I saw the ruins of this costly sc heme along the road ns 1 came down, and it is enormous. It consisted of numerous costly houses for the machinery and thousands of toii3 of cast iron tubes. lam sor ry to say the experiment has totally failed for the present, and the only article that has traveled rapidly by atmospheric pressure seems to have been money. This has went at a prodigious rate for in a very short time they have expended the enormous sum of four hundred and fifty thousand pounds sterling. By Telegraph to the Baltimore American. FOREIGN NEWS BY THE AMERICA. St. John’s, N. 8., August 8. The steamer America, Caps. Harrison, arrived at Halifax yesterday at 2 o’clock, P. M., with one week’s later intelligence from Europe, bringing 53 through passengers, Paris dates to the 2Gth. and London to the 27th ultimo. Her news reached this place at 12 o’clock M. to-day by overland express. She will be due at “New York on Thursday afternoon. Liverp>oU -July 28.—Commercial affairs during the p ;St week have presented no feature requiring particular remark. The prospects of trade continue to improve rather than oth erwise. Appearances seem to indicate that business will con tinue active. The accounts from the manufacturing districts are alto gether satisfactory. In Cotton and Woolen Goods a fair busi ness is going forward. The Overland Mail from the East has been received, with (lutesfrom Canton to May the 23 1, Bombay to June Ist, and Calcutta to June 7th. The business season having for the most part closed, Indian commerce is quiet. Rreadstvjfx. —From all the principal markets there is a lim ited demand and prices for most articles are downward—the result of confidence that crops throughout Great Britain will meet the highest expectations. Cotton Market . —After the arrival of the Hibernia a specu lative demand for Cotton sprung up, but after the receipt of the Overland Mail it assumed a less active tone. On Tliurs day and Friday the Market was quiet, and common qualities of American were a shade easier. This feeling, however, was confined to few quarters—general confidence being enter tained by both spinners and dealers. Produce A moderate business has been done in Produce at full prices. Money Market. —The Money market is steady and Consols maintain their value, having fluctuated from 92| to 93 J- — American Stocks maintain their activity. We quote U.

It is admitted, however, that Jeflachich, the Ban of Contra, has been completely defeated } Hie Magyars and Bern, who, it appears, crossed the Trouse anal at the head of 50,000 men and took the encampment of j. Croats by storm. After a series of conflicts, which lasted tour days, they compelled the Imperialists to raise the siege of l eterwarden and evacuate’Braska. The froops of the Ban, nspiiitcd by defeat and sickness, could make no headway against those who were marching from the South. The Im perialists fear that Bern will succeed in entering Servia and dim. t Fhe Ban has been driven over the Shamble into Ser 'ia. Tne Chief Knickadine has been forced to abandon his position at Zitil. General Haynnn has gone with the third V 1 l >n to . tbe support of the Ban.

The bulletin says then nrmn ‘fu ‘ be Hungarian army marched upon Waitsen, back t t'- ’^ U tbe Russians, who, according to orders, fell stron? n ue . eno . m y advanced. At night Georgey occupied a SETS Defore Waiteen. His army, estimated at 44,- mominr,'h"ii h 120 ~leces of artillery, was attacked the next ofth, I t bythendv,,nce guards under Sass, but the aitillery cannnn * ans toiled every attempt to dislodge them.

Gen. Romberg cavalr} was despatched in pursuit, tho irl e accounts say that Sass had abandoned Waitsen on the riv,. Bnr ‘Georgey, marching along the left bank of ll ? ‘ook up n strong position near AVaitscn. At thi^ juncture Dembinski’s army of 40,000 men, slowly edging away from the mining district, came down upon Sass, who wa9 compelled to retreat to Dona-Keph. midway between Waitsen and Pesth. General Romberg, learning at Pesth of the defeat of the Russians, hastened to their support and suc ceeded in stopping the progress of Dembinski’s army, which eventually fell back upon Waitsen. The main body of the Russians, in the meanwhile, came from Rontres and its whole strength brought to bear upon the Hungarian flank, which led to a great battle ending in the defeat of Dembinski’s army. Georgey led his ffoop9 to the North and not to Comorn as was generally believed. It is said that Georgey will turn off to the East and march to Kais. The Austrian Commander-in-chief had advanced with the main army to Pesth, leaving one division in the Island of Hulh. The divisions under Grabbe and Schlick are on either bank of the Danube, for the purpose of laying seige to the fortress of Comorn. England. —A Inrge and enthusiastic meeting was held at London tavern to express public opinion in regard to the efforts being made by the Hungarians for independence, and to urge upon the British Ministry a recognition of the defacto govern ment of Hungary. It is mentioned as a significant fact that a Quaker moved the first resolution, which proves that the efforts of Hungary are fully appreciated and understood, when they thus overcome the scruples of members of the Peace ciety, who in their speeches, instead of using expressions of sympathy, boldly propose to old Hungary by taking up arms against Austria. The meeting became highly excited, and rose as one man and shouted for war. The petition adopted by the meeting was laid before Parliament and elicited an in teresting debate upon Hungarian affairs. France. —Serious dissensions exist among the majority of the Legislative Assembly, and the legitimists Have determined to recede Irom the ranks of the Bonapartists and Orleanists, ! and form a separate party for themselves. The articles which of late have appeared in the Legitimist organs show it. The tendency of thhrmovement is to unite the factions on the part of the Due de Bordeaux and would seem to betoken the exis tence of an extensively organized Legitimist conspiracy. The French Government has received a despatch dated Baden, 23d July, announcing the surrender of Rastadt. The Prince of Prussia entered Rastadt at the head of two regi ments. Italy. —lt is announced that the troops who recently re ceived orders to embark for Italy, and were recalled after the account of the surrender of Rome, are to be embarked for their original destination. Rome is under the military rule of General OudinoJ, and order and tranquility prevail. Ail public acts are rendered in the name of the Pope. He continues living at Gaeta, but be yond the fact that he will remain their until after the accouche ment of the Queen of Naples, nothiug seems to be known. It is said he will afterwards proceed to Rome, fully clothed with both temporal and spiritual authority, and that the priest hood around him, having learned nothing from past misfor tunes, resolutely refuse concessions to the popular party. — Nothing is saidas to how the French army is tube paid, but it is reported that Russia has agreed to lend his Holiness two millions without interest, the principal to be paid at the rate of half a million annually. Letting Value of Land in Ireland. —The greatest depreciation in the letting value of farms has, as might nave been expected, taken place in the western province. In the poorer description of soils, in Mayo and Galway, so great has been the change since 1846, that large tracts had been neglected, because the amount of poor rate and county cess often far exceed the value of the land. But even in the rich grazing lands of Ros common the increase of the local taxation, and the decline in the price of cattle, coupled with the stoppage of the conacre system, has produced a depreciation to the extent of full thirty-five per cent, and in many instances to a much greater amount. A week or two since a splendid grazing farm on the estate of Lord Crofton,i:i Roscommon, which had let under an old lease at two guineas an acre, and for which four or five years ago a consid erable increased rent might have been obtained, was reletat £1 6s. per acre. But the poor rate in the electoral division has amounted to 12s# lid. in the pound, besides a county cess of 45., in which latter was included the repayment of an instal ment of the loan under the labor rate act. In the southern county of Limerick several lots of prime land, previously let under the courts at <£3 per acre, have been recently let to new tenants at the greatly reduced rent of £l. If, however, the present harvest should prove abundant, and the potato should escape, there can be no doubt that we should soon witness something like the former competition for farms, and an increase in their letting value. Even as is, there has been some improvement in this respect within the last month. — Morning Chronicle correspondent* A Siamese Introduction.—\N e intend no person al or political reflections, but they had, and still may have, a most singular court custom at Siam, the origin and nature of which is thus described : Sakee. King of Siam, being awaked from sleep, and saved from assassination, by the braying of an ass, commanded, in the ardor of his gratitude, that all mankind should be called asses. When ever, so the chronicle relates, an ambassador from China came to the Siamese court, the Okya Vang, or Master of the Ceremonies, exclaimed, “Most potent Sakee, absolute Lord of the Uni verse, King of the White Elephants, and Keeper of the Sacred Tooth, a Great Jackass from Chi na has come to speak to your Majesty. A Good Answer. —The Mobile Tribune tells the following story of Jemmy Maber, who has so long been the gardener at the Riesidential mansion Washington : Gen. Jackson had heard rumors that Jemmy was accustomed to get drunk and be uncivil to the visitors at the White-house; so one bright morning he summoned him into his presence to receive his dismissal. “ Jemmv,” said the General; “I hear bad sto ries about you. It is said that you are constantly drunk and uncivil to the visitors. Jemmy was puzzled for a reply, at last he said : “ General, bedad, I hear much the same stones about you, but do you think I believe them ? No, by the power, I know they arc all lies. During the last cruise of the United States ship Independence, there were forty-four thou sand eight hundred and thirty-five lashes (44,835) inflicted on the crew, at a time when they were engaged in dangerous services on the Pacific coast. — Chronotype .
