The Canada will probably arrive here early this moming. On her arrival, her mails will be imme- diately distributed, at the post office. The Foreign News. The arrival of the Canada, after a remarkably fine passage across the Atlantic, has put us in pos- session of one week’s later intelligence from the old world. There is not much special interest in this news, but it is important in several partioulars. The continent of Europe is still convulsed and agitated. It will be seen that the result of the ap- peal to arms has been, at various points, favorable to the popular cause. Austria has been signally de- feated in Hungary, and is probably, by this time, driven out of the country. At Berlin, another out- burst of popular feeling has occurred, involving another scene of bloodshed. The state of affairs in Italy is much the same as was represented by theaccounts received by the laststeamer. Through- out the whole continent the revolutionary elements are everywhere at work. Society is shaken to its centre. The tramp of armed men is heard re. sounding in city, town, and hamlet. Despotism is preparing for the last decisive struggle, and the people, at last awakened toa sense of their own strength, are also making ready for the conflict. ‘We cannot be unconcerned spectators of this scene, so full of solemn and painful interest. With intense anxiety we await the result, full of hope, not unmingled with fear and trembling—for the Oppressor is mighty, and the people contend against fearful odds. Jn England, a change of the ministry seems to be approaching. The passage of the navigation laws has excited a powerful effect on the part of the ep- position ; and the restoration of the tory party, or the conservatives, as they choose to style themselves, would not, perhaps, be detrimental to the progress of liberal principles in Great Britain. Almost all the important measures of reform which have, within the last twenty years, assuaged the revolutionary spirit of the masses in that empire, were wrung froma tory administration. The whigs of Great Britain are excellent friends of the people—out of office. Once in power, they are as much opposed to progress and reform and liberty, as the rankest tory aristocrat who fattens on the sufferings of his countrymen. A day of great and mighty change is, however, fast approaching in Great Britain. The storm of revolution which now sweeps the Euro- pean continent will, by and by, break on the island empire. Already the sagacious statesman hears the distant murmuring of the tempest. The reign ef an oppressive and overshadowing aristocracy cannot be much longer protracted. If the present administration be ejeeted from office, we shall be prepared to see the commencement of an agitation in the British empire, which will lead to the most startling results. We await, with much interest, the news of the result of the French elections. Indeed, in the pre- sent distracted state of Europe,when no man knows what a day may bring forth, every arrival from the other side of the Atlantic will be looked for here with intense anxiety. Tux Cnorrra.—It is said that the cholera has appeared in this city. Six cases were reported yesterday, and the Board of Health were convened immediately. The duty of the public authorities is plain and simple. The streets must be thorough- ly cleaned immediately, and such other sanitary measures adopted as the exigency requires, Saming or THE Sreamsuie Amenica.—The steamship America, Capt. Harrison, sailed yester- day noon for Halifax and Liverpool. It will be seen, on reference to her list of passengers, that she took out about as large a list as the steamship Europa, which left this port on the 2d inst. Marine Affairs. Wm. H. Webb will launch, this afternoon, at 4 o'clock, from his yard, foot of Houston steet, East River, the ship James Drake, This ship is built for Messrs. Spof- ford, Tileston & Co, and Capt. Benjamin Smith, and tobe commanded by the latter gentleman. She is in- tended as a Havana packct, in place of the ship Cris oval Colon, Sporting Intelligence. Usiow Covnse—Tnortine Maton.—The famous trot ting horse Trustee—the only horse that has trotted twenty miles within the hour—contends,this afternoon, with the King of Terrors in mile heats, best three in five—the latter named to harness, and Trustee to a 250 Ib. wagon, This sfiar will undoubtedly draw a crowd, The cars leave for the track at 2% o'clock from the South Ferry. Progress or THE CHoLERA.—From the Western papers we gather the following :—At Versailles, Ky., twodeaths; at Georgetown, Ky, one death; on the steamer St.’ Paul, on the Missouri river, eleven deaths; on the Algoma, four; at Maysville, Ky., twenty ‘one deaths in the city and surrounding country during twenty-four hours. ending the afternoon of the luuh ; on the steamer Belle Key. from New Orleans, five deaths; on the Ivanhoe, four; on the America, eighteen; onthe Nominee. several; at Shepherdsville, hy., three; on the Kentucky river, four: at New Albany, two ‘Washington.

We have already had statements by tele- ph of the ravag e at St. Louis and Vineimnati, At St is it had been earried into the by * rie: by intection, and four deaths have oc- : t kort 6 vailing, and five deaths from it had c« igrant company he ravages of tbe discare at Maysville, as will be soon above, haveincreased slarmingly. ‘The Buiialo Repub Hic of Friday. says :— We } Just learned from a reli- able source, that the cholera is making frightful rava- gee in Chicago.

ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA, cH WEEE LATER, RECEIVED BY SPECIAL OVERLAND EXPRESS, FROM HALIPAL, NOVA SCOTIA, To 8t. John, New Brunswick, AND THENCE TELEGRAPHICALLY TO THE N. Y. HERALD, HIGHLY INTERESTING INTELLIGENCE, State of the Markets, &e. Se. Se. Sr. Jonn, N. B., Wednesday May 16—1} A.M. The steamship Canada, Captam Judkins, with 82 through passengers, arrived at Halifax on Mon- day evening, at half-past six o'clock, making, with two exceptions, the quickest passage out on re- cord, and quicker, from two to seven days, than she ever performed the passage before. Our express left Halifax at 7 o'clock, and every possible exertion was made to get the news through for the morning papers of Wednesday, but unfortu- nately there was no steamer in readiness to take it across the Bay of Fundy—the express steamer having been detained here longer than usual, en account of a very heavy storm in the Bay, which at was desirable to avoid. The Canada brings Paris dates to the evening of the 3d, London of the morning of the 4th, and Liverpool to the afternoon of the 4th instant. She was to have left Halifax at 9 o’clock, and may, therefore, be looked for at New York early this morning. The London money market continues steady, and English securities are on the advance. Con- sols for money and account opened on Monday at 923, and closed firm at 92}. There is no material decrease in the stock of bullion held by the Bank of England. The total amount of gold shipped to the United States, ex- clusive of £25,000 on board the Canada, is stated at £411,900. The accounts from New York, by the Niagara, of the fluctuation of exchanges, has tended mate- nally to check the exportations of specie. There is an improved demand in the London market for American stocks, more particularly in Pennsylvania 5per cents. That stock is quoted at 77 a 79, which 1s the only stock mentioned in the London papers. The steamer Hermann arrived at Cowes, from New York, on the 3d inst. The Hungarian War. Official notice of the intervention of Russia in Hungary, has been received at Paris. The number of men placed at the disposal of Austria, is 80,000. Another account states the number at 150,000. The war in Hungary, so far at least as Austria is concerned, is daily assuming a more serious as- pect; the Austrians have been signally defeated and driven to the edge of Hungary, ifnot out of thecoun- try altogether; the undoubted success of the Hunga- nans has caused dismay to the seat of empire, and Vienna dreaded their triumphant approach.— Appearances are decidedly against her. The dis- asters in Hungary tend to modify the tone of Aus- triain Piedmont—Radetzky has reduced his de- mands for indemnities, from twe hundred and thir- teen million francs to eighty millions, which is acceptable to Sardinia, and a treaty of peace has accordingly been concluded. We have intelligence from Berlin to May Ist. Matters continue in much the same state as betore. The number of the military within the city has been increased. It is rumored that Prussia has entered into an alliance with Russia and Austria against Hungary. Letters frem Pesth to the 29th ult., confirm the news of the evacuation of that city by the impe- nalists. The same letters assert that at Pesth the people were displaying, it may be said, in sight of the imperialists, a Hungarian cockade and colors. ‘The orthodox away to Vienna. Presburg is being put into a state of defence with the greatest haste. Bem has not gone in the direction of Wallachia, as it was said, but has marched to Temeswar. The suspension bridge between Pesth and Ge- noa, the largest in the world, and the pride of Hun- gary, has been destroyed by the Austrians, in order to cover their retreat. The whole line of the imperial troops have now retired to the position of Raab, their left wing being still near Comorn, and sending at intervals some shells into the fortress. ‘The Magyars are advancing towards Vienna, on the left side of the Danube. Probably the imperial army will be obliged to return to the Marchfield, near Vienna, as the only means of resisting the Magyars. The imperial troops are entirely disor- ganized. The news from Pesta is to the effect that the Hungarians have obtained possession of the Island of Schutt, in the Danube, and that they have cut off the retreat of the Imperialists. The army in Ilungary have caused the Prussian government to concentrate an army of observation on the frontier of Austria and Silesia. Avstria demands Russian interference in the af- fairs of Hungary, and it was expected thatthe Em- peror of Russia would publish a manifesto explain- ing his motives for interfering. Important from Prusst The King of Prussia has again quarrelled with his Parlioment, and has definitely refused to accept the imperial crown of Germany. On the 26th, the second Chamber having passed some obnoxious resolutions against holding Berlin longer in a state of siege, was forthwith dissolved by royal ordi- nance. This gave great displeasure to the people of Berlin, and was the immediate cause of a popu- lar commotion, which was, for the time, suppress- ed by the soldiers, but not until more blood had been shed. On the 26th ult., the Prussian ministry sustained another defeat in the second Chamber. In conse- quence of these successive defeats sustained by the government in the second Chamber, on the Ger- man question and on the motion for terminating the state of siege, the cabinet resolved to dissolve that body. The excitement caused by the dissolu- tion, in the city of Berlin, speedily assumed a enous aspect, Groups of men began to assemble in the principal squares, patrols were called out, blews were exchanged, and some arrests were made. An officer, who had ordered his detach- ment back to the barracks, was struck, and his men avenged the insult by discharging their muskets at the aggressors, One man 1s reported to have been killed, and others wounded. On the 28th ult. attempts were made to erect barricades at several points onthe Hebrilatz. ‘The soldiers were compelled to fire, and the casualties in the evenfng were ascertained to be four killed, one of whom was a woman, and five wounded. On the 25th, several other persons were shot by the mili- tary, but subsequently order was restored. Tho Schieswig War, The war in Schleswig continues, and the promised peace seems still very far distant Four of the French war steamers returned to Toulon, from Civita Veechia, on the 23th, when preparations were immediatély made to embark another detachment of 6,000 infantry, two batteries of artillery, and several equad- was scarcely any business done. Floating cargoes of Indian corn, on the coast, found buyers at 323. a 88s. per quarter. Good brands of flour were offered at 24s., without attracting attention. A meeting, very numerously attended, has been held in London, to form a national league for re- storing the principle of protection of national in- dustry. It is supposed that the meeting was got up tor the purpose of fortifying the House of Lords in the step it now seems probable that branch of the legislature will pursue, in throwing out the bill for the repeal of the navigation act. Should this bill be defeated in the House of Lords, it will, it is supposed, carry down with it all the prominent measures of the ministry and the miniatry itself. Canadian affitirs have ‘been, on several occa- sions, incidentally noticed in Parliament, but the Ministry have caretully avoided giving any in- formation of the views or intentions of the govern- ment, in relation to the impending quarrel. Markets. Livenroos, May 5.—Since tho sailing of the Hibernia, the imports of cotton have been 113,277 bales, of which 104,149 are American. Prices of American, particulary the low and middling qualities, are higher. Egyptian and Brazil, quoted 434d.. and Orleans 44d. The sales of the week ending May 4, were 46,190 bales, of which nearly 30,000 were American. Speculators took 2,360 bags American, and exporters 2,710. Another feeling of depression has come over the grain trade. The weather has lately become very favorable tothe growing crops, which causes buyers to confine their purchases to immediate wants. At Marklane, on Monday last, English wheat sold generally at a decline of one shilling to two shillings per quarter. Foreign also met a very limited demand, although s similar de- duction was accepted in the value of both flour and In- dian corn. ‘A slight concession was made on the following day, At Liverpool a limited demand for wheat and flour was experienced, and former prices wero barely main- tained. Indian corn was in brisk request, and regain- edthe depression last noticed. Indian meal sold at 15a. per barrel. Yesterday the London market was dull, and very little business doing. Flour was old at 23s., and towards the close of bnsi- eas that price was not obtained, although holders re- fused 228, 6d. for considerable quantities, and some transactions have taken place at 22s. 9d. per bbl. Prime Ohio is quoted at 28s. to 24s. 6d. Indian corn improved in demand, and sold at 31s. a 32s. for white, ‘The imports of American grain and produce, durin; the past week, comprised 7.510 bbls, flour, 29,018 qrs. of Indian corn, and 981 bbls.

New York rons of cavalry, which it was expected would sail for Italy on the 2d inst. This movement might lead to the supposition that General Oudinot ex- pected resistance at Rome. However that may be, itis stated that General Avezzana would not wait for reinforcements to march, a column of six thousand men having been already directed to- warde that city. It is reported that preliminaries of new conditions of peace have been proposed by England, and al- ready accepted by Prussia. They are the with- drawal of the troops at Jutland, and simultaneous ceesation of the blockade of the German ports by the Danes. Important from Rome. The news of the arrival of the French has created a great sensation at Rome, where, it was eaid, Avezzana had got 20,000 men, under arms, to meet them. Another report states that the Ro- mans did not wait for the arrival of the French troops, to rise against the triumvirate. Marzim had, according to the statement, fled, and the popula- tion pronounced for Pius IX. The French commander proclaims a mission rather friendly than otherwise; and it is under- stood that the Pope will be expelled, or compelled to grant not only an amnesty, but desirable re- forms. Similar conditions will probably be imposed on the Grand Duke of Tuscany. At Paris, on the 3d inst., it was reported at the Bourse, and generally credited, that the govern- ment had received a telegraphic despatch, an- nouncing the entry of the French into Rome, and the flight of the republican government; also that the Tuscan troops had entered Leghorn. Austria, The first transport of Russian soldiers were ex- pected to arrive by railway from the frontiers from.

Foreigners are not allowed to stay in Vienna. Bohemia, From Bohemia, we hear that the peasantry are arming themselves with scythes, and are prepar- ing for a revolution. The French Republic, The funds were favorably affected by these re- ports. The Sicilians, beaten at all points, have virtually submitted to the King of Naples and the French Admiral, and have negotiated successfully for favorable conditions. The accounts of the Bank of France show an increase of specie to the extent of 6,000,000 francs. On the 3d inst., French five per cents realized 89f.80c.; three per cents, 58f.; which is an advance froin the preceding day of 50c. on the fives and 65 on the threes. According to the programme in Paris of the 4th May, and for which a grant of 200,000 francs has been made by the National Assembly, a Te Dewm by the National Assembly and the constituted au- thorities, is to be performed, for which workmen are busily making preparations in the Place de la Concorde. On the same occasion, the city of Pario will give a grand entertainment to the President of the republic.

Potice Court.—Before Justice Truman Smith.— Ezamination of Jacob Frost,ona charge of Assault and Battery, with intent to commit a Rape. —The examination of Mr. Jacob Frost, an account of whose arrest was given on Monday last, took place at the police court esterday afternoon. The affair has created the most intense excitement in South Brooklyn, where Mr. Frost resides. ‘I he charge is, that in the early part of April last, the defendant made an assault upon the person of Surannah Brulus.a servant in his family, and at- tempted to violate her person, The complainant,upon being sworn, testified af follows: Mr. Frost assaulted me the third day after I went to live with him; he came down stairs, and put his hand on my neck, and said I was asmart girl. About two weeks after, | was down in the celli ting some wood, when defendant came and put his hand in my bosom; | left his house about the last of April. One evening about the first of April 1 came into the partor; he (defendant) was there; [ had previously gone up stairs and came down again; when I went up the astral lamp on the table was burning brightly. and when I came back the lamp was lowered; I was standing by the fire-placc, and he eame up to me. and put one arm around me and pulled up my clothes with his other hand Noone was in the lower part of the house at this time. Upon hercrose-examination,she said that she first told | her Sunday school teacher of the affair; that her teacher's name was Mrs, Dwight; never told any one | that defendant had bad criminal connection with me; | I never told Margaret Koke that Mr, Frost had ha criminal connection with me; never said that Edward | or Henry Coles had; Mrs, Frost, upon returming to her | house, has found me Pp once or twice, and scolded | me for it; I have got angry; I have a pretty bad temper; while I was in New York, Mr Frost came to me, and re- quested me to sign a paper which he called a certificate; 1 was brought up in the Half Orphan Asylum, 6th | avenue, New ‘ork, England. The English clergy relief bill has been con- sidered in the committee, and appears likely to pass the Commons, with some alterations tending to place the nonconformist clergymen upon equal footings. If the Peers throw out the bill for re- pealing the navigation laws, the British nation is evidently in for an agitation more bitter and per- sonal than this country has experienced since 1830. The interests of individuals and classes are deeply involved; the landlords will fight for in- creased income ; the masses and the manufactur- ing community for cheap bread and increased trade. The bill was to have been taken up in the House of Lords on the 7th inst. The rate in aid bill has reached the Lords ; but the vote on the repeal of the navigation laws bill will decide the fate of that measure, as well as Lord John Russell's bill for emancipating the Jews. If the Peers resolve on an adverse decision, the ministry go out, and of course the dependent measures fall through; if otherwise, the minis- terial measures will, in all probability, be carried. Mr. Ewart, on Tuesday, preferred his annual motion for the abolition of death punishment. The honorable member gathers strength as he proceeds, but he has yet much to do before he has hope for success. Treland. The private letters and newspapers received from the West and South, are partly filled with the deplorable accounts of deaths by starvation, in all the horrors which have ever marked that awful eondition in the Western workhouses. The pau pers are dying in hundreds. In truth, matters are getting from bad to worse. The task of reading the provincial organs of repeal has really become horrible. They are all on the same story, and set to the same delicious tune. ‘The witnesées on the part of the defence were then called to the stand, among whom were Mra. Freeman the matron of the Hall Orphan Asylum, Mrs. Eper, and | Mrs. Jewett, teachers in the same institution, who all testified. in the most positive manner, that they would not believe ber under oath; that she nad very litte Memory, very little conscience, and very little ability to state a thing as it really occurs, Mancanet Koxr, a servant girl at present in the ploy of Mr. Frost. testified that Mr. Frost never t any liberties with her, improper or otherwise, exe: ence. when he put his hand on her shoulder as she w etanding by the sideboard ‘The testiinony was here closed, and Mr. Lewis, coun- sel for the defenee eummed up briefly, in which he alluded to the known character of the girl, which was # baci one in point of veracity, and concluded by asking the court to heid her tor the erime of perjury. us be ho one would be safe from her attacks if per- mitted to goat large. ‘The plaintiff's counsel replied inavery bricf manner, Thereupon the court said : “In regard lo Mr, Frost, be ix at liberty to go as soon The writ of error, in the case of Smith O’Brien and others, is to be heard in the House of Lords on the 10th inst.

They were, however, pursued, captured, and brought back. Shortly after, the crew of the ship being called upon to perform some duty, they refused to turn out and obey the orders of the officers, in consequence of which, about thirty of the leaders were confined !n irons. A court martial was being held on board the Ohio, and it was tho opinion that Commodore Jones would hang a number of the consp') ators. “There was much disaffection in the navy. « All the officers of the sloop of war St. Mary's had been tried by court martial, save two.’” The U.S. steam propeller Massachusetts arrived at San Francisco, on the 25th of March. Owing to the immense number ef people arriving at San Francisco, the whole country was considered ina very insecure state. There was a great want felt for the presence of an adequate military force, and for the extension of the laws of the United States over the territory, in the absence of which, much trouble was anticipated.

The Picayune expresses fears for the safety of the city.

The Cholera at the West. Baxtimone, May 16, 1849, ‘The western papers are filled with reports of the ra- vages of the cholera at St. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, on the steamboats of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and among the California and other emigrants who have taken their way westward, The disease appears to yield to prompt treatment; but on the steamboats, where medical assistance cannot be readily obtained, the mortality is very great. On board of one boat, upon which there were a large number of Mormon passengers, there had occurred twenty-one deaths. Sr. Lovis, May 16, 1849. The cholera in this city is slightly decreasing.

The rainy season has fully setin. Chagres riv has risen to such a height, that, before this reaek you, the Orys will go up as far as Cruces; ar without doubt, all emigrants will have to go by t way of Cruces to Panama, as the Gorgona road now so muddy, it is hard to get over it. In consequence of a disregard of the local ¢ thorities in the vicinity of Panama, recently, several lawless persons among the American e1 grants, communications have passed between t Gevernor of the province, Tomas Herre and Mr. Nelson, the U. S. Consul. The ( vernor, after giving some details of the dv culty that(had occurred, and the breacit’ the peace committed by the Americans al ded to, reminds the U.S. Consul of the tre: Sap between the United Statesjand New G nada, by which it is stipulated \that citizens either republic shall be held amenable to the la of the other when within its territory, and reque the co-operation of the U.S. Consul in secur the maintenance ot the peace by the Americans the Isthmus, &c.

We subjoin a few extracts from the Puna: Star of the 29th of April:— {From the Panama Star, April 29, Discracerut Row.—A disgraceful row occurred, Sunday night last, at a faudango held inone of houses fronting the Gathedral, which resulted in infliction of divers wounds upon eight or ten perac several of whom were Aimericans. It is difficult to judge which party is censurable the origin of the fight, so many representations given by the persons engaged, as well as the spec tors, It seems, however, that it was not accidental | intentional; a lot of small coin having been thro upon the floor among the promiscuous crowd dancers, intended, and successfully, to get up scramble for the money.
