CITY AFFAIR ..

GAME TO THE LAsT.-What remarkable people the
Hungarians ae to be sure From their earliest history
down to the present day, the sern unconquerabe will
never to submit has been leading characteristic of the
race. Whilst nearly all other nations have declined,
degenerated and submitted to individual and national
servitude the nea descendants OF the Huns appear at
this day as bold and fearless as their f1efathers of
whom 1t has been said, grass never grew under their
footsteps" The same dauntless bravery-the same
wild spirit OF adventure which actuaed their oreathers
whilst exploring the hyperborean regions of northern
Asia, or roaming the vast plains of that continent
whilst threading the dense forests of Germany or uxu
rating in the sunny cline OF Italy, the period in the
history OF the Roman world, when the puny Caesars
welded the sceptre of the great Tfajan-aetuaes the
descendants ofthe Huns now Does the reader require

the Hungaans, shed freely in their late glorious but
unfortunate stand for Liberty. Is farther proof want

Saturday last (which officer Warrington and genu.
inc Hungarian figured.
About the quiet hour of noon, on Saturday last, as
officer Warrington proceeding down 9th street, he
discovered white man lying on the walk, about
midway between Main and Franklin streets The Of
hcer, as in duty bound approached the subject and
closely scanned him. After satisfying himself that the
man only drunk he proceeded to administer divers
humps about the short ribs his subject the purpose
OF arousing him. A deep cultural murmur was the
only response to the applications OF the officers
bludgeon He discovered however with whom he had
to deal. 1t was none other than Hungarian who re-
Joices in the rather euphonous title of Reeslng and
who had been staggering about the city for weeks
past, apparently in the full enjoyment Of the largest
liberty. Last week he drank TO excess, committed an
outrage, and fell into the hands of the police. Upon
being introduced to his Honour the Mayor he ad-
dressed that worthy gentleman in the Sclavonic dialect
greatly to the delight and edifcation OF numberless
learned Thebans who practice law in the Mayors Court.
After undergoing confinement for few days, he was
discharged But to return 10 officer harrington Find
ing it impossible to Keesng, after mature re-
Election, he determined to procure cart Like deter
mined man, he is the officer started off to carry into
effect his determination But he had scarcely walked
few paces before he wheeled around to see that all was
right, when 10 the Hungarian was on his feet The
officer instantly made magical cross on the pavement
with his stick, wheeled, and advanced towards KEGS
ling, whom he sauted in the kiades manner approach
ed and offered his Keesng suffered the officer 10
conduct him into Main street and down that street to
the corner Of 9h when the thought crossed his udded
brain that possibly he might be in custody He
now plainly gave the officer to understand that he
would go no farther in his company After ex-
postulating with him in way which would have
struck terror to hesoul OF any else saving Bar
baran, or the descendant Of Barbarian the officer dis
covered that nothing short of coercyseasures would
answer. Then came the tug of war Greek met Greek
on that occasion. But officer Warrington literally CO.

unexpectedly pitched into the officer, and came near
causing him to bite the dust As to running, why so
base thought never entered the officers head. He
squared himself and returned the Hungarans blow with
interest. Being armed with his trusy bludgeon, the
officer proved more than a match for the drunken
Hun. A well directed blow decided the victory The
Hungarian fell at the feet OF the victor! After allow
ing him time to digest that DOSE the officer assisted him
to rise, and compelled him to accompany him towards
the cage. When he reached the Trough and Ready
Hotel, the officer found that his famous "bout" had at
tracted the special admiration Of quite myriad of boys
who beset his PATH in the vain hope OF witnessing
more sport of the same sort. He resorted to
statagem, VIII ich must forever settle all contention
to the address of the officer the stern determination
of the man, when "hes sure he s right" The strata
gem practised by officer on this occas on, could not
have suggested itself to mipd hence we have
beautiful example of the beneficial results flowing
from the appointment of men of mental resources to
public offices. The stratagem ruse, totally dsap
pointed-nipped in the bud as were the hopes of the
boys; whilst at the time the prisoners safety was
efectualy secured The officer halted with his priso-
ner at the of the Rough and Ready Hotel-in-
dulged in brown study or shrewd calculation of the
chances OF getting him safely to the cage, beset by
troups of newly urchns cart passed at the
moment-the officer halls it; and with the assistance of
the driver, snugy placed Keeslng in it, and had the
tstaction to off for the cage with its load Of
humanity amidst the shouts of the boys and the admi-
ration of numerous spectators Long life to officer
Warrington! May his shadow never be less!
The above sketch, prepared some DAYS SINCE has
yielded place to more important matter. Yesterday

To the Editors of the Richmond Times:
GENTLEMEN A few days ago learned through the
city papers, that certain Keesng, who pretended to

Jail for disordery conduct. consider it, therefore, as
duty my native country and to all those honorable
exiles to request you to confer them favor, and to
make known through your paper, that said Keesling is
not Hungarian, but nothing than OF those low ad
yenturers, who would take advantage Of the we'll
known benevolence OF the American people, and excite
their sympathes by false pre,enses Keesing was ac-
cidentaly introduced to me- and soon discovered that
the said mpostorw no Hungarian by BIRTH nor has he
ever been in Hungary or in the Hungarian service
All the refugees who arrived here from Comorn, are
