GREAT HUNGARIAN VICTORY.

GREAT HUNGARIAN VICTORY.
New YORK, Sept. 4,h.
The Ste amship Washington has arrived,
and we have two DAYS later intelligence
than received by the last regular steamer
from Hungary.
The Russians under Ludiz are said 10
have been completely defeated by an in
ferior force Of the gallant Magyars. The
survivors were hunted into Wallachia.
4 bulletin from Demtenski. dated
Gvongyas. July 28th. speaks Of the end
great victory he has gained over the Rus
slams follows:
After having attacked them by surprise
on the 23d, the Russians did not take a
stand. Many Of the officers fled in their
shirts, and others were Gu. down or taken
prisoners. Two Regiments of Russian
Cuirassiers were nearly annihiated. In
the morning the Russians rallied and
fought desperately, but brilliant Cavalry
attack decided the contest. The Rus.
SLAMS left 1900 dead on the field, with
eighteen cannon, besides two thousand
prisoners.
The following Russian Intelligence is
given. and if they confess this much what
must the result be:
On the Esd Of July the Rifles were at
tackled in the pass of %. J. Lush by the
Maeyars, and forced TO retreat. They
were reinforced with four pieces Of artil-
'ery. but they were forced to retreat after
three hours hard fighting. in which they
lost in killed and wounded, four officers
and 100 privates. The Magyars passed
through the pass.
Vienna IS now garrisoned by only few
new levies. and when the post left, Pres
burgh had been occupied by the Hungar-
ians. Vienna letters confirm the report oil
the occupation Of Raab by the Hungar.

EXrRAOR RoBBERY.--An Eng

had heard REQUIRED to his recollection: but
the man passed on. and in shor! time
was gone. Then the good wine ca,ne
into play: he rushed back. seized the ras-
cal. and vehcmently demanded ''Montre!
montre.' The robber trcmbled. and re-
luctan;ly yielded up the watch. On
reaching home, he rccounted, with no
little exul,ation, his heroic exploit, and
vowed that if the rest of the world would
do as he had done, robbery would cease
in Rome in "a fortnight. When he had
finished his Grafton. his sister said, ".ill

THE BILL OF EXCHANGE.

The following incident is such an one
as will call forth the admiration of all. J,
occurred in New York, and the gentle
man who appears to SO much advantage
in it, is well known in Wall street.
Mr. w is an Englishman and Qua
iser lie has realized fortune in busi-
ness. and has now retired, spending year
" his whole income in benevolent objects;
and his merit is not lessened by the quiet
and unobtrusiye manner in which he at-
fects his purpose. Some years since a
young gentleman came out from England
TO New York for the purpose OF going IN.
10 the same line Of business in which Mr..
w. then was. The young E.nS!I,hman
brought letters Of introduction to Mr.. W =,
who Immediately gave him all the asss.
lance and counsel he needed to render
his success III business sure After he
had been in business some time. the
young gentleman, who was Quaker
also. had to realit funds to the amount OF
900 or So, 900 TO England. and seeing
a bill Of exchange for about the sum adj
yertised. he went to Mr.. w. and asked
him if it were good. lie told him at once
it was so. and the young merchant pur-
chased it and sen: it TO England. But
when it arrived there it was not accepted.
and the loss fell of course upon the
Young merchant.
Some time afterwards, Mr. w. acct
dentally learned the facts Of the case, and
went to his young friends store.
"Gcorge." said he, ibid not thee buy
bill Of jeremiah some time since!"
'.les sir
.Was the bill accepted"
mo sir"
George, did thee buy that bill at my
recommendation
IL asked thee about it,
"lV Guild thee have bought it, had not
told thee il was goodH'
No don't think | should
"Well, George, want thee to give me
that BILL
The young man gave him the bill. lie
went to his own store, calculated the
amount Of exchange at the time when the
bill was drawn. added the interest up to
date. and drew his check for the whole "a
mount which he then sent to the young
Friends store The bill remains 10 this
day unsa,isfied by the drawer Occa-
sional Instances OF this kind. and an un-
varying practice OF truly Christian virtues
have placed the society OF Friends among
our most respected citizens.

DoN'r STAND UPoN TIE TRACK Have
YOU ever stood. my friend. upon Rail
road track and watched the cars as they
approached! How stealthily and cat Ike
they creep upon you. until in a moment
they are gone. To one standing at some
d'"t""ea they present different anpnar-
ance. He is aware OF their rapid motion
and is amazed at the foolnardiness which
fingers in their path. Upon philosophical
principles this is easily explained. In
the former position. the cars move in the
direct line of vision. and the chief notice
which the eye takes of their approach. is
from the slow increase of the angle which
they subtend. In the latter position, the
train moves across the line of vision. and
in addition TO the very rapid increase OF
the angle which it suhtends. the eve
marks also the frigh,ful speed with which
il passes objects both intervening and be-
yond. The inexperienced. nay. the prac-
lised eve therefore often mis- Judges Of the

we can give you in the matter is. ..Never
