10th Hussars-General Order, Horse Guards, Nov. 8, 1845.-At a General Court-martial, held at Leeds on the 1st September, 1845, and continued by adjournment to the 18th of the same month, Lieut. William Augustine Hyder, of the 10th Hus sars, was arraigned upon the undermentioned charge, viz
For conduct unbecoming the character of an officer and gentleman; for that he, the said Lieut. W. A. Hyder, being quartered with his Regt at Ballincollig, did, on or about the 17th October, in the year 1842, at Inchera, near Cork, and with in teut to deceive his Commanding Officer, Colonel Vandeleur, endeavour to prevail on Silvester Oliver, Esq. that no one should, during such two months, get upon the said horse."
Upon which charge the court came to the follow ing decision:-
The court having maturely weighed and con- sidered the evidence in support of the prosecution, together with what the prisoner has urged in his defence (and laying cut of their consideration the letter addressed by Major-General Henry Wyndham to Colonel Vandeleur), is of opinion that he, the prisoner, Lieutenant William Augustine Hyder, of the Tenth Royal Hussars, is Not guity of the charge preferred against him, and does, therefore, acquit him of the samne.
"The court having acquitted the prisoner. Lieut. William Augustine Hyder, of the Tenth Royal Hussars, of the charge perferred against him, cat. The latter ship rolls most fearfully.
not refrain from animadverting in the strongest terms "We stay out another month, and then to Ply of disapprobation on the violent, coarse, and uncal mouth to be laid up for the winter there or at Ports led for language which he, the prisoner, has had mouth; but the fleet should have month and month

The quantity of Bengal Silk was 1772 hales, of which about 500 bales found purchasers.

LEGEND OF Low BR IINGARZ..
THE CASTLE
In all the wide province of Lusvér Hungary, no fairer valley is to be found than that known as the Granthal, which derives its name from the river Gran, one of the tributaries of the mighty Danube Taking its rise in the Carpathian chain, the Gran flows southwards, watering, on its way a district of which the picturesque benty enchants evey beholder. The mountains that bound its val ley on either side, during nearly the whole of the river,s course, although not sufficiently lofty to give a severe character to the landscape, are abun- dantly so to convey the idea of peaceful scclusion, There is nothing narrow or craped in the aspect of the scenery; on the contrary, the plain sprends out broad and spaciona, vark d by hill and forest, enriched with verdant pastures and productive corn-fields, through which the, bright waters of the Gran flow cheerily on in muniföld and fantastic - windings.
On the rising ground, about midway through this valley, there may be seen at the present day the remains of the old castle of Reviatyer, its shat tered walls and crumbling battlements still own. ing, mementos of wars and usages long gone bý, over the blooming country that surrounds L.~~ Dur- ing the prolonged peace that the district in ques- tion has enjoyed, and now that for many genera." tions on sword has been drawn in enmity in that The demand for goods and yarn continues excred tranquil and happy valley, Revistyei, hike other fortresses of its class, has been allowed to ernable facturers are still under contract, and others decline troublous days when Hungary was encompassed a further decline of prices for most artichs in which eastern wolf that was ever striving with claws and
