The mails by the steamship Hibernia arrived in this city last evening, and we are enabled to place before our readers, this morning, a detailed ac- count of the very important and interesting Euro- pean intelligence which that vessel conveyed to our shores, a synopsis of which, by telegraph, ap- peared in our columns yesterday. Sanguine as were our hopes for the continued suc- eees of the Hungarians over the Russo-Austrian forces, we were not, we confess, prepared te hear of such mighty results having been accomplished by them as those which came like an avalanche upon us _yesterday—results, the importance of which it is impossible to overestimate, and which may, and we hope will, exercise an influence in Europe, that will yet disenthral that quarter of the world, and rekindle the flame of revolution throughout Germany, Italy, and extend perhaps even to the British Isles. When Louis Napoleon, President of France, turned traitor to the glorious cause of hberty—when he disregarded the pathetic appeal, and eloquent assertion of mghts withheld, and numberless wrongs committed, which was pub- liched to the world by the Hungarian leaders— when, instead of favoring the republican move- ment in Rome and the Italian States, he took the part of despotism, and used the financial and mili- tary resources of the country fer the reinstatement of a sovereign upon the throne from which he fled, thereby making enemies of those who were the warmest friends and admirers of France—when we and gallant Hungarians, single-handed, and relying upon their own strong arms and stout hands alone for success, contending mantully against Austria, and afterwards against the combined power of both Austria and Russia, we could not help exclaiming, those same devoted, noble, and generous Hungari- ans were destined to triumph over all impediments, re-action which had set in, and perhaps eventually 10 be the deliverers of Europe. The question will ere long be decided. Austria is conquered, and | prosecuted much longer by the enemies of the Hungarians, while the Hungarians, on the other hand, are not only numerically stronger than they | were at the commencement of the struggle, but are posseesed of that confidence which continued vic- The prospect now is, that the Hungarians; can maintain their ground for any length of time, and that any force, or any number of men, which the Russo-Austrian alliance may be one-third of them even, to get out of the Hungarian ' territory with their lives. Such, then, being the view ahead, the results | which the continued euccesees of the Hungarians may effect, become matters of the highest import. ance te Europe, and to the world generally, The Piedmontese government has refused yet to ratify the treaty with Austria, and a renewal of the war in that quarter may break out at any moment. They have been enceuraged to take this course, no doubt, by the spectacle which Hungary presents. men to assemble on the Hugarian frontier, to pro- tect the Turkish territory. Poland will, no doubt, | be up in arms ; and, to crown all, we hear of move- | ments in Russia itself, intended to overthrow the existing order of things in that country, and esta- | blish a repubhe in hea of the present form of | government. Twking all these things into consi- | deration, it really seems probable that the Hunga- rian movement mey yet revolutionize the whole ot Europe. Their successes form the first decisive | blow that despotism has received in that quarter of | the world, since the breaking out of the French revolution. They show, too, conclusively, the | rottennees and weakness of the boasted Russian power. After all that was promised and threatened by the Ozar, after his pompous declaration issued in euch magniloquent language, what have his mih- } tary wretches been able to accomplish before the ns? Driven out of the Hungarian territory, andgfiying in disorder betore the foemen whom they threatened to annihilate with a single blow, they seek safety in flight from the fate which they would inevitably meet by a further stay in Hungary. This is indeed glorious, and all honor to the noble Hungarians for it! That success may continue to await the Hungarians, is the prayer of - | all true friends of liberty throughout the world. ‘agon We perceive that an attempt is being made by the socialist organ in this city, edited by Mr. Ph - losopher Greeley, to identify the Hungarians with the socialists and red republicans of France. No~ ; | thing could be morejunjust or more ungenerous. Sociahem has made no progress in any partof Ger- many, and there does not seem to be any likelihood hat it ever will; and, least of all, in Hungary. The German people, generally, are of too practical a charseter to be led away by the wild vagaries of the socialists, of either France, or their brethren and imitators in the United States. They are of a tolid, thinking disposition ; and while, im common with the rest of the world, they deplore the defects of the present organization of society, they wil! not so far forget themselves as to engage in any at- tempt tending to overthrow that system or substi- tute in its stead a new-fangled one —the emanation of fanatics and theorists with empty heads and Jong hair—which, instinct teaches them, would en- tail on them evils and calamities that would be in- eufferable, and perhaps result as the efforts of the recklees socialists in Fra have, in bringing re- publicaniem into contempt, and driving all timid | people to the support of a go ment depending on le military strength for continuance in power, and whicw ys not the embodiment of the will of the people Livery arrivel from Europe, for some time to come, will be anxiously looked A succession of tidings similar to those which we received by the Hibernia, for a few months longer, will, in all probability, decide the great question which is now saw, in the midst of those sad things, the noble | that it appeaped to be the will of Providence that | to regain their nationaltty, to turn back the tide ef | her ally, Russia, is crippled. The war cannot be | able to send against them, will be unable to con. | quer them, if, indeed, they should be so lucky, or | The Porte has ordered an army of eighty thousand | | S years of age, Of the deaths from cholera, 8 were at issue in Europe. If the Hungarians continue successful, there is no knowing to what it will lead. Great things were augured from the de- thronement of Louis Philippe, but the world has been disappointed in the realization. Equal im- portance is to be attached to the Hungarian move- ment. New York is determined, at last, to unite in some movement to assigt the struggling Hunga- tians. A preliminary meeting will be held this evening, at which measures for calling a great mass meeting will be adopted. Tue Paciric Maw Sxrvice.—It appears that the mail steamers on the Pacific do not proceed to Oregon, because the government requested that they should not de so for the present, but the mails are conveyed there in sailing vessels. Owing to the crowds in California, and the desire to have frequent intercourse with San Francisco, the Ore- gon mailshave been sent up in vessels, in erder not to create any delay in the movements of the steamers. Now that matters are becoming regu- lated in the Pacific, the service will shortly be per- formed in the steamers. Notwithstanding the con- fusion everything has been in in the Pacific, the mails have averaged one trip per month since they commenced the service.

In the violenee of this conous- sion, the starboard side of the boat, the railing and part of the eovered part, leading to the cabin, were oar- ried away. By this railing sat two young Irishwomen, one by the name of Catherine Clinton, and the other Julia Brady. The former is a domestic in the family of Dr. Stone, No. 30 Waverly place, and the other atthe Astor House. These two young women were seated together, each on @ kind of staunchion or block of wood, which projects from the deck about eighteen inches, on the side that the boat struck the dock. The instant the boat struck, the eo jon tremendous, Cutharine Clinton beiug nearest to t coneursion, sprang to her feet and run towards th front or centre of the boat; she then fell on the deck, without injury, Julia Brady was unable to escape, The shock was instantaneous, and in the careening of the boat against the spiles, one of the projecting epiles struck the deceased on the body, driving her against the upright beam on the boat, smashing her person and severing her right arm from her body, at the should nd integuments, nd shawl were poor woman was killed instantly. A gent! ard was badly, if not mortally i peared to be injured in the b.ck; his hands, ‘also appeared to be much injured, He was taken from the boat, placed in @ earri: nd conveyed to his residence, No. 135 West 17th street. Several othe We understand, were injured more or less, but not in so serious @ manner. On the dock, hanging to the spiles, was found half of the bodice of the deceased’s frock, her green veil, and a portion of her shawl, It is supposed that several have been dragged overboard, as the front part of the boat when coming into dock is geveraliy pretty well crowded. ‘The deceased was a servant at the Astor House, and, with Catharine Clinton, she had brea te take t ea with a Mrs. Gorman, the sister of deceased, who resides in John street, Brooklyn, and it was on their return home that the fatal affair took place, The deceased is 26 years of age, and a native of [reland, As soon as the accident was announced, Alderman Kelly. of the 2d ward, was promptly on the spot, ren- dering most essential service in the regulation of all the matters necessary on such an occasion, until the Coroner, Dr, Walters, arrived. ‘The police of the 2d ward were very active in render- ing every assistance, and carrying out the orders given by Alderman Kelly andthe eorover, in keeping good or- der, as a very large concourse of people had eollected er to ascertain the extent of the calamity. e body ofthe deceased was placed upon a cot in the cubin ofthe ferry boat, and the boat ordered to be made fast to the dock, at the ferry, until after the in- quest, which will take place at 9 o’elock this morning. bey f rumors were afloat, last evening, as to the con- duct of the pilot in allowing the boat to strike the dock in the manner as above stated, which we defer ex- pressing an opinion until some other occasion, as the whole matter will unde @ searching investigation Before the legal authorities. A lady and gentleman, whose names we could not learn, left the seat close by the unfortunate girl only an instant before the collision took place, and went into the cabin—thus, by@ mere chance of changing | their position, they were saved an untimely death. Tus Weatnen —The weather, yesterday, like the day delightfully fine. air was elastic and balmy; and the cooling breese was truly refreshing in’ the middle of August, the most sultry period of the year.

On the 23d inst., they will give a Frand encampment ball, for which prnoerations are ing made on an extensive scale.

Our despatehes from Rome are up to six o’eloek, P.M, yesterday, at which time nothing had been effected towards the coalition of the two factions, Propositions had been submitted by the com- mitees of both bodies; that of the hunkers to the effect that all questions which had here- tofore divided the party were to be waived on the organization of the Union Convention; and that the question of slavery be dropped, leaving every person to the enjoyment of his private opinion. It appears, thus far, that the Free Soil Convention have taken no notice of this proposition of the hunkers, but adhere to their previous recolutions, recognising the right of Congress to prohibit the extension of slavery in the new territories, and to abolish it in the District of Columbia—in fact, tully adopting the Wilmot proviso, as their platform. This, cer- tainly, does not seem much like compromise. Our despatches from Montreal represent that city as still continuing in a state of great excite ment. The mob, on Wednesday night, attacked the house of Mr. LaFontaine, breaking down the gate, demolishing the glass, and doing other serious damage. They were fired on from the house, and a man named Mason was killed, receiving ten slugs in his body. His funeral will take place to day, and fears are entertained that it will excite the populace to further aets of violence. THE ROME CONVENTIONS, THE BARNBURNER CONVENTION Rome, A 5—1034 P.M. ‘The evening session met at 8 o'clock. A series of re- solutions, framed by the convention of free soilers, of the third Assembly district, (Orange,) were presented and read by the Secretary. Mr. Nrv, of Madison, took the stand and addressed the eonvention at some length, mainly in relation to the farther extention of slavery. He was listened to throughout with marked attention, and hearty bursts of applause greeted him at the close of his address. Mr. Stanton was next called for, but respectfully de- elined, in consequence of poor health. Mr. Guoven then addressed the convention for an hour, after which it adjourned over until 9 o’clock to- morrow morning. Although it is impossible to say what the ultimate result of the labors of the two eon- ventions will be, the prevailing opinion seems to be that there will be no union. SECOND DESPATCH. Romy, August 16—10 A. M. The members were called to order at 9 o'clock. After the reading of yesterday's proceedings, they adjourned to wait the proceedings of the Hunker Con- vention. The prospect of a union of the two parties is decided ly more favorable. THIRD DESPATCH. Rome, August 16—5 P. M. ‘The Free Soil Convention this afternoon did nothing but receive the report of the committee, concerning the resolutions addressed to the convention by the hunker committee, and adopt the resolutions offered by Loomis, requesting the Hunker Convention te endorse the three resolution which they had sent them, concerning the power of Congress over slavery in the District of Co- lumbia and free territories; and offering te make libera; eoncersions to them in the detail, and to unite the two cconventions afterwards, for the transaction of business: An adjournment here took place till 7 P. M. THE HUNKER CONVENTION. Rome, August 16—10 A. M.

Rome, Aug. 16—6 P. M. The convention re assembled at half-past two, when the President took his seat. Order being restored, Mr. ‘aLworan, from the Comwm:ttee on Conference, report ed that the commi-tee had made a proposition to the free soll committee that, to effect a union, they would recommend its con\®2tlom to adopt the following reso" lutions: | Ist, That all avin which have hitherto divided the ‘de waived ¢Rtirely on the organization of the | Union Convention. 2d. That they agree to ad: such resolutions as have usually been passed at the democratic conven- | tions previous to the division in the party. Be it the subject Soret Ea ped, leaving every man to the enjoyment ofhis individual ‘opinion. Two hours afterwards, @ reply was received from the chairman of the free soll committee, saying that they waive the question of the regularity of the organiza- tlom, and adhere to the established democratic prinei- ples, and if the two conventions can agree upom the subject of slavery, they desire to unite in one organi- ation, He reminded the committee that the Free Soil Convention had submitted two other propositions re- | lating to the power and duty of Congress over slavery in the District of Columbia, and also in the territories, and requested the opinion of the Hunker Convention. Mr. Watwortn replied, that there could be no dif- ference of opinion with regard to the two frst resolu- tions, rerpecting the power of Congress ever slavery in In re- gard to the third, he recommended the eonvéntion to adopt the rerolutions, as he believed the people of the North were oppored to the introduction of slavery into | territory now free; but he could not consent to make that a question of party test, or incorporate it Into the dem ocratic party cf the State. The free soil committee replied that their power was limited, and proposed referring the proposition to their convention Here negotiations between the committees were ter- minated. and the convention took a recess. FOURTH DESPATCH. Rome, August 16—6 P. M. The convention came to order at four o'clock, and was notified that the free soilers had passed resolutions requiring the attention of the committee, which ac- cordingly reperated iteelf from the convention, who took another recess. yn the committee came in, the convention again came to order. | Mr. Warwonrn reported that the committee hadre- — ceived the resolutions passed by the Free Soil Conven. by them, which be read. The substance of the propo- sition was for this cony proviso by resolution, and afterwards unite with the other convention for the transaction of business; the free roilers liberal concessions in the detail. Mr. War wortw committee had pre- pared rerolutions, to the effect that as the Froe Soil Convention bad taken no notice of our resolutions and Proporitions, it was inexpedient for this convention to adopt the rerolutions of the Free Soil Convention, whieh mously. ‘The convention then adjourned until T o'clock. Later from Santa Fe. Sr. Lowss, Aug 10, 1849 A company of traders from Santa Fe, headed by Thomas A. Slaughter, arrived here last evening. bring- ing epecie amounting to $100,000.

The opinion seems to be generally expressed that the recent defaleation discovered inthe Bank of Mis} souri, is not of recent date, but has been going om for several years. The defieit of $21,000 is in assets, and not all in gold: The amount_of gold (or bulk) having been fistitionly increased s0 as to balance deficits. ‘Two years ago Major Singer received a lavge sum of money at this bank to convey to Sante Fe. It wae sealed up at the bank, but whem opened in New Mexi- 0, $2,500 were missing.
