were alarmed by a hollow ghostly sound as of
spirits .knocking m the earth. The blows
were regular and quite distinct, and without
cessation until .cockcrow. The next night
these awful sound were again heard, and
seemed to become louder and more urgent as
the day drew near; but, with tho first scent of
morning air, they suddenly ceased. The ap-
prentice gave information to the town author-
ities; a military watch was set, and the cause
of the strange noises in the earth was very
soon discovered. The enemy was under
ground ; the Turks, from their camp on the
Leopoldsberg, were carrying a mine under the
city;and, not knowing the levels, had ap-
proached so nearly to the surface that there
was but a mere crust between them and the
bakehouse floor
What was to bo done ? The aai.ger was im-
wment-the remedy must be prompt and de-
cisive. A narrow arm of the Danube ran
within a hundred yards of the place; pick and

short time a canal. was cut between the river

and the bakery. Little knew the Turks of
the cold water that could then ct any time be
thrown upon their undertaking. All was still.
The Viennese say that the hostile troops al-
ready filled the mine, armed to the teeth, and
uwauingoniy a concerted signal to tell them could make up our minds,
that a proposed midnight attack on the walls "Then, when we were all willing to surrcn

as yet touched by the flames,
"On the sixteenth, the town itself being
then in ashes, there came a soldier dressed in
tit; Turkish costume, save that he wore the
leather jerkin of a German horseman, into
the high-street, and waving a white cloth, he
called out in the Hungarian language, to those
t'f us who were in the fortress, that if we
would ask for grace, both we and ours should
be protected, and a safe conduct (salva quar-
tia) given to us that should be our future dc-
fence. Thereupon we held honest counsil to-

and in the meantime gave replv, translated al-

musket was torn out of his hand, and such as
resisted were dragged by the hair of the head
into the square by the Turks, and told that
no was the first man murdered. Upon this the
Pacha stood up, and began to call out with a
loud, clear voice to his troops, and as thev
heard his words, they fell upon the unarmed
men in the market-place, and hewed them
down with their scimetara without pity or re

butchery,- and which, in spite of their hast-?,

GRAIIAJrs aiAGAZINE.-NEW 0L
l:ME. 1S54. In announcing his re&uincattv
receive Orders for the New Volume, the editor does
not know he has any very brilliant ideas to hold
ou. la large capitals to daztlo people's Tee
-Graham" will be pretty much what it Las "been
tho last volume, with some improvements which
experience suggests. No number will contain lew
than 100 pages of matter, and the readers of -Gr-haiu"
may rely with great confidence upon thit-I
the volumo shall contain
OVER TWELVE HUNDRED PAGES !
Of the very best reading matter that capital cn
command from ojiginal sources, or taste eelect from
the vast mass of available material.
Tho aim of the editor will be to produce a pub
lication which fholl be valuable in matter, aud
choice in taste and style; and he flatters himself
from the known talents of his contributors, that hi
will bo able to present as many good original ar
ticles to his readers as any publication of the day.
He shall not, however, hesitato to publish, from
time to time, articles from English author, and
translations from the best Gertaan and French
writers, provided the pieces have never before ap
peared in print in this country. Essays on impor
tant Political Subjects will likewise be inserted,
and criticisms on the Literature of America and
the movements of the Age. The Leview Depart
ment, in which a large and liberal spirit of crit
icism will always be maintained, will be extended.
For the defence of American Diterature the editor
will always be ready ; tho maint.ain.incc of a cor
rect tone in the Magazine, he will, if possible, bo
still more watchful.
EACH SCMEKU WILL CONTAIN A EXORAVISG FROM A
FINB STKEL TLATE IX ADPITIO.V TO THE CHOICE
DESIGNS ADENGKAVING5 OF DEVEItUX,
who will supply illustrations for the text in the
body of the book. Tho aim of the editor will nn
be so much to increase the number of his enirrav-
liigs, as to secure for those be publishes the ut
most finish tho artist can give them ; for common
wood-cuts arc so easily multiplied, that the mon
indifferent publication may outrank in dreary dis
play the choicest periodical.
Ihe Editor does not feel, that with his own rea
ders, he can increase his claims to respect bv in
sisting on any very great superiority of 'Graham'
over several similar publications, but thinks Le
may safely confide in their friendship for the
Magazine, and in its pa.st management for its pre
sent list, and such inereaso as naturally grows out
of an extended circulation in a country where
readers are multiplying so rapidly.
Of tho January number tho first edition will i.
."11,000 copies, and the editor trusts his old friends
will be so prompt in renewing old clubs, and ex
tending the list among new ones, that tho first
edition shall be but half os what the year will ul
timatcly establish, as the permanent circulation of
"Graham."

States may now receive the Magazine, by mail,

know how to prize it. '-Household Words" is a
modern journal for the people, devoted to common
subjects, uncommonly treated, excellent in stylo,
in genius, in manner, and wonderfully fertile in
subject. The pieces arc tho right length; they
exhibit wonderful variety and are attunfcd to ii
harmonious key and remarkable unity of effect.
For the money, there is not tho eoual of '-Household
Words" 'for a family journal. Pleasant sto
ries, useful knowledge, graceful anecdotes, charm
ing essavs, alternate iu its pages. It is not al
ways convenient to secure a copy of the weekly
issue on the arrival of a steamer; in order to enjoy
