National Fast. ‘This day is to be observed throughout the Union ae Fast Day. In nearly all the Northern States, the Governors, Bishops, and Mayors, have issued their Pproelamations urging the people to be governed by the reeommendation of President Taylor. This is not the first National Fast Day. There Ihave been ten or twelve since the Declaration of Independence. There were eight public fasts dur- mg the revolution. There was one in August, 3812, another in September, 1813, and another in Janwary, 1815; and there were eight or ten Thanks- Bivings ordered by Congress during the early pe- nod of the republic. The recommendation of President Taylor is, therefore, no innovation in this country. ‘We have given the proclamations of the Presi- of Gov. Fish, and Mayor Woodhull, ia ano- ther column. We hope and trust that the people will be governed by them. An American Fixer Orperep To Havana— | ‘Tae New Oxieans Anpuction Case.—It appears | that Commodore Parker has been ordered to pro- eed with the home squadron to Cuba, and de- mand the release of the Spaniard, Francisco Rey, who was abducted, as is alleged, from New Or- Jeans, through the instrumentality of the Spanish Consul at that port, and conveyed clandestinely to Havana. This promptness is very commendable, and we rejoice at this action of the administration fn the matter. Commodore Parker should not | nly demand the release of the Spaniard, but should likewise obtain reparation for the insult which the Spanish Consul offered to our flag. The pride of the Spanish government of Havana will, no doubt, be touched by this movement on the part ef our government, and they may possibly re- fuse our demand, and show fight. We hope they will, and that it may be necessary to thrash them inte doing mght. If they do, we will have a e@hanee of cending General Scott and a few mus. ‘tangs to Cuba, to try the mettle of the Cubans. We hope, too, that the admmistration will take proper notiee of the interference of England with the rights of American citizens in Mosquito. Mr, Abbott Lawrence, of Boston, will not, it is said, goen his mission until the month of Ocwber. B however, is not a fit person to ma- mage such a business. Iie wants the ne. eeesary talent and mind. We ought ‘to havea mpecial mission for the purpose immediately, or authorize Mr. Bancroft to settle the matter, al- though he is almost too much English in his feel imgs, having been too much praised and courted by the aristocracy of that country. The whole power of me government should be invoked in the matter, rather than permié the British govern. ment to earry out ite views in regard to the drunken and besotted protégé of theirs, the boy-king of Moequito. We should also despatch a minister to Nicaragua, to consult with ite government on the subject, and unite with it in driving the B-* 5 . fn . aestish away. This mattow st not be allowed to get old, for the insidious government of England are mo doubt playizg a deep game there—one that, if not nipped in the bud at once, may give us a great deal of trouble hereafter. The administration made a great mistake in re- gard to the expedition in search of Sir John Frank- thn; but they can retrieve themselves by acting promptly towards the government of Cuba in the exe caee, and that cf England on the Mosquito question in the other. Fausu Tereoraruic Rerowrs.—Scareely a day passes but, in looking over our Western exchanges, we find complaints of false telegraphic reports from | ‘their own immediate vicinity, published in the New ‘York papers, and especially with regard to the cho- Jora. We have for rome time noticed that the reports | frem St. Louis do not at ull correspond with the | official reports published in the papers of that city. | ‘The Pittsburgh Gazette, of the S0th ult, complains of the manner in which the cholera reports of that | ity are exaggerated; and most justly; for while the epidemic was prevalent in that city we often re- ecived despatches of from twenty to fifty deaths per day having ocenrred, while the whole number, from the first appearance of the epidemic, has not exceeded one hundred. If the reports generally are not more reliable than those alluded to, it would be better to do entirely without the aid of | the electric transmiseions, and wait the arrival of | the news by the regular maile. We would advise | all coneerned to be more careful and particular. P. 8.—Before the ink was dry, in recording the above false telegraphic reports, the New Orleans | papers come to us complaining of a report published | im the papers of this city, of the defaleation ef the e@ashier of a bank in that city, and the trial of ano- ther citizen for forgery, neither of which were known in New Orie Whe is it that causes tthe telegraph to commit euch blunders? com Warren. | lot the purpose of Moan Mowxy ano Pati meeting was held last evening ONE WEEK LATER. EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE, ARRIVAL REGEIVED BY THE or THE STEAMSHIP CAMBRIA, AT HALIFAX, Overland Expreas to St. John, N. B., THENCE TELEGRAPHICALLY TO NEW YORK, he. de. Se. Sr. Jonr, N. B. Tecacrarn Orrice, Thursday Evening, 8 o’cloer. } ‘The Cambria, Captain Shannon, arrived at Hali- fax at 3 o’clock this morning, and will be at Boston at 4 o'clock P, M. to-morrow. She brings fifty-six through passengers. ‘The European news is seven days later than pre. viourly received. ‘The Cambria spoke the Niagara about 15 haurs out of Liverpool, and on the 4th day out passed the packet ship Shannon, of New York. Commercial aflairs on the 21st July, eonti- nued active, and the business done during the week ending at that date, has been large and in general at improved prices. ‘The produce markets are well supplied, a healthy feeling continues to prevail, and a fair extent of business has been done at steady prices. Cotton bas continued in favor, at advancing prices, and money, to a considerable extent, is being invested in the article. The consumption of cotton is now greater than it was ever knowa to be, and the conclusion of the armistice between the Germans and Danes just announced at Lon. dow, will doubtless increase the present demand, | At Manchester and other manufacturing marta, the market has been firm, and spinners, influenced by the buoyant staté of the cotton market, have claimed in many instances an advance of half- | penny per pound, and additional prices have also been demanded upon goods. ‘The prospects of the harvest throughout all parts of the United Kingdom are encouraging and sati~ factory. ‘The reports from the eontinent of Europe relative to the state of the growing crops are conflicting ; but, upon the whole, the appearance of the growing crops is encouraging. Allthe leading grain markets of England are dull, and prices, as the harvest approaches, show symptoms of a decline. ‘The metal trade is firm, and within the last few days there has been an increased demand for all kinds of iron. Scotch pig has advanced two shil_ lings per ton. Money continues abundant, and is readily ob- tained at 2024 per eent. The funds have con- tinued steady throughout the week, and English eecurities have an advancing tendency.

Although numerically considered, the hostile forces are of appalling superiority, the Hungarians are very far, indeed, from being in any desperate extremity. A Turkieh ambaesador in Paris received a de- spatch on the 19th anst., by courier, announcing +t the Polish General Bem had again completely defeated the Russians, under the comtmand ot smell remnant of his army. ANOTHER VATTLE—THE MAGYARS REPORTED TO BE DEATEN. Advices trem Vienna of the 18th of July state, that Bada-Pesth surrendered to the Austro- Russian troops on the 11th inet. without resistance. From a report of General Hegnau, addressed to the Em- peror of Austria, it appears that a very sharp coa- flict took place on the Ith before Comoru, be- tween the combined armies and the Magyare. The Hungarians fought with furious impetuosity, but the Austrians claim the victory. Another, and probably a more reliable account of this battle, states that 180 pieces of cannon were brought into the field by the Hungarians, and the Joes sustained by the latter in artillery and men, may be estimated from the circumstance, that several of the guns had to be eerved latterly by the Dutchmeistu infantry. Nothing could be more complete than the defeat of the united Russo-Aus- trian armies under Hagaau., He was obliged to fall back on Raab, where hie head-quarters are at present, and which city is filled with wounded. He has been obliged to send 3,000 wounded to Presburg. But for the timely arrival of the Rus- 8 to cover hie retreat, Hagnau and his staff would have been taken. As the Ban Jellochich lately demanded by a flag of truce the garrison of Petuwardin to surrender, the commander of the garrison replied:— “1 know well how affairs stand, and that the so. ealled will sooo Sod himeelf surrounded, and, my, be destroyed. Bem has colieeted all his troops near Szegedin, to make head against the Russians. The Ban holds the enemy in check, making euccessful scrtier. | * Cemorn will soon be invested.

Galdna and the‘envoy of Piedmont in London, who always writes to procrastinate as much as possible the de- finite arrangement of the Austrio-Sardinian ques tion, are the causes of the delay. On the Ist of August the chambers are eonvoked and if they are anumated by the extravagant spirit of the preceding Legielature, they will at onee di- vert the King ef the power of speaking and pro- bably drive him to a renewal of hostilities. Roman Affairs, POPE PIU’ CONGRATULATIONS AND PRAYERS POR THE FRENCH ARMY—UIS ANTICIPATED RETUKM TO THE RTERNAL CITY. The Pope has addressed an autograph letter to General Oudinot on the occasion of receiving the keys of the City of Rome. Tis Holiness con- gratelates the General on the triumph of order in Rome, and expresses his hope that Divine Provi- dence will remove the difficulties that may atill exist. He adds that he does not cease to direct his prayers to heaven fer the General, the army, and the French nation. The letter was dated Gaeta, July 5. Cardinal Picoli and the Marquis Sacchett: arrived in Rome from Gaeta, on the 9h. The laiter is Grand Chamberlain of the Apostolic Palace. Preparations are making at Rome, which lead tothe impresmon that Pius IX. is expected soon to return to the Quirinal. All the wounded have been removed from that palace. ‘The French are doing all they can, distributing money, &e., to get upa ery in his favor, butin vain. DISCONTENT AMONG THE ROMAN TROOPS. The Loman troops, who had agreed in the first instance to do duty conjomily with the French, are all leaving, and the whole force remaining now amounts to less than 1,000 men. Ot these, many were unxious to leave, but Gen. Oudinot would | | | not give consent. The Pope’s engineers having | | been atked tomuke a demonetration in bis favor, | | preferred quitting hisaervice. ‘Thirty out of forty- | three reeigned, and all the rank and file were dise | banded. The same occurred in the artillery—all the oflicers having resigned with the exception of three captains and a sergeant. The reason given is, that the French authorities refused to give them any promiee or guaranty as to the protection ef the righte of the people. THE ESCAPE OF GARINALDI. Garibaldi has succeeded in making his escape good from the French division, who were put upon a false ecent, and he is now on the mountains of Arbuzz. Previous to his departure from Rome, he had secured the ammunition and military stores. Another account states that Garibaldi is on the Neapolitan frontier, where he has been joined by another body of fugitive troops, and formed, it is | know that not one-half of the said, a body of 20,000 men. THE BESIEGING OPERATIONS AGAINST VENICE DIS- DONTINUED. ‘The beseiging operations against Venice | been discontinued, in consequence of tne fata valence of fever and sickness amongst the Aus troops, by the excessive heat and hard work. ‘The American Cnargé d’Aflaires has been cor pelled to take down his arms, in consequence of his house having been foreibly entered by the | French patrol, in pursuit of two deserters. The Freneh Repubite. PROCEEDINGS IN THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMLLY. The committee of the Legislative Assembly, to which the question of the prorogation was referred, has come to the unanimous decisien of recommending that the Assembly should be pro- rogued from the 15th August to 15th October. The budget will not be brought forward unty after the meeting of the Assembly in October. MOVEMENTS OF THE SOCIALISTS. ‘We learn from the Department of Eure that the Socialist agents, undismayed by previous reverses, are still very active in making proselytes among the peasants. ‘THE PRINCE CAKIKO ARD LOUIS KATOLEOR. ‘The National announces that Prinee Canino, the eon of Lucien Bonaparte, and ex-President of | | the Roman Constituent Assembly, has been ar- | rested at Orleans, by order of the government, on | his road from Mareeilles to Paris. 1t is ead that | having a claim against his cousin, Louis Napoleon, | r money lent in aid of hie election, the Prince | ¢ to France to demand it, the cousin's conduc, | | against Rome having stirred up hie ire.

All these purposes are | wery good, very patriotic, and very generous; but during the last few months we have not forgotten tat over thirty thousand dollare was collected in ‘this country for the Irish cause, and that by the Jast return made by the committee, it was acknow- ledged that twenty-five thousand dollare of that gamount was remaining ix the hands of Mr. Emmet | and his aseociates, as sound and safe depositories flor what bad not been expended.

CHOLERA IN GREAT BRITAIN. In the debate which took place on the 20h, in allusion to the cholera, Lord Ashley, the chair- man of the Board of Health stated in the House of Commons, on ‘Tuesday last, that he had reason to were reported; | enough, hewever, 1s officially known to render it certain that the epidemic is raging in many parts ef the country to adreadful extent. During the lust week 389 deaths by cholera were reported in London, which is more than double the number of the preceding week. At Bristol, Plymouth, Portemouth, and all along the whole of the south eoast, it is raging ina very malignant form, and the mortality 1s very great. At Liverpool the dis. euse is rapidly increasing; the number of cases repoited for four days previous to Thursday, were, respectively, 64, 74, 85, 102. Scotland continues to be generally exempt from the scourge. 5 Miscellaneous, Mr. Macready, the actor, liting, a shortly publish, an edition « *s work “Whe Btate of ho Markets. | Liverproor, Corron Manrxgr, July 21.— The on for the week ending July 20, to 76,490 bales, of which speculators took , and exporters 7,500.

At about a quarter past eight o’clock, yesterday morning, as the early tram from Philadelphia to this city had reached Clarksville, about two miles the other side of Princeton, a terrible accident oc- curred, which has, ere this, carried mourning inte many families. ‘The facts, as near as our reporter could learn them, on the spot, were these :— At the place where the accident oceurred, there is a turn-out, leading to the bunk of the Delaware and Rantan Canel. For the purpose of making this turn-out available, there is, of course, a switch, which, when turned in the proper direction, will not interfere with the direct progress of the ears» but which, when occasion requires, will lead the car or care off from the direct track and conduct them, of necessity, to the brink of the eanal. Te guard this switch and to prevent accidents, the company employ a man, who, with his family, live near the spot, and whose sole business is to see that the switch is kept ina proper direction. Ae the cars were passing this spet, yesterday moramg, the engineer perceived, when too late to avoid the accident, that the switch was turned the wrong way, and that the cars were fast making their way for the canal.» The engine was immediately reversed, but the impetus was too great—the speed be- ing some thirty miles per hour—to prevent disaster. Shocking to relate, the engine plunged headlong inte the eanal, dragging after it the platform ear, on whieh was the freight and baggage crates, A tremendous concussion, of course, ensued, and the first and seeond patsenger cars came in violent contact. To use the ex pression of a witngss to the terrido scene, they were dovetailed together, ‘The scene or horéor that evsued may be imagined, but eaunot be definitely described. Both ears were filled with passengers, and the bodies of those passengers, of course, interposed between the cracking and breaking parts of the cars. The enginver leaped from his peri jous position, and escaped anburt; the forward brake- man remained at his poet watil the very lavt moment, when, sceing that he could do nothing to avert the ea- tastrephe, he also leaped off, and was injured but slightly. ‘When the coneussion had taken plaee, and the pas- sevgers had time to recover their breath, their ears were assailed by the most piteous cries of distress and implored aid. The conductors of the train and the pascongers immediately set about the work of release and receue, when a shocking picture presented itself to ther view. Here &® niangled corpse, there a wound- ed and writhing man, and again @ helpless woman, shrieking with agony and covered with blood, met their view. The work of destruction having had ite away, the work of mercy commenced, and in a eompa- ratively short timo, all the surviving victims te this un- fortunate aceident were released from their position ia the cars, and removed to places where their wants might be attended to, and their wounds properly dreas- sed, On easting about, it was found that Mr. William Conover, of Trenton, superintendent of repairs on the ported.
