SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER NIAGARA.
About nine o’clock last evening we received a despatch
from our Baltimore correspondent, dated Sept. 6, 5 30 P. M.i
which anniwncfed the arrival at, Halifax, on Wednesday!, at|
<J, A. M. omthagteamer Niagara, bringing one week’s
k r l ;*t*rrTforTrT urope. ‘ jj
The intelligence brought by her, if correct, will be unwel-j
jme to our citizens. The Hungarians, it is said, have
Men totally defeated, arid Georgey and his army'have un-i
eon l itionally surrendered. The worst featureof this sarren-)
rl, ris the suppositioff that he had been bribed. Kossuth, the
noble Kossuth, still holds out. His wife and children, how.
ever is in the hagilsofthe Russians.
The accounts front Hungary are most disastrous. A-l)
Hungary has surrendered unconditionally, with small excep-i
lions.. *
Advices Horn the Cape of Good Hope to the 15th July had
been received. The vessel which left Bermuda with John
Mitchell, the Irish patriot, had not arrived. There was
groat excitement at the Cape in consequence of the determi.i
nation ofihe British Government to send convicts to that colo-j
ny. Several government officers had resigned, and those
who took their places were driven nwav by the people, and
their houses demolished. The military were brought into
the scene of action, and several persons were wounded he- I
fore the rioters ;verc dispersal. It was thought there would ■■
be serious disturbance upon, the arrival of Mitchell.
Rome. —The PopeV Cbmmissioners for Rome were al
ready assuming despotic* powers. They had repealed all |
laws since the 18th, and hud dismissed all persons who j
served miller the Republic. The people of Rape were great- J
fly exasperated, and a formal ibjfc ‘insurrection was anticipa
ted. Cannon had been plant’ and •in the -streets to shoot down j
the people it they attempt! and to rise in rebellion.
There is said to- be a misunderstanding between the Pope
and French government.
FURTHER ACCOUNTS BY THE NIAGARA. jj
The intelligence from the seat of war in Hungary is most
disastrous. The Hungarians have been deflated at all |
points. The details relating to these unfavorable results’
iiave not been fully ascertained. It is known, however, (hat
the Hungarians have been forced to lay down tie ir arms,
and unconditionally surrender to the Austrian and Russian
powers.
Vienna accounts, via Warsaw, state that the Hungarian
Dint, having surrendered its power to Germany, dissolved
itself.
A meeting ajlerwards took place between Georgey, Bern
and Kossuth, when it was determined at once to put an end
to this waras sanguinary and useless. Georgey, address-;
ing the council, said he had no hope for the cause of Hunga
ry—that nothing hut utter ruin would attend the prolonga
tion of the struggle. the war party headed by Kossuth, (
Bern and Loadinge, members of the Hungarian Parliament,
it is said, have already entered upon Turkish territory.
Georgey surrendered himself to Prince Paskiewitch, on
condition that ho would intercede with Austria for himself,
his troops and his country. The number of troops said to
have surrendered with Georgey, amounted to 27,000 men
and sixty guns.
1
Vienna letters of the 17th, state that Kossuth intends hold
ing oat to the last, and has issued a proclamation announc
| ing ihe transfer of his Government from Fead to Orehova.
where he is now protected by the Hungarian army.
I The Russian papers publish a letter from Prince Paskie
witch to the Czar, saying that Hungary is at the feet of your;
j Imperial Majesty. The insurgents have transmitted their
power to Georgey, and he has made an unconditional sur
render to the Russians, and that his example will be followed.
The submission of the Hungarians and the important fact
. of the termination of the war, had no effect on the transc
jjtions in public securities in London. The English securi
nties fluctuated but slightly. Consols for account closed at
,j'J3i{ to 93j.
Cholera. —The official record shows a continued increase
|jof mortality, arising from the general prevalance of cholera.!
jiln the London districts, embracing a populatipn of about 2,-i
11 000,000 souls, the deaths from all djqpyses hryve risen since
~4he lust week from 1,909 to 2,22(!>Wft‘iW t |, e deulha from
cholera have been successively 925, 823, anil 1,230.
At Liverpool, on Thursday, the medical officer reported
Han increase in the mortality of the borough—the deaths fori
jj die last week being, from all causes, 543, against (161 the;
previous week. Deaths from cholera 572, aguinst 402 ini
|| the previous week.
Manchester has suffered a trifle more than last week, bull
‘tint so much as Leeds. There has been a good deal of mor
i tality in the south of Ireland ; but Scotland exhibits a very
; decided improvement. In Paris it has re-appeared, hut noli
i yet to an alarming degree. In Holland, and especially Am.i
sleitlain, following ilia course ol water, the mortality has!
j been very severe, lu other parts of Europe, the disorder 1
has abated. ;
The political news from England is devoid of the least in’
Merest, and the same may be said of the Frenoli and other
| continental news. There is nothing of sufficient interest to
warrant its being reported by the Telegraph.
Franee. —There is a complete lull in French politics. !
j M. Pierre Bonaparte has been tried for his late assault uponj
M. Gustier, and fined 200 francs,
j The first meeting of the Peace Congress took place on 1
| Wednesday, in the great Hall of Cicile in Ohaussee de Au
• tin. About 1,509 persons were present—the celebrated
Victor Hugo in the Chair.
The flags of nil nations adorned the Hall. The Stars anil
Stripes of the United States occupied a conspicuous position,
floating side by side with the tri-color of France and the Eng :
lish Union Jack. Mr. Cobden nnd his party were received
wish applause, and the American gentlemen were saluted
; w/th enthusiastic cheers.
[ | T *' fi namea of panics who gave in their adhesion to the
1 principles of the Congress were read, and tfi?*? M. Victor!
| rfugb made his speech, amidst intense applause. It is de-1
I scribed as an exquisite piece of composition, and replete with)
j the most benevolent sentiments.
It is understood that the French Government have ex
pressly forbidden the speakers from making any nllusion uH
| passing politics.
The French Funds continue steady.
Rome. —Affairs in this city are getting worse. The French
Cabinet has become disgusted with the conduct of the Cardi
j nals, and have given notice to the Pope, that should revolu-
I tion ensue, as a sequence of the odious measures of his Com
missioners, France will not interpose. The Paris papers;
say that the French Cabinet has also notified the Pope that!
it will enforce the reforms promised the Roman people, fiy!
force of arms if necessary. France also insists on having r!
voice in all acts of the Papal government, and will resort to’
arms if they are opposed. It is thought trouble is at hand.
Commercial Summary. —ln every department of trade
there has been a steady business going forward, and the j
j commercial advices generally, by this steamer, are essen-1
jtially the same as those brought by the Caledonia.
| The price of Cotton is still advancing and large sales arei
daily effected.
I Accounts from the manufacturing districts continue of a
[satisfactory character, all branches of trade appearing to be!
full employed. In Manchester there is a lively demand for
[every variety of Cotton goods, and the accounts from India’
[will doubtless give a further impetus to the trade.
Under tfie influence of favorable weather for harvest op-|
.orations, and the increasing probability that the’crops wilt j
generally bo secured in good order, and that thejmrvest will!
be considerably above the average for several years pust, the!
! grain trade has continued dull, undquiccs have a downward
tendency. V.;*

Singing. — Though but a poor singer, yet I have a habit of
singing when alone. A little thing sets me off—u bit of j
green on tite earth, or a bit of blue in the skies. Yes, yes,
l like singing, and often sing with my heart when my lips’
are silent. 1 like to hear a milk maid sing ih the green
meadow when her heart is so happy that she cal\ not help it. \
i love to hear a song uncalled fir. Who birds to,
| sing ? I hey sing to relieve their heart, and this is the sort!
of singing that I like. 1 love to hear a loud Hallelujah, not
I by the clear musical voice of one who is paid for it, hut by a
thousand tongues singing with the heart and unijerstanding.
You shall have my favorite sorig. I sang it in my youth
and in my manhood, and now I am singing it ia my years.
When all thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
j Transported with the view, I’m lost
In wonder, love and praise. ,

Summary*
i Good News. —’The Rev. Baptist W. Noel has epenlv
avowed an attachment to Baptist principles, has been bap
tized and become the minister of a congregation in Gray’s
Inn Road, London. We learn also from good authority,
that a work on baptism will shortly appear from his pen.
The Bible for California. —Mr. Fredrick Buel, a licen
tiate of the Congregational Church, went out in the Empire
■ City to California, as an agent of the American Bible Socie

learn that the cholera is raging among the Northwestern In
dians to an alarming extent, it had disappeared from among
the Southern tribes and those outlie South Arkansas river..
The Indians along the Missouri riym- continue greatly in
censed against the whites for in trod item g-ih% epidemic a myng
them, and were committing daily murders ou the inoffensive
inhabitants, out of revenge.
Destructive Overflow. —The Red River Republican, of the
21st ult., g-ives the particulars of a late-terrible overflow in
that vicinity, and estimates the damages at-five millions of
dollars. That paper states that not over 30,000 hales of
(Cotton will be made in a section of country whore 130,009
(were produced last year.
j OtrTho Christian Chronicle announces that Rev. J. P.
jTnstin, of Warren, Rv 1., has accepted the call of a Baptist
church in Savannah, Ga., and that lie will assume his charge
on the first of October.
Georgetown College. —The Georgetown I IcraMvays—The
j Rev. Doctor Malcom, who lias presided over Georgetown
j College for the last nine or ten years, with such distinguish-
ii ll ability, and general satisfaction, felt it his duly to vote for
j the Emancipation candidate, at our late election. ‘The storm
|of disapprobation was so violent, that it was plain he could
(no longer be of use to the college, and he has resigned his
;officn.
The.office has not yet been filled, and wo fear that the
i’Trustees of the college will find it difficult to fill the vacan
cy occasioned by the resignation of an officer, so faithful,
and so devoted to the interests of the College, as President
Malcom has been.

OCrThe Caterpillars have made their appearance in great
numbers, on the plantation of Major Hayward, in the vicinity
of Tallahassee. ‘They have also been discovered in lam*
quantity on oTfier plantations, but there is no longer any doubt
of the fact of their appearance and will in a few days be able
to enter upon their work of destruction.— Tallahassee Sen

Bombarding by Balloons —lt seems to be the serious in
tention of ihe government of Auslriu to try the effect of atri
al warefare upon the rebellious cities of the empire. Ex
periments ore being made to tost the practicability of born
banting towns from the air, and the balloon practice is said
lo answer perfectly. Some hundred balloons are already in
process of completion. They are made capable of holding
sixty pound bombs, which will tall from a prodigious height.
This novel species of attack will first be brought into opera
tion over Venice. If successful there, the fortresses of Co
rnorn and Peterwardein will probably sharo the benefits of
the discovery.
Water Spout. —We are informed that on Thursday, Ihe
2d inst., an immense water spout fell on Lookout Mountain,
near Alpine, in Chattooga county. It is said to have made
an impression in the earth thirty feet deep, and forty or fifty
wide, and that it the largest forest trees, and re
moved rooks weighing several thousand pounds.
Not long since one of considerable size fell on the same
mountain, not far from what is called (Stephens’ Gap, that
(lid considerable damage to the timber, and made a hole in th#
ground about three feel deep and eighteen or tweoly feet in
[diameter; and, what is more astonishing, the sid> sos the
are as perpendicular and smooth as il the tyork
had been done with a spade.
j This curious phenomenon is produced by counter currents
|of air coining in contact with each other, producing u rotary
motion similar to whirlwind. Tito lateral pressure of the air
(condenses the fluid and gives it great power. It is said that
(waterspouts upon tho ocean are much dreaded by mariners.
I They can sink the largrst vessels.— Ringgold Republican .
Atlanta Intelligencer says that the foundation for
a large Engine house, fur the use of the Georgia Rail lload
Company, was laid last week. The building, with the ex

Engine house is a polygon of 19 sid< s, with a diameter of 140
jleet. There will be attached to it a wing, for a workshop,
]2OO feet in length and 40 in breadth. From 30 to 40 hands
are actively employed on the building. The whole, when
(completed, will present quite an imposing appearance to the
; spectator.
Remedy for the Diarrhoea, —1 ask the favor of having tho
(following remedy inserted, which has never failedof curing
the diarrhma, so prevalent this season :
Burn a cork, and with the ashes of the cork mix some loaf
. sugar and grated nutmeg; and with the addition es a.small
quantity of brandy, form all these three ingredients into a
black paste. A teaspoonful of this mixture, or black paste,
to be taken several times in the course of the duy. In twen
ty four hours the most violent attacks of dtarrhwa wilfbe
arrested. The remedy is simple but certain, and by check
ing the premonitory s;. -nptoms, will prevent cholera.
