Stit,—The Austrian■ ca ,not deny th:t Jellachich
has been beaten, and repu'sed towards the frontier ;
and, m'reover, that the Russians have experienced a
cheek, on the 17th, near Wsitzen, and on the 19:h
near Atzot ; fir.ally, that Gurgcy has cample•ely
fiustrated the plans of tha Aus•rian end Russian
generals. The Vienna periodicals, wishing to
avoid the confession of Austrian weakness
before foreign countries and the exchange, have
outvied themselves in inventing the most ab-
surd news from the theatre of war. Tuey, for
instane, relate that Jellachich has beaten Guyon; but
it so happens that Guyon dots not face Jollachich,
but is o-eupyitg a pwition on 'ho middle Theis.
They also tell us that Gorey fled from Waitzea to
Marmarocs, but it likewise happens that Masmerocs
is situated at the extreme frontier of Hungary to-
wards the Bukovina, whilst Go-gey, cuttiug the
Ruleiana' lite of retreat to Gallicia, went towards the
banks of the Tin be. According to the a lure papers, it
is now CL nerel Grotenhehn, near Bistritz, then Gene-
ral Litters, rear Fogaracs, who have beaten the Hun.

why the two generals, in spite of their repeated
victoria s, do not move from the ir places, cud have not
vet cenui.ied the impartant positions of Dees cud Her-
manstaat. One of the Vienna papers, three weeks
back, continues to report daily that the Russians
advanced from Orsova to ImAos, and that Klausen-
burg was taken by another Russian column. All
those news are, of course, nothing but false rumours,
for the invention and epreading of which nobody in
Vienna has as yet been broueht before a court.
martial. But whosoever at Peath dares to
affirm that Arad is in possession of the Han-
g sriane, and that the Ru-sisns could not
nave retaken it, fur the simple reason, that no Rus-
sians at all are in those environs, is to be shot,—
according to Haynau's last proclamation. The
capitulation of the fortress of Arad is remarkable,
inaemueh as it shows, how ►klful the Austrian
g ,vernment is in concealing any check that its army
encounters. The fortress surrendered on the 24th of
Jane, and the Austrian papers and bulletins k-pt
'silent about this fact until the 16th of July, and the
foreign papers in spite of the evident lies of the press
of Vienna, still c mfide in it; and only now, after
more then a month, confirm the event. 'Posy most
liecly will is a month or to, at last believe that
Teme,var and Semlin were likewise occupied.

I have iiht received the following report: Gorgey
ent,red Kasehau on the 22nd July, after hrving
beaten Paskieeed'ch near Amid, and Sass near la,zi
(no. far from Kaschsu). Paskiewitch retreated
toward Gyongyos and Mau, where he was welcomed
by Dembinski, and beaten near Brim' and Kapolna.
After the defeat of General Scar, the Russian garri-
soa withdrew from Kascban, and Geirgey found there
30,000 Russian equipments. The Russians expe-
rience great want in Transylvania. A Colonel Mi.

MEETING OF ITALIANS RESIDENT IN LONDON.--•
PAPAL Poitem.—L at evening a meeting of Delius seal.
dent in the Metropolis was held at the Western Literary In-
stitution, Leicester-square, " for the discussion of the religi-
ous qua stions involsed is the present state of Italy, and of
urging the people to protest no longer against the
pope mercy, but 'salost the system of popery its-lf." The
proceedings were conducted according to the rules of public
meetings in Italy, and were throughout of a most remarkable
character. The speakers addressed the audience in the
Italian lenxuage, and With much violent gesticulation. The
ladies, of wh.,m a large nambcr were present, took an active
part in the di-cuss on of the questions brought under consi-
deration, many of them rising to make observations on the
respective addresses. Signor G. T. Vignsti took the chair,
and the meeting was addressed by the Cavalier Fermi, Signor
Raffaello di Roma, Professor Gabriel* Banetti, Slur Boo-
colossi, Signor SUM/X.lli, and ether gentlemen. Signor
Mappei thought it was no longer of any use to oppose the pope
as an individual or as &temporal prince, for he believed that
the whole system of Roman catholicism tended to degrade the
people. and obstruct the prr peas of their political icdepend-
ence:.They wise ed to be wits ttered in their acknowledgment
of one faith, one Lord, one baptism. In fact, they wanted to
get rid of the whole political machinery of the courch of
Mome.—Signor Meppei enlarged upon these topics amidst
constant interruptions from all parts of the meeting. So
great was the eiaturbance, that the police were frequently
called io to quell it. Several gentlemen (1 !slow Roman
catholies and advocates of the present arteml were forcibly
expelled when they essayed to express their opinions. In the
midst of the confusion that ensued the following resolution
was adopted : " That this meeting, highly condemning u ty-
rannical, infamous, anti-evangelical, and Impious, the con-
duct of Pope Pius. IX., invites all the Italian patriots to fo'.-
low the true religion of Jesus Christ, as followed by their
ancestors, throwing aside their Papal church, which is con-
firming against the liberties of the people."—A TOW of
thanks to the cie Luau closed the proceedings.
Novni. Fteentno.—On Friday week a gentleman
from Yorkshire had a day's fishing with the aid of cormo-
rants at the foot of Windermere Lake. The buds captured
a Win in moot, weighing three ponds, and several eels of
' various sizes. It appetite that the cormorant has a strong
predileci-n for eel', and villain take any other fish while
they are to be had.

U. r Majesty's arrival was announced by the firing of gams
as the batteries of Spike Island, and when the rept yacht
hove in sight several large bonfires were Spitted in Tea-
bolos, the residence of B. B. Roche, Esq., M.P., and other
places.

The mayor's proclamation informs the citis as that that
entry procession will not take plans t ll to.lllOrrew.

THE VACANCY IN THE REPRESENTATION OP
ILIDDISMISSTISS.—KIDDISMINSTSR, FRIDAY ITINO-0.
The sadden and unexpected death of Mr. Godson has put

named as candidates—the Hon. S. H. Lyttleton, Sir T.

THE MYR STORM AND THE GROWING CROPS.—
TPDINI lefamaation derived from nauseross olanee in the east
riding and several in r orth Lincolnshire up to Tuesday last,
it appears that on a very large portion of the welds, and to
• considerable event upoa the clop, the bay harvest wes at
its height when it was suspended by the storm of Sunday
last. A considerable weight, but not near half the crop. had
been cut, end that which had been led prim to or in the in-
tervals between the rain, was obtained in good condition.
But the quality of all that was either cut, or nearly ripe for
enteleg, when that stoma cams on, has been greatly, and it is
believed, irretrievably damaged. The storm appears to have
visited, with almost equal intensity, all parts of the east
riding, varying in the period of its commencement from
three to six, and in some places eight to nine o'clock. For
several days previous is this storm the weather hod been
vedette, there having been about 81edmere, not en* day tree
from rain ter a fortnight, whilst some parts of the riding
had had rain daily for a week, and again, in some parts of
Holderners, the cessation of moisture for two days enabled
the farmer• to dry their hay on Friday, and lead it on Sa-
turday. The quantity mown and exposed to the storm of
Sunday, and to the subsequent heavy showers, le considera-
ble. Whilst the amount. from all parts of the riding. and
from Lincolnshire also, represent a great breadth of wheat
as being laid by the storm, none of it was in such a state up
to Tuesday morning as to excite any aporchensim. The
crop was in fact too far advanced to be injured by being laid.
The wheats, fly are this wet le spoken of es heavy coop..
No ether grain had suffered by the storm, but it was c doe-
lewd that bsth turnips and potatoes would be greatly im-
proved thereby, show the wetnese not he prolonged. We
could give reports from about a score different places ; they
all, however, with a few variations se to detail, bear out this
general view. Pulse is also improved by the rein. In fact,
on little effect had the storm up•n our market on Tuesday,
that it faded to prevent a step downward in prices, occa-
sioned by the solicitation of imports item the continent.—

THE FORTHCOMING HARVEST.—Although, within
the last few days several heavy Moline' have descended, the
general state of the weather hos been of each a nature an to
hasten the several descriptions of cerise to a state of maturity
and to sanction the opinion thst the harvest, which promises
to be very bountiful, will, especially on the higher soils, be
much earlier than had at one time been expected. A large
number of Irish reapers in march of employment bays
reached this town and neighbourly od in large end small
parties ; end, so far as personal appearance goes, present the
usual characteristics of former years. The late rains have
produced a wonderful effect on every description of produce,
besides that of corn. The several postures, and particularly
the meadows, have assumed a phataot green hue, and the
after grass is making moil progress The same remark &p-
-ith( s to the turnip lands ; and the beneficial change which
has recently been product el in highly gratifying to ;
while the several p 'tato crops have shared in the general be-
n fit, and warrant the hops that, with the connauance of
favourable weather, the produce wit be abundant, and of •
superior quality to that of the last few years. In short,
everything at the present moment promises es favourably as
could be reasonably desind.—Doneaster Gazetto.

MONEY MARKET.

FRIDAY ET7ININO.

There was an evident fla.neva in the home funds at
the comm,nciment of business this morning, partly
ascribed to the po'itical icteliigence from Sardinia,
but on the receipt of the new.. from Paris of the con-
tinued progressive risa in the Reettis, which closed at
an advance of 1 per cent. on the previous day, our
stocks assumed a more buoy ant tone f.x he I emainder

log price. Canaria for me ney were variously done

The premium or. gold yesterday at Paris was 10
per mille, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 25 391 ; and the exchange at Paris on
London at short being 25.33, it follows that gold is
0.19 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.
Be adyices to-day from Hamburg, the price ef gold
is 437 per mark, whiLh, at ,he English Mint price of
31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 13.11; and the exchange at Hamburg on
London at short being 13.101, it follows that gold is
0.11 per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London.
The course of exchange at New York on London
is 1081 per cent., and the par of exchange between
England and America being 109, 23.40 per cent., it
follows that the exchange is nominally 0.83 per
cent. against England; but the quoted exchange at
New York being for bills at sixty days' sight, there is
a difference in interest en sending gold to New
York, which added to the charges of transport,
would produce, in the final result, a loss of &Wet
