irtin SIT 149 LONDON' ATU'RDAY! EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1840,

afternoon of the SI, fell with their whole force upon
the Imperialists stationed on the right bank of the
river. whose numbers had been seriously diminished
by flying troops, &c., having been sent out. The
Brigade Birco, which was posted with five it:complete
bat,allions between Mocsa end Pusta Herltaly, obstinately
resisted the insurgents, who with considerably superior
forces, made a most impetuous attack. General
Csorich cn learning this, immediately despatched
reinforcements of all three arms to the right hank of
the Danube. The enemy had, however, taken advan-
tage of his superiority of numbers to turn the right
flank and threaten the rear of Barco's brigade. The
Im-
perial troops were, therefore, obliged to retreat to the left
bank of the river, which, notwithstanding the unfavorable
formation of the' terrain,' was accomplished in good order.
As the commanding position of the enemy's batteries
rendered it impossible to take away the pontoon bridge,
a couple of the boats were burned. (This is probably
the bridge which had been thrown across the Danube at
Loved, a small place a little to the west of Atsh.) Ge-
neral Csorich:is unable to send in a statement of his loss,
as the caimonade stil continued on the banks of the
Danube, while his report was sent off. In consequence
of what has taken place the direct communication be-
tween Rada and Atsh is interrupted."
Ball), on the sth, was deserted, there were neither
Imperialists nor Hungarians in the town.
Agram papers state that the Council of the Banat
has plssel an unanimous vote against the Austrian
Constitution of the 4th March. The greatest
apprehension prevails in Moldavia lest the Hunga-
rians that entered that province should follow up their
aivantages. The Russians and Austrians at Galati
vi ere preparing to take flight, and it was even ru-
moured that another corps of 10,000 men, under
General Bern, had entered Moldavia.

The following is an extract from a private letter
received this morning from 011nautz :
..

"I was told that the Emperor of Austria said
several times at the Privy Council, that
he would be willing to treat with the Hun-
garians ; and yesterday, at the Schoenbrunn
Palace, he said so before his mother, the
Archduchess Sophia. She was very angry with the
Emperor about his peaceable ideas, and resorted to
very angry words. The Emperor got in a rage at
such unjust remarks, and took his sword, broke it
and placed it at her feet, upon which his mother
was so exasperated that she slapped his face."

ACCIDENT AT THE FLORA GARDENS. —Last night
an accident of a serious character took place at the
Flora-gardens, Wyndham-road, Camberwell. Amongst
the entertainments was the exhibition of the Messrs. de
Witte, the Flying Brothers, the one us Mercury, the
Flying Wonder, and nimbus, the God of Day, who
were to take a flight across the garden, at an immense
height, on a slack wire, and surrounded with fireworks.
At ten o'clock the youths commenced their perilous task,
when, suddenly, to the great terror and alarm of the
spectators, when the elder brother had reached the
centre of the wire, it snapped and he descended to the
ground with fearful violence. He was speedily extri-
cated, but not until he was severely burnt about the
body and legs, but in other respects he escaped without
injury. His extraordinary preservation .is attributable
to his having been caught by the branches of a tree. Mr.
King, a neighbouring surgeon, was speedily in attend-
ance, and restored the poor fellow to consciousness. Mr.
Henning, the proprietor, suspecting foul play, caused an
immediate examination of the wire, when it was found to
have been bent or twisted so as to break on the slightest
strain. Mr. Henning at once offered a reward of 501.
for the apprehension of the delinquents.

Chapel at Bath, where he was a popular preacher), and
brother to Major• General Burd Gabriel, 0.13.,
Captain Gabriel entered the service in 1794, mid re-
ceiv d his li utenant's commission in 1800. In that

and gallantry on many trying; occasions.

TURKEY.

The Journal de Constantinople of the 24th July
gives the following details of the fire at Serves :
" A most disastrous fire broke out on the 18th, in the
commercial town of Serves, in Roumelia, and about 18
hours' journey from Adrianople, of which it was the
rival. It broke out in the coffee-room of a bazaar, and
rapidly spread, in consequence of a high wind. The
result was that the flames spread in different directions,
and to such an extent that it was found impossible to stop
their progress, and, above all, in the absence of any orga-
nised system of exertion as well as of engines and all the
instruments requisite under such circumstances. The
destruction of two-thirds of this town, which had for
some time been increasing in prosperity, w as mainly owing
to the indecision of Abreddyn Bey. About 2,000 shops,
632 houses belonging to Greeks, 15 Turkish houses, 2
mosques, 6 convents, 6 Turkish schools, 15 Greek
churches, 22 khans, and 2 immense factories belonging
to dyers, have been reduced to ashes. Many respectable
persons connected with the commerce of Serves have
suffered most severely by this scourge. The quarters of
Khervan Kha❑ and Berestin escaped the flames. The
Jew quarter would infallibly have been destroyed, if a
house had not been pulled down adjoining to the Syna-
gogue, so that the flames could not reach that edifice.
The value of the property destroyed is immense, but an
accurate estimate has not yet been made respecting it."

POOR-RATES.

Sir HENRY WILLOUGHBY asked the Chief Com-
missioner for the administration of the poor-laws, if any
information has been received that poor-rates have been
expended in aid ot wages, under the head ot insufficient
earnings, in some parts of Lancashire, especially at
Ashton-under-Lyne, during the last twelve months, and
whether any order has been issued on that subject by
the Commission.

Mr. BAINES replied that no information to that effect
had been received by the Poor-Law Board, nor had they
issued any order to such a proceeding.

EXPULSION OF THE ENGLISH FROM FRANCE.
Mr. BAILLIE COCHRANE said he wished to put a
question to the Noble Lord at the head of the Govern-
ment, which was of great importance to some of the
poorer classes in this country. It was, to know
whether the workmen who were driven out of
Paris at the period of the revolution this time last year
had ever been paid the money which they had deposited
in the French savings'-banks?

Lord J. RUSSELL said at the period referred to by
the Honourable Member communications had passed
between this and the French Government on the sub-
ject of those deposits. No notice, however, having been
given of the question, he was not now prepared to an-
swer it.

LEAMINGTON.

The new Elliston Rooms and Theatre Royal again
presented a very animating scene on Saturday night last,
being filled with a large audience, comprising the elite of
the Royal Spa, to witness the third dramatic represents.
don since the opening of this new establishment, under
the directorship of Mr. Charles R. Elliston. The even-
ing's entertainment commenced with Shakapere's play of
The Merchant of Venice, the part of Shylock being
cleverly performed by Mr. James Wallack; and con-
cluded with the farce of My Aunt, Mr.-Wallack sustain-
ing the character of Dashal. After the play the follow-
ing address, writtlan expressly for this theatre by the
Right Hon. Lord Leigh, of Stoneleigh Abbey, wail ably
delivered by Mr. Conway, a talented member of the
corps dramatique :
Once more, not far from Avon, and the town
That claims the matchless Shakespere as her own,
Here, where great Kean auxiliar honors won,
And Elliston, Thalia's favourite son,
Ere, as he grew the genius of the place,
The noble structures raised our Spa that grace,
We build a Theatre, where scenic art
Has well, to please your taste, performed her part;
here may we hope the drama may revive,
For your amusement, your instruction thrive;
Here graceful beauty by attraction's law,
Aided by genius, must full houses draw;
And wandering stars may here be fixed awhile
To shine with brighter radiance when you smile!
Goldsmith's pure humour, Sheridan's fine wit,
Our classic theatre we trust befit;
You all at home on Sbakspeare's page to dwell
Delight, his characters embodied well
(No art their inmost excellence can show)
Lire on the stage and there in action glow.
As in a mirror, Folly here may see
Her proper form, and folly cease to be;
And Vice, in truest colours, here portrayed,
May startle minds that wicked thoughts invade;
•
Sympathy wakened, by fictitious grief,
Prompts you to give to real woe relief;
The actor wins, in genuine feeling, cheers,
Whether those cheers break through your smiles or
tears
In lively scenes Life's social pleasures charm
The heart, in serious Virtue's triumphs warm.
The laughter-moving farce, when on the stage
Well acted, shews " the spirit of the age."
To recreate the fancy, to adorn
Truth with her smiles, the comic muse was born;
While the deep sorrows of the tragic lyre
Emotions strong to nature true inspire.
Deem not, kind friends, the bubbles of the day,
That shine and burst, we promise to display ;
We eater for the public taste, and find,
In sister arts, your tastes to be refined.
In music, sculpture, painting and we hail •
The omen that in acting they prevail.
Long here may wit her influence maintain,
And sterling sense, by right of judgment, reign.

RATIONAL TREATMENT of STRIC-
1_ TURES of the URETHRA, in all their varieties and compli-
cations. With practical observations en the use and abuse of instru-
ments in the treatment of urethral diseases, showing that the unne-
cessary employment of instruments is a frequent exciting cause of
stricture, and that a want of practical knowledge and manual dex-
terity in their use, when necessary, is the source of most of the se-
vere, long-protracted, and complicated cases of that disorder so fa-
tally prevalent.
By F. B. COURTENAY,
" The operation of introducing a catheter through an impermeable
stricture is, without doubt, the most difficult in the whole range of
surgical operations, and demands all the prudence, science, and skill
•f a master. The art can only be acquired, and that gradually, by
frequent practice."—Liston's Operative Surgery.

PRISON DISCIPLINE.

Mr. Alderman SIDNEY wished to know whether it
was from the failure of the separate system or from any
other cause that prisoners were not now confined in
separate cells in the Peatonville prison, and whether the
Government were prepared to recommend to the ma-
gistracy of the country ono uniform system of prison
discipline ?
Sir G. GREY was understood to reply, that although
several prisoners had been removed from separate cells,
the general system adopted in the prison was to con-
fine them separately. With regard to the other ques-
tion, it was not the intention of the Government to en-
force any general system in the gaols throughout the
country.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES,

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
ge ►us tUan any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself i►► advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to ills representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
faces which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
through this Society.
