HUNGARY.
Ye Emperor and Czar who now 'gainst liberty unite,
And send your barbarous armies forth to trample Law
and Right;
The wretch who for one murder dies less guilty is by far
Before the All-seeing eye than you, ye Emperor and Czar.
"Spare neither age nor sex!" ye cry; have ye no sense
of shame ?
Must your own words to all the earth your infamy pro-
claim ?
The meanest name in Hungary's hosts will brighter
shine by far..

In history's future page than yours, ye Emperor and
Czar.

Arouse thyself, Old England I thou art Freedom's oldest
friend;
To thee the other nations look, on thee their eyes they
bend;
One word from thee, if firmly spoke, would stop the
unholy war,
And carry terror to the hearts of Emperor and Czar.

There is one misfortune unhappily attendant on
people with vivid imaginations; when they have formed
their projects of future happiness, they are too apt to
neglect the means of securing it; they build themselves
a palace in the future, and allow the cottage they possess
to crumble into dust; instead of ploughing in the
autumn, and sowing in the spring, they already reap in
imagination.—Eliza Cook's Journal.
WESTERN DIVISION OF SURREY.—John Ivatt

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)

XTT '
AGAINST LOLA 1.1.0N1 "..12 01(COUNTESS
LANDSFELDT).
Some considerable degree of excitement was Ma'
nifested in the vicinity of this court, this afterucon, in
consequence of its having been rumoured that the above
celebrated personage was in custody, and to be brought
up for examination on the charge of hav7
ing intermarried with Lieutenant George Traf-
ford Heald, of the 2d Life Guards, her former
husband, Captain James, being, as it was alleged, then
and now, alive. Two o'clock having been the hour fixed
upon for the charge being gone into, long before that
hour the court was crowded almost to excess. M
the hour above named, the fair defendant, accom-
panied by her husband, entered the court, and
were both accommodated with chairs in front
of the bar. The fair lady is a remarkably fine and
handsome woman wiih extremely beautiful eyes. Her
husband, Lieutenant Heald, is a tall, gentlemanly man
of rather youthful appearance, and seems particularly
fond of the Countess his wife.
Mr. Bodkin appeared for the defendant, and
Mr. Clarkson, fur the prosecution, which was mainly
instituted by the friends of Lieut. Heald, the aunt of
whom was pie s( nt during the proceedings. Mr. Hard'
wick was also present on the bench to assist Mr. Bing-
ham, the sitting magistrate, in the investigation of the
case.
Mr. CLARKSON, in opening the case, stated- that be
was instructed to bring forward these proceedings by
Mrs. Heald, of Hedlington Grove. near Horncastle,
Lin-
colnshire, who was sister to Mr. George Heald, a Chew
cery barrister, (father to the husband of the de-
fendant), and, consequently his aunt. Mrs. Heald,
the aLove-eemed, considered it to be her duty to
institute these inquiries, she being in a situation
to prove that the def'endant's real name was Eliza
Reece Hannah James, the wife of Captain James, of the
21st Eist India Native Infantry, and tbat she was mar-
ried in the month of July last to Lieutenant Heald, her
former husband being then alive. The young gentle-
man, the husband of the defendant, came of age on
the 21st of January last, when he came into possession
of a fortune of six or seven thousand pounds a year, and
the whole of these inquiries were contrary to his
wishes and inclination. The defendant's first marriage
took place in Ireland, in July 1837, to Mr. James,
who was then a lieutenant in the regiment. She
accompanied him to India with the regiment,
and afterwards returned from India under the
charge of Captain Ingram. On being apprehended this
morning she stated that she was divorced from Captain
James, by an order of the House of Lords. The
Learned Gentleman then called the following witnesses:—'
Miss Heald deposed that she resided at Hedlington'
grove, near Horncastle, Lincolnshire; that she was
sister to the deceased George Heald, a Chancery
barrister, the husband of the defendant being his son and
her nephew. She was appointed his guardian by the
Court of Chancery, and her trust expired in January
last, he then being of age.
Thomas Howard Montague, a clerk in the Consistorl
Court, produced the proceedings of the suit in the Court
of Chancery which was heard by Dr. Lushington, whose
sentence thereon was to the effect that the parties were.
to be divorced from bed, board, &c., and they should not
contract any marriage during the liftime of each other.
This judgment was given in December, 1842.
Frederick Samuel Danvers, clerk in the secratary'll
office, East India House, produced the returns of the
company as far as they had been made up, namely, to
the 13th of June last, intimating thit Mr. James was
then captain of the Bengal Native Infantry, and was
then alive. He was a lieutenannt in the same regiment
in 1837.
Chas. 11. Powell, clerk to St. George's, Hanover'
square, recognised the lady who represented herself aS
the Countess of Landsfeldt, and Mr. Heald, who at•
tached their signatures to the register-book (which he
produced) on the 19th of July last, they having been
that day married by the curate, Mr. Ralston.
Sergeant Gray, of the detective police, stated that be
apprehended the Countess this morning, at half-past
nine, at No. 27, Half Moon-street, as she was about to
proceed to her carriage, which was waiting at the door.
Having told her the nature of the charge, she said she
had been divorced by Parliament, that she did not knout
whether James was dead or alive, that she was married
in a wrong name, and that it was not a legal marriage.
Lord Brougham was present when the divorce was
granted, and it could be proved by Captain Osborne, be
being also present at that time.
Inspector When, of the C division, was present at the
apprehension of the Countess, and corroborated the
above evidence.
Mr. Shaw, assistant clerk to Saint George's, was pre.
sent at the marriage, and recognized the parties as hal.
ing been married at the above church on the 19th of Jell'
Captain Ingram, commander of the Larkins, a ship 10
the merchant service, knew the person of Mrs. Janie'
(Countess Landsfeldt). He also knew Captain Jstnet
of the Royal Bengal Native Infantry. Captain Jape:
brought his wife on board of the Larkins in October c*
November, in the year 1841 or 1842, ho could not the!
recollect. The defendant came to England with hint 514
the vessel.
Mr. BODKIN having replied, the magistrates retired
0;
and upon their return it was arranged that the 19,
should be postponed, the defendant finding two sureties
in 5001. each, or one in 1,0001. to appear this day wet;
The requirea sureties naving been entered into,
defendant retired with her friends.

pointed her Majesty's Consul at Portland, in the State of
Maine, United States, in the room of Mr. Sherwood, de-

was due at Huddersfield at 8.32, but did not arrive until

damage than the delay it occasioned to the down train

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A CLERGYMAN.—BEISTOLf
AUG. 4.—The inhabitants of Clifton have been startled
by the intelligence of a 'most shocking accident having
occurred yesterday afternoon to a clergyman of the
Church of England, the Rev. George Hickes, and hi
which the unfortunate gentleman lost his life. It sr
pears that the reverend gentleman, who was the curate
of Devonport, had been staying for a short tinge
at Cumberland-house hot wells. Yesterday he.
left home for the purpose of taking 1113
airing on Dardham Down, and while tiler;
accidentally fell from the summit of a rock, named
Lion's Cliff; a depth of several hundred feet, to the vale
below, and was almost instantaneously deprived of life-
Au inquest was held on the body last night, and from
the evidence adduced, it appeared that the deceased we'
28 years of age, and was married, with two children.
He breakfasted with his family as usual yesterdAY
morning, after which he remained in the drawing-I.°m°'
playing with and amusing one of his children, until nearli
twelve o'clock, when he left for the purpose of taking
a walk, stating that he should return to dinner. At he
tween one and two o'clock a man named John Owen'
residing at Ashton-place, happened to bo standing at to"
top of the zig-zsg walk which leads from the hot well;
to the Down, and a boy from the other aide hailed
him, and cried out, " There is a gentleman falling front
the rock." Owen hastened down the rock, and at the
bottom, where there is a shrubbery, he saw a gentle'
man lying flat on his back, but with his face turned to"
wards the water. He was stretched out at full length'
and was bleeding from the nose and ears. Although
having fallen from so great a height, he was not dead,
but lifted up his eyes and left arm. Upon perceiving
these indications of the, Owen ran away for medical
assistance, leaving a young man with the deceased.
Upon his return, however, in a few minutes, amour'
panied by a surgeon, he found that the unfortunate
c•ergyman had breathed his last a minute or two after
he had left him. Upon his pockets being searched, an
address card and an envelope were found, which Jai-
cater' his name and residence, and the melancholy in'
telligence otehis death was immediately conveyed to his
family.
