As commandant of the fortress of Komorn—that stronghold which has become for ever illustrious by bring the lest to withstand the united forces of the Russian and Austrian coalition—General Klapka is peculiarly qualified to recount the narrative of the great Magyar war of independence. As secretary at-war to the Hungarian Commonwealth, he is like • wise singularly fitted to assume the responsibilities and to perform the offices of historian to that Go vernment. Any work consequently from his hands, professing to narrate the vicissitudes, both political and military, which befel his countrymen during the late struggle, must be welcomed with indescribable eagerness by the student of the contemporary annals of Europe. Even the bitterest enemies of that cause with which the name of Klapka has become so glori ously associated, will not shrink from accepting his account of its rise, development, and termination with the most implicit confidence in his veracity satisfied that one so gallant in his bearing as a sol dier could never deign to prevaricate, even in the slightest particular, in his new and not less digni fied capacity as an annalist. - The hand that has wielded the sword with such remarkable prowess could not by possibili'y guide the pen in any other manner than that which betrays the writer's alle giance to truth. Hence it is with a staunch reliance upon the candour of Klapka that all parties without distinction will open these volumes for a perusal ; nor will that reliance be misplaced, seeing that in names, dates, end localities, the work under consideration is distinguished by its punctilious correctness. To the end that no misapprehension may arise in the reader's understanding in consequence of any uncertainty as to the historical antecedents of the Hungarians, Ge neral Klapka has prefaced his records of the late war by two introductory chapters of extraordinary value —one epitomizing the history of his country from the I earliest periods on record, the other comprising with a rapid sketch those events which must be regarded as the immediate precursors, or rather as the imme diate originators of the Hungarian revolution. Ac cording to the view entertained by the defen der of Komorn, the first germs of an ambition to obtain their political and social liberation were implanted in the bosoms of the Magyar population no less than three centuries ago, when having in 1526 invested Ferdinand I. of Hapsburg with the crown and the cloak of St. Stephen, that race "created the necessity of a violent rupture of so unnatural a connexion." After pre mising thus much, it cannot, of course, be surprising to find the writer espousing the cause of indepen dence" with all the ardour of his energetic and en thusiastic temperament, when the voice of the im mortal Kossuth summoned the nation to awake at last from its prolonged sleep of servitude. Actuated solely by that devotion to fatherland which was then the guiding principle of the whole movement, Klapka from the first hour of that memorable revo lution dedicated himself entirely to aid in working out the emancipation of the Hungarians. That he should have scrutinized every occurrence that fol lowed that great rising on the part of his compatriots, is in no respect surprising when the importance of every incident, however apparently trivial, upon the fortunes of a community under similar cir cumstances, is borne in recollection. Neither can his ardour in the cause of indei,endence be deemed extravagant even by the most phlegmatic philosophers, when it is remembered that in furtherance of that same cause was shed the heart's blood of Bat th y an y i, of Kiss, of Aulich, of Danijanitsh, of Nagy-S . andar, of Torok, of Lehner, of Vecsey, of Knezich, of Poltenberg, of Schweidel, of Desewffy, of' Lazar, of Gaspar, and of the Count Leiningen-Westerburg. An earnestness demonstrated to be sincere by so many tragic executions could not but be participated in with astonishing fervour by a heart so large and dauntless as that of the young defender of Komorn. How dauntless his heart was, may be learnt from the narrative of the defence of that for tress ; how large it was may be guessed by those who peruse the generous extenuation put forward by Klapka to screen his former brother in arms, the once noble but now execrable Gorgey, from the charge of treason to the cause of Hungary. Within the two compact and enthralling volumes before us is condensed the entire and unmutilated narrative of the war of independence. It opens, as a matter of course, with the famous raising of the siege of Komorn, when the Hungarian army executed that renowned manceuvre which Klapka declares, and not extravagantly, to be " all but unparalleled in the his tory of strategical operations," when, after retreating to the extremities of the Magyar dominion, the army of liberation abruptly turned against their assailants at Debreczin, and, beating them back ley a succession of astonishing victories, routed the Imperial forces, drove their fragments across the frontiers of Lungary, and carried their pursuit of the Austrians even under the walls of Vienna. "At that moment," says the historian, "the fate of Hungarian independence, and, what was more, that of the Austrian empire, lay in the hands of General Gorgey." Had he marched at once upon the Imperial capital, instead of turning aside for the conquest of Buda, the crowning victory would have been achieved, instead of which Gorgey arrived at exactly an opposite determination, and thereupon saith Klapka, " with this decision the die was cast, and the favourable moment was gone, never again to return." Having mentioned his entrance into Pesth on the 30th of April (printed by a preposterous mis nike the 31st, see page 7, vol. i., in defiance of all the laws of the Gregorian Calendar), General Klapka proceeds to enumerate the events which rapidly followed each other during the ensuing May. Under this head he comprises an estimate of Kos suth's Government, a reference to the project of Russian intervention, an analysis of the plan of de fence, and a record of the fall of Buda, the struggle with the Wallachians in Transylvania, his own (Klapka's) return to the army, and his assuming the command at once of the fortress of Komorn and of the troops on the right bank of the Danube. Among the occurrences crowded into June are especially particularised the battles of , Tshorna, of Zsigard, of the Waag, of Aszod, and of Ihaza, together with the advance of the Aus trians against Raab, and the retreat of Kmetty to the lower Danube. Within the days of July are compressed a series of yet more important events, events upon which the fate of a great race was yet more imminently dependent, the conference with Kossuth, the battle of Atsh, the recal of Gorgey, the appointment of Meszaros,and ultimately the final rup ture between the traitor Gorgey and the Hungarian Government. During August we find the embarrass ments both of the deceived and the deceivers multi plied, the army meeting with disasters, and the Cabinet with every species of discouragement : im mediately after the publication of Kossuth's celebrated " Address to the Nation," wherein he solemnly made Gorgey "responsible to God, the nation, and to history," come the Russian intervention, and the first miserable armistice. With September comes the deplorable consummation of treason, when the Magyar soldiers had to pass under the caudine forks in the presence, as it were, of the Austrian absolutism, represented in the person of Haynau, and of the Russian despotism, incarnate in the form of Paskewitch. October finds Klapka reduced to the necessity of yielding Komorn to the conqueror, and of proceeding from that strong hold to the city of Presburg. A large and interest ing mass of documents is collected together at the close of the second volume, in an admirably arranged appendix, including among other things the cele brated Bulla Aurea, the speech delivered on the 11th of July by Louis Kossuth, and the oft-quoted dispatch of Prince Wittgenstein. As a whole, nothing can be more painstaking than the care with which the dis tinguished narrator of the war of independence has per formed all his duties as an annalist. Having endeavoured with his sword to aid in vindicating the rights of Hungary, he has since that heroic but ineffectual effort striven with his pen to vindicate her outraged reputation. In this supplementary essay he has shown himself eminently successful, and has crowned the gallant achievements of the soldier with the honourable labours of the historian. MEMOIRS OF A .HUNGARIAN LADY. 2 Vols. By Theresa Falsity. No more interesting contribution could have been offered to the future annalist of the Hungarian re volution than these two attractive volumes, from the hand of a lady so noble-hearted and patriotic as the wife of Francis Pulsky. Every, intelligent man in England is already long since aware that that distin guished foreigner arrived amongst us during the time of the Magyar war of independence, accredited as a kind of ambassador to the British Government from the Government of the Hungarians. Pulsky oc cupied in London the position occupied in Paris by Teleki ; they were the diplomatic emissaries from the Cabinet of DLbrecziu, deputed to negotiate, if neces sary, with the Councils of St. James 's and the Eli ;6o on the part of that extraordinary man, the Poet- King of the Magyars, who then presided over the destinies of Hungary with the supreme power and dignity of a Dictator. Like most of the women of that heroic country, Theresa Pulsky regerded the cause of which Louis Kossuth was the very incarnation, the cause of Hungarian independence, with a devotion at once profound, tender, and passionate. The dream of na tional emancipation possessed for them a charm be yond all description, colours d as it was with the witcheries of their fancy and their affections. Tne Spartan matrors twisting their long tresses into bowstrings, is among the incidents which might not inaptly have been represented upon the scarves and banners of Peterwardein, as symbollising in_ some manner the sentiments of the lathes of Hun gary. Among these noble women, not the hest devoted, as she was certainly one of the most intelli gent, was the wife of the Mope' . Plenipotentiary to England, Theresa Pulsky, the authoress of this bril liant and touching memorial. Like the writer of the THE S LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST work alreNdy noticed, Madame Pulsky has preceded her narrative 11y an historical introduction, divided into three per ds—tho first embracing the history of Hungary nude r the House of Arpad, the second under the houses of Anjou, Luxembourg, Austria, Hun yady, and Jagt cello, the third under the houses of Hapsburg and Lorraine. What appears to us to be the principal merit and attraction of the work under review is of all things, perhaps, the very one which many might erroneously regard as su perfluous —we mean such chapters as those in which the ',Triter, forsaking the regions of intrigue and bloodshed, describes to us the first impressions pr oduced by her mother country, depicts in graphic colours the Castle of Szencseny, and draws with her graceful and womanly hand a picture of the provincial life of the Hungarians. It must not be imagined, however, that while thus oc casionally discursive, the authoress in any way de . predates the importance of those great events which have lately convulsed - the whole of the Magyar community, slurring ovee them as matters of subor dinate interest and comparative indifference. On the contrary, these occurrences occupy the preminent positions in her narrative; only, as we have en deavoured to intimate, the historical figures and me morable localities introduced on her CRTlVfigi are brought forward yet more conspicuously by the fill ing up the background as it WE re with the landscapes of Hungary. In testimony of this we would especially direct attention to the accounts here furnished of.the imperial city of Vienna in 1848, of the invasion of Jellachich, and of the October insurrection. After an earnest vindication of Count Louis Batthyanyi, in which Madame Pulsky pencils the principal features of his patriotic and constitutional character. come— the battle of Schwechat, the adVance of Windisch gratz, the flight to the mountains, the war scenes of the winter campaign, and that ever memorable and glorious epoch which was embellished by the valour and victories of the Hungarians. Than follows a rapid narrative of disasters, the progress from Pesth to Debrecain, the escape, and the catastrophe. A touch ing anecdote is given immediately after we have been told how Gorgey consummated his treason to the Magyars. Among his attendants was the young Re meny ka stripling remarkable for his skill as a violinist. Calling this youth to him previous to his departure from, the camp, Gorgey, who had often been soothed by his harmonies, as Paul was by the harp of David, emptied into his hand all the coins in his purse, and untied the golden toys fastened to his watch-guard, saying, " Take this, my lad, in remembrance of me I" Remenyi, however, perceiving among these jewels a small silver key, returned it to his General, remind ing him that it was a love-gift from his wife—" Take it," said Gorgey ; " after what I have done to-day my wife in no case _will smile any more upon me Well does the writer of these sorrowful memorials, after depicting the desolation caused by Austrian vengeance, exclaim "Solitudinem faciunt, pacem ap pellant." In a copious appendix, comprising, among other documents, the famous pragmatic sanction, is a most admirable and interesting letter, addressed to Francis Pulsky, by the author of " Revelations of Russia." This letter contains a number of curious details in regard to the Hungarian emigration at Widdin, the writer having been an eye witness of the facts recounted. So far from regarding any of his remarks as "disrespectful" to the most lustrious of the Magyar exiles, we cannot but view the estimate formed of the character of Kossuth by this correspondent as, perhaps, the most eulogistic which has yet fallen under our observation. Even when the writer is, according to his idea, condemning the ex-Dictator of Hungary, he is only endorsing his previous eulogiums. For example, when he says (Vol. 11., p. 356), " I am perfectly awake to Kossuth's faults, which are serious and many"—the most serious which he can bring against him in accusation is this— "he is too soft-hearted ; he could never sign a death warrant; he was hardly ever known to punish." In illustration of his meaning in this particular, he ob serves immediately after wards—" I believe that if Kos suth had a servant who would not clean his boots, he would never think of superseding him, but clean the boots himself." Pure and glorious must he that character which yields no more heinous blemishes than these to be stigmatized. Quite in consonance with this beautiful amenity of disposition is the circumstance recorded shortly be fore by the same intelligent writer (Vol. IL, p. 335), where he says that even in exile, " Of Gorgey, Kos• suth spoke with much and, perhaps, studied modera tion." Magnanimity such as that is, perhaps, little short of being criminal, yet, while blaming the fallen chieftain for his culpable lenity to a traitor, we can not but view that act of weakness as one, in spite of everything, entitled to admiration. With such in teresting particulars as those here referred to by our selves the present volumes are crowded throughout, possessing no less the value of what is historical and the fascination of what is romantic. THE WAR in HUNGARY, 1848-1849. 2 Vols. By Max Schlesinger. Translated by John Ed ward Taylor. Like the publication just passed under criticism, the present work is edited by Francis Pulsky, being, moreover, accompanied by him with notes, and an hitorical introduction. This circumstance cannot fail to enhance very materially the value of the narrative inasmuch as its authenticity and perspi cacity are concerned ; and this not merely from the high repute of Mr. Pulsky, but also from the recol lection of that office the temporary occupation of which has in a great measure qualified him to become the chronicler of the Magyars, namely, that of Secretary of State to his Majesty Ferdinand the Fifth, King of Hungary. Besides what we have already remarked in regard to it, this translation from the original of Schlesinger is adorned with an ad ditional and adventitious decoration—just as Madame Pulsky's " Memoirs" are preceded by a charming dedication to the Marchioness of Lansdowne, or as the " Memoirs" by General Klapka are embellished with engraved portraits of himself And of Kossuth. The adventitious decoration to which we would here direct attention as having been appended to the pre sent version of the work of Schlesinger, is a most masterly analysis of the character of Arthur Gorgey, by the hand of Francis Pulsky. This admirable supplement to the second volume may be found at pp. 269-295, and the value of such an estimate may be somewhat more readily appreciated when it is re membered that the writer of it, Francis Pulsky, was not only acquainted with Giirgey's family (whose estate was situated in a neighbouring county), but that he was for some time his schoolfellow and a friend of his brother. For these and for other reasons he was possessed, as he himself professes in the pre face, of peculiar opportunities of gaining an insight into the traitor's character. A glance at the close of this remarkable analysis will show what are the de ductions drawn by Pulsky from the facts enumerated by him at its commencement. Having quoted from the words of the traitor himself, Mr. Pulsky observes, " Go rgey thus himself acknowledges his motive for the surrender to have been a personal one—of hatred and revenge against Kossuth, because the Governordid not confide in him, and would not make him the arbiter of his country's fate. By this confession he has condemned himself, and yet this is the patriot of the apologists of Austria! He is now living in Klaginfurt, upon an Austrian pension, while his friends and comrades in victory have ended their lives on the gallows." To exhibit the atrocity of this criminal yet more vi sibly in all its blackness, reference should be made to the magnanimity with which his name was men tioned by Kossuth at Widdin, as we have already ob- Served when alluding to the author of the " Revela tions of Russia." What was the origin of this diabo lical hatred against Kossuth has been half indicated by Pulsky ; it is more clearly disclosed by the latter in a previous portion of his analysis, where he remarks (Vol. 11., p. 289) that " Kossuth's name still remained the watchword of the country, Gorgey's being second, coupled with that of Bern. ' It is out of this infernal jealousy that sprang the hatred of G iirgey to the Dictator of Hungary, to revenge him self on whose unoffending greatness be sacrificed their common fatherland. " Characters like that of Gorgey,"' says Mr. Pulsky, in conclusion, may brook disdain and even insult, but they cannot en dure a sense of obligation; of all feelings, gratitude is to such men the most insupportable ;" a remark which reminds us of the saying of a great English writer of the last generation, that of all hatreds that is the most bitter which is entertained towards an injured benefactor. Although we cannot refrain from characterizing this supplement from the hands of the editor as being the best portion of the w or k before us, we must, at the same time, declare that those sections of the two volumes which have been translated from the original of Schlesinger are fraught with excellences of no small consideration. Every chapter has its cluster of anecdotes, all tend ing to elucidate in the most vivid manner the cha racter and development of the late Hungarian revo lution. A multitude of most interesting particulars are given, for example, of Kossuth, of his family, of his residence, of his eloquence, his aspect, his daily occupations, and his popularity. Here we follow Bern while he escapes from Vienna. There we ob serve the movements of Dembinski, when he lived under the disguise of a wine-merchant. Now we are introduced to Guyon, in the character of a pedlar; d no is w pos a e g bd a e i yt n uo w nvid e ewd t f h o be l c lo ml w ie ' n e i d oitfs os t i h t e brave Batthyanyi to the place of ex ecu ti on .

Such, howev e r, i s th e lucidity and candour of the whole narrative, in its tone and arrangement, that we are compelled, as it were perforce, to yield to the author an implicit cri.dence, encouraged, while so doing, by his associati o n w i t h the name and repute of Francis Pulsky. Having once commenced a perusal of the work, the reader is carried along the course of its voluble descriptions as unresistingly as Byron's rider of the wild horse, Mazeppa. ANECDOTES DURING THE LATE HUN GARIAN CAMPAIGN. One Vol., pp. 340. By J. W. Warre Tyndale. Already favourably known as a collector of histo rical materials by his ingenious work on the Island of Sardinia, Mr. Tyndale has here adventured upon ground still more agreeable when traversed by the foot of an Englishman. The voluine is, entitled some what lengthily, "Adventures and Anecdotes of the South Army of the . Emperor of Austria during the late Hungarian Campaign. Narrated by Witnesses." Narrated by witnesses, we presume, and collated and edited by Mr. Tyndale. The hint afforded by such a title-page w ill not b e overlooked by the wary in the event of a perusal. Nor can such caution be unad• vised, seeing the liability of the simplest statements to become imperceptibly garbled when conveyed from mouth to mouth indiscriminately. Verbum *vip, &c. Nevertheless, while we refrain from yielding an entire credulity to all the assertions crowded together into this volume, we do not desire in any manner ,to les se n it s mer it as an en tertaining collection of a nec d o t es , h av i ng especial reference t o th e diff erent Hungarian celebrit i es. Ott the contrary, w hil e we accept all the accounts furnish e d by th e anec d ote-mongers who have contri buted to thi s amusing compilation of Mr. Tyndale't -cum grano sutra , as we would have every one else do likewise, we avow at the same time that we have not failed to derive interust from these pas sages. Among the principal characters who figured during the Hungarian revolution, there will be found, towards the dole of Mr. Tyndale's book, anecdotes and iketches of Giirgey the Traitor- General, of Bern the Pule since turned Mussul man, of Dembinski, of Darnjanitch, of Klapka the defender of Komorn, of Kossuth the greatest man amongst them all, Dictator and Governor of Hungary, of Louis Batthyanyi, ,of Cassimer. Bat tbyanyi, of Pulsky, of Szecheny, of Perezel, and of Meszaros. - Added to these will be found other chapters illustrating some of the military' events which occurred during the war of independence; all the descriptions in the volume being penned with, that fluency and picturesqueness of style which can scarcely fail at any time to invest with a certain degree of popularity a work of this attractive description. HUNGARY AND THE HUNGARIAN STRUGGLE. 1 Vol., pp. 127. By Thomas Grieve Clark. ' Three lectures of remarkable eloquence are heie collected together, and printed in the form of a sub stantial narrative. A local popularity has 'already been acquired by these lectures on the occasion of their delivery, not long since, before the Edinburgh Phlosophical Institution. We would by thus di recting public attention to them, now that they are issued as a literary composition, extend their popula rity beyond the precincts of the Scotch metropolis. Our solicitude to aid in accomplishing this is attributable partly to our admiration of the lectures as the effusions of oratorical ability of no common order, and partly also because we regard their argument as possessing a peculiar force of its own upon the sub ject of the Hungarian movement, emanating as it does from a twenty months' resident in Hungary during 1847, 1848, and 1849, namely, during the most mo mentous periods of the revolution. Fortunate in being present throughout that memorable struggle of the Magyars to secure their emancipation, Mr. Clark admirably well availed himself of the opportunity, watching with uninterrupted vigilance the progress of the war of independence. One evidence of modesty on the part of the lecturer appears to us so peculiarly beautiful, and is of a character so seldom paralleled, that we cannot resist the temptation of bringing it especially under the observation of our readers. It is where Mr. Clark mentions his refusal to be intro duced to Louis Kossuth; he says—" Although offered an introduction to Kossuth himself, I could not have acquitted myself of presumption had I accepted the opportunity of then occupying a moment of bis at . tention." Altogether, by a singular and unusual com bination of good qualities, some of which are gene rally regarded as being altogether incongruous, the volume before us does equal credit to the soundness of the author's judgment, and to the capacity of his en thusiasm.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE _ ROYSTON AND lIITCHIN. - The half-yearly meeting cf tbis company was held yesterday at the office, Itoorgate street.; Mr. W. Wilshere in the chair. --••••• The report stated that it was not until the 10th of May last that the directors had succeeded in obtaining the certificate of the Railway Commissioners to the effect that one-half of the capital of the company had been called pp and expended ; since which date every effort had been made to obtain the execution of the lease by the Great Northern Company. A ne cessary preliminary to the execution of the lease 91111 conceived to be the examination of the accounts of this company, but, owing to the engagements of the accountant of the Great Northern Company, this ex ! amination ,has not yet .taken place. With • view, however, of obviating. any further delay in the exe cution of the lease,- the directors made arrangements with the Great Northern Company that the lease should be executed, leaving the accounts to be subse quently examined ; and accordingly the document has been prepared and settled by the solicitors of both companies, has received the scat of this com-, pany, and will be exchanged for the duplicate bear ing the seal of the Great Northern Company so soap as it is affixed, which the directors believe will be at their next board meeting, to be held on the 26:h inst. The rent will commence from the Ist of August inst., and will be payable half-yearly, on the Ist of February and let of August in every year. With regard to the Shepreth extension, the directors hgve entered into a con t rac t w ith r. Brassey for the execution of the works at the low sum of 17,2171., being less than .3,500/. per mile, and it is anticipated that the company will be in a position to apply for the Railway Commissioners' certificate to enable the company to lease that extension to the Great Northern Company about the month of March next, and there is no reason to doubt but that the execution of the lease will follow close on the receipt of the certificate. The accounts to the 16th of July show that '165,5311. had been received, and 154,8521. expended, leaving a balance of 10,679/. The Shepreth extension'account showed that 17,5181. had been received, and 4,492/. expended, leaving a balance of 13,026/. The CHAIRMAN, on moving the adoption of the re port, said he was ready to hear any observations. Mr. Alderman CARDEN said, he wished to know whether the rent of" 6 per cent. per annum to be paid by the Great Northern C4rapany was exclusive of the expenses of management. - The Solicitor stated that the proprietors would bare to pay the expenses of management out of the rent. It was necessary , to have directors or trustees to receive the rent and pay the dividends every half year and also an office f o r th e tr ans f er o f s h ares . dr. MasrEssurir said their expenses were. at pre sent paid out of capital, and the question referred to by Mr. Carden would 'not' arise for twelve months. He thought the expenses of the company when the lease was completed would be very trifling. The report was adopted, and the retiring directors, Lord Deere, Mr. IC Wilshere, Mr. J. C. CQbbold, M.P., Captain Law s , R.N., Mr. F. Poker, and Mr. F. Pvm, were re-elected. . . The meeting was then made special, and the for feiture of thirty shares was confirmed. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors con eluded the proceedings. CEYLON. The half-yearly meeting of this company was to have been held yesterday at the office, Coptball buildings, Throgmortou-street, but in consequence of the non-attendance of a sufficient number of shareholders to constitute a legal meeting it was ad journed for two months. It appeared from the re port laid on the table that the directors were of opi nion that the company should be kept together for another year, in order to take advantage of any cir cumstance that might arise favourable to the scheme. The company had no liabilities, and there was a small balance in hand. EASTERN COUNTIES. The following is the Auditor'i report, to be read at the meeting to be held on Thursday next:— " "57, Coleman -street, Aug. 9, 1850. ".Gentleman,-W e regret that, notwithstanding the utmost diligence and perseverance, we find ourselves still unable to make a complete report .of the result of our investigation and analysis of the capital expenditure of the Eastern Counties Railway Company. " The examination has a twofold object: namely, the ascertainment of the integrity of the expenditure charged; and the production of an accurate and lucid statement of it, in order to the due exhibition, under appropriate heads, of the cost of th e various lines and works executed. " The extent and multifarious character of the trans. actions which constitute the subject -matter of investiga tion would *alone render much time and great labour necessary in order to its satisfactory completion; but the difficulties ire have met with in the conduct of our in quiries have not been simply those which necessarily pertain to every operation of the like nature; we have had to act upon conlused, imperfect, and erroneous ac counts, only partially supported or explained by vouchers, while the vouchers that could be found were promis cously heaped' together without order or at rangement; added to which there existed a general want of uni formity in the mode of treating various parts of the same or similar accounts at different periods. "In this state cf circumstances we found it indispens ably necessary, in - order to carry on the examination in• telligibly and with certaidty. to establish supplemental books; and; in effect, to reform the entire accounts fur a considerable period; opening a personal account with each individual recipient of the company's cash, and al• lowing no credits to such' recipients In discharge of cash paid to them, except upon the authority of bills, in voices, certificates, or other adequate vouchers. " The deficiency of vouchers has thus proved a fruit ful source of difficulty and delay, leading unavoidably to much correspondence and personal discussion with par ties, in order to obtain from them the information which the vouchers would have afforded. ." Although to the causes thus glanced at is to be mainly referred the non -termination of this inquiry, it is to be borne in mind, that in addition to the continued investigation of the capital expenditure, we have been called upon during the half-year Co perform certain other special services connected with, or arising out of, the accounts, such is extensive Calculations to determine the amount earned by the company's traffic over each particular section of the line, with a view to the formation of a basis whereon to found a re vision of tho present system of rating railways for pa rochial purposes, the preparation of the voluminous re turn made to the House of' I.dords in answer to the order obtained by Lord Brougham and other matters. " We may also mention that the examination of the important items of land purchases and compensation has been attended with peculiar difficulties; the course of our examination into these matters in connexion with the pecuniary transactions conducted through the agency of the late solicitor to the company, made clear the ne cessity, in order to do justice to the interests of the shareholders, of subjecting the whole of those transac tions to a most rigorous scrutiny. " The meagre and unsatisfactory state of the infor mation which we found existing in relation to this branch of the . inquiry had been an especial cause of delay; but having already made a report to you upon it, we do not feel it to 'be- necessary now to refer to the subject, further than to state that we are still pur.' suing it; and . that since the date of the report alluded to, we have found further sums to be accounted for by Mr. Duncan, which, together with those reported, make a present total of about 30,0001. to be accounted for by thatzentleman. .The items.of which that total is com posed occur at various dates , during the years 1845, 1846, 1847, and 1848. .. Independently of the advantages which must neces sarily result from . this, extensive examination, in the sense of a well informed conviction produced by it, of the truthfulness of the. Accounts. when finally settled, and the more intelligible and eompreheusive view which it will have been the means of presenting of the character and location of the objects to which the company's capital has been spplied, it has alrrady been productive of direct pecuniary benefit in the discovery and setting right of errors to the extent of upwards of 6,0001., ex clusive of the important result of a similar character arising out of the examination of the- transactions and proceedings of the late solicitor.—We remain, gentle men, your most obedient servants, .. "QOILTER, BALL, and Co. "To the Chairman and Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway." GOING TO SEA.—The strong love. of the sea is not peculiar to boys in seaports only. In inland towns, in places where boys have never seen the sea at all, the passion is nearly as strong. They read " Robinson," lend the book about, and relate all sorts of msoine adventureS to each other; if there is a bit of water near, they manufacture miniature ships, and have sailing matches; they launch paper boats upon the tide of rain as it sweeps along the village streets after a heavy shower. Who, that has been bred in an inland town, can ever forget the emotion with which lie gazed on the sea for the first time 1 • The remembrance of that first sight rises up with vivid distinctness, after the lapse of many years. We can remember, when a child, our own sensations of wonder, awe, and delight. That seeming great hill of water, and the little specks of ships along its apparent sum mit; the notion, whispered by the nurse, that worlds lay beyond that ocean line; the solemn roar of the waves, as they broke along the shore; all impressed the mind with a sense of power and vastness :which was never afterwards effaced, Then there was the "treat" given to the impatient children, of a sail from one side of the little harbour to the other, the rolling about of the little boat amid the swell of the sea, which dashed in at the harbour's mouth, the sob bing of the girls, and the dizzy joy of the boys; who could ever forget so bewildering and exciting an event in a child's life? —Eliza Cook's Journal. MUSIC IN CHURCH, BUT NOT CHURCH MUSIC.— Donald Moore, a dashing young drover, from somewhere be north the Braes o'Doune, had purchased at Carlisle, where ha had been with some cattle' from the tr's'st of Falkirk, a musical snuff-box, and, on his return home, being determined to make a display, he carried the same to church rext Sun day. The snuff was prime, but, unfortunately, when hand ing a pinch to a crony, and just as he minister had begun to draw his inferences, off w era the box to the not inappropriate tune of " We're a' noddin'." Donald applied himself to the stop catch, which he mistook, and away went the music to the profan e t une of " Maggy Lauder." In the perturbation of the moment, Donald tried to smother the box with his sporran; but at last took fairly to his heels, when, just as he was about to slam the door behind him, as if in reply to the inquiring gaze of the astonished audience, the dying cadence of the instrument ended with " My name is Muggy Lauder."

The annual contest for a .new skiff and other prizes subscribed by the residents of St. Mary, Rotherhithe, cam off yesterday in the presence of some hundreds of spectators. The weather, although extremely fine, was very rough for such frail affairs as wager-boats of the pmsent day, and some difficulties were consequently ex • perienced by their occupants. There were twelve corn• petitors in five heats, i: being a double-scull race. First Heat—Henry Gobbet, Hanover-stairs, and James Craddock, Globe-stairs, (green) 1 ; John Sin clair, Dog and Duck-stairs, and Daniel Henderson, eltursh-stairs, (yellow), 0 ; Robert Fenton, Platform stairs, and Ralph Butler, Princess's-stairs, (purple), 0.

Yesterday a general conference of delegates com missioned from all parts of England to meet in oppo sition to the duly recognised conference of preachers now assembling in London, was held at Albion Chapel, Moorfields. The proceedings were held with open doors, and a large attendance wll3 thus secured, more especially as from the ordinary conference meet ings the undelegated members of the Wesleyan body have been rigidly excluded. The first question that presented itself for discussion was whether or not the assembled delegates should present themselves to the conference and demand the restitution of the rights of which the great body of the people had been unjustly deprived. It was ultimately resolved that the must dignified course for the delegates to pursue, after an insulting message which had been received from the conference, would be to remain perfectly silent upon the matter. On the motion of Mr. Baldwin, seconded by Mr. Warne, and supported by Mr. Stanley, Mr. Bolton, and Mr. Ibbitts, the following resolution was agreed to :—" That this meeting is convinced that the conduct and spirit of the present conference, from its rejection of all conciliatory overtures, and especially front its total disregard of the memorials signed by thousands of ofEce-bearers, and tens of thousands of members, that the most decided measures are neces sary on the part of the Wesleyan reformers to carry out the objects indicated in the memorials." On the motion of Mr. Martin, of Manchester, seconded by Mr,; Benson, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the follow ing !resolution was agreed to That this meeting, althbugh deeply interested in the progress of Wes leyan Methodism, and having a strong attachment personally to many of its ministers, is painfully convinced that the assumption and acts of the con ference are palpably opposed to the authority of the great head of the Church, at variance with the de sign and constitution of the early Christian churches, and practically opposed to the genius and spread of Christianity, and that consequently it is no longer desirable to contribute to the system as it now or to the support of the preachers without being partakers of their shame and guilty of their deeds; and this meeting therefore recommends the imme diate withdrawal of all funds as the only remaining practical means of memorializing the conference." The proceedings are to terminate with a public meeting. ---------- .ERMANIA ; ITS COURT S , CAMPS, AND PEOPLE.- This new work of the Baroness Blaze de Bury, comprising so many curious discloSures concerning the various Sove reignsand'Courts of Eur ope d ur i ng t h e recent revolutions, will be hailed by all as one of the most notable books of the day.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE, .NORTHEEA ClRCUlll—Liverivol. Avg. 19, CROWN COURT.—(Before , Mr. Justice-WIG/r -/ea:o Samuel Smelter was charged with having felfmi ously fired off a certain loaded musket, on the 25th of July last, at Rusholme, near Manchester, with intent to maim and disfigure James Farr anti other& her Majesty's subjects. There were other counts varying the charge. Mr. Pollock and Mr. A. Crosse appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Wheeler for the defence. The prosecutor, Farr, it appeared, was a brick maker, living near Platt Chapel, Rusholme, and the proprietor of some brickfieids there, at which . be . had employed a m an as a l a b ourer who d i d not belong to a trades' union of the brickmakers. This having caused great dissatisfaction among the labourers, about ten o'clocia on the night of the 25th of July last a large number of them 4b etween S OO and 400) a..ietn bled t oget h er, and proceeded to the prosecutor's hrickfields w i t h the intention of destroying his blick?. A pol i ce-constable immediately went' to Mr. Parr's res id ence, rind acquainted him with %hut was going on at hi s brick&ids, and the prosecu tor immediattly went there. H e h a d no sooner arrived th an h e was fired up on by severa l persOns in the crowd, many of vt hom were armed v..itb guns, anti nearly GO shots were tired at the prosecutor, the constables, and others there present to prevent the destruction of the prosecutor's property. One of the constables said he felt the shot from one of the guns about his legs, and others of the witnesses said they beard the shot strike the bushes in the field. isio, person was, however, wounded. Oae .man in t bit, crowd presented a pistol at a policeman's head, and threatened to blow his brains out. Several witnesses swore that they had seen the prisoner in the crowd taking part in the disturbance, in the course of which damage amounting to 451. was done to the prose cutor's bricks. Mr. Sergeant WILKINft then addressed the jury for the prisoner, contending that there was no evidence to support the charge in the indictment, that the , prisoner had shot a t F arr or at any ether person, with , intent to maim, or disable, or do him grievous bodily , harm. Had the guns been loaded, it was impossible but that they must have injured some person or other when fired ; but it was evident that they had only been charged with powder, for the purpose of making a noise, and perhaps frightening Farr. However ille gal such conduct might be, it would not sustain . the charge laid in the indictment. His LOSDAHIP having summed up, • The jury Acquitted the prisoner. NISI PIZIUS COURT.—(Bufore Mr. Justice CXESSWELL.) The Court has been occupied nearly all day with trying an issue out of Chancery, in the case oi " Hol gate v. Wright," the question being the legitimacy or otherwise of a child of Mrs. Wright during her husband's lifetime, and whilst be was living separated from her. The jury found a verdict for the defendant, thereby finding the child to be a bastard. The case was most uninteresting. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. GURNEY.) Joseph Jones, 34, labourer, was indicted for stealing 501., in notes and gold, the property of Robert Cotton. Mr. Cuckle prosecuted, and Mr. O'Brien defended. The case, which has appeared within the last few days, arose out of skittle transactions, and the facts were very similar to those in the numerous cases that have already been the subject matter of several inves tigationF. It appeared that the prosecutor, a would. be-wide-awake countryman, a draper's assistant out of place, was, on the morning of the 10th of April, passing along the Westminster-bridge-read, when two men came up and spoke to him, and as they were walking along they saw the prisoner, who was in front, drop his purse. Prosecutor picked it up, and gave it him, upon which the prisoner thanked him, and said he would not have lost it for 100/., and begged that the prosecutor and the two who were with him would come and take some wine, upon which they adjourned to a public-house, where the parties began betting upon throwing weights, and finally the game of skittles was introduced, and up to this time the prosecutor had lost 81. at betting. The prisoner then offered to bet him 50/. that he could not get the skittles in nine throws, upon which the prosecutor, ss ho had been plied with wine, went and borrowed the money of his landlord, which, when he came back, he staked in the hands of another of the party, named Chick. They then proceeded to the skittle-ground, when it was proposed they should play for a bottle of wine first, and while they were so engaged the pri soner went out. The prosecutor then went up to Chick, who said that he had given the money to the prisoner. Prosecutor then went out atter him, and when he came back they were all gone. Some of the parties so engaged had been taken for a similar offence upon other persons, and among them was a hairdresser named Anderson, who received 18 months imprisonment at this court, but the prisoner was not taken until the 4th of August, when Brett, an active officer of the City police, took him in the Old-street road. Mr. GunNEr having summed up, Tht4 jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. ARMY PRIZE MONEY. The account of unclaimed army prize money, from Jan. 18, 1809, to December 31, 1849, directed to be annually laid before the Houses of Parliament, shows a total amount on the debtor side of 1,349,1491.15. 3id. The creditor statement is as follows : By cash, refunded to claimants, 681,723/. 2s. 9id.; by expenses in executing acts from Jan. 18, 1809, to Dec. 31, 1849, 57,724/. 9s. 4 1 1 d. ; by sums paid for the Royal Hospital in diminution of the annual vote, 589,701/. 9s. Id. ; Oct. 20, 1849—by paid to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests for appropria tion towards the Royal Military Asylum, realized by the sale of 21,7391. 4s. 2d. Three per Cent. Consols, 20,000/. ; Total, 1,349,149/. ls. 3id. A memorandum is appended to the account which states that, although the balance appears to be as above stated, yet there is in the Three per Cent. Con soli 78,260/. 15s. 10d. Stock invested on account of army prize money, the interest whereof is included annually in the Parliamentary estimates, and is appli cable to the payment of prize claims; and when the amount thereof, in addition to the other sums received on the same account during the year, exceeds the claims paid, the balance is taken by the Paymaster• General as an appropriation in his accounts. The existence of the above amount of stock in the Three per Cent. Consols, notwithstanding the balance is on the debit side, arises from the investments in that stock having been made when the funds were very low, and from the sales thereuut as occasion required having been from time to time effected when the prices were considerably higher. DARTMOUTH BOROUGH GAOL, &c.—An extraordi nary sessions was held in the Guildhall, on Saturday, the' prison being considerid unfit and unsafe for the detention of a - prisoner, Woodniason, a loCksmith of the town, committed • on the 3d of June, for housebreaking. The Learned Recorder, Mr. C. D. Bevan, in his charge to the jury, said he could not reconcile it to his conscience that the prisoner should remain in such a hole—he could call it nothing else. This was net his own personal opinion only, but all the Government in spectirs who, from time to time, in the course of their duty . had inspected it, had unanimously reported "that the gaol of the borough of Dartmouth was the worst in the three kingdoms, and a disgrace to the place." He wished he • ' could gainsay this, but, on the contrary, ho entirely con- : curred in that opinion; for such a vault was unfit fur the • purpose of a gaol. Neither was there accommodation for .. • hadprir. o o n e e e r n , p c o e In t t ) p - e i jury, lea t. h o a r t grand o j i u n r c y on i y il en th ie e nc G e u n i l l a d n i 7 l p L erso l t -• , to obtain a separate space for the prisoner. They had their' ' • choice, either to make these things better, or to submit to have the sessions removed to the Castle of Exeter. Sot JUAN FERNANDtZ.—RoHnssoN Cetisost"r A California emigrant, in a letter to the Belfast Signal, writes as bellows with regard to the present condition of this island.—" At sunrise, the 11th of March, we made the island of Juan Fernandez, celebrated as the re idence of Alexander Selkirk, and as the Botany Bay of Chili. I t af fordS a very indifferent harbour, and has only twelve inho bitants, five men and seven women, all Chilians, with the exception of one man, who said he was governor of the island, that his name was Worth, and that ho was a native of Maine. He had lived on the island three years. There are five houses or huts on the island, made of poles inter woven with straw, affording protection from the weather. Peaches are large and abundant, and compose the principal food, of ,the inhabitants. The valley in which Selkirk lived is pointed out, and also the caves in iha sides of the moun taini fortnerly occupied by the Chilian convicts. The island is extremely mountainous. Wild horses and goats abound. It is:resorted to by vessels for wood and water. At sundown we sailed for California." A Fnisu OLD MAN.—Some weeks ago a pauper of this parish applied for au augmentation of his allowance, and was refused on the ground that he was a fresh old man and able to do something for himself. Nothing further well heard of his claim, tlll, after the lapse of a few days, he pre sented himself to the inspector, requesting a schedule to for ward to the board at Edinburgh respecting his case, when it appeared that he had effectually demonstrated the truth of the inspector's allegation, by having walked to Edinburgh and back, a distance of 120 miles, for the accomplishment of a purpose which might as well have been done b y staying at home.
