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 volume 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 will not be 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 rap, &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 lessen its merit as an en-
tertaining collection of anecdotes, having especial
reference to the different Hungarian celebrities.
On the contrary, while we accept all the accounts
furnished by the anecdote-mongers who have contri-
buted to this amusing compilation of Mr. Tyndale's
cum grano soh 's, as we would have every one else
do likewise, we avow at the same time that we
have not failed to derive interest from these pas-
sages. Among the principal characters who figured
during the Hungarian revolution, there wilt be
found, towards the close of Mr. Tyndale's book,
anecdotes and sketches of Giirgey the Traitor-
General, of Bern the Pole 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-
thyanyi, of Pulsky, of Szecheny, of Perczel,
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 here
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
Philosophical 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 beciuse we regard their argument as
possessing a peculiar force of its own upon the isub-
je-ct 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 his at
tention." Altogether, by a singular and unusual com-
bination of good qualities, come 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 hip en-
thusiasm.

COURT CIRCULAR.

The Queen and Prince walked early this morning
in Osborne Park.

Royal Family,

The usual annual dinner of the Duchess of Rent's
London tradesmen, in celebration of her Royal High-
ness's birthday, took place last evening, at the King's

Her Majesty had been most graciously pleased to
send a choice selection of fruit from the royal gardens
at Windsor for the happy occasion, and the Duchess
of Kent had most liberally forwarded a fine fat buck.

evening fur the entertainment of the company. •

North.

Dispatches from the Governor of Canada, and also
from the Governor of the West India Colonies, were

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO BELGIUM.
It is probable that her Majesty, Prince Albert,
and court will embark this evening. The strong
westerly gale blowing last night in the Channel will
most likely have subsided before the morning.
The First Lord of the Admiralty, the Right Hon.
Sir T. F. Baring, Bart., proceeded from the Admi-
ralty yesterday to Osborne ; and in the Adniiralty

toria and Albert, Mr. Biddlecombe, Mr. Macdonald,
master attendant at Woolwich yard, has been ap-
pointed pro tem. for service in .ithe yacht during her
cruise. Mr. Macdonald was formerly master of the
Victoria and Albert. The gallant officer left Wool-
wich on Saturday, and has joined the yacht.
The Black Eagle, Admiralty yacht, Master-Com-
mander Cook, arrived at Portsmouth, from Wool-
wich, yesterday afternoon, having had a most bois-
terous passage from the river. She anchored on
Sunday might, for shelter, under Dungeness.: The
Black Eagle will also proceed to Cowes, to accompany
the royal squadron.
The Vivid, mail-packet steamer, Master-Com-
mender Luke Smithett, arrived at Portsmouth yes-
terday morning, from Dover, and will go to Cowes
early this morning, to accompany the royal yachts.

C. 8., it is said, will not go with the squadron, but she
is ready should her services be required.
Antwerp is now named as the destination of the
Royal yacht squadron, instead of Ostend.

THE DUCHESS OF A SCOTCH PEERESS.-It
may not, perhaps, be known to many of our readers that
this illustrious lady, who passed through our city on Mon-
day, bears, in addition to her other honorary distinctions,
the title of a Scotch Peeress. When asked to put down her
name at the Royal George Hotel, her Royal Highness, with
that condescension and affability that form distinguished
traits of her character, not only cheerfully complied, but
expressed her wish to couple her Scottish title with that by
which she is generally known. It being a title, however,
vhich she is probably seldom in the habit of using, the
name accordingly stands in the book as " Victolia, Duchess
of Kent and Countess of Strathearn."— Perth Con-
stitutional.

MARRIAGE IN HUMBLE LIFE. --A wedding is

marriage Searle,
stands about five feet ten, and is a few years over twenty.
The lady, who is-rather diminutive in stature, standing
about three feet, and the wrong side of fifty, was, many
years since, taken a fancy to by the former. Lady Rolle, at
her death, lett her a substantial mark of her respect, by way
of a legacy, and further requested his Lordship to remember
her at his death. His Lordship kindly fulfilled her Lady-
ship's wish, it appears, as he left her an annuity of 2001. a
year, she having been a confidential servant in the family
nearly thirty years. She has since resided in Exmouth with
her friends, whose extreme kindness towards her, since she
has been in receipt of the annuity, has often been the subject
of remark; and as it is well known that she has allowed
them to share her good fortune, they, it is said, considering
her inexperience, have pointed out that a married life is not
always a
bed of roses. To this, however, she turns a deaf
ear, declaring that she thinks they have their
more than her comfort at heart. The bridegroom, who is
rather musical, has often lately been heard humming over
the words, " When will that happy day arrive, when I shall
call her mine 7"—Plymouth Gazette.
THE LoRD AnvocaTE.—We learn that, in conse-
quence of certain rumours having been afloat during the last
few days to the effect that Lord-Advocate Rutherfurd is
about to be raised to the bench, several meetings have been
held amongst some of the Tnore independent electors of Leith,
at which it has been resolved to invite Admiral Sir Charles
Napier to contest the district, in case of a Vacancy.—Edin-
burgh News.
THE CUBAN PRISONERS.--MOBILE, AUGUST 2.
The steamer Great Western has arrived at this port with
Havanniih dates to the 27th ult. The remaining American
were still confined—their
prisoners fate not- yet being de-
cided on. More depositions are to be used against the
officers. The captured ship, Sarah Load, was advertised by
the Spanish authorities to be sold at public auction.

On Saturday this grand match was resumed, and, as
will be seen by a perusal of the subjoined score, termi-
nated so as to bear out and to justify the degree of con-
fidence and hope with which the'' Gentlemen of Kent"
on Friday entered upon their second innings:—
