ibat his officers, .with shameless pecu

their support,’ from the proper objects;
and during-their three months detention
at Shumla,* the sufferings of the Count
and Countess were terrible, both from
privation and . the inclemency of the
weather. At first they were placed in a
large hall, pierced in every part, with
unglazed windows; but the intense
cold soon drove them toiake refuge in
a mere hut of the smallest size, through
which thc rair|,and snow penetrated^ at

the promise of smployment in -the Ot

abjure the faith of Christ, which be

young Countess at length gave way
under her sufferings,, and .she was pre
vailed. upon to accompany tg Constanti
nople an old German lady, who had pre
viously made the most noble exertions
in behalf of the Hungarian exiles.- At

kindly received by John P. Brown,
Esq., Dragoman, acting as Charge
d’Aflaires at that timefor the * United

A'man who had recently become a

night.in an intermediate state of boosi-
ness; that is to say, be was comforla-

his unfortunate . situation. Knowing
that bis wife, was asleep, he decided to
attempt gaining his bed. without dis-
lufbihg her, and by sleeping of! his'ine-
briatioti, conceal the fact' from her alto
gether. He reached the door of hi a
room without creating 1 much disturb
ance, and after ruminating a lew‘mo
ments on the matter, be thought if he
could reach the bedstead, and hold mr
to it while he slipped out of his apparel,
the remainder of the feat would be'lea-^
fly accomplished. Unfortunately for
his scheme, a cradle stood in a direct
line * with the bedpost about the middle

kept away the evit spirits, to which, in

quadrupled by the tendency of the iron

the ball itself is also likely to split and

A Remarkable Frenjc of a Maniac is
noticed by the Trenton True American
as occurring at Bordentown yesterday
morning. The locomotive, which-was
to bring the morning train from Borden
town to Treiiton Was missed, and tfib -
engineer procured another—when they
reached Trenton they discovered the
missing one fast in \lie switches, blow
ing off steam at great rate;
When they Came lo ittheyfouriil a ’

water anti cinders splashing’ofer^hkn
and the engine. It seetns that a crazy
hailing from New Hope; Pa., had
come here from Bordentown on; Mom-
day evening, and retUrqd in the same
train. Some time during the nighT? or
early iir the morning; this madman had
gone to the engine, kindled a fire, put
on one of the pumps, which bad been
taken off, and not finding the oil bad
melted tallow, with which lie-greased
all the apparatus, and, puuingon steam,
came up to this city likeastreakof
*• greased-lightning/' The engine had
been managed very well. as il wasnotat
all injured; but it is supposed he did not
know bow to baph it when it git in the
switches here, which were locked., ..We
understand he most, have passed one or
two switches before reaching.this sta
