      Austria And Hungary. Lfatesl&Test Accoun...

      AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . LfAtesL & test accounts from Vienna are to Sept . IS . [ tft wait was reported in Vienna that Count Stunner , u Aq Austrian ambassador , and Count Tetoff , the asassianssian one , had left Constantinople in consequence t the the refusal of the Porte to surrender the leaders f the the Hungarian insurrection . ( On 10 n the loth , in the evening , acourier arrived here oiom fom . Hungary with despatches from General Nugent inrthff the Emperor , but the contents are not known , hhe { he garrison of Comoro has retired into the m-: e : encrenched camp at Sandberg .

      Thi The 'Wanderer'speaks of a successful sortie made yy thy theinsurgents of Comoro , in which they captured vraa -vast number of ladders and other objects reunited DDrtlor the siege . The rumour is partly confirmed by the ahe arrival here on the 15 th of a considerable number ififwof wounded . Pi Pesth , Sept . 13 , —Oa the evening of the 12 th unsUist . a frightful hurricane with thunder and lightning jjursjurstover this city . Its effects were terrific and llestdestructive ; al the windows , for instance , having a swesWesterly aspect , were dashed to pieces by the hail , aandand the brokenpanes alone are estimated at 268 , 000 , ( QuaQuantities of-cattle were being brought in that were ffoufound killed in the fields . All the vineyards round sancand about the two cities of Pesth audOfenare luttmtterlv destroyed .

      1 Vienna , Sept . 19 . —The journals of Pesth bring i us us a new list of condemnations by special commisisiosions . For some days past the military executions ' by by shooting or hanging have been exchanged for : im imprisonment with hard labour . Georgey arrived at Klugenfurth on the lltb . His pa party consisted of two carriages ; he , with his wife an and daughter , and Major Andrassy , went in one ; his cb chasseur and domestics in the other . They alighted at at the Kaisser-Krone , where Georgey has established hi himself . He goes about the streets quite free , but gi generally accompaniedby his wife or Major Andrassy G Georgey is said to have expressed the wish to boy a 8 a estate in the neighbourhood of Kiugenfnrth .

      The' Ost-Deutsche Post' contains a Jong article 0 on the participation of religious parties in the Hung garian revolutions , by which it appears that the 1 Protestant clergy , for which Austria , as is well k towns , has never done anything , was most devoted * to Kossuth and the national cause . Of the Catholic e clergy , it was the order of the piarists who most 1 heartily co-operated , and it is remarked that this t order had been previously persecuted by the « open t and secret'Jesuits . On the other hand , the Benei die-tines , and even the oppressed Franciscans , rei nained true to the Austrian imperial hous ? . The < common Catholic clergyman were all imbued with 1 Magyar ideas . The Greco-united clergy went band i in hand with the Catholic clergy , hut the non-united : is almost solely in the Wcy wodina , where they fana' ticised the Servians against the Hungarians .

      According to a letter from Acs , the negotiations with the fortress of Comorn have been completely broken off , and the imperial troops are preparing tot an assault t \ $ OT the foutess . The actual siege Is to commence during the course of the present week j 80 , 000 men , together with the best military equipment and materials , are at the disposal of the commander of the siege . Marshal Gerard , writing of Antwerp , said it would take twentj-nine days to take that fortress by assault after a regular siege . Field Marshal Xngent having far greater difiicnlties to surmount , need require from forty to forty-eight days to take Comorn . According to the ' Wanderer / a report is circulated in Vienna that , in consequence of the intervention of Radetski , Comorn will capitulate on the same terms as Venice . Among the numerous conditions proposed by the council of war of Comorn for the reduction of the

      fortress , is the demand of an entire amnesty for the superior officers and civil functionaries of the fortress , and the conservation of their rank as officers . The ' 'Waidur * speaks of a sally made by the fortress of Comoro , in which many scaling ladders and other articles used in the siege were carried Of . What gives a colour to the truth of this statement is the fact that many wounded arrived ai Vienna on the 15 th . The Russian troops who occupied the mount villages have been sent on to Comoro , and have heen replaced by 3 , 000 men of the Sclavonian Landsfurm . These troops , who are thoroughly acquainted with the defiles and passages of the mountains , are a great acquisition against th < surgent binds who infest the countrv .

      The Russian troops withdrawn from Hungary will not be sent back to their old stations in the interior , but remain for the present in Poland , Voihynia , and on the frontier . The ' PestherZeitnng' continues to bear daily "witness to the activity of the courts-martial . Among the most remarkable sentejlttS recorded latterly h ihe Allowing : — « Lsdislaus , Count Zelinsky , native of Cracow , aged 38 , catholic , married , chamberlain of the imperial court , formerly captain in the Austrian service of the

      Prince Schwarzeiberg ' s regiment of Lancers , convicted by court-marlial of having attempted to procure the desertion of the same regiment to the Hungarian cause , and employed emissaries and other means for the attainment of this end , although without result , has been pronounced guilty of attempted military subornation , and according to the 30 th article of war , in combination with the proclamation of F . Z . M " . Ilaynau , of July l , has been condemned to suffer , besides the loss of his office of chamberlain , ten years of hard labour at fortifications in light irons . *

      The insurgent Connt Lenange it is said has died of cholera at Arad . DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES . —The ' Bukaxest Gazette' gives the report sent to it from Turnu Sever in , relative to Hem , Guyon , and Stein , with 15 officers , 1 , 500 infantry , and 800 cavalry , having arrived there . On surrendering to the Turkish commanding officer , they , the chiefs , were sent on to Widdin , but it was not yet known what had L-een done with the rest . We also learn from the same ' Gazette' quoted above that the estate of Bemberg , given to Bern by the Hungarian regiment , has been destroyed , as far as that was possible , by fire .

      FRANCE . Paris , Satokdat . —A circular of the minister of justice , says the 'Presse , ' directs the prefects ef the frontier departments not to allow any foreigners to enter who cannot prove that they have the means of existence . The new five franc pieces of the republic , of which 200 , 000 have already been coined , have come intocirculaiicu . Oaonesideisafigureofafemale representing the republic , crowned with flowers , & c , with the word 'Concord' on the forehead , and as a legend the words 'RspubliqaeFraneaise ; ' on the other side aretg-o palms forming a crown , and the words 'Liberie , Egalite , Fralemite . '

      A cabinet conned was held yesterday at the Elysee , to deliberate on the affairs of Rome , and a courier started for Italy in the evening . M . Francois Lycocq , editor of the < National de l'Onest / has just been condemned by the court of Assize to sis months' imprisonment and l , 000 f . fine , at the suit of the court-martial which condemned Captain Heber , of the 4 th Regiment , to death , for Tibet on their decision . Paris , Monbay . —A Ielterfrom Genevastatesthat H . Strove , the Baden Republican Chief , having declared that he would not quit Switzerland except by force , has bees expelled the canton by a decree of the Council of State . He is at preasent at Nion . M . Heinzen , who has redeemed the pledge he gave to qait Switzerland , has received his passport . M . Felix Pyat , the French Red Republican , has fixed his residence at Lousaaae .

      A Lule journal states that the Socialist chiefs there are endeavouring to get up a great banquet for the day of the epeniogof the High Court of Justice at Versaills . A considerable number of the trees of liberty planted in Paris were removed privately during Saturday night by order of the Government .

      SWITZERLAND . The nmnber of German refugees who have quitted the Swiss territory to return to the Palatinate is estimated at more than L 000 . They are allowed to cross the French territory as far as the German frontier , on the side of Wissembnrg . The ' Ticino Gazette * of the 17 th states as positive that the council of state of Ticino has received a despatch from the federal council , announcing to it the result of the remonstrances made at Milan by

      the Swiss consul and the French consul-general to Marshal Radetski and General Hess , concerning the concentration of troops now going on on the frontier cfthe canton of Ticino . The Austrian general is Sfiid to have this time openly declared that this concentration is intended to induce Ticino to follow the example of the federal council with respect to the refugees , and that it is also intended as a precaution against the aisemblage of malcontents at Geneva , as also to he ready for any event that might happen in comeqaence of the sstra & ce in Swi'seriuia of th ?

      German refugees . The Federal Council was therefore recommended to invite the government of Ticino to execute the degree against the refugees , and to send the Federal Council a list of the names of all such individuals . The tenor of the despatch in question seemed to allude at the same time to further measures which would be taken against the subjects of Ticino settled in Lombatdy . GERMANY . BADEN . —Mannheim , Sep . 20—M . Diets , from Schneeberg , in Saxony , was sentenced to death yesterday by a Court Martial , for his participation in the insurrection at Baden , and was shot at five o ' clock this morning . He was an athletic young man of twenty-seven years ; neither be nor the public were prepared tor the severity of hU sentence .

      ITALY . ROME . —The < Naz onale' < f Florence of the 15 th ult ., announces the arrest , at Komi , of M Nicolini , who bad been a popular leader in the late Tuscan revolution . Count Socconi , of Ferr ao , Pohdori , and twe other officers oi the dissolved regiments have also heen arrested . In the sitting of the 17 th ult ., the Chamber of Deputies of Turin commenced the discussion of the bill for the abolition of the law of primogeniture Bv this bill the right of entailing property is to be abolished- The foundations and dotations of commandership in the knightly order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus are likewise to be abrogated . lhe laws and statutes of the said order are revoked in what concerns the distinction between Knights of Justice and of Grace ; and the proofs of noble birth , hitherto required , are no longer to be insisted on .

      Rome , Sept . 17 . —A grand escape of condemnation , or more properly speaking , accused priests , took place on the day before yesterday from the prisons of the inquisition , where they were confined , some for having acted as regimental chaplains , some for having blessed the republican troops , and others for similar offences against ecclesiastical decorum . They succeeded in effecting a subterranean excavation from their dungeon to upper day , or rather night , for they raade off about one o'clock after midnight without being molested by the French sentries in the neighbourhood , for , as it had been denied that there were any prisoners in the vaults , the Soldiers did not consider themselves obliged to watch very strictly . Some women of the Trestevere quarter are said to have assisted considerably in the . liberation of the prisoners , of whom from nine to thirteen ate

      variously stated to have escaped . A tew , amongst whom was M . Gazzola , of literary and newspaper fame , refused to leave the prisons , some alleging that , being accused of pecuniary peccadillos , 'flight would be equivalent to a confession of guilt ; and some unfortunates , finally , were prevented from profiting by the general move , and emerging with their companions to rivider ie stsile , by the dreadful predicament of one of their number , who , being a very stout man got jammed in the escape hole , and fixed himself so firmly in the wall by his own efforts , that , ' return astidiousastogoo ' er , ' he was obliged to remain until the affair got wind , and he was captured midway . Two French artillery men walking from the neighbouring guard-house , saw the first prisoners escape , and pretended not to observe them , saying one to another , Laissons done echapper eespawres diables—faut fear tourner te dos .

      SARDINIA . —The ' Concordia ' of the 17 th ult ., gives the following particulars concerning Garibaldi's visit to Nice : —* Garibaldi has , so to say , been carried in triumph by the population of Nice . He embraced with emotion his old mother , his aunt , aud his other relations , who pressed him to their bosoms , while his children , Menotti , and Ricciotti , embraced his knees . This happy interview was saddened only by the absence of bis late wife , whom the brave officer had been so cruelly bereaved oi during the latter events . Garibaldi called upon his friend Desdery , who has adopted his little daughter Teresita ; Garibaldi's carriage could move but slowly in the streets , as everybody wished to greet him . When Teresita saw her father , she exclaimed : — ' Grandmamma has been to Rome , the will have told how good 1 have been I' Garibaldi

      was struck with these simple words , which but t o clearly reminded him of the loss he had sustained . He passed the day with his friend Desdery , and next morning returned on hoard the St . Geor ? es , as he had promised . He was everywhere saluted by cheers on his way to the steamer . The following is a letter of his to one of his friends '•—' My dear friend , —I am to sail to-morrow for Tunis on board the Tripoli . I have seen what you have done for me , and what your generous colleagues have done . I charge you to express my gratitude to them . I have no reason to complain of any one . I believe we are in times in which resignation is necessary , for we are in limes of bitterness . Remember me to all the brave defenders of the Italian cause , and love your Joseph Garibaldi . Genoa , Sept . 15 .

      The' Concordia' adds , that the authorities at Genoa treat him with the greatest regard . He has an orderly at his service , and a sentinel at his door . His friends are allowed free access to him . A letter from Genoa , of the 16 th ult ., published in the same journal , confirms the intelligence of his departure on board the Triroli for Sardinia , and then < e for Tripoli . The royal commissioners , on informing him of this decision of the government , assured him the measure was but temporary , and would at most last two or three months if tranquillity was not again disturbed . THE REFUGEES AT MALTA .

      On the 18 th of September the Sardinian brig Concordia , Captain Castaglioli , put into the port of Malta from Genoa , bound to the Pitscus of Athens and Constantinople , having on board 160 c fficers , non-commissioned officers , privates and volunteers , ch ' ufly Hungarians , Lombards , aud Poles , the vfssej being in a sinking state , from having sprung aleak , indeed , making water to such an extent as to be kept afloat with much difficulty by straw stuffed into her seams , sails frapped under her bottom , and the keeping of both pumps constantly going for several days previous .

      Under the standing orders of Mr . Richard More O'Ferrall , the governor , these unfortunate men ( charitably embarked at the expense of the Sardinian government , were immediately notified that they would not , under any circumstances , he allowed to land , although it resulted from a survey held on the vessel , that for the repair of her damages h became necessary that she should be hove down , and which operation would entail the getting out of her ballast , all which would occupy several days . Under such orders the captain had no other alternative than to start his living cargo into four open lighters , in which they remained exposed to the scorching rays of the summer sun during the day , the deadly dew by night , and the oppressive and stifling September sirocco as well by day as by night , for the following forty-eight hours , when .

      upon an application made officially , as we understand , by the Sardinian Consul , on the score of hummity , to Colonel Rice Jones , of the Royal Engineers , administering , as senior military officer , the government in the absence of Mr . More O'Ferrell , permission was granted on the 20 th for the hands to land en theCorradino Mole , to stretch their cramped limbs , and to such as preferred a lodging in the Lazzaretto , accommodation was tendered therein , which latter will be gratefully availed of by soma eighteen or twenty who are labouring nnder gunshot and other wounds and diseases , some of which , from their loathsome and contageous nature , render segregation from their fellow-sufferers in distress a matter of urgent necessity . We are informed that a draft of another hundred of the distressed Sicilian refugees , ex Gennaro , have been sent away to the Piisus of Athens by a Greek vessel .

      IONIAN ISLANDS . The 'Osservatore Triestino' publishes the sews from Corfu of Sep . 13 th , as follows : — ' The insurrection in the Ionian Islands is to he regarded as completely quelled in consequence of , the energetic measures employed . A ssall band of ] about forty insurgents have fled to the mountains , where , however , they ' Ernst soon surrender to the soldiery surrounding tbem . Several executions by martial law have already taken place , to be soon followed by others .

      TURKEY . Constantinople , Sep . 5 . —The Russian and Austrian ministers both sent notes to the Porte , demanding that the Polish and Hungarian refugees at present in Turkey should be given up . A Council of Turkish ministers was held last Friday , when it was determined to reject tbe demand of M . de Tiroff and the count de Stunner . The Sultan has approved of the decision of the council . This act of firmness on the part of the Sultan and his ministers has given great satisfaction to the English and French ambassadors , not unmingled , I am told , with a certain amount of anxiety as to what may be the ulterior results of such a bold measure . Yesterday an aide-de-camp 0 t the Empero " Nicholas ( Count Radzivill ) arrived here from War-

      Austria And Hungary. Lfatesl&Test Accoun...

      saw on board a , aMasaat ( toos . GeAita . HA * amm caused a goofy deal of excitement in the diplom atic body . On ' landing , the pr incipal aid-de-camp , vrto has the t & 'Sk of general , received a salute of thirteen guns . H . ehas come on a special mission to the Porte . As I anticipated , the emperor is very much disposed with the policy pursued by the Turkish government , and has sent his aide-de-camp to complain . Of the details of the general ' s mission not much has yet transpired . It appears , however , that he has instructions to insist that the Hungarian and Polish refugee s shall be instantly given up . There is a council at the Porte to-day to discuss the new demands of the Czar . It is , however , generally believed in the diplomatic circle that the Turkish government will not change its original determination .

      INDIA AND CHINA . Th e intelligence by the Overland Mail is scanty . Tbe Punjab generally and the north-west frontier are tranquil , though rumours were still afloat respecting the designs of Gholab Sing . Sickness still prevailed amongst the troops at Lahore .

      THE WEST INDIES . The Royal West India mail packet Trent , Capt . Clarke , from the West Indies , & c , arrived at Southamp ton on Monday , and landed her mails and despatches under the charge of Lieut . Dennehy , R . N .. Admiralty agent . From Mexico we learn that the struggle between the Indian race and the whites remains in the same slate as it was at date of last advices .

      From California various letters and the description of persons just returned from San Francisco speakof little els-i than much misery and great disappointment . Markets glutted with goods and provisions , and prices so low as scarcely sufficient to pay the freight . Beef and pork , four dollars a barrel ; flour , five dollars ; and calico , three cents , a yard . Ninety thousand of ' Trent ' s' dollars are from Vera Cruz for the bondholders .

      UNITED STATES . By the vigour of the United States government , the projected expedition to Cuba had heen nipped in the bud . , In consequence of instructions received by electric telegraph from Washington the U . S . Marshal of the district seized the Sea Gull and other vessels prepared at New York for this secret expedition , on charge of being engaged in an expedition intended for the invasion of some foreign power with which the United States are at peace .

      The Lancashire Miners. To The Editob Of ...

      THE LANCASHIRE MINERS . TO THE EDITOB OF THE SOUTHERN STAB . Sib , —I have the satisfaction of informing you that we are still increasing in numbers daily . I have addressed several good meetings in Little Button , West Leigh , Halliwell ,. and other places around this town . Mr . Dennett is at Chovley , and good meetings have been held in that district . Mr . Price has addressed some very enthusiastic meetings at Wigan in Mr . Brindle ' s ' singing saloon ; Mr . Brindle has kindly given the Miners " of "Wigan the use of his saloon , and finds them gas gratis two evenings in every week . Mr . Mcadowcroft is also doing good in the Ashton district . A Miners' Camp Meeting was held in a field near the Spindle Point , Clifton , on Sunday afternoon , which was well attended . The meeting was addressed by Jonathan Finale , James Price , and others . ¦ . . . At the County Meeting held on the 17 th instant , at the Queen Anne , Little Severn , delegates were

      present from Ualliwcll , West Leigh , Shackerlcy , and three new districts . Amongst several resolutions , it was agreed : — " That the question as to whether victims who may be discharged for joining the union , may be supported by the County Board or not , be referred back again to the members , 80 that eueh delegate may be prepared to vote at the next County Alectin . ? , which will be held at Mr .

      The Miners Of The North. To The Editor O...

      THE MINERS OF THE NORTH . TO THE EDITOR OF THE XOTtTHEUS STAU . SiB , —The enclosed tetter was intended by the writer to have been read at the public meeting of miners , held on Saturday , 15 th inst ., on the Black Fell . I am well acquainted with the writer , and feel uncommonly grieved that , from some inadvertence , the letter was not read , and trust the insertion of it in the Sm will afford him every satisfaction . Tours faithfully , Martin Jude . Barras Bridge , September 23 rd , 1849 .

      Mr Beak Felww Wokkixo Mest , — "While the subject of ventilation is before the Legislature , permit me to lay my thoughts before you and the country . Though I no longer can follow that dangerous occupation myself , I can still view you and the dangers with which you are surrounded ; and while pondering on those evils , the following plan presented itself to my mind , which ,, if brought into operation , ( and which could be done at no great expense ) would prevent the recurrence of such calamities as have too often 'taken place in these districts . I know every man present understands ' my subject . I consider the goaf is the spot where the enemy lurks ; and to remove chat enemy with perfect safety to you all is my plan , namely , to bore a hole , or

      holes , down into the goaf from the surface , thus the enemy could make his escape , and thus the owners might conduct it to the hcapstands or workshops , as they think proper , and the enemy of life and property might be rendered the servant of beth . My plan is simple , but no less effectual ; I have maturely considered this plan to tho lowest seams now working , and I will be ready to give an answer to any person that may object to it . My dear friends , I send my best respects to you all , as there are many here that know me personally ; 1 wish te let you know that 1 am well , in good spirits , although deprived of sight . Yours truly , CuTIIBIiRT Watkis . Bitchburn Colliery , Sept . 14 th .

      Bank Or England.—At The Half-Yearly Gene...

      Bank or England . —At the half-yearly General Court of Bank of Enland Stock Proprietors , held last week , a dividend was proposed of 3 * per cent ., without deduction for income-tax for the half-year ending 10 th October next ; tins dividend would leave " the rest" at £ 3057 , 073 . Mr De Winton , sen ., moved that the dividend be 4 i per cent . ; and added to the arguments with which ho has so often advocated increased dividends , one founded on the importations of California gold : — " From a letter which appeared in the Times , received through America , he found that , last yea ] 1 , the gold collected in California , amounted in value to 50 , 000 , 600 dollars , or £ 10 , 000 , 000 sterling . What effect would

      that have upon the price of gold in London , which was tho centre of the industrial world ? Why , he should not be surprised if , instead of £ 15 , 000 , 000 of bullion , they should have next year £ 20 , 000 , 000 ; which , of course , would operate favourably to a reduction of capital . The arbitrary price of gold here was £ 3 17 s . lOJd . per ounce ; but ho was inclined to think the constant influx of specie into this country must hereafter reduce the value of that metal to £ 3 10 s ., and there would then be a difference often per cent . " Mr . De Winton ' s motion was seconded and supported b y Mr . De Winton , jun . It was negatived ; and the dividend of 3 } per cent , was confirmed .

      What it Costs to Plav at Soldiers . —France has spent upon its war establishment , from 1831 to 1849 , no less than £ 283 , 000 , 000 ! This enormous sum may be said te have been spent upon reviews , for not one war ( the razzias in Algeria aro even too contemptible for the contemptible name of war ) , broke out during the above period . Therefore it cost France £ 10 , 000 , 000 a year for reviews : really there ifi no game so expensive as playing at soldiers . Louis Philippe ' s motto was , " la paux « tontprix , " and he certainly paid dearly enough for it . According to the late king ' s tariff , peace was nearly as

      expensive as war . But ttiea it was an " armed peace . " ft required 5 W , 000 men to prevent Franco from fighting ; 4 ha , t is to say , nearly as many as Napoleon noiuired to sfight all Eurone with . Wc must say wc doubt the peaceful intentions of such a . warlike naticfl . A peaceful man does not walk about with duelling pistols hi his pocket . And it is probable that Franco will have to pay for its eighteen years of childish reviews with n jierpe . tu . il income tax . Wc only hope it will be a timely warning to other peace-preaching and war-practising nations . — Piuush , |

      The New American Atlantic fimjr-SOTPS . — Within a year five of the largest steam-shi ps in the world will be sent to sea . The two in the state of greatest forwardness aro the Ohio and Georgia belonging to the New Orleans and Cuagtesmaii line ' These ships arc shaped upon the most beautiful model yet . adopted in the construction of any steamship . Their capacity is stated to be 2 , 750 tons each . Larger than even these are the two shins building under the contract for the conveyance of the mail between New York and Liverpool , held bv-Mr .
