B., ina dense fog, in six hours. The telegraph wires were found to be “deranged,” and the heavy fog on that night pre- vented the possibility of putting it in order before yesterday morning. This preveuted the publication of the nevs in yesterday's Herald. ‘After the commercial advices had reached us, it was announced that the Caladonia had arrived at Boston, but the atmospheric electricity and the interruption of House's line, prevented us ‘rom receiving but a very Little news additional to that published in our after. noon edition of yesterday.

She left Bremerhaven on Saturday, the 11th dnstant, and encountered @ tremendous gale f:. «a the southwest nearly the whole time of her passage.

The accounts from Vienna are of much interest, The entrance of the Hungarians from Comorn into Raab is fully mOrmed. and they only differ as to the booty which was secured in or near Raab by the Mag- yars. ‘The greatest alarm was excited in Vie: and Pres. ‘burg, as was stated by the last accounts, by the news of the advance of the Hungarians, whose outposts are said to have apponred in Weisselberg, midway between Raab and Preeburg, towards ;Vienna. All the troops ‘that could possibly bespared from Vienna were imme- diately despatched by railway to Presburg, and, as it was said by the last steamer, many of tho soldiers, who ‘were raw reorvits, left with very great discouragement hd reluctance to march. A continued battle on the 23d, 24th, and 25th inst., took place between the Russians and Hungarians, near Miskolez, on the left bank of the Sajo. It seems that after the battle, Georgey, the Hungarian general, quit- ted bis position, and the Russians, a good deal out ‘up, followed him; but where the Hungarigns were, doos mot appear very clear, whilst the Russians have, after = march of great danger and difficulty, crossed the ‘Theiss, and have taken up # position near the banks of Nured, probably Karad, a short distaneo north of To- kay, on the banks of the Theiss. The French government, it is said, have reoeived in- formation that Austria had applied to Bavaria for miil- tary assistance, and that the latter power was about to gend 50,000 troops to protect the Austrian capital.

At the last sitting but ome, during an Incidental dis- eussion, arising out of an application to prosecute two representative fur seditious libels published in the pro- vines, an elderly member, M.

In the neighborhood of Liverpool, a good desl of rain bas fallen; but in the southern part of England the weather has been very fine, so that the labors of the husbandman hed not been sensibly interrupted, and, upon ¢ hole, there is every appearance that the harvest will be abundant. ‘The weather in Ireland, however, has undergone = very unfavorable ohange. In the neighborhood of Dub- In, the corn fields have suffered greatly from tne ex- cessive rains, and we regret to say that in most dis- triots in the the south there are signs of the potato Gisease re-appeariug. However. from the very imper- fect reperts hitherto brought under our notice, we do not believe that the mischief.extends beyond a few lo- calitics. ‘The Queen's visit to Ireland has terminated with the eame enthusiastic delight with which it commenced. Her Majesty, after visiting the Duke of Leicester at Carton,’on the 10th inst, returned to Dublin, and thence proceeded to Kingstown, where she embarked — ning. The farewell of the Dublin folks seems to have been of a most animated and chivalrous | character—the Queen acknowledging the testimonials of loyalty expressed by the multitude whioh witnessed her embarkation, with more than accustomed warmth. She waved her handkerchief, in token of the satisfac- tion she experienced; and again and again was the royal standard lowered, asthe signal of her acknow- ledgment of the parting reception she had experienced ‘The royal entry into Glasgow took piace on Tuesday, thel4th inst. The authorities presented the accus- tomed address, the Scotch showing as much enthu- siasm as the Irish, The Commercial Intellige In Liverpool, on the 18th inst., a marked improvement in nearly every branch of business had taken place, and the existing rate of foreign exchange was likely to con- tinue.

The advices from the United States respecting the ensuing cotton crop were considered very unsatisfac- tory as to the yield, and had, consequently, operated in favor of holders. The demand was goed, and largo sales were daily reported. Om Saturday, the 11th, and Monday, the 13th inst. large sales were made, at the extreme quotations given on the 10th. As soon as the Caledonia’s news came to hand, on | Tuesday, the market assumed an animated appearance, and holders at once sought higher prices. Before the close of the market of that day, quotations of America: were $4. higher than on the 10th. The following day, the 15th, large business was done et a 6:ill further advance, On Thursday, the 16th, the market had a somewhat subdued appesrance, but the advange was fully main- tained. The sales of the week, ending August 16, were 83,190 bales, of which speculators took 33,320, and ex- porters 7,000. The Comuiittee’s quotations were, on the 17th, declared to be 6)¢d. for fatr Upland, and 5%d. | for fair Mobile, and 6% 4. for fair Orleans, The American descriptions sold during the past week were 13,730 bowed Georgia, 65d. to Xd ; 11,730 Mo- bile, Alabama, &o , 57d. to 43¢d.; 83,020 New Orleans, 49(d. to 63¢d., and 470 Sea Island, 834d. to 21d.

The sales this year have also considerably increased, and more commercial activity prevails at Havre than for along time past. Ship building, however, is by no means in a flourishing state. BREADSTUPFFS. The market for breadstuffs is dull. The hope of a timely and abundaut harvest causes dealers to supply present and pressing wants only, At the Liverpool market, on Tuesday, the 14th inst , wheat of all descriptions recedod about Id. to 2d. per bushel. Flour sold slowly—the betver qualities reulizing former terms, but secondary sorts were 64, per barrel lower. Subsequently the market remained steady, and we now quote prime sound parcels of American flour at 28s, Gd. to 258.; while inferior uninspected is dificult to sell, at 188, to 208. per bbl. American wheat sells at $s. 6d to Ts. per bushel; Indian corn, on the other hand. has advanced 2s. to 3s. per quarter, the late ex- treme depression having brought increased demand from Ireland, with come speculation, The quotatioa is 270, to 266. per quarter for yellow, and 28s, to 20s, for white. ‘The price of bread in Paris was rather on the rise notwithstanding the reported harvest. MONEY. The Bank of England returns furnish no especial, subject for remark. The bullion on head hat again slightly decreased, from a domestic demand for coin at this reason of the year, Money continued abu ndant, with rather more demand for discounts. Silver had again risen in price, and its relative higher value to gold will probably be main- tained from undoubtedly increased production of the latter metal. In the funde fair amount of business has been tran- sacted. ‘The French funds were well maintained, and in many brancl of trade there was # decided improve” ment. MISCELLANEOUS. The demande for most descriptions of metals had im- proved, and a large business was going forward. ‘The most recent advices from the manufacturing districts speak encouragingly of trade in both cotton and woollen goods. ‘The reports from Amsterdam and Hambnrgh are eat- isfactory, and should the hostilities which are now cat ried on between the Austrian, Huagari ad Russi forces, coon be brought to a termination expect a further improvement in many depart: business. There was a moderate but steady demand for Amori- can provisions. Prices, generally, were well supported At the weekly sales held on Tuesday, the 14th inst., 260 boxes of bacon sold at 30s. to 339. 6d for long middies, and 26s. 6d. to 209 for short.

Laxe Ontario, Srgamnoat Cataract, Aug. 29, 1849, } The President's Mlness— Probable Conclusion of his Towr— Notes by the, Way, from Erve to Oswego— Business mm Buffalo—Canadian Annexation— Steamboats on Lake Ontarw, &t., &c. The Preeident’s illness, at Erie, has of course entirely unsettled his plans as to continuing his tour, and it is now believed he will not pay Buffalo a formal visit, but pass through it as rapi‘ly as possible, as soon as he is sufficiently recovered, and return to Washington by the way of the Lake, Oswego, &c., as privately as he cam. The fatigue which he has undergone already ean scarcely be imagined. Riding in a hot sun all day, and kept up half the might, it can scarcely be wondered that he has found the exertion too great. Besides this, he has an antipathy to medicine, and it is only in extremzs that he succumbs. He may be the Alleghanies, he found a few customers a shade “rougher,” and it was perfectly agonizing to see the unfortunate gentlem an’s arm worked for hours ala pump-hondle, by way of displaying, we sup- pose, how much the pumpers thought of him. We sincerely trust he will not further overtask his strength by prolonging his journey at the preseat time, and we know the people, much as they de- sire to see him, wili cheerfully forego the grati- fication, when they consider that to continue his | tour at this season would be at the expense of his health, if not his life. ‘ The town of Ene, where the President is stop- | ping, possesses but few attractions. It was fiaished sume yeurs since, end has all the appearance of anuquity and decay. ‘The ** Reed House” is a very tine building, nearly as large as the Astor House in New York, but it is most wretchedly kepi—scarcely anything to eat—miserably fur- nished, dirty. It possesses but one qualification in keeping with its size, and chat is the landiord’s bill, whe is certainly of autedilavian dimensions. The cholera appears to have depressed trade everywhere. During the last few weeks, we have | | | | the Union, and find everywhere the same com- plant of ‘dull times.” Bufialo, usually se bus | vised a number of the most important cities of | thng, is now as quiet as a boarding-school miss mahsng her first appearance ; and her magniticeat | steamboats present but a beggarly account of empty berths. This + ite of things cannot, of | course, long continue. The immense West, of which Bufialo is the great entrepot, must have its | usual supply of goods, and the tiour aad other pro- duce which is received 1a exchange will soon fill | the warehouses, and employ the elevators to their | utmost capacity. | : : There are many interesting objects in and about | Butialo, and not the least is the celebrated * Plat- | form,” which was constructed about a year ago. It is now, however, in a very dilapidated coudi- tion, and it is not improbable ‘its decayed trnbers may be the cause of the epidemic prevailing ia the place to such an extent. . The editorial fraternity of Buffalo is a “ whole team,” and we are under personal obligations to many of thenr for their kindoess and attention. Messrs. Clapp and Wheeler, of the £xpress, will accept our thanks especially, and, shouid it ever be in our power, we will endeavor to reciprocate. From Bufialo to Niagara Falls, a new track has been laid of heavy H rail, and it is now equal to | any road in the country. With new cars, and the polite attention of Mr. Minton, the conductor, the trip, formerly 80 unpleasant, is now a deligh:ful | one. Fort Schlosser, of Canadian rebeilion | memory, is still an object of some attraction, aud, as you gaze at the old barn, you cannot help think. ing that, the gallantry of the Canadian forces, un- | der the command of the bombasue Mr. Allan, M‘Nab, w outon a par with the strength of the old “fort,” or barn, aad you irresistibly ad- mire the courage which must have been necessary | to cut out a small unarmed steamer, aud murder | its crew, at the dead of night, as it lay moored to one of the posts of the old bara in Schlosser. The Falls of Niagara are almost deserted this season, and the hotel keepers are in a deplorable fix. The Falls themselves, however, don’t appear to mind the fluctuations of fashioa or tuste, but thunder away as loudly as ever. The grandeur wgara iso thrice told tale, and we e able, inflict a stugle syl- lable in description of the foaming torrent. Sul! we may be pardoned, having thus given our boad not to perpetrate the poetic, if we touch on the use+ he want of enterprise displayed in permit- ting the waste of such vast water power is certainly unaccountable. Wath the exception of some huff dozen small manufacturing ertablishm: is no use made of the power, How dufhe have been the state of things if any of the New Englend States possessed such abundance of na- tural wealth—the whole length of the river would be studded with thriving manufactones and crowd- ed with busy artisans. At the Fells we met with several Canadian gen- tlemen of both political parties, who conversed freely upon the condition of the provinces. Bat one feeling seemed to animate them, and that was discontent at their present condition and a desire for change. They cannot help contrasting county with their own, and the weakest intellect can understand their iafesiority, when they find i the river commanding but seventy-five cents a bushel, and immediately op- psite, in this eouniry, readily bringing a doilar. bh ¢ this side traversed with railroads and all the evidences of prowperity—they turn their eyes homeward, and find neither railroads, capital, nor enterpriee; but in its place a sortot bastard royalty, for which they are obliged to pay twice as much as we pay the President of the United States, a rf ment about being an “ integral part of the Britie! Empire,” and a system éailed “ reepoasible go- vernment,” by which they have full liberty to govern themselves—in & Pickwickian sense, Tut although we believe the feeling of dissatis- faction and divcontent is wide spread, aad, uf the truth were known, almost univers in Canada, we still think that it will require some accidental circumstances— some element not now in operation, before any change is made in the present condi- tien of things. Like a heap of gunpowder, Canada, unless lighted up by some spark, mer remain for years in her present inert stete. This does not arise frem ay want of courage or even general intormetion, but trom the absence of anything hike concerted action, snd the buter party apirit whichalwoys flourishes ina peculiar degree among provinerlists. The ery of “annexation” is get- ting to be almost a housebold word in Canada, however, and the merest chance may bring such | anevent ebout. Let Canada but obtain her inde pendence, and she will be received into this Union as A preat State, whove future prosperity may be unlimited, The very fact that the ministerial party in Caneda desire, so earnestly, reciprocity wil this country, 18 4 distinct avowal of the advantage which « federal union with us would be to them. | The great element of our prosperity haa mainly been the commercial unity which exists betwixt | all the States ; and if Canada devires to reap the | advantages of such a union, she must also partake ibility, and the sooner this is under- mood the better. a Passing down to Lewiston, over some ten miles of what it would be libelious to denominate a rail- rood, we embarked on board the steamboat Oata- Tact for Oswego. The Cataract belongs to an American line of boats which run between Le wis- ton and Ogdensburg, touching at Oswego, and thus connecting with the railroad to Albany and Troy, or the steamboats te Montreal. She is commanded by Capt. R. B. Chapman, who, with the atientive clerk, Mr, Randall, does everything in his power te make his passen; comlortable. The Cata- Tact presents a striking contrast to the British sieemboats alongride, bor Ard but favorable to the latter. She isa beautifully modelled boat, and clean to a favit. The Rochester, Capt. Mussoa, runs in connection with this line, from Lewiston to Hemitton, in Canada, and displays the star span- ws banner ro the admiring gaze of the Canadasns de ‘To appreciate the refreehing breeze, and the deep magnificent blue water of the lakes, one requires to be shut up in the mountains and smoky atmos here of Pittsburgh, as we were, for several days.
