A VOICE FROM AN AUSTRIAN PRISON

The following narrative has been written by Cap-
tain Szarrnary, one of the three persons whose
escape from the Austrian prison of Josephstadt, in
_Bohemia, we (Daily News) lately reported :
"I was thrown into prison chiefly on account of
some inconsiderate speeches, with reference to poli-
tics, which I had uttered against my denouncers—l
may say, against my caluumia ors—both of whom,
although by their speeches in reply to me they had
compromised themselves in that matter more than I
had done, have nevertheless remained secure and at
berty ; and after having undergone a confinement
of fourteen months whilst awaiting the result of
the examination, I was sentenced to twenty years'
further imprisonment in irons, which was imposed
upon me notwithstanding the fact, well known to
those who passed the sentence, of my suffering from

gout.
" In spite of the general amnesty which was pro-
claimed, I remained with four other prisoners in the
dungeon ; and since neither I, myself, nor Dr.
Schutte and (late lieutenant) Herr Wimpeller, who
were of our number, could endure the additional
pain of this disappointment, we conceived the de-
sign of bestowing an amnesty upon ourselves ; to
which resolution I was the more impelled by a
motive of self-preservation, mainly suggested to me
by the excruciating pains of my gout, aggravated
as they were by the pressure of the irons which I
wore. This project, by the manifest favour of
kind Heaven, we were enabled to execute.
" The two prisoners left behind are, first, Herr
Kofler (late Lieutenant Kofler), who at the out-
break of the revolution, being then in his early
youth, was taken prisoner in the first conflict at
which he was present, and now remains a prisoner
still ; second, Herr Forgarasy, from Siebenburgen,
whose father and mother had been murdered by the
Wallachians, stirred up against them, and his bro-
ther, who yet survives, had both his feet cut off by
them, before he took up arms. In one of the fights
at which he was present, the village where he lived,
together with all his own property, was destroyed
by the flames. Notwithstanding this, he was ac-
cused of being the author of the conflagration, and.
for that reason imprisoned. This arrest took place
exactly at the moment of his young wife's first de-
livery. He begged to be allowed to stay with her
at least until this event should be passed, since the
grief she must feel would cost her else her life.
This petition was in vain. When she was brought
almost to the verge of her grave, petitionswere sent
to the Auditor by Forgarasy's friends, entreating
that the husband and wife might be permitted to see
each other once again ; but still the prayer was de-
nied, even though a person of distinction went so
far as to fall at the Auditor's feet and beg him to
grant the unfortunate pair one hat interview ; his
reply was, that 'he had to deal with men, and not
with women. That child, which has scarcely ever
been looked on by its father, is still alive. How
long must he continue yet to pine before he looks
upon his child again ?

Advices from Kurrachee contain very favourable ac-
counts of the capacity of that port to receive vessels of
large tonnage. It is believed that at high tide there is
always a depth of 2G feet. Returns have also been pnb-
lAed showing the increase of trade at this important
place, which, in addition to receiving all the traffic of
' Scinde, is likely to become a chief route to the whole of
the North-Western provinces of India. Ten years back
its exports were 154,7301., and last year theyarvitiecree
734,5221.. Wool has become a most prominenthi d in thel
