Edmund Mulroy, who keeps a beer-shop in Eden larre North, Pimlico, was indicted for assaul ting P olice -constable Richard Langley, 222 B, while in the execution of his duty. The prosecutor said that, on last Saturday fort night, at a quarter to 12 o'clock at night, he was called by a soldier to take the prisoner's son in-law into custody for assaulting him, which he did, and was about taking him to the station-house when he was attacked by the prisoner and two others, who knocked 1 ; 111 1 down several times, and rescued the son-in-law 'rem his custody. In reply to Mr. O'Brien's cross-examination, the Witness said he was confident the soldier gave the 3r°ll rig man into custody, and when he (witness) ca me up he saw the soldier Jying upon the ground , 51) (1 three men ill-treating him. At one o'clock the Witness went back to defendant's house and took him r,the st a ti on -h ouse . The defendant had on neither s hat nor coat, and he was locked up until five ° clock on Sunday. Three witnesses. were called in support of the I) 4 l '°secution, one of whom stated that the soldier was ° t, upon the ground at all. eni..Ayrie, a private in the 2d battalion of the enadier Guards, - was then called, when he stated tact o he was at the beer-shop of the defendant on the 1 1 ; 84 in question. The defendant's son-in-law put c '° l outside the door, but in doing so used no unne essary violence. lie swore distinctly that he never re the man in charge, nor had he (Ayrie) been , 11 °c 1 ced down and. ill-treated while lying upon the ° r °und, in the meaner states by the constable. The ASSISTANT'-JUDGE stopped the case. The con stable 4 had clearly no right whatsoever to interfere. Ayrie had sworn distinctly that he had never given roan in charge, and also that he had not been at cleked while uponi the ground, and another witness, wh o 0 . was called by the prosecutor, made a similar e it ement. When such a discrepancy as this ap- P;ared between the prosecutor's statement and those ; his witnesses it; would be quite impossible for the 4111 'Y to convict. :-F„he jury having returned a verdict of Acquitt al, fir. O'Brien complained strongly of the h a rshness an d tyranny shown by the constable in dragging a res pectable tradesman through the streets, without at or coat, at half-past one o'clock in the morning, f W , hell he knew he could be found at any hour on the .. 1 1 0.vvin g morning, and locking him up in a cold The only a portion of his clothes on. SSISTANT-JuDon agreed perfectly in the re marks A of the Learned Counsel. Even assuming that the defendant had committed the rescue, he (the 48 aistant-Judge) thought it most reprehensible that Policeman should go to the house of a respectable ;au at one o'clock in the morning and drag him to 11 e station-house in an hour after the alleged offence, Wien he knew he coul4 find him the following day.

RAILWAY BILLS. TO THE EIGHT HONOURABLE THE COM MISSIONERS OF RAILWAYS, &T. The Memorial of the Directors of the Chamber of Commerce and Manufacturers at Manchester, re spectfully sheweth,— That:your memorialists, deploring, in common with all, the calamities by which the country is on every side beset, witness, with deep concern, the aggra vating effects of the rapid drain of floating capital for railvvayt purposes; and it being painfully manifest that the competition for money between the railway and commercial interests is now wasting the resources of both, they deem it imperative that some means should be vigorously and promptly adopted, whereby the existing pressure may be relieved. That the present derangement of our monetary affairs, the injury inflicted on mercantile credit, the prostration of trade, and the alarming depreciation of every species of investment, are the consequences predicted during the activity of rail way legislation, and foreboded by this Chamber in its petition to the House of Commons of the 18th of April, 1846, and in its memorial to the Board of Trade in July of the same year. That your memorialists unhesitatingly reiterate their conviction, that the recent course of legislation, in reference to railway Bills, has not been of that judicious or comprehensive character which so im portant a subject requires; that railway Bills were passed without regard to the aggregate amount of capital which it would be necessary to collect toge ther, or to the prudent requirements of the country; that lines have, in consequence, been constructed, or are in progress, which have absorbed, and continue to absorb, an enormous amount of capital, with little, if any, corresponding advantage to the localities pro fessed to be served, whilst in many instances the re sources of the country have been literally wasted; and it is a painful reflection to remember, that the facilities for this were unsparingly granted by the Legislature, at a time when the failure o f th e p o t a t o crop and a deficient harvest obviously demanded an opposite course. That your memorialists do not ascribe to this error of the Legislature all the evils by which they are at present encompassed : the pressure on mercantile in terests, arising from the late deficiency of food, is of itself a sufficiently grave evil to contend against ; but the intensity of the pressure is grea tly i ncrease d by drains of money for purposes which, in many cases, might be postponed, with less loss to all parties, were the term for the completion of them enlarged by Par liament. That your memorialists are not unmindful that, in many cases, the shareholders in the various lines of railway throughout the kingdom might, by a resolute and energetic remonstrance with the respective directors, avert some of the evils which oppress them, and your memorialists would gladly see such a course universally adopted by shareholders ; but the Legislature invested directors with extensive powers, at the same time that it imposed a limit for the com pletion of the works, within which it was obviously impossible that the requisite capital could be raised; and thus has arisen an eagerness, in some cases a ne cessity, for collecting compulsory calls which have entailed, and are still entailing, frightful consequences —not alone upon shareholders and railway interests —but upon the general community and especially upon commerce. That your memorialists hold it to be among the first and paramount considerations of Government to look to the prosperous condition of the commerce and manufactures of the country, any serious interruption to which must lead to disastrous results, as is now painfully verified ; and they respectfully submit that, as much of the existing calamity is attributable to the course pursued by Parliament, so is it just that Parliament should interpose to retrieve its former error, and assist in arresting, or at least in diminish ing, the present antagonism between commercial and railway interests; and, as they consider such inter vention necessary and urgently called for now, your memorialists earnestly pray That your Right Honourable Board may forthwith prepare a general measure which shall have reference to all the private Bills for the construction of public works which have been sanctioned by Parliament; which shall provide powers, for extending the limit within which former Acts required the completion of the respective works,—for affording facilities to com panies to reconsider their position or to dissole them selves,—and for granting such other relief as the ne cessities of the country and your wisdom may sug gest ; and that such a Bill may be presented to Par liament on the first day of the approaching session. Manchester, October 21st, 1847. Office of Commissioners of Railways, Whitehall, Oct. 27th, 1847. Sir,—l have been directed by the commissioners of railways to acknowledge the receipt of your commu nication of the 23d instant, transmitting a memorial from the Chamber of Commerce at Manchester ; and I am to inform you that the memorial will receive the consideration of the commissioners and the Go vernment. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, H. D. HARNESS. Capt. Railway Engineers. Thomas Bazley, Esq , President of the Chamber of Commerce, Manchester. Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures, Manchester, October 28, 1847. _ _ Sir,—Under a resolution of the Directors of this Chamber, I transmit to you, for the information of the board of directors over whom you preside, a copy of a memorial which they have recently forwarded to the Commissioners of Railways; and I am to express a hope that your Board will concur with them in thinking that the measure which they propose would be a salutary one, and tend in its effects to restore, by legitimate means and with the least injurious inter ference, that ease and confidence in monetary affairs which is so necessary to the resuscitation of commer cial activity, and to the preservation of the property of the country. It would give pleasure to this Board to know that the sentiments of your directory are so far in accord with the prayer of the memorial_as to induce your energetic promotion of the end in view.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS BAZLEY, President. THE MILITIA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The importance of the subject will, I trust, be considered a sufficient excuse for my troubling you with a few remarks regarding the militia, which, as at present organized, all military men must regard as a most inefficient resource in the want of a sudden emergency calling for an increase to the military power of the realm. As regards the officers, I incline to the opinion that three years' service in the regular army would be found to qualify a gentleman for the charge of a company nearly as well as the possession of 3001. per annum in land; and so of the superior ranks, the whole of which, as well as that of captain, I am convinced, could be supplied from the half-pay list, or from those who have retired altogether from the service, provided some slight inducement were held out to the latter class, such as restoring them to their rank in the ser vice, but without pay, and allowing them to retain that rank after a certain number of years' service. With respect to the non-commissioned officers and privates, I consider that, were the same amount as is at present expended upon the militia laid out upon an increase of the number of the non-commissioned officers of the regiments and depots, which are stationed at home, and were the men, when first called out, handed over to these regiments and depots to be drilled and disciplined, they wou ld acqu i re th e requisite knowledge in far less time, and with far less drilling and punishing, than if they were at once formed into separate corps. The men being drilled, there could be no difficulty in organizing them in regiments, especially if a certain number of the oldest non-commissioned officers were taken from each regiment of the line. If the oldest were taken, these men would merely finish their service in the militia, and as they would be quickly entitled to pensions, were they to continue in the regular army, but little expense need be in curred on their account should their services be no longer required in the militia. In conclusion, I have to express a hope that I have suggested a system that would on trial be found an efficient one, and that would not prove more costly than the present one, and I am your obedient servant, London, Oct. 28, 1847.

In continuation of the retrospect ins rted in The Sun on the 19th, I send you the letter which was transmitted to Lord John Russell, Sir .tobert Peel, and others, about the 27th Dec., 1845. The letter, I am informed, is as folio , im " There never was a time when the 'prosperity or adversity of the community depended so much on legislation as at the present. As SOO' .1 as the mer chants importing corn cause an expo) 1. of bullion to i pay for it, the Bank of England r lses the rate of discount, and diminishes the curry ncy. This di minishes trade, and thereby lesse' .15; the demand for corn, agricultural produce, manufa cfmres, and every thing else. The banks thereby less, :n the demand for corn, and stop the export of bulP.o - a. If the Bank was to allow the bullion to be expv:ted to a consider able extent, it would be obliged to stop payment, as it did in the last century, and Qui disastrous conse quences that would follow to the, •whole community it is quite impossible to estimate. " The quantity of bank-notes. in circulation in Ire land. is generally four or five, rriillions ; in Great. Britain it is usually about thiity • or forty millions. The quantity of gold that circul: rtes in Great Britain is certainly more than eight tin ies the quantity that circulates in Ireland. What is. the cause of this great dirference ? The cottages occup led by labourers and artizans in England are at lersi ; of eight times the value of those in Ireland. The furniture in the English cottages is more than: .eight times the value of the furniture in the Irish cotta .ges. The houses on building leases and the mansions in England are at least eight times as valuable as those. in Ireland. The furniture in them is in the sr us in proportion. The machinery, the improved harboors, the floating docks, the canals, and the railroads, :are all of eight times more value in England than in :Ireland. The durable transferable property in Engla ad produced by the in dustry of its inhabitants is at he as t of eight times the value of that in Ireland. " It is obvious that so much. transferrable property floating among the community must keep in circula tion a corresponding quantity of gold and battk-notes, or it must fall in value below ilk price in other coun tries, and this appears to me to be the chief reason why there is more gold and wytes circule.ting in Eng land than in Ireland or any other country. "It is further obvious that the mare this durable, transferable wealth is increased, the greater quantity of gold and notes it will keep in circulation. Within the last fifteen years, nearly 100,000,000/. s t er li ng has been added to the permanent wealth of this king dom in railroads. It is proposed to increase the wealth of the nation about 80,000,000 i. more by the railroad Acts passed last session, arid there are 600 plans for railroads deposited w ith the Board of Trade, in order to obtain Acts next ses4on. As this in creased wealth will materially incre . ase the circulation of gold and notes, which also incl..ease the price of and demand for corn, and all other' ananufactures—as it will increase the rent of land wad increase the re venue, it is highly important tha nothing should b e done to prevent it. _ " The increase of the wealth (if the nation in rail roads and other durable property is in danger of being impeded (and probably will be impeded) by excessive importations of co,:n, and the conse queltt export of gold to pay for it, :and by the export of gold to pay for the constructimi of railways in foreign countries. "The natural course of coming events, may at pre sent be stated as follows :—First, an unprecedented demand for labour in the manufacture of iron, rail roads, and railroad machinery. This will enable millions to procure an ample supply of bread who have been obliged to live on scanty meals of bread or potatoes. This will produce un unprecedented de mand for foreign corn, which will occasion an unpre cedented export of gold to pay for it. To stop the export of gold the banks must diminish the currency, and refuse to make advances, and raise discounts to a much greater extent than ever it did, before ;# and to bring the gold barzk the currency must be dimi nished still more. This w ill lessen tne value of all th e property in the kingdom to an enormous amount ; throw thousands of the industrious classes out of employment ; bring thousands at present in comfort able circumstances to absolute want; ruin bankers, merchants, and railroad shareholders ; impoverish landlord and tenant; and make a considerable dimi nution of the revenue. "To avert these evils, I propose that two Acts shall be passed, of which I send you outlines . :— " The First. An Act to allow corn to be imported at a moderate duty (or duty free), and to pre vent gold being exported to pay for it. " Second. An Act to prevent gold being exported by speculators in foreign railways and foreign lotteries. "If these two Acts are passed an increase in the revenue, rents, the profits of business, and the value of property rnerally may reasonably be expected for several years." - (TO DE CONTINUED.) * Oct. 1, 1847.—The Bank refused to make adyances on Exchequer• bills for the first time. THE APPALLING SUICIDE IN ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL. ANOTHER ACCOUNT.—Yesterday morning, about half-past one o'clock, a most determined case of self destruction was committed in St. Paul's Cathedral by Mr. W. Davison, a solicitor, of Bread-street, Cheapside, and 21, Bloornsbury-square. The un fortunate gentleman was well known in the City, and was for a period of thirteen years one of the members of the Common Council for Bread-street Ward. Of late a decided change in his manners had been noticed by his friends, and they were all of opinion that his mind had, from some cause, been slightly impaired, but no one ever imagined that he contemplated self destruction. Yesterday morning he left his private residence at the usual hour, and, it is believed, went to the Exchange to transact some private business. From there, it appears, he went to St. Paul's Ca thedral, paid the admission money to enter the whis pering gallery, and shortly afterwards Thompson, who has charge of the gallery, noticed the un fortunate gentleman climb over the railings that surround the gallery, and deliberately throw himself over. He fell with a crash that completely echoed through the building. Several persons immediately went to his assistance, when they found him nearly lifeless. Without delay they removed him to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, but he expired on the road thither. The surgeons, upon making an examina tion, found that the right leg was fractured, the ribs forced in, the lower jaw shattered, and the teeth knocked out. The height the deceased fell it is understood was upwards of one hundred and thirty feet. Upon searching the unfortunate deceased a 51. Bank of England note, 5/. in gold, and 18s. in silver, were found in his pockets, and also a number of bank bills and other documents. He had also a gold watch and a bunch of keys in his possession. The ring which held the keys together was broken into half a dozen pieces by the force of the fall. One of the vergers was sent to his friends to inform them of the melancholy event. f 4 t ton NEWMARKET RACES. (THIS DAY.) BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. Match, 200, A.F. Watchdog beat Rough and-Ready.

It appeared from this that they had cleared and secured Two Brothers adit, which is upwards of 300 fathoms in length, cellared and 'secured the necessary shafts, and done other important works. They had also sunk six fathoms of Henry's shaft, which had gone down between two rich branches of tin, The cost to the end of October was 6301., and the liabilities for other works would amount to 2501. It was thought that 2,0001. would be sufficient to erect all necessary machinery, and britrg, tin in the market. They concluded by stating that the mine was well worthy of notice, and would ultimately amply reward the adventurers for their outlay. After the re port was read the meeting was ajourned for a fortnight, to take place at Coggleshall, in Essex ; in the mean time a deputation would visit the mine in Cornwall, and report to the next meeting. LITERATURE. Three Yds. By the Author of "Second Love.' On the appearance of " Second Love," we augured the production of still better things by its author, when his style was more mellowed by practice and his fruitful imagination more modulated in its pro fusion. Our anticipations are being fulfilled. " Gisella " is a bolder venture than its predecessor, seeing that it is a fiction extending over three post octavo volumes instead of over one and a half. And inasmuch as the interest is equally well sustained, without any of that exaggerated passion which occa sionally marred the naturalness of " Second Love " reminding one more of the blue-lights and gun powder of a me l o d rama than of the spontaneous sparkle of a vaudeville, or the u n f orce d p a thos of a tragic-comedy--" Gisella " is a work more calcu lated to enhance the reputation of its writer as a novelist. Let him persevere, without frittering his powers away in periodicals, without emulating G. P. H. James or C. P. de Kock in multiplicity of corrapositions, and without contenting himself with such a lazy renown as that acquired by the volup tuous Beckford in penning the single tale of " Vatheck"—and he may inscribe his name among the most successful romancists of his generation. He has already many of the fundamental qualifica tions—a teeming fancy, a playful and voluble dic tion, a ready idea of character, a felicitous combina tion of incident, and a capacity for painting scenery in word; and stenographing dialogues with the skil fulness of a reporter. In these particulars both " Second L ove ' and " Gisella" are remarkable, but the latter is especially so. A new region— unharrowed by th e h ac k storytellers of the circulating lib rar i es --i s opened, and the reader enters upon the nar ra ti on, i n consequence, with an agreeable sense of freshness. H ungary is that region, and we call it new to th e wor ld of novels advisedly, notwith standing the previous publication several years ago of the " Hungarian Brothers ;" for in spite of the graceful sketches of country and cus toms there given by Miss Porter, Hungary was then only presented as in a glimpse, and has lain fallow ever since. From the prefatory pre sentation prefixed to " Gisella" it would appear that the author has qualified himself to become a painter of Hungarian scenes and a describer of Hungarian habits, by a sojourn in that Austrian dependency, while resident on the domain of Hermine, Countess Rasoumoffsky, née, De Marczibanyi—a personage, whether or not, of a resemblance in identity with Citizen Herman Melville, late the visitant of Typee and Omoo. Already the lovers of fictitious narratives have been charmed by translated novelties from Swe den, such as the books of Miss Bremer, or others from Denmark, such as those of Hans Christian Andersen. Romance readers seem to have flown in despair to the banks of the Zuider Zee and the Baltic, from the bloody besoms of de Balzac ' and the blind mur d erers of Eugene Sue. They w ill surely rejoice, therefore, when they are conveyed away in fancy to a land so historic and picturesque as Hungary, not on the kite of a translator but upon the wings of an ori ginal writer. Into Hungary then the reader is conveyed instanter on the opening of the firstchapter, and there his imagination continues to be while perusing the supplemental notice at the close of the last v o lume. The scenery is Hun gar i an, t h e and the characters incidents c a i r d e e nts arare peculiarly Hungarian, the costum e s, Hungarian. h At thee manners, very outset of the story we have descriptions, for ex ample of a mirage on the waste plains or Puszta, of a hurricane of sand, and of a thunder-storm on the Danube, each depicted with peculiar vividness. Im mediately before the hurricane commences we are introduced to Aladar, the hero, and Gisella, the heroine of the tale. The first is a splendid idealism of the peasant noble of Hungary, and in his fortunes the principal interest of the story is concentrated. About Gisella, on the other hand, there is thrown such a mystery at the commencement and such a dis appointing annoyance at the termination of the work, that we are rather curious as to her vicissitudes and disposition than inspired with admiration in her be half. As we are solicitous that many of our readers should themselves enjoy the gratification we have ex perienced in reading this second novel by the author of " Second Love," we will abstain from a practice for which we entertain in the abstract a singular dis relish, namely, that of.analysing the plot of the piece, and giving a crude synopsis or skeleton of the inci dents. It necessarily diminishes the interest of the work to whomsoever might examine it subsequently. The chief points of attraction in " Gisella' are the scenes laid in the Greek monastery, among the banditti, in the hovel of the Jew Balthazar with the " porcelain-blue eyes," in the lonely mansion of the Countess, and along the perilous journey to Vienna. Unhappily we are just now impelled to devour with a double curiosity the passages relating to the principal peril of that journey —namely, the prevalence of the cholera in Germany during 1831. z—from its re-appearance in those countries during this very autumn, and its gradual advance westward towards ourselves. The author has here seized a theme such as Sue had al ready introduced into his " Juif Errant," and Bulwer in his " Rienzi," and Ainsworth in his " Old St. Paul's," and Horace Smith in his "Brambletve House." Among the other characters depicted in " Gisella," the most worthy of mention are those of Irma, the sister of Aladar, Ilka, the idiot girl, Pe tike, the pot-binder, Paprika, his dog, Sobri or Shubry, the robber, Black Hallo, his associate, Bro ther Achacius, and the Archimandrid, The Archi mandrid is the demon of the story—a sort of Arbaces, the Egyptian, with more of his malice and cunning, and less of his sublime audacity and genius. Petike is a droll fellow enough, and a good fellow to boot, but his drollery is carried rather to exaggeration— like that of an extra-comic gentleman in a farce. Ilka, again, is certainly the most precocious imp of a child, and the most sagacious and inspired idiot con ceivable. Sobri is, however, to us the gem of the book. The introduction of this celebrated free booter would have redeemed the rest of the work, had the residue been indifferent instead of excellent. Sobri—and who, some may ask, is Sobri? Sobri or Shubry is no creation of the fancy, but a reality and an existence—a robber who, in truth, " merited the name of the Hungarian Robin Hood." Here is the first outline of his appearance : GISELLA. " He was a fine striking looking young fellow, of wild and vigorous aspect ; the character of his bold and rough, but eminently handsome, face, wore a strange mixture of the brightest sunbeams of a joyous humour with the shades of melancholy. He was attired after the fashion of the country; but the skirts of his spread ing white trousers were embroidered with the gayest colours in worsted, and adorned with long coloured fringe ; and the ends of his long wide shirt-sleeves, which hung through the arm-holes of his dark open waistcoat, glittering with a quantity of bright, flat, metal buttons, were likewise decorated with embroidery. A white short cloak, or MIT, fancifully adorned with patches of bright cloth, in flowers and arabesques, about the collar, rims, and pocket-hole slits, the sleeves of which, bound up at the extremities, showed that they were never meant for use, was slung in Hussar fashion over one shoulder, A broad hat, the brim of which was turned up on all sides, and laced with a Vandyked band of what might have been once yellow lace, was stuck jauntily on his head, and surmounted by a few wild goose feathers and artificial flowers, which raised their heads from behind the brim, like a nosegay out of a spreading vase. From beneath the hat, his thick curl ing black hair streamed down in masses, and contributed, with his long wire-drawn mustachios, to give a greater air of wildness to his whole appearance. To his boots were attached very long spurs of bright, well-cleaned metal, which he clanked together sonorously, as, he knocked his heels with a lively movement, in speaking. On the table he had laid a whip, the handle of which was short, but the lash immeasurably long, and attached by several small rosettes of leather strips of various colours. The tobacco bag, which was stuck into the leather girdle that tightly bound his waist, and gave an appearance of extraordinary width to his broad chest, was likewise embroidered in silks with the gayest flowers. A short pipe was stuck between his teeth, and jerked upwards with a sort of protrusion of the under jaw, in such a manner as not to prevent his speaking without removing it. As he addressed the travellers, he was employed in passing over his head a flat round gourd, or bottle of wine, which hung by a coloured cord upon his back." In a subsequent passage the author observes of Sobri " Among the many characters assumed by this singular individual, that of the wild herdsman of the plains was one of the most frequent ; and it was under this form, and in this dress, that the celebrated robber w as c hi efly known among the common people, over whom he exercised, far and w id e , an i n fl uence scarcely less great than that which h e p ossesse d over hi s gang • u n d er this form it was.that he was generally described in popula r story. But so various and delusive were the disguises he was accustomed to assume, with marvellous versa tility, of all ages and even of all ranks of men, that for a long time it was a matter of dispute in the journals of the day, and even among those who had seen him, con versed with him, and might have been supposed to know him well, whether he was young or old, well-f ormed or broken down, t a ll or s h ort , o f p ea sant birth and m anner, or of better ed ucat i on . T o the people, Sobri was the Haroun al Ras e hid o f th e i r s ong and legend —to some, all,th e the demon fantastic of d heroknes darkness--to t w o i others, ld ram aannce7gel of light— to He re-appears in various parts of the tale afterwards, and, other disguises, in that of a grizzled old . tinker. As a corollary to what we have already re marked about this renowned bandit, and as an ap propriate specimen of the manner in which the writer can depict a thrilli ng i nc ident, we give the following account of the escape, in a boat, at night, across the Danube, when the river was vigilantly guarded by the sanitary officers, for the purpose of preventing th e diffusion of the cholera : " The storm, which had broken over the heads of the fugitives in th e b oa t, h a d alreddy well nigh spent its violence. Although the wind blew as blows the wind of the thunder- c l ou d d own th e stream, yet its force was not sufficient to offer any very materia l impediment to the efforts of th e t wo h ar dy men who plied the boat across the river; and n o ne o f the moll party were disposed to murmur against the st orm w hi c h h a d covered ti heavens with darkness, thus becoming a blessing them, not a curse, as the only means that could hat rendered the reaching the other bank of the Danube i concealment, a matter of possibility. The lady Gisell sat crouched at tge bottom of the boat—her hands folde, over her breast—her spirits rising with the danger — her courage high—her trust in Providence. The two men stood, each at his long oar, directing thn lvat partially against the current of the stream, in order to reach the point immediately opposite, which was above the village already mentioned, and an isolated spot. The violence of the rapid Danube is, however, always great: the wind added to the force of the current; and in spite of the vigorous exertions of the two men, it soon became evident that they were drifting much further down the stream than was their intention. The same flash of lightning that had discovered the boat to the watchers on the shore which they had left, showed the toiling men that they would be shortly upon the point of running against one of those boat-mills, so peculiar ( to the Danube, which are anchored on the stream, in the neighbourhood of every village on its banks. Oa this occasion the one they approached lay above the village which it was their effort to avoid. The horses plunged, scared at the flash of lightning; but the lady Gisella, with that courage which formed a part of her character in moments of emergency, rose, seized the reins at their heads, and endeavoured to pacify them with those manoeuvres of a ready horsewoman, which formed part of her Hungarian education. The broad flare of light, however, which had showed them the hulk of the anchored mill, revealed the boat, at the same time, to a guard stationed upon it. " ' Boat a-head! Whence come ye?' shouted a voice from the mill. " ' Pull a-head, man, and with all your power!' said the robber, in a low voice, to Antal. " ' Boat a-head!' cried the guard ugain. 'lf you do not speak, I fire!' " Almost at the same instant the man upon the mi fired. The bullet whizzed past the boat, and splashed into the water close by the lady's side. " Pull! pull!' cried Sobri once more. " But at the same moment they became faintly visible to a body of soldiers upon the bank; and several shots were fired from the shore by the guards, put upon the alert by the report of their comrade's musket: again, however, the fugitives remained untouched in the dark ness, by the firing of the random shots. " In spite of the struggles of Sobri and the driver, the boat now drifted violently against the mill. But with his ever ready presence of mind, the robber, at the very moment the shock was felt, calling to Antal to hold on by the hull of the mill-boat, sprang upon its deck. Before the guard could again load his weapon, the robber had his grasp upon his throat, and flung him violently on his back. The next moment his hand was upon the soldier's mouth, and his•knee upon his chest. " Utter another word—make another struggle—and you are a dead man,' he cried; the road is not many miles long from the edge of this hulk to the rushing stream, which will stop your bellowing for ever.' " At the noise of the bustle occasioned by this inci dent, another adversary came forward in the person of the miller, who issued from the interior of the mill-cabin. Before this second person could utter any shout or cry, a pistol was drawn from Sobri's breast, by the hand which was free, and pointed at his head. " 'And this the second, if ho make but a sign to alarm the guard upon the shore said the robber, or dare to stir from this spot.' " The unhappy miller remained as if spell-bound at this sudden danger. " What is it? where is the boat?' shouted a voice from the shore. " ' Now speak ! tell them that it has drifted down the stream,' whispered the robber, pointing his pistol at the miller's head. " The man obeyed in trembling voice, " Louder!' said Sobri, with menacing gesture. " The man again obeyed. " Were there many persons on board?' shouted again the voice from the shore. " Tell them you saw several,' commanded the robber. " The miller echoed the prompting of the man who held a pistol at his face. "A command was beard to be given to the guards upon the shore, to scour immediately down th e s t ream towards the village, and prevent the landing of the party in the boat, that was thus supposed to have run further down the stream. " After giving time to the soldiers on the banks to vacate their post upon the opposite shore, Sobri dropped his pistol. " You may shout now. They will not hear you,' ho said to the trembling miller: but I would advise you not; for you may still have a bullet through your brains.' " Then, tearing violently asunder the shirt-sleeve of his arm which held down the soldier's head, he bound it about the fellow's mouth ; with equal promptitude and force, he turned round the struggling man, undid his own leather girdle, and fastened the arms of the guard behind him. lie rose, dragged the man into the interior of the cabin, and flung him down ; then, seizing the shaking miller, he thrust him also into the interior of the mill, locked the door upon his prisoners, and flung the key from him into thq, water. " ' Now, man, now put , forth all your force. Pull up against the stream ; the coast is clear for the time,' he cried to Antal, as he again dropped' into the boat. " The rain that fell from the last outpourings of the storm dashed around the men as theynow again struggled violently to head the stream. But their efforts were re warded with better success. Presently they ran against the shore, at some distance above the mill. Sobri sprang upon the bank, drew up the ferry-boat by its chain, spiked the chain firmly to the ground, and, after ad vancing a little inland to reconnoitre, returned to say, in a low cautious voice, that they might risk the landing. The carriage and horses were drawn upon land by the united efforts of Sobri and the driver. The lady followed. " ' Now, let it really drift down the stream, that it betray not our place of landing,' said the robber, as he again loosened the boat. He gave it a violent shove with his foot ; and it was soon floating down the curre"ht. " NOw wrap your cloak firmly about you, sweet lady,' said the robber, as he handed Gisella into the carriage. This is a rude journey for so frail and sweet a flower. The road lies along the river's banks. On with you, then. Hurry forward, but not so as to ex cite suspicion or alarm. You possess a good passport, as I heard from that bold youth : you need no longer then have any fear. Should you meet with any other patrol, put on a bold face: they have no right to hinder your further progress. Heaven guide and prosper you! And now, indeed, farewell—farewell for ever!' " But now Gisella stretched forth her hand, without a thought who or what was the man before her, except that he had again been her preserver ; and now the robber, yielding to an impulse he no longer could resist, bent over it to imprint a kiss upon it. Wds it a tear from the robber's eye, or but the moisture from the heavens? But Gisella's hand was wet. " ' Generous man!' exclaimed the lady, in broken voice. " A deep sigh responded to her. The carriage drove on: and the robber was immediately lost to sight in the darkness. " It was the last Gisella ever saw of that extraordinary man. In after years the jeurnals of the day were again filled with his exploits in the woods of Bakony, his daring deeds, and his escapes. His ultimate fate was never clearly known. His band was cut in pieces, at last, by a troop of Schwarzenberg lancers; and the body of a young man of striking and remarkably handsome exterior was found among the slain. But none could ever tell whether it was that of the famous Sobri. The people believe that he still exists, and will again appear, to be their protector and their friend. By some it is con fidently asserted, that he has retired into obscurity, and lives an honest life, as a peasant farmer. Another vague report asserts, however improbably, that he has been positively recognised, under the robe of a Benedictine monk, in the monastery of Tihany. His fate thus remains in the obscurity of that romance which shed so strange a halo over his whole existence." Sobri is only introduced: in the third volume, and yet his character leaves a more lasting impression upon the memory than that of any of the other per sonages, not even excepting Gisella and Aladar. Of the style of the composition we could speak more in commendation were it not disfigured by such mongrel words as "martyrized" (p. 288, III.), and " artificious ness" (p. 43, II.) Sometimes a thought is condensed into a brief sentence, as where it is remarked " What a beautifying influence has hope alone, when it springs up like a fresh fountain from the desert of misfor tune." More generally, however, a single thought is dilated 'over many pages. The principal merits of the composition altogether are the newness of the descriptions, and the rapid variation of the incidents. In these respects " Gisella" is a phenomenon among the novels of this season. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, THURSDAY.—The Queen will hold a Privy Council on Saturday next, at one o'clock, at the Castle. The Queen and Prince Albert took their usual early walk to-day. The Royal Family took walking and pony exercise in the Slopes. Prince Albert enjoyed the sport of shooting this morning.

When we spoke of the abundance of oport on paper for Thursday and Friday, we did not calowlate on more than a dozen races each day. It happened, however, that all the stakes prcposed for this day filled, and these, with the standing engagements, made up arr Aggregate of fifteen races—a number without precedent in modern times, and rendering it necessary, in order to get tA. 'rough the list by daylight, to commence it at eleven o'..•lock, and to run, in several instances, at intervals of a qusvter of an hour. Under these circumstances, anything t.'e yond an outline of the racing is impossible; in fact, sues 'was the confusion arising from the hurried manner in which the business of weighing, &c., was carried on, and the want of proper accommodation in the stands, that to obtain detailed information of the running, or to gua rantee the correctness of what wo have given, is out of the question. Having said thus much to account for the 1 irevity of our dispatch, we may state, without fear of c ontradiction, that a finer day's racing was never wit n iessed, and the enjoyment of it was in no small degree e nhanced by the fineness of the weathr. We have no doubt that we shall have to give a si&llar notice of to n sorrow and Saturday's sport, and that the November meeting on Monday will be in keeping.

There lr i tl i 4 was a numerous and influential body of the sup.. mot i s . l porters of the cause present. _ asp, ri - i . .• , Ik .i i The chair was taken by Walter Howell, E sq . . _. I , ... g m i . The cloth having been removed, the usual loyal -, l _, 1, and national toasts were responded to in the warmest .. manner. . The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the toast of thlL. ,n. evening, " The Li cense d Vi c t ua ll ers ' P rotect i on So 4 , j ' 7 ciety, and success t o it," t oo k occas i on, i n a neat a ' II ' ' appropriate speech, t o re f er t o th e r i se an d progress i , k e z the society, and th e b ene fit s it h a d a l rea d y con f er tz upon the trade. The society was, he said,' establi- ' iz .. in the month o f O c t o b er, 1 833, and the pre - Sent AO 4.zss ing was brought together to celebrate the fourteeitt*.bt anniversary of its birth. It was founded "fort protection of the fair and honest trader, and not fo. ,atii defend those who may grossly violate the law, or who may be pro secu t e d b y t h e Excise for fraudulent r;-c......,---- adulterations." Pr ev i ous t o th e year 1833 the trade ‘'"`-',,,,.....1it had had been exposed t o grea t i nconvenience, through the ~.. vexatious proceedi ngs o f common informers. Even 1 at the commencement of the society, when they had but five hundred members, the annual number of pro secutions amounted to seventy. Whereas at pre sent, when the number of members was sixteen hundred, there were not more than thirty prosecu tions in the year. This showed the benefit which the society had conferred upon the trade, and that it was deserving of support. Commop informers were, in fact, now only known by name. ;The result was owing to the activity of the officers . of the society, and the ability of their legal advisers. In 1833,the difficulty of resisting the prosecutions which were carried on was so great, that no individual could pro tect himself against them; it was, therefore, felt that it was only through the aid of a society that they. could have adequate security. It was, then, incum bent upon tho se w h o f e lt any i n t eres t in the pros perity of the society to pull together and sail in the same boat. The Chairman concluded by expressing a hope that, if there were any persons present con nected with the trade, who did not belong to the society, that they would not leave the room until they had enrolled themselves as members of the society. The toast was drank with the greatest applause. Mr. BLEADON proposed the next toast. In doing so, he said they had music and harmony to prepare the tone of their minds ; and his first duty, he was happy to say, was to bid welcome to their worthy chairman, who did them the honour that evening of presiding at their festive board.—(Cheers.) They could tell him that although they were licensed vic tuallers, and were not reputed to possess that refine.; ment which other classes possessed, that they had at least a feeling of grateful affection, and should re member with great pleasure for many days his kind ness in coming amongst them. He (Mr. Bleaden) was sure that their chairman would ensure them at any time, or anywhere an audience, both in numbers and respectability ; and, for his own part, he could not help saying, that as the •society was not an ag gressive, but a defensive one, he felt regret that out of a body of 10,000 or 12,000 licensed victuallers in London, there were only 1,600 subscribers to that most excellent institution.—(Bear, hear.) It was necessary when bad men congregated, that good men should combine, and the licensod victuallers only combined to protect themselves.—(Cheers.) They felt grateful to their worthy chairman for his attend ance on that occasion, and it was his duty to tell him how very gratefully they wished him long life, health, happiness, and prosperity. He felt great pleasure, therefore, in proposing " the health of their worthy Chairman." This toast was also disposed of with the usual honours. , -,•;) 1 • 47'1 r 4' l- * .• BRUSSELS, OCT. 26.—Mr. Green, who made his 176th ascent on Sunday last, descended with his throe !t" companions, after travelling for five hours, at Schrie a .. raiz village between Malines and Louvain. 777. -..
