning at ten o'clock A.M. He was accompanied to his gig by her Britannic Majesty's Consul-General, the Kuhina Nui, and the King's Ministers, Mr. Judd and Mr. Wyllie. The frigate proceeded to sea at twelve o'clock, bound to Valparaiso. The gallant Admiral and his officers have left a most favourable impression upon ail classes in this community.

CANTON.—Business during the month has again been more than ordinarily brisk, sales of manufactured goods having been effected at improved rates, and purchases of tea and other produce (which have been shipped freely), on whet aro considt•red easy terHie. A peculiar feature as regards the tea market is the excess of this season's shipments over the amount shipped at same period last year, being from Canton alone 1,700,000 lbs, extra. SIIANGHAE.—This mail will take home the market re ports of two months. Eleven days of strong southerly winds kept the Island Qoeen out of port with the Shang • hae mails until the day af.er the Malta left.

PAR'EURE FOIL AMERICA. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company have placed o ne o f t h e i r sp l en did steamers at the service of Kossuth, to convey him down South ampton Water to emable him to embark on board the Ocean steamer Humb o ldt i n C owes R oa d s . Kossuth is expected at Southampt on at t en o ' c l oc k on Thurs day. morning. He will proceed from the railway station to the residence of the American Consul, J. R. Croskey, Esq. After a short stay at the American consulate, the illustrious Magyar will proceed to the docks, and embark on board the steamer placed at bis disposal, where a splendid dejeiiner will be provided for him and his friends, which will be partaken of while the vessel is proceeding down Southampton Water. Other steamers will run from Southampton to Cowes in the middle of the day on Thursday, to convey persons to see the Hungarian patriot embark on board the Humboldt. The scene and proceedings in the Southampton Docks on Thurs day will be most interesting and exciting, owing to the great concourse of persons which is likely to be assembled there, a concourse which, it is expected, will not be inferior in magnitude to that which greeted Kossuth when he arrived in this cow). try. At the same time that Kossuth will leave the docks the Bentinck steamer will leave the same spot with the Indian M.lll. Captain Killock, the com mander of the Bentinck, which is one of the largest steamers belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Company, would have conveyed Kossuth to Cowes, but owing to the immense number of passengers for India she will have on board, she would be unable to accommodate the large number of friends who are anxious to accompany the Magyar hero, to see him safely on board the Humbolt. Immense preparations are making at Southampton to celebrate the departure of Kossuth from Engla nd on his mission to the United States. The corporation of Southampton meet to day to make arrangements to conduct those prepara tions, and to give them o ffi cial sanction and guidance. The Mayor of Southampton has returned fr om Lon don, and is indefatigable in devising measures calcu lated to render the reception of Kossuth in Southamp ton on the day of his departure of the most cordial and splendid description. 'From the Overland Friend of China, of Sept. 29.) 1 / 4 The rebellion in the south of China has now been of such long duration, and the means of obtaining correct reports of its progress are so meag re, that we confess to being fairly tired at having to furnish, month after month, details of such a vague nature re garding it. We write on the subject, moreover, under a difficulty; for, whilst there are some who, having for a long time endeavoured to throw dis credit on the report, that there was any rebellion at all, are now desirous of making it appear that the long-continued troubles are simply the ravages of a band of freebooters, whose return to peaceful habits, together with that of their leader, the renowned Tien-teh, will eventually be purchased with appoint ments to office, and other emoluments, there are others who object to the reporting of any information of what is going on, on the simple ground that Chinese reporters are so generally untruthful that to publish anything they furnish is sheer folly. As we cannot fall in with the latter course (and there are perhaps very few of our readers who would wish us to do so) we exercise a continual endeavour to obtain every possible infor mation, selecting from the mass those parts which bear the appearance of truth. Governor-General Seu is now at Kou-chan-fu, in the south-west of the Fang-tung province, from whence he has ordered out more troops, and a body of several hundreds of Tung-kwang district men passed up the Canton river on the 20th instant, bound to Lo-ting-chau, about a degree and a half north of liou-chau, and immediately on the borders of Kwang-si.

SHAKSPERE AND KOSSUTH, TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS. Sir,—lt is written in the brief history made known to us of Kossuth, that in an Austrian prison he was taught English by the words of the teacher Shaks p9re. An Englishman's blood glows with the thought that, from the quiver of the immortal Saxon, Kossuth has furnished himself with those arrowy words that kindle as they fly—words that are weapons, as Austria will know. Would it not be a graceful tribute to the genius of the man who has stirred our nation's heart, to pre• sent to him a copy of Sh:dispere ? To do this, I would propose a penny subscription. The large amount of money obtained by these means, the cost of the work itself being small, might be expended on the binding of the volumes, and on a casket to con tain thorn. There are hundreds of thousands of Englishmen who would rejoice thus to endeavour to manifest their gratitude to Kossuth for the glorious words he has uttered among us, words that have been as pulses to the nation. I remain, your obedient servant, DOUGLAS JERROLD. West Lodge, Putney common, Nov. 17. LITERATURE TALES AND TRADITIONS OF HUNGARY: 3 Vols. By Francis and Theresa Pulszky. Col burn and Co. Under any circumstances these volumes could not but prove singularly attractive. At present, how ever, they will he welcomed with especial cordiality. The reader will bear in recollection not merely the fact that Francis Pulszky is still resident in our me tropolis, but that England is enjoying the privilege, moreover, of receiving with all hospitality the illus trious man who deputed him to this country some three years since, as the Hungarian Ambassador. It was scarcely possible for an intimate personal friend of Louis Kossuth, and for one who was also his political associate during the great war of inde pendence, to pass altogether free from sharing in the calumnies directed against the distinguished leader of his compatriots. Francis Puhzky has therefore par ticipated of late, and that somewhat largely, in the odium (if as such it can be regarded) of the vitupera tions indulged in towards the champions of the Magyar race by the apologists of continental abseltr ism. As au evidence of the flimsy pretexts upon which those slanderous aspersions have been raised, it is only necessary to observe that Pulszky has been assailed of lice with very considerable violence, simply because of the manner in which he was cur sorily mentioned the other day in a newspaper para graph. Remarking that the writer of that pira graph spoke of our author as Count Francis Pulszky, the assailants of the cause of Hungary alluded to that unoffending gentleman in terms of the most scurrilous description, as a pretender to a rank alto gether suppositious. It would seem that these writers are wholly ignorant of a fact sufficiently notorious to the rest of the educated community, that throughout Hungary almost every gentleman is a member of the national aristocracy. Supposing even that Francis Pulszky came not in any way under this category, and that his designation as Count was en tirely incorrect, it would assuredly be somewhat unfair to speak of him derisively as an upstart, assuming to himself an unmerited dignity, purely because of a blunder on the part of a misinformed penny-a-liner. Whether the work before us is from the hand of Count Francis Pulszky or from that of Mr. Francis Pulszky, it is manifestly the effusion of a patriot, a scholar, and a gentleman. As such it is welcome to us, more peculiarly when it is remembered that the three volumes under con sideration afford those who may have been previously unacquainted with the subject some accurate notion of the peculiarities of life and manners among the heroic and betrayed Hungarians. In his literary labours, as compiler, adapter, or translator, Francis Pulszky has been admirably aided by his accom plished wife, Theresa Pulszky, and the result of their labour has been the production of a work eminently calculated to afford at one and the same time a con siderable amount both of instruction and entertain ment. In the first volumes are collected together no less than twenty of the shorter " Tales and Tra ditions" relating to Hungary, the second and third being dedicated to the story of the " Jacobins in Hungary." Our authors have very gracefully in scribed the former, or the miscellaneous portion of them, to Sydney, Lady Morgan, and the latter to Professor Francis W. Newman, as some expression of their sentiments of friendship. According to an inge nious expression contained in the " Introduction," it may with truth be said that " the poetical genius of a people is expressed in its traditions." What the nature of the poetical genius of the Hungarians really is, may therefore be recognised with no inconsider able facility from the pages here submitted to our criticism; and the publication before us will conse quently be singularly acceptable to those who may not have had the opportunity of perusing ere this the specimens of "Magyar poetry" given to the world in an English version some years since by the present Consular-General for the British empire among the Chinese. To quote ,yet once more from the "In troduction" to the volumes lying at this moment on our desk, " the analytical understanding de velopes itself only in the riper age of men and nations ; their childhood is governed by imaginations." And in regard,to Hungary, as these traditions " are the artificial tokens of the riches or the poverty of its imagination"—they will be received by the more reflective readers with delight as eluci dative of the character of the Magyar race in its in fancy. They will be found to comprise within them, like most other national traditions, very significant hints indeed in reference to the early poetry, as well as to the philosophic and mythological predilections prevalent long centuries back among the masses of the Hungarians. From an examination of the pre sent remarkable work from the hands of Francis and Theresa Pulszky, it will be perceived that through its contents new testimonies are afforded of the correct ness of the assertion first advanced by the Ger man brothers Gramm, that " many popular tales and proverbs are fragments of ancient mythology," demonstrating while so doing the remarkable fact that the worship of Wodin, Thor, Friga, &c., once extended as far as the Teutonic languages are spread," as may be detected by reference to the Slovak tradition of the Robber " Yanoslaik." Among the narratives given in the present collection will be found not merely several relating to particular localities, but others generally familiar to the entire population, such for example as those about "Poor Tartar" and "Pan Twar dowsky." Added to these we have three legendary tales valuable in another particular, as showing three separate and distinct phases of Hungarian life during the middle ages. First, there is " The Baron's Daughter," revealing the contrast of the haughty landed proprietor, scorning to receive territorial pos sessions as fief from the Sovereign. Secondly, we have " The Castle of Zipsen," pourtraying the struggle between the knights and the burghers, or, as we should express in modern phrases, between the aristocracy and the bourgeoise. Thirdly, we have in the tale already mentioned, namely, that of " Yanoshik," an account of the man ner in which a robber appeared as the avenger of social injustice, just as among ourselves we have the same notion exemplified in the history of Robin Hood and his merry men of Sherwood. One of our lady novelists contributed only last season to the readers of romance an entertaining fiction, in which she en deavoured to illustrate the old adage of " many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip." Yet further illustrations have here come to us from the remote provinces of Hungary in the German story of " The Free Shop," and again in the Slovak story of "The Golden Cross of Kiirosfo." Besides the tales relating more particu larly to the Hungarian people themselves, the volumes before us contain some referring to other races of man kind essentially different in character—the introduc tion of which, while partaking. somewhat of the blemish of an anachronism, is still agreeable as lend ing the charm of variety to the compositions. In this way we doubt not that the "Guardians" will be read with interest, though referring to Judea rather than to Hungary, " Ariabid," aboughlt relates to Persia, and " The Men of Ranshenbach," though it traces its origin to the Carpathian valleys. Various other narratives, some of them of the strongest fascination, will be found to adorn the present volumes, "The Jacobins of Hungary" being more pretentious in its character than the majority of the tales and traditions collected together in the pre sent publication. We must, before closing our notice, transcribe the apologetic sentence in which our authors close their brief but excellent introduction. They remark that "the popular tale is deprived of its natural brilliancy and vigour when repeated far from the country to which it belongs, as the butterfly which gleefully flutters around the flowers on which he at last rests, opening and closing his wings with slow cadence, is no longer the same when pinned and cased up under the glass of a cabinet, or as the flower itself, pressed between the leaves of a herbarian loses its original colour and fragrance." After that very graceful re ference to what may be regarded as deficiencies in the work under notice, it would be very ungenerous to object in any manner to some of the stories here re lated to ID, on the score that they are beyond the reach of our sympathies. While some of them may be open to this objection, the majority are such as must necessarily be perused with interest by those thousands amongst us who view with feelings of hope and admiration the heroic and generaus-hearted citizens of Hungary. THE APHORISMS OF NAPOLEON. Trans lated by J. A. Manning. Ackermann and Co. A new collated edition of the celebrated , document, entitled " Les Aphorism es d e Napoleon,, sayings collected together from many scattered sources, each and all of them rem ar k a bl e for their au thenticity, must be an agreeable announcement at all times to the intelligent student of modern histor v. Just now its interest must necessarily be enhanced by the consideration that, before long, a struggle will be commenced in Prance, the result of which may not improbably be, the restoration of the Napoleonian dynasty. Speaking of the position in hich the heir to the glories of the. second Sesostris is to he regarded throughout Christendom, even in his simple dignity as Republican President, the com piler of the pamphlet here issued, in the gaudy trap pings of the tricolour, observes, " It will never be for gotten by those who happily participated in the bril liant and magnificent files of Pari s , th at the President, whose urbanity, kind ness, and courtesy, were the theme of such j ust and un i versal praise, is the nephew and heir of the mighty Emp eror, whose moral, political, and philosophical thought s are f a i thfully recorded in this little volume." Those, he very judiciously re marks,may be vie we d as a ff ording the key by which the mysteries of Napoleon's mind and actions may be un locked. They are arranged in the present edition in parallel colum ns , g i v i ng them both in the original and in the E ng li s h translation—numbering in all no less than six hundred and fifteen paragraphs. I Tempted though we are to indulge ourselves with R is, lB5l. a quotation, we shall abstain from so doing on the reflection that it would not be altogether unlike that scholasticos, who brought a brick as a sample of his house, according to the account furnished in the witticism of Hierocles. TILE COJIIC ALMANACK for 1852. By George Cruihshanh. David Bogue. Bloomerisrn pourtrayed by Cruikehank! Surely that of itself is a sufficient attraction towards the Comic Almanach. Such a frontispiece as it is—so excruciatingly ludicrous in its sketches of the new d co p s lay tumpel—unagfitel, p —after this cannot possibly that receptacl e f or defunct rubbish petticoats, bight and all, b y into him whom Mr. Peac oc k i nvariably calls the Swan of Avon, " the tomb of all the Capulets." Nothing schemen r e truly l of lyug the lA h m ab er le iicann jr,eufaetrheanuceessthoasthisfantastic appeared— no, not even from the pencil of John Leech, the inex haustible. Termiers sketches in Punch upon the subject have b een !iron enough, even th e little draw ings by On whyn have not been undeserving of the title of meritorious —but next this colossal caricature from the hand of our rare George Cruikshank, they dwindle into insignificance. Then the accompanying illustrations—" Turnin g th e T a bl es !" Preposterously humorous as our caricaturist has long since proved himself to be, his artistic fun has never, we fancy, been carried to such a delightfully outré extravagance. Fancy a picture of "A Sc ene i n t h e Zoological Gardens at Ourang-Outang Town,' with a wild man, caught and inspected by the " natives"—and this by Cruikshank ! Fancy " Ad vice to Persons about to Marry—Try—Cheap Furni ture"—the bride and bridegroom tumbling from chairs afflicted with the rickets, the mirrors dropping from their frames, the table breaking its back under the weight of dinner, the library dangling shelf from shelf, and all this by Cruikshank ! Fancy the anti. cipations of the golden age of costermongering repre sented by a well-fed specimen of the class selling per riwinkles at a guinea a pint, and followed by a couple of gorgeously liveried flunkies—and this too by Cruikshank ! Fancy John Bull inundated by over flowing supplies of water, with the spectacled old gen tleman peeping down the hose of the Government scheme, which, n o t w ith s t an ding its magnitude, ap pears to be as dry as the channel of the Niger—and this again by Cruikshank I Fancy—but no, you can never fancy it—the embellishment in which the same master hand depicts a new field for military occupation—a cornfield being reaped by a regiment —men storming the harvest-cart with uplifted sheafs —others charging the stocks with pitchforks—and the commanding officer superintending the agricultural movement of his men in the distance. The grace, and beauty, and wit, of the whole engraving is this, that viewed at a little distance it has all the animated effect of a battle-field, and when examined closely has all the charm of an unexpected pastoral. The Peace Society should bestow a gold medal on the artist, and should have the sketch prefixed to every one of its printed documents. Another glorious etching is the one revealing to us the ovation of the new French President—M. Jullien ! His principal banner in its inscription running delightfully thus—" Liberte Egalite! Fraterniti—Fiddlededee r Hine —H. G. Hine—whose little miniature, full-length silhouettes seem to us to be the idealization of those atmospheric " blacks," which are the plague of the London laun dress—cornea upon us again with a perfect shower of these grotesque comicalitics. His illustrated record of the perilous ascent of Jung Fran is a thing to be remembered. The impossible jumps from precipice to precipice, the utterly impracticable methods of clambering up to the top of a frozen ca taract, and of dancing on the quivering accumula tion of an impending avalanche, the gambols, and frisks, and other saltatory proceedings equally ab surd under the circumstances, will prove, we fancy, a source of genial and resistless laughter. The lite rary portion of the Comic Almanack for 1852 is ge nerally understood to have beeen entrusted this year to Angus B. Reach and Shirley Brooks—either of them " a host in himself," but together well qualified to tread in the footsteps of dear Tom Hood, the ori ginal projector of this wonderful kind of melange for fascetiousness. A better number of the Comic Al manack has seldom appeared, and certainly not within several years bygone. Not the least among its at tractions is the circumstance that it brings to us once more, in unabated vigour and drollery, our matchless and immortal Cruikshank. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, Nov. 17. The Queen walked in the Home Park and Slopes this morning. The Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and younger members of the Royal Family, took their accustomed pony and walking exercises. Ilis Royal Highness Prince Albert went out shoot ing this morning, attended by the Earl of Listowel, M4jor-General Berkeley Drummond, Colonel the Hon. Charles Grey, and Colonel F. H. Seymour. Mr. Frederick Peel is expected at the Castle to day, on a visit to her Majegy. A deputation, consisting of Sir Charles Fox, Mr. Thomas Brassey, Mr. Edmund Leahy. and Mr. Mathew Leahy, had an interview with Viscount Pal merston on Friday, at the Foreign-office. Mr. William Lock had an interview with Lord John Russell yesterday, at his official residence in Downing-street. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, Nov. 11.—The Caradoc packet has broken down, and will require a long time to be put in repair. Her patent floats have been much da maged. The probability of such an accident hap pening to them were foreseen ere she left England, but no effective measures of precaution seem to have been used. The crew of the Caradoc has been turned over to the Ardent, which steamer has been a long time past lying up in ordinary. The Banshee carries on the portion of the Indian mail sent through France. The Medusa will carry forward the outward India mail, expected by the Medina on the 14th inst. The Tagus (Peninsular and Oriental Company) arrived this morning, and leaves immediately for Constantinople. Nov. 12.—A garrison court-martial assembled a few days ago to try two men, Thomas Lumby and Richard Griffiths, of the Royal Sappers, for desertion. They escaped to Sicily some time since, but, after a short holiday, they got tired of the life of inactivity they were leading, and voluntarily giving themselves up at Naples, went back to Malta.

NAVIGATION OF THE MEDINA.--Tbe Town Coun cil of Newport are about to take measures for carrying into effect the improvement of this river, and Mr. Hamilton Ful ton, the engiheer, has been requested to attend the Town Council to explain all matters relative to the subject. The decision on the Norwich case, so frequently referred to at the last meeting of the Town Council, has been given against the Corporation of that city, the judges having decided that the Council has no right to expend any portion of its funds in making application for Acts of Parliament to improve the navigation of the river. This being the case, the inhabitants of Newport have entered into private Subscriptions in order to defray the expenses of an application to Parliament for an Act in the inswing session.

Silt,—itti almcst superfluAls to write about to-day's races, as they will be decided about the same time as this appears ; but I hare not the slightest shadow of a doubt but what the crack will carry off the Warwick Handicap, Chief Justice and the .thrquis being his at tondants. The Welter Cup lays between Lord Water ford and Mr. Bevill—the former for choice,. To morrow, the day devoted to the cross-country work, the racing will commence with a Free Handicap Steeplechase, of 5 soya. each, with 25 added, over three miles of ground. This race, in all probability, should GULNARE have accepted, will be won by her, as the Handicapper has let her in at the favourable weight of lOst. The second feature is the Handicap Hurdle Rana of 5 sovs. each, with 30 added. To this stake there are six eea Subs, but if the odd six muster at thepost it will be as much as can he expected. Lord Waterfoi d's Lord G eorge, if started, would, no doubt, turn out the winner, but us it o isi ndetra Pgo to th e po s t, no f ar th er czsi well, however, to take no liberties with ' it would b:= as him, as he might e t x i, n e ; d his that cha h chance w i l s i eceessary • be suit after all, ia which ca'e it would be a very awk. ward affair for the layers. The field will prr•bably con eist of Half-and Huff, Fugitive, Sir Robert, Flirt, Forest Lad, and Bedford; another or two might run, but it is very dubious. I eon.ider that thn race lies between Half -and-Hal', Fugitive, lend Bedford, and were I to Place BEDFORD first, with Fugitive and the mired liquid in the next two places, I think I should shout h.r the mark.
