A writer in the North American a- wards that credit to David S. Brown of Philadelphia. Mr. Brown ii one of the most enterprising and successful merchants in this country, always ready and willing to lend a helping hand to every important improvement. The cotton Factories at Gloucester Point, probably own their origin more to him than to any other man. He is also among the heaviest stockholders oi the Philadelphia and Pittsburg rail road, and we have heard him express a deep interest for the completion of another important work one that we have always deemed ol more importance than the Pittsburg road the Sunbury and Erie Rail Road. The following is an extract from the article re ferred to the North American: "Many years since Mr. Brown wrote to his agent in China, tiot the American Consul, to procure for him the Nankin Cotton Seed, as he was desirous to furnish it to the lute Air Forsvth. The uzent. after much dilliculty. succeeded in procuring it, which wos done throuch the exertions of a Nankin trader who annually visited Canton, tind who brought the very small parcel he could venture to smuggle, secreted among wearing apparei as he would have been subjected to punish ment if detected in carrying cotton seed of the peculiar kind which produces the iankin i t- . , e i : colors. ro jtmious are xne pupie ui liuiiiwii; tnai incy win not permit a parucie oi win seed to be taken into the adjoining provin ces: but immediately on nntherinrf the crop, destroy the germinating quality of all seed not reserved for seeding the next crop, and spin and weave the cotton at home.

On its receipt Mr. Brown sent it to the lute Mr. Porsylli. who succeeded in raining it, and added another to the many valuable products of our country.

Bern announced his victory to Kossuth these three words: "Bern, Ban, Boun." j In a later despatch he says: "Our army requires now to conquer only two Generals more, Julius aud Augustus." Letters from Cracow, of the 23d of June, elate that a number of Russian troops, who were on the point of leaving the above city for Hungary, had received counter orders. Seventy railway wagons had arrived re cently in Cracow, filled with wounded Rus ians. Later ! A Postscript in the Liverpool Courier of the 4th says : The accounts from Hungary through Tarisi Vienna and Cologne, announces another bat tle in. Hungary, and another victory for the Hungarians at Eylu. It appears the troops of Dembinski and Paskiewitch came to an engagement, which ended in the defeat of the Russians. Paskiewitch is cut off from his line of operations, and Dembinski, Bern and Georgey are in communication. " Hayivau is described as in a most perilous situation. The Magyar Generals are masters of the whole line from Waag to Assoba, facilitating their communications with Belgrade and the Turkish provinces. The Cabinet of Vienna are obviously in a tate of alarm. A peremptory order has been issued, prohibiting the purchase of foreign lock, shares, kc. The object being, it is supposed, to prevent money being sent out of the country. On the 15th of July, a desperate battle was fought at Wait.en, between the Russian commander Paskiewitch, and the Hungari ans, under Georgey, in which the former was defeated. The army of Georgey has broke through the lines and marched north, thus effecting a junction with the main army. A letter from the seat of war, says the at tack of the Hungarians upon Paskiewitrh's division, was tremendous, and the Russians were bome down and compelled to yield be fore the terrible onslaught of the. Magyars. who fought with unexampled courage and daring. Another letter describes the Russian re treat to Danakess as a disorderly flight before Dembinski's hussars, and states that the Rus siaus were only saved from annihilation by the arrival of Ramberg. It wus admitted in Vienna on the 20th that the victory at Wait ten had been complete. There has been a change in the Austrian Ministry.

A large and enthusiastic meeting was held at Independence square in Philadel phia on Monday last, to express the sympa. thy of our people in favor of the gallant and oppressed Hungarians, who are now fight. ing for their liberties against Austria, aided by the Russian despot Nicholas. The meet ing was organized by the appointment of the Hon. Geo. M. Dallas, President. Spirited resolutions offered by Dr. T. D. English were adopted, and an eloquent address was read by John W . t orney, Lsq. The meet imr strongly urged the recognition of Hun gary by our govprnmer.t. We trust Gen 1 aylor's Cabinet will promptly carry into effect, what appears to be the unanimous wish of the whole nation. If there ever was a sincere prayer by any nation, it is that of our people in favor of the gallant spirits now struggling lor freedom under the patriot Kossuth, and his gallant generals Bern, Gorgey and Dembinski. Correspondence of tin Newark Advertiser.) THE HUNGARIAN CJENKRAX.8. GORGEY. Most of the Generals In the Hungarian army, with the exception of a few Polish veterans have sprung suddenly from inferior ranks to those they now occupy. Their His tory, therefore, anterior to the present war, affords few materials for the biographer. Gorgey, now the pride of the Hungarian na tion, and the favorite leader of her armies, was in 1040 omy iiouiciimn wo n.- service, and at the beginning of the Hunga rian stmiriTle the Bast vear, a volunteer in tne r?ci ' . ranks of the Honveds or national mnilia. At the battle of Schwechat, beneath the walls of Vienna, when the Hungarians were betray ed bv the treachery of General Maga, Gorgey was yet but a simple major; but the snarp eye of Kossuth had been fixed upon him and in the removal of Maga, he was immoaiaiciy raised to the vacant place of commander-in chief. His conduct afterwards fully proved the wisdom of the choice. Ho extricated the Hungarian army from a position in which his predecessor had designed it should be obliged to surrender to the enemy, or be driven into the waters of the Danube; and he conducted the Hungarian retreat before the overwhelm iriff forcesof Wind ischgratz and Jellachich flushed with the conquest of Vienna, until the favorable moment arrived for making a stand, and assuming the offensive. For this his character eminently fitted him. though so young a general (only about 30 years old) he is distinguished for uncommon prudence This has earned him the appellation of the Hungarian Fabius. Gorgey is the most noted as an officer o cavalry. At the head of the Hungarian hus sars, he finds his favorite place, lne plains of the Theiss region, where Wimtischgratr. and Jellachich suffered their signal defeat, witnessed the most daring and heroic deeds performed by Gorgey with his flying cavalry. But his talents are not limited to mis pamuu- lur sphere, as amply proves the taking of the fortress of Ofen, aud the late battles before Cornorn atrninst thn Austrian, ana ai Rjf" Distressing Acciuknt.

E" Gen. Haynau, in addition to hissa vage proclamation to the people of Buda. Pesth, has levied a tremendous fine upon the Jewish communities there, including clothing for about 70,000 men and 1,000 well caparisoned horses. In his cold blood ed proclamation he says, "Doomed to death is every person, no mutter of what rank or sex doomed to instant death, on the spot of the crime, is every one who dares to assia the cause of the rebels, by words, or by deeds or by revolutionary dress."

Numerous anecdotes are related to prove the kindness and goodness of her nature, but no one IS more characteristic than the fol lowing, Which, We believe, has not been made publio before : During her visit to Bath, she happened to be walking with a friend, in front of some almshouses, into one of which she entered, and sat down for a moment, os tensibly to rest herself, but In reality to rind some excuse for doing an act of charity to the old woman who lived in it, and whom she had seen feeble and totterting at the door. The old woman, like the rest of her neigh bors, was full of the Swedish Nightingale, whom she had heard was just then in Bath, entertaining with her voice all those who were so happy and fortunate as to be able to go to the theatre. "For myself," said the old woman. "1 have lived a long time in the world, and desire nothing before 1 die but to hear Jenny Lind." "And would it make you happy 1" inquired her visiter. "Ay that it would," answered the old woman ; "but such folks as I can't go to the play-house and so I shall never hear her." "Don't be so sure of that," said the good natured Jenny; sit down my friend, and listen ;" and forth with she sang, with all her richest and most glorious powers, one of the finest songs she knew. The poor old woman was beside herself with delight, when, after concluding her song, her kind visitor observed, "Now you have heard Jenny Lind." If she had given the woman a hundred pounds, she could not have afforded her half so much pleasure. It was an act of noble charity, of tho tendo- rest and most delicate kind. Money it would have been easy for her to give, and money no doubt, she did give; but to sit down in an almshouse, and there to call up the enchant ments of her voice, for the amusement of an obscure and poor old woman, was a touching proof of goodness of heart, which nothing we have heard of Jenny Lind surpasses. After this, we could readily believe of her any act of gentle and affectionate kindness, and wo would be glad to see collected, for the honor of art, all the numerous proofs of sympathy Rev.

The Bulletin says, "it is a noto rious fact, that the Pennsylvanian is more the organ of a candidate for the Presidency than ot the democratic party." Mr. Forney, in his reply to the charge, drags into the controversy the religious du ties of Mr. Cummings of the Bulletin, in a most discreditable article under the head of "piety and veracity." The Press of Phila delphia has long sustained a high character for its courtesy and sense of propriety, to wnicn sucn articles must certaiuly form an exception. Of the truth of the charge, that the Pennsylvanian has always been subser vient to the interests of a clique, there is but one opinion in the interior ol the state. The abilities oi some of its editors, as writers. have never been questioned, but it has al. ways been sadly deficient for want of a proper head, to make it, what it professes to be, tne organ of the democratic party in thii State.
