Batthyani Who, In His Quality Of Prime M...
Batthyani who , in his quality of Prime Minister , outstripped tho admiui-trative limits of Hungary , ¦ w as , it is said , first half strangled , ( there was the mark of a rope round his neck : after death , ) and then taken oat and shot . The butcheries at Pesth must be fresh in the recollection of our readers—Siegmund Perenyi and Messrs . Szaezrray and Csernus were hanged on the Holzplatz .. Baron Perenyi was- second President of the Hunsrarian Upper House ( before March , 1848 , ) and a " Judge of the High Court of Justice . Throughout the revolution he was on the side of M . "Kossuth and his party . He followed the Hungarian party from Pesth to Szegedin , and from Szegedin to Pesth ; and in June 18 i 9 , he was appointed to the office of a Judce Curim . Baron Perenyi was a good lawyer and an excellent speaker . His condemnation and death b y the hands of the common hangman caused a deep and painful
sensation in Hungary . Mi Csernus was a Sheriff , -and M . Szaczvary acted as Clerk to the Lower House- of the Hungarian Parliament . It was be who . drew up tho Declaration of Independence of the Hungarian nation . To enumerate the atrocities sanctioned and approved by Haynau would fill a volume He showed no magnanimity or forbearance , hut gave full loose to the instinct of the butcher , Six women were condemned to seve » r . l * weeks' imprisonment for trying to get rid of some of Kossuth ' s notes , which the whole nation had been guilty ¦ of , and a poor private tutor to two months' imprisomnentfor the same heinous offence . A notary was shot for inviting the militia to rise .. But this is not all ; Baron Auffenber ^ was banged at Ar « d and Count ; Leiningen . shot ; sixteen Hungarian nobles in the same place , seeing no chance of mercy , committed suicide .
GENERALiHAYNAU AT BRESCIA . The following account of General Haynau's conduct at Brescia , is taken from General Pepe ' s narrative : — " On the evening of the 30 th of March , the Germans fortified themselves in their posts ; but the < aty was still almost intact . The ferocious Haynau raged" with impatience , and while expecting the third corps of the army , together with strong reinforcements of artillery , he attempted to storm the city before their arrival . He set fire to the houses outside the city , so that it appeared enveloped in flames . "When the darkness of night was come , the soldiers weref ordered to penetrate over the walls and into the house ? , to set fire to them -eVerywhere without mercy , and to employ the most diabolical and infamous means . The light of the
. fire was -seen almost over all Lombardy . It would be impossible to describe the ferocious acts of the Croats on that last night of Lombard liberty ; the atrocities committed by the most barbarous peeple would be mild in comparison . . The : Brescians then deliberated on the resolution to be taken , and finding that men and ammunition still , -remained sufficient for another day ' s combat , they > determined to defend themselves while hope and - . ¦ ! a single cartridge remained . On the morning of _ . "the 1 st of April , the city resounded with one fierce - , : ory : of ' - ' war , " and the Brescians , protected by i : the barricades , drove the enemy from the posts . -they had occupied in the night in consequence of
the fire ; and from the Bruttanome in particular , they drove them with such impetus , that the first lines were thrown back , and they were on the point of taking two of the enemy ' s cannon . This -was the last victory of the Brescians . Fresh artillery and battalions now arrived to Haynau , who made them instantly enter into battle ; and with such superiority of forces , and such means of devastation , they penetrated into the houses , destroying everything that came in their way . " : The following paragraph , which is literally copied from an authentic pamphlet , I think it due to history to preserve , and recommend to the frequent perusal ofthe Italians , that they may not forget what they owe to Austria : —
The s ^ it ofthe horrible deeds committed by the imperialists , whether in drunkenness or by command , or in consequence of their stupidly ferocious natures , was such asto overwhelm the mind and freeze the blood in men ' s veins : they were beyond the limits of imagination or belief Uot only were they ferocious towards women , children , -and the sick , but the tortures they inflicted were refined in such amanner as to show how much the cruelty of man eiceeds that of the most ferocious animals . Lunbs torn from their - victims were flung from the windows andthe barricades as food for the dogs . The heads of young children cut from their bodies , women ' s arms , and fragments of flesh were thrown into the midst ' of the Brescian troops , to whom bombs then seemed merciful Above all , the imperial cannibals delighted in the horrible convulsions of those whom they burnt to death ; therefore thev covered
the prisoners with pitch , then set them on fire , and often compelled the women to assist at their husbands' martyr dom . ^ Sometimes , to make game of the noble blood of the Brescians , which boiled with magnanimous wrath , they tfehtlr bound the men , and then , before their eyes , they dishonoured and cut the throats of their wives and children ; and sometimes ( God forgive nsif we remember such a horrid fact ) they f- reed thein to swallow the mangled en . trails of their nearest friends . JIany died of anguish , and many fell fainting with horror . The populace , whose fury of vengeance was es-. cited to delirium , resolved to be killed on the -corpses of their enemies , when some one recalled to their recollection that there were many spies unpunished in the prisons . The most ferocious rushed to the prisons and killed them ; these had almost alt ban already condemned to death by the judges as felons * md murderers . The municipality fearing that the peeple , blinded . by ; just rage and grief , should become more cruel , -consented that then * chief should interpose for
. peace . Accompanied by his brother , and preceded oy a certain Marchesini , one of the people , whom the love of his country inspired with the eloquence of a Tribune and the courage of a martyr , tbe father of the municipality used every effort to obtain a mild answer from the marshal ; hot Haynau , silent and implacable , only consented to a suspension . of arms during the conference ; and this species of truce , only on the part of the Brescians , was more fatal to them than many days of battle , since the enemies' troops ceased not to commit numerous assassinations . Finally , after two hours , tbe marshal dismissed the father of the municipality with a "written paper , where , in the midst of harsh words , unsnited to such misfortunes and such bravery , it was stated that the peaceful citizens need fear no hostility . _ The Brescians resigned themselves to their destiny , expecting' to be again treated as enemies and vassals , but not as slaves pardoned , and returned to their yoke .
Almost all the citizens yielded to their cruel fate , except a few who had resolutely determined to die fighting , and the marshal took on himself the task of breaking their cruel obduracy . But the imperial soldiers demanded pillage and carnage ; already they had robbed the houses nearest the walls . More than twenty , battalions , with cavalry and artillery in proportion , were encamped in the Piazza and in the country round . It was necessary to find food for many persons , and the municipality performed miracles in these circumstances , distributing 15 , 000 rations of bread , wine , and forage . In the night a ray of hope shone on the desolate Brescians . The valorous and intrepid Camezzi , with near 800 men , had hastened from Bergamo to aid the . Brescians . They fought desperately , but being informed that they were surrounded by numerous troops , and considering the fatal armistice of iSoysra , these bands were dissolved in the midst of universal grief .
Let the reader imagine the murders , the burning , the pillage ,, the violence of these frantic soldiers . . Neitherr generals nor officers showed themselves anxious for their honour and humanity . Colonel Jellacbich , brother of the celebrated Ban , was an exception . Seeing the Church of St . Affra menaced , ¦ where many women had taken refuge , he hastened to guard the entrance , and remained there till his men bad departed . Some few officers who had lodged in Brescia endeavoured to preserve the houses of their hosts from pillage . But the ferocious Haynau clearly showed that his mind was turned to ' vengeance rather than to the government of a brave and unfortunate people . It is believed that more than a hundred among tbe best and most intrepid of the citizens were in a few . hours dragged to the
castle , bastinadoed , tortured , and finally shot ; A fine of 7 , 000 , 000 of livres was imposed on the provinces , and on the city a special charge of 300 , 000 livres , as a reward for his officers . - The" command ofthe city was given to Lteut .-Oeneral Appel , who speedily , demanded with threats that the heads of the insurrection should be given op to him . Slaughter was now organised . Women and children ,- the aged and the helpless , were first horribly massacred . We will detail a few facts to illustrate the wickedness of the conquerors . The priest Gabetti , a schoolmaster , trusting in the terms of the surrender , went outside the walls to visit his
cottage , which had been set fire to on the preceding night , and in which his mother lived ; but scarcely had he gone " out , when he was seized and conducted - -to Haynau in the castle , where on the following day - he was shot as a patriot priest . r A more horrible martyrdom closed the life of -Retro Tenturini , a member of the legal profession , ' : and-popular among the- Brescians : weighed down -by years and by gout , be was pressed with threats :: to swear fidelity to the imperial banners ; he boldly ^ threw himself on the bayonet pointed to his heart , . and ; cursed the enemies of Italy , and lovingly salutr - ing his country and liberty , he sought and obtained o death .
: ; Some iniquitous Croats laid then * hands on a poor t workman , and deliberated on burning him for their (• amusement ; as he was small and deformed , they - supposed he could make but little resistance , and ; would perhaps die in more laughable convulsions . . Carlo Zima possessed the strength of a plebeian : - when in the flames , he seized on one of his execu-- tinners , antTheid him so firmly that they burned and ; died together . ' ¦ ' ¦ , ' - ' ¦' The damage done by war and fire was computed -at twelve millions . The conquerors , not content ¦ w ith fines , pillage , the losses by fire , and other war taxes , amounting to seven millions and a half , in-- suited the : ipunicipality by ^ ending them the bills - for provisions and powder , demanding that the city -should pay . these expenses . Moreover , they ordered - them to collect money for the erection of a triurn-; phal monument , on the Piazza , to the soldiers who

had fallen before Brescia . We shall one day see that all Italy will erect a worthy funeral » 0 M » m $ nt to the memory of Austria . :. ;; - ¦; < ,-. ; - ; .-. The people did not reproach their chiefs with the fatal issue of the insurrection , though the destruc ? tion of their houses and the death of their companions was before their eyes ; at the risk of their lives , they placed the most noted authors of the in surrection in safety out of the city . Haynau and AppeV however vigilant , had only laid hands on those who . had taken no part in leading the revolt .- This may , perhaps have induced the two lieutenant-marshals to institute , in July , the infamous process against twelve of the populace ; when all Italy was prostrate , and four months had elapsed for the first fury of vengeance to be appeased . They were sentenced to die the death of thieves , and twelve gallows were expressly erected on the bulwarks of the city , where they were executed .
THE PERFIDY OP HAYNAU . After Haynau had captured and caged the unfor tunate Hungarian generals who surrendered at Arad , he suspended all immediate executions , and hastened off to Comorn , to secure the surrender of that fortress , before he gave vent to his thirst for blood ; It was immediately communicated to the governor and the garrison of Comorn that their surrender would appease the Emperor and his general , who , on getting peaceable possessionof the fortress , would pardon the Hungarian generals and those who had surrendered after the example of Georgey . What chiefly prevented the garrison of Comorn " from continuingtheir resistance was , the belief that by so doing they would exasperate or reawaken the vengeance of the Austrians toward their captives . As to Haynau , he personally assumed the blandest aspect , and looked mercy itself . "On the 3 rd of October , " writes Klapka , "II
met General Haynau accidentally on the tete depont on the Danube . He had just come from Atsh to examine the works and entrenchments in and around Comorn . We conversed for a long time , but our conversation turned solely on the strength and the natural advantages of tbe fortress , and on the battles of the 2 nd and 11 th July . What he said bore the expression . of so much humanity , that I was tempted to discover in his features a desire for reconciliation with the conquered country ; No thoughts of revenge seemed to lurk upon his brow . And yet it was he who , showing in this instance and in the course of his negotiation with Our commis-i sioner , a most hypocritical sympathy and affection for Hungary , so far belied his assertion that , but a few days later , he concurred with his emperor in banging and butchering the noblest men of the nation , as if they were so many thieves and incendiasies . "
Total Loss Of The Indian Indiaman.— Shoc...
TOTAL LOSS OF THE INDIAN INDIAMAN . — SHOCKING SUFFERINGS OF THE SURVIVORS . We announced in our last edition oflast week the loss of this Indiaman , 500 tons burden , en her outward voyage from England to Bombay , on a reef of rocks , named the Cargados Garayos or Narerett Bank , with melancholy loss of life . The annexed narrative is from a gentleman who was a passenger onboard the ill-fated vessel : —" Nothing of any note occurred until the night ofthe 6 th of April last , when , at eight o ' clock , the captain informed us that , if his reckoning was correct , we should either be clear of , or very nearly upon , the Cargados reef . Being rather taken aback at the cool way in which be expressed himself , I ran forward
to the forecastle , followed by the captain and one of the passengers . Twenty minutes had not elapsed before I distinctly saw breakers ahead , which I immediately pointed out to tbe captain , who turned to one of the seamen standing near him at the time ( named Peter Martin ) , and asked him if he thought they were breakers ? He replied , " Yes , they are , " at the same moment the look-out man on the foreyard sang out , "breakers ahead . " We were then going six knots , with tbe starboard tacks about two points , free wind east , steering north . The captain ordered the helm to be put up , and the ship fell off to the west north-west , and In far less time than it has taken me to write she struck—at
first slightly , then went on with a fearful crash , starting every timber in her , pieces of wreck floating up all around us . We saw in a moment all hopes to save the vessel wera at an end , as she heeled over to seaward suddenly , the sea making a clear breach over her every roller . This was the work of a few minutes only . Three parts of the crew were by this time on their knees , crying , and making the most frantic appeals to heaven for aid . All order and discipline were . now at an end . The carpenter and two seamen attempted to cut away the masts , but owing , I suppose , to the excitement of the moment , they cut away the weather rigging only ; the masts of course went by the board , but being still attached to the vessel by the lee rigging , and falling , over to seaward , they
served as a battering ram , beating the . vessel to * pieces every successive roller . After the first burst of excitement was over , a simultaneous rush was made for the boats , but we found the only one that was available was the starboard-quarter , boat , the other two had been stove to pieces by the wreck . The captain was not slow in taking to our only apparent chance of escape , the remaining : boat , eight of the seamen speedil y following him ; and as h ' e was going over the side I reminded him that he ought tobe the last person to leave the vessel , instead of which he was evidently desirous to be tjtie first . They shoved off , and pulled back once or twice near the vessel , asking for water : and bread , which of course was out of our power , and : much more out of our inclination to supply them with .
He then pulled away altogether , which was the last we saw of him . The ship by this time was breaking up fast ; the stern , frame burst out , ; and was thrown up on . the starboard quarter , and in . 'a few minutes afterwards she parted amidships ,: leaving thirteen persons exposed to the fury of the surf on the fore part of the starboard side , where we remained till the morning broke . The tide turned about this time from ebb to flood , when the rollers came in with redoubled violence and dashed the remainder of the wreck to pieces . All , were ; immediately bufTettiug with the waves , and sharks innumerable surrounded us on all sides , which very much increased the terrors of our situation . Owing to rhy being burled on the rocks bythe surf , two or three times I lost my senses , and was perfectly
nnconscious as to what had occurred till I found myself resting on a spar with a sailor . I found the ship had gone to pieces , and five of our comrades had perished . Water surrounded ns in every direction , with nothing in view but one or two small saad banks , and those a long distance off . - By night we had constructed a rude kind of raft , on which we slept , but as the tide ebbed we . grounded , and with the exception of our heads we were literally , sleeping in the water , cold and wretched , but still ( comparatively speaking ) safe . We remained on the raft in this state two days and sights , the sun scorching us by day , and the wind , owing to our being wet , making us dreadfully cold at night . On Sunday , the third day , having found a small quantity ot oatmeal , we determined to start for the nearest
sandbank . A sixty gallon cask of beer , two six-dozen cases of wine , a piece of bad pork , and the oatmeal were the only things saved from the wreck ; We had only eaten once , and then but sparingly . Here we lived fourteen days and nights ,. subsisting , on sharks' flesh and the wine and beer we saved . Not a drop of water was to be had . On the 20 th of April we saw a vessel to the leeward of us , and endeavoured to attract her attention by means of a boat hook and a shirt attached , but she did . not , or would not , see iis . ' The next day , about one hour before sun-set , another vessel hove in sight , and ' in about the same spot as the ship of the previous
evening " was seen . We again hoisted our signal , and walked about the bank to show there were living creatures on it . We thought she did not see us , and , after taking an allowance of oatmeal and sharks' flesh , we laid down for the night ' s rest . In a short time , however , -we were alarmed by the barking of our dog , and on getting on our legs , discovered , to Our delight , a boat close in for the sands . She belonged to the vessel wo had seen in the . evening . The mate and one of the passengers went on I board that night , and the rest of the survivors were taken off the next moraine , when , we were conveyed safely to the Mauritius . " The ship , and cargo were nsured for £ 25 , 000 . ' '

Ikfidkuit and Fanaticism . — -The Gateshead Observer , in an article on these subjects , gives " the following placard as one that has been exhibited and circulated in Sunderland during the past week : — " Excursion to Hell I —( Do not smile . —Be serious . ) —Under the special patronage of The God of this World , ' alias' The Devil , ' a cheap train will start every day in the week , and a * monster train' on Sundays , from the .

Potter's shop . She told her husband , who immediately raised a cry of " Stop thief , " and ran after the prisoner , who dropped the coat and ran ; towards the ; Adelphi , where he was captured by , a , constable who continued the pursuit . —Mr . George'Davies , and the officer who took the prisoner into custody , corroborated the evidence of the preceding witness ; and the prisoner , who . declined saying anything in his defence , was committed for trial .

He had been repeatedly convicted by the magistrates at Bbw-street ' . as , Mary Ann Page ; having always ' wore female apparel until about twelve months ago . He was treated as a woman in tho neighbourhood ; but during his last confinement 'in Tbthill-fields Prison hb was provided with man ' s clothing , by order of the governor and medical officers . —Mr ; 'Henry said it was quite clear that the prisoner bore a very bad character , and inflicted a penalty of £ 5 , or two months' bard labour . The prisoner was committed , in default . -
"Threatening the Life of a FATHER . ^ -Chantrey , W . Deverell , under twenty years of age , was charged with threatening the life of his father , who holds a situation in the School of Design at'Somerset-house . —The disobedience and heartless misconduct of the defendant were sufficiently proved by the evidence of the father , and a servant of the family ; while his vindictive behaviour in . tho presence , of the magistrate afforded abundant confirmation of the charge . —Mr . Henry lectured the defendant without making any visible impression upon his mind , and then ordered him to keep the peace for four months . In default of the requisite sureties ( two ; in £ 50 each ) he was committed to prison for that period . '• ¦]¦'; , ' . '
A well-dressed youth , named James Patrick , was charged before Mr . Henry with stealing a large quantity of parliamentary reports belonging to his master , Mr . John Wilkes , a bookseller , of lfy Craven-street , Strand ;—It appeared that the prosecutor was induced to employ the prisoner some time sines as his assistant , having received an excellent character with him for honesty . During the last few days Mr . Wilkes missed from his premises several hundred weight of parliamentary reports , which had been tied up in bundles of twenty-five pounds , to be sold as waste paper . On Friday he missed some more reports , and ho then questioned the prisoner respecting them , who denied all knowledge of them . He locked up the premises , but
afterwards admitted that he bad left the shop at various times in the charge of a boy . The prose * cutor considered the prisoner ' s conduct reprehensible in doing so , and discharged him . Subsequently Mr . -Wilkes was informed that the prisoner had sold a bundle of parliamentary reports to Messrs , Gilson and Brown , fishmongers , of J Hungerford-market , for waste paper , and that he attempted , to sell another bundle on the following day at the- same place . Mr . Brown detained the last buudle , and told the prisoner he would not pay him for them until' he had made inquiries about him . The prisoner said his name was Williams , and' that he was a clerk to Mr . Williams , a solicitor / , of Cravenstreet , Straudi and that'his master * liad ' sent him to
sell the reports . No such person as Mr . Williams was found to live in Craven-streety . and" the . prosecutor afterwards identified tKe reports as his property . —Mr . Henry asked Mr .- Wilkes if he always sold the reports for waste paper ? Mr Wilkes said it was invariably the practice to sell them for waste paper . He bought them of , gentleman ' s servants , and sometimes from the members Of Parliament . Ho sold large quantities for waste paper . —The prisoner denied that the last ;; bundle of parliamentary reports belonged to his master . He purchased them of a man who came to : the shop for 2 d . per pound ,: for the purpose of making a penny on each pound for himself . Mr ; Henry committedthe prisoner-for trial .
: Assaulting a Toll Collector . — Adam Smithwho described himself as a freeholder in four counties in England , keeping his carriage , and residing in Camden Cottages , Camden-town , was placed at the bar before Mr . Henry , charged with assaulting , John ; Bradshaw ; toll- collector at- the northern end of Waterloo-bridge . —' ¦ John Bradshaw , toll coir lector , said that on Tuesday evening , about a quarter past six ; the prisoner , who was going-towards the Surrey' side of the bridge , * came up and attempted to pass through the carriage' gate . The witness told him he could not do so , but must pass through the revolving gate at the side ; for foot passengers . " ¦ He refused to do so , and attempted to force his . way through , and as'the ' withess resisted ,
he struck him a violent blow on tho side , at the same time saying that he-would eat a better man in . the morning to his breakfast . A policeman , and a man at the opposite gate , came to his assistance , and the prisoner was given into custody . —Charles Vaughan , labourer , said he was at the gate at the time ^ when the prisoner endeavoured to force bis way , through , ; and upon the toll collector resisting , he struck him a blow . —Police constable 48 F gave similar evidence , and added , that when ho was conveying the prisoner to . the station-bouse he resisted very much . —The prisoner who made a' long statement in answer to the charge , Said he was going to an excursion train of the : S 6 uth-Western Railway Company , which was'to start in a few minutes ., and as he was in ; a hurry ho tendered the collector a
halfpenny ; intending to pass through the carriage ; gate , which was openr As tho : man resisted , he endeavoured to-force his way through , but he did hot strike him . If the magistrate would let him off he pledged : himself to bring an action against the company , beoause : he was convinced they had no right to : pre vent a gentleman from passing by the gate most convenient to him . ¦ The policeman had treated him with the greatest ruffianism , and would not let any person into the station to give evidence in . his favour . —Mr . '( Henry , told ; the prisoner ihat the act of Parliament authorised the c ' ompamy to make regulations for the management of the bridge , and as he had infringed those regulations , and assaulted , the . collector fallen he was enforcing them , he should fine him in the full penalty ' of ' , £ 5 ;* -The . fine was immediately paid . :: .

the finding of the check-book was a material point in the evidence at present against the prisoner .. He thought the casei began to assume a ibdre serious form , as far as the prisoner was concerned / than it had before The destruction of the alleged forgeries had made it doubtful whether any charge could be effectually .

The instant ; she had , gone out for that purpose the defendant abruptly invited her to place herself upon his knee , stating that hewas an old married man , and that she bad nothing to fear from him , Witness indignantly rejected the overture , upon which the . defendant knelt down before her and kissed her several times , and at the same time pressed her knees down upon the chair and insisted that she ' should . return , the salute ; She used her best efforts to extricate herself from his grasp ,, but the defendant held her so firmly that she could not , declaring that he would release her at once if she . complied with his request , and , feeling greatly alarmed and agitated , she , was compelled to do so to escape from further violence . The defendant
then released her ,, and , hearing the servant at the door , she , hastened to adinit her , when the defendant ,., after eatingthe provisions she : had purchased , arid , pressing the witness' to partake , of them , which she declined ,, ^ desired her to send the girl out'again for some cheese and pickles .

Factors held foreign wheat for an advance , which checked business , . and the few sales made were quite in retail at the extreme prices
of Monday last . There has been a large , business done in floating cargoes of wheat and Indian .. corn within , the last lew days , aud in some instances a slight advance vras realised . ' Barley has met a fair sale at an improvement of about Is per qr . Beans and peas brought rather higher prices . The supply of oats last week was from : the ports of Riga , Petersburg , ; aud Archangel . This description coul . l not be sold , except at the reduction of <> d ' per qri , to which factors would not submit , in consequence of which very little business passed . Other sorts have met a steady sale , and in some instances rather more money was obtained . ¦ <
