The Latest IntelligenceeAnxiety of the Pub- Me=The Steamers at Sea. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD, From hour to hour the very serious anxiety felt, espe: cially by tho German population of Now York, ia inereas- ing with respect to the fate of the Hamburg steamer Aus- tria, and the news which we have from Halifax about the steamer seen burning inthe ocean has increased this sorrowful anxiety in the widest circles of our population, Two hundred and twenty passen- gere, among whom are a great number of American German families, who have been on a visit to their old home for the last summer, are on board the Austria, and never a steamer brought from the conti nent of Europe so valuable a freight, consisting in a great partof velvet and silk winter dry goods. It therefore must be of high interest to the readers of your widely circulated paper to know whether the rumors as to the safety of the Austria are real or imaginary. The burning wreck was seen in latitude 45 12 longitude 41 8, Greenwich, Now, the Hamburg steamers coming from Southampton to New York never take such a southern direction, for the main lines generally pass in Jatitude 45 deg. to 51 deg., and longitude 42 deg. 42 min, These steamers always go as far to the north as possible, in order to evade the east current of the Gulf Stream, and get into the north at the drift stream, In these northern latitudes the winds are generally blowing in a westward direction; therefore the Austria could not be seen so far to the south, All the re- ports that we have from the steamers that arrived from the tenth tothe fifteenth of this month state that the winds have blown southwest, which would bring a ship more up to the north, The delay in the arrival of the Austria would therefore find an explanation from these storms, We also hear that the Austria left on the 4th inst. at o'clock from Southampton, and from the rate of speed at which the Hamburg steamers from South- ampton, for the first six or eight days out, generally go— eleven or twelve miles an hour—the Austria would, on the 16th inst., have been more to the west than lon- gitude 41 48, We must also take into account that a fire, broken out on the eleventh or twelfth of this month on board a steamer, would retard her progress; but it is mueh more probable to have been a steamer from New York, because the point where the Durning steamer was geen is exactiy on the line of the steamers running from New York to Europe, and the southern deviation of this line, making it only fifty to six- ty miler,can be explained by the direction the Guif 3tream would give to the burning wreck. The burning steamer is reported to have had a walking beam. The Austria hod no walking beam, and if that report be true the lost vessel cannot be the Austria. Ihis also reported that the steamer seen had a red bottom, but the Austria has a black bottom, with a white line. If we put together all these facts and circumstances we at least have a right to hope that the ship seen in flames was not the expected and missing Austria. Among all the steamers that run between Europe and America none bas amore experienced captain than the Austria—Captain Heidtman—or a more judicious engincer, ‘The delay in her arrival gay be explained by storms or a disarrangement of her screw. The Hamburg steamers have generally forty days provisions, and have coals sufficient for thirty days on board. Therefore the delay can be of no danger to passengers. The Austria carries eight large sized Francis’ patent life boats, and material on board to build four more; im the worst case these would be suffl- cient to save a good many passengers. If this misfortune to the Austria should be true, the greater number of pas- sengers probably are saved from the vicinity of the Azore Islands, and the fact that the Gulf currents would bring boats Ww those islands.

The storm yeeterday compelled the proprietors of the Fashion Course to adjourn the races which were to have taken ploce, until Monday next, 27th instant. The public, however, were not disuppoltted, as notices of the post Ponement were placarded at (he principal ferries in good season in the morping. The racing stables, however were visited by numbers of amateurs during the ory, who were anxious to Pee the borses wud elicit such inform.tioa In regard to further proceedings as it was possible to ob- tain. The horses were fownd to be in fine condition; but opinions at regards the wiuner of the four mile race w contlicting, and wo one seemed to be an especial favorite. ‘There will be # judicious change tn the programme on Monday—the day t which this cace is postponed—oue of the sweepstakes preceding, tustead of folowing the four tile race, which wil! not take place until a quarter past two o'clock, Uins allowing ample time to reach the track by the one o'clock train of cars. The four mile race is looked to with encommon interest, as three of the best horses in this country—Nicholas, Sno Washington and Tar River, all five year olde—will contend Jur the houor of « four mile victory: @ race that we hold to be purely Ame rican, and one which Joun Ball, with all hie pretensions ond boasts of . mericnn iuferiority has not been able to realize on the ky ylieh tort Case of General Superintendent Tallmadge.

New Yor, Sept. 4—Evening. ‘To THR AssocLATED PRERS:— Accompanying this I beg to hand you copies of recent communications from the honorary directors of the At- lantic Telegraph Company and myself to Mr. De Sauty, the chief electrician at the Trinity Bay office, Mr. De Sauty’s answer will be furuished for publication without unnecessary delay. I deem it proper to state, as the result of my inquiries concerning the despatch of Thursday from Trinity Bay, announcing the resumption of perfect signals through the cable from Valentia, that the announcement was made through a despatch from the superintendent of the land lines in Newfoundland to the agent of the Associated Press, and was unquestionably reported in good faith; but as the information has not yet been confirmed by Mr. De Sauty, who alone has full knowledge of all the facts, T regard the statement as possibly premature, It is con- Jectured that the shore end of the cable at Valentia must be taken up for a distance of several miles, which, by reason of bad weather or other unayoidable diffleul- ties, may ocoNpy twee or four weeks. The depth of water withtm éwe hundred miles of the Irish coast ranges from about fifty to four hiodred fathoms, and it is not doubted that even two hundred and fifty miles of the cable could be raised if deemed necessary.
