AUSTRIA.—Vienna dates are to August 24, on
which day the following bulletin appeared in the
Wiener Zeilung from Gecerai Hay nau. It is dated
from his bead-que eters at Temeswar, on the 18th :
By the sietonous battle at Terneswer on the 9:h of Aug.,
not only was the relief of this fortress immediately effected,
but also such a decisive defeat indicted on the imurresition-
sty semy, that a further regular reeistaece in large meats
by the enemy is not practicable. The enemy en Lis retreat,
which had ail the precipitation of Bight, nom Temeswar to
Logos, leic a mass of muskets, military furniture, aunt-
tion-waggone, cannon, ant', thousands of eteegglers,
in the bands of the pursuers. The number of prisoners and
detectors mince the betties of Seoreg on August 5, amounts
already tat 18,000. An equal number Immo laid down eras,
sad beaten to their homes, so that the,ie finny cf the insur-
gent army is cVssolved.
Gaergey, who, by the celerity of his movements, contrived
to evade with his corps the great Russian army on the river
Theist, arrived by the route of Debrecain, where his rear-
guard was put to flight by the Russians, and Grosswardein
at Arad, in order to unite with tbe Magyar army of the
" south. Already he imagined himself' in safety, end the
goal attained; but the Austrian army of the Danube bad
I already relieved Temeswar, end tbicatened Arad on the left
hank of the Man%
ticergcy came too late ; for on the forenoon of the 10th
inst. (Lateral tieblick fell in with bis mound, eight or ten
thousand man strong, near Arad, debauching train that
forties", in the direction cf Temcswar, and repulsed
them wish great less beck so Arad. Hereupon Gan-
gey attempted to pre the Maros at Radna, end to
reach Logos through Lippe, end for that purpose thaw a
bridge over the river. I had, however, presided against
this by sending a column to Lippe, which immediately beat
hack the vanguard on their arrival to the other bark cf the
)hers; whereupon the bridge was burnt by the enemy. In
consequence of thew mammas** every loophole of escape
for (limey was seinped up. From Grosswardein his was
closely pursued by the Russian general of coveter, Count
Rudiger ; on the side of Tranalvaola there was the van-
guard of the &lied army at Devi, where the erstle was
blown up, end a great number of insurgents were chinned ;
and, lastly, on the lea bank of the Marlyn the Austrian
army. Thus surrounded on ell aides, Geemey, ..ith 1
whole reps now melted down to 2;,U03 men, but which wee
still furnished with as swill'', train of 144 guns, Lid dowo
arms on the 13th at Vilegos.
The fortress of And, in consequence of this, render( d
unconditionally on the 17th lost.
The &lateen army rejoice that these great repot. of the
submission of Geergey and of the forum of Arad have
been brought about by the sic battles in which they have
anguished and annihilated the enemy.
Immediately after the relief of Temeswar, I game orders
for the pursuit of the fleeing army, which had been headed
by Bem, with the 3rd corps, the reserve cola, and the
cavalry division of Welmoden. After some weak attempt'
at residence, Logos was takes by us, and the nearly ..is•
solved forces of the enemy were pursued without relaxation
in the directions of Forget and Kerausebes. The apliteng
of the retreat into two diverging Hoes proves the went Of
union and the bewilderment of the leaders of the enemy.
Everywhere ere found arm, aid war-furniture, flung away
by the dispersing bands ; of the cannons which they cannot
drag off with them the carriages arc burned, and the guns
see left.
A document has been found, to the hiindwiitieg "f
Ruh, which gives up the Metyar CAW for lest before t'le
submission at the corps of Gargey was known to him.
During the swift pursuit at the enemy, immense supplies
of military clotting and equipments, of monition! &c., to
the value of millions, fell into our hands. The minister of
finance of the provisional government. Dawheir, presented
Muriel( and delivered np au important ISM of treasure ?a
uncoined silver and gold.
On the 16-11 the south army. under the Faldrugmigter.
B+not Crow is' Bean Jellichich, effected a junction at
Giver, elms toTeireeswar, with the army of the Danube.
The bloody drams is now atom cud, and it may be metept-d
u a happy augury, that to-day, just on the birthday of our
most gracious armarch, the certainty of this consummation
end the promise of peace mai be nroelaimed.

Temeswar, Aug. 18, 1849,
The Wiener Zeitung makes the following official
commubieution with regard to Gcorgey's surrender:
Givrgey, nicer his defeat (?) at Waitzen, made, during his
retreat, repeated attempts to enter into negotiation" as well
with the Ruwisn generals, Rndiger and Teheodojeff, as with
the Prince of Warsaw. As. however, these waitten pro-
posals sued for neaca under certain stipulati ‘ns, they ware
unPormly rejected. But en the lilt a note of Georgers,
from Alt And, reached Gavial ffudiger, in which he de-
glared that, in consequenco of the dissolution of the pro.
visinnel government, he felt himself called upon to arrive at
a decision. He wog therefore resolved to eurraider uneom
ditienally, and that he, es well as ell the officers and soldiers
of the corps commanded by him were ready to lay down their
arms before the army of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia.
Gcercny also expressed the conviction that the other leaders,
following hie example, would also offer their subjection.
Immediately General Rudiger received the commission to
toeless the column of the rebels with his carps, sad effeee
their disarmament. The 118 gum, munition, horns, area,
and stores taken from the corps of Gang were deposited fa
Grosswardein, where they wilt be beaded over to the Agee
titian troops. The Prince of Warsaw has also adopted mea-
sures to deliver over the insurgents ,neamptd under Rusiisn
guard as soon as possible.
According to the Frenukn-Blatt, General Grua is'
charged to bear to Temeswar the definitive resolves
of the Austrian emperor respecting the Hangarisal
troops which have submitted.
Tce Wanderer gives the fundamental features of
the new electoral law for Lower Austria. The landtag
of Lower Austria is to consist of 90 members, divided
Into three classes, which will form one Assembly.

BADEN.—Rtsmor, AUG. 25. —This morning,
shortly after four o'clock, four more poor wretches
were shot, having been condemned on the previous
day by the drum-head court-martial. One was Zent-
haer, an artillery-man ; another was named Let zin-
ger, a erjeint ; two were Prussians, Bernigau and
Jansen, from Cologne; the former of whom had been a
Heat in the Prussian service. This evening the Pole
Nieviski was placed at the bsr of this bloody tribunal,
where death is decreed with as much deliberation as
at a butcher's shambles. As he could not speak a
word of German, the mock trial had to be carried on
by a government interpreter, and the judgment, very
soon passed, was translated and read to the prisoner.
The sentence was death of course, and it was to be
executed this same evening. The condemned man
had been a major in the polish legion. Professor
Kinkel is to be re-tried, as hie former sentence has
been quashed by General Hirschfeld.

RECOVERY OP TUB LOST JOURNALS OP THE
Home or LORDB,—It may be recollected that at the great
conflagration of the Homes of Parliament, which took place
in 1634, several books and important papers were either lot
or consumed, amongst which were some of the manuscript
journal' if the Hones of Lords. Within these few days,
however, it has been ascertained that a portion of the latter
at least was net cottoned, aid their existence was brought
to light in the most singular manner. It appears that a few
days since a gentleman residing at Waiver& was
along the Walwortie.reed, whenhis attermies we
by soma old Woke, &0., in the shop of Mr. Teem ems
monger, at the corner of Amelia-street, and which the
letter had purchased as waste paper. Oa door inspection
he &scooted no less than twelve books which a prated to
be the journals or daily minutes of the p of the
House of Lords, comprising the followior dates:-1780,
1781, 1787, 1788, 1789, 1790, 1791, 1792, 1798, 1799, 1801,
1603, 1805, 1800. The gentleman, accordingly, on Monday
purchased one of the apparent ournals, with which he
repaired to the library of the House of Lords to learn if
it was genuine, when some of the parties there instantly
detained it, and having been informed where the rest was,'
yesterday morning three messengers proceeded to Mr.
Terry's, and purchased the whole 12, which really proved to
be the actual journals of the above-named dates. The price
they paid for these important documents was merely that of
common waste paper, being no more than U. 15.. 0.1. for
nearly one cwt. The account given by Mr. Terry is, that
he, some time dace, purchased them,-with nearly a ton
weight of other pares., ate sale of the effects of the late Mr.
Crest, one of the librarians of the House of Lords. How
they emus to remain so long in that gentleman's possession,
or to be mingled with his private effects, is at present
Involved in mystery. It has not yet been intimated to the
gentleman who was instrumental in the recovery of the
above, whether he will receive any reward for his valuable
information.

RELIEF OF DISTRESS IN IRELAND.—ReTi William
Townsend, rector of Aghadda, Whitegate, near Cloyne,
county Cork, requests the editor of the Express will return
thanks for him to " Anonymous" (seal, a cross and crown,
with the motto " Be thou futhful unto death") for ss. ;
second hell of note D. 8., 12,551, for 11., not received; a
frank offering for many merclei.—August 27.

FATAL OCCURRENCE.- HASTINGS, AUGUST 28.-
This morning, a two young men were bathing between
Hastings and St. Lconards, one of them was observed to
sink, apparently from fright, at being suddenly cut of his
depth. His companion was seen to try to save him, end
was unfirtunately dragged under water by him. Both were
drowned. Their acmes were George Collins. a mechanic,
and John Fowler, a gentleman's s mut. A boat was soon
on the spot, aed effcits were made to discover the bodies.
After a vigorous search both were brought n►, and an
ia-
guest was subsequently held on them. Verdict, " Acci-
dental death from drowning."

MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERY OP lIUMAN REMAIINS:
Considerable sensation was produced yesterday morning, at
Bristol, in consequence of its being rumoured that some hu-
man ekeletons had been found under circumstances of a nip-
terioul and an unaccountable nature, buried at • depth of some
8 or 9 feet beneath the fioorof a warehouse in Themes-street.
It appear+ that the commissionen of pitching and paving are
engaged in nuking new and enlarged sewen through the
principal streets of the city, and, among others, through
Thomuotreet. A tradesman named Graham, who is the
occupant of the warehouse in question, took advantage of
the occasion to make an improved drain from his premises
into the sewer ; end u the workmen were employed in the
act of carrying oat this work they were surprised at coming
upon a human skull embedded in the earthwork. In a few
minutes they came upon other bones, and in a short time
fount two ether shells and the remains, In all, of three hu-
man bodies. How they came to be in the position in which
they were found remains involved in mystery. There is no
reason for believing that the spot had ever been the site of
any place of sepulture ; and, indeed, from the position in
which the skeletons were found, they would not appear to
have been interred in the usual way, but rather to
Lave been huddled in tgether without regard to order. In-
formation of the discovery has been conveyed to the coroner
airs the pollee, and an inquest will be hold upon the re-
; mains.

A MERRY MOURNER.—NeYer was a man left fitted
for the part he was destined to play in the great drama of
life than Nicholas Naylor. Nature evidently intended him
for a comedian ; but circumstances made him an undertaker.
More suited to the qay then the grave, he never would have
pro:und a sec and job but for his excessive perseverance. He
Was a member of every build society within the bills of
mortality, and took all the mornicg newspapers only for the
sake of the "deaths." His great misfortune was untameable
happiness. Ills &attars exhibited s perpetual giggle, which
has been known, even in Om act of consoling the disconso-
late, to ripen into a hearty laugh. One peculiarity which he
had, amounted, in hie proteslion to a calamity. It was int.

MONEY MARKET.

TUSIIDAT EVICIMOt

In the early pat t of the day the tesoesctions on the
Stock Exchange were on a limited scale, end the
English funds wore a steady appearance. Console
opened at 921 to 3 both for money and account, but
several tales of money stock being pressed on
the market, they gave way and were done
at a fur money ; for account they became
somewhat firmer, and were last done at 92a,
and left off 92 t)1 for money, and 923 buyers for
account. The Three per Cent. Reducal marked 93
and 921. The Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. were
done variously from 94 to 933.
Exchequer Bills of 1,0001. were done at 425. end
455.; ditto, small, at 465. and 445. premium. Long
Annuities reoched 9; ditto, 30 years 1859, 84 and
11-16. Bank Stock at 1993. India Bonds, 735. and
755. premium.
The operations in the foreign securities were
limited, and presented no pearlier feature, the
quotations remaining about the same for most
stocks. Tee actual prices were : Buenos
Ayres, at 514, 51, and 52. Chilian Three
Iper Cents., at 54. Grenada, at 17. Mexican, ex-
coupons, for account, at 273, 28, and 271.
Peruvian Four per Cents., 1849, at 533, 1, and 3.
Spanish Five per Cents., at 181 and 18 ; ditto, Pea-
Eve, at 3,i. Five per Cent. French Renter, at from
90f. 25e. to 89f. 90c. ; exchange from 25f. 423 c. to
25f. +soc. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., for
account, at 633 ; ditto Four per Cent. Certificate',
at 833.
There was seareay any variation in the rates of
the foreign exchanges for this post—Bills on Vienna
and Trieste were lower; on Leghorn, a shade
higher. Other places were without alteration.
Notwithstanding the interruption caused by the
blockade of the German ports to the trade in that
most important branch of German industry—the
linens of Silesia—which enter into such active compe-
tition with our own linen manufactures in the mar-
kets of the West India Islands, Mexico, and the
United States ; still, according to the report
received by this mail from our Hamburg corre-
spondent, there has been a very satisfactory
amount of business carried on in them in that market
during the spring and summer, particularly for ex-
port to Havana. For Mexico toe demand was less
than usual, arising first from the troubled state of that
country, and secondly from the large supplies which
were sent thither the previous year, which had over-
stocked the midgets. For St. Thomas the demand
was rather act ive,and many parcels were disposed of for
these markets respectively of Flotillas ordinary at
Banc) marks 10 to 13 ; mincUing, 133 to 17; fine, 173 to
21. The demand in Hamburg wu.particularly brisk
in the spring for the above descriptions, when the
stocks were pretty well cleared out; bat since then
the market has again been supplied with new goods,
and the ordinary qualities found an immediate sale.
With Cholets the market was well supplied, and the
inquiry leans more towards the lower qualities,
for which article the prices are for ordinary.
Banco marks, 9 to 103; middling, 11 to 13; fine, 133

to 15. Bretagnes had been neglected, but an in-
quiry for the better qualities had commenced for 6-4
widths ordinary, at Banco marks, 1t to 21
21 to 3; • fine, 31 to 4. Bretagnes, 7-4 wide, were
not in stock, uit is found that they cannot compete
in the Western transatlantic markets with the Irish
manufacturers, which are finished in a superior man-
ner. Rowans' were purchased for Havana ; ordi-
nary, at Banco marks, 25 to 29; middling, 29i to 33;
Estopillao, fine, 34 to 39 ; ditto, " =ice,"
' ordinary, 4 to 51; middling, 5i t 3 7i; fine, 8 to 12.
Cross linen of fine quality was in demand for Mexico,
the middle qualities wore neglected ; but with lower
prices good bns'ness might be done in them for Ha-
vana. The prices were for ordinal-, Banco marks,
20 to 29; middling, 27 to 33; fine, 34 to 45.

From Montreal we learn that the all-absorbing
topic of public attention is the prospect cf a general
free-trade movement between the United States and
the Ce.nagas on reciproeel terms, for the farthetance
of which, it was generally believed that negotiations
were already in progress between the two govern-
ments.

The accounts received from Canada respecting the
crops are of the most satisfactory nature. From
Lower Canada the quality of the wheat is statrd
to be excellent, and tree from last; and the
yield was expected to he a fall average. The same
remark applies equally to bowlay said cats of the leis
eolefeg—Some et the early sowingi srfill be light,
having been checked by the early drought. What
few potatoes had been planted looked well. Although
the hay crops would be below an average, the pros-
recta of getting steak through the winter had never-
theless become far more cheering. The reports from
Upper Canada are equey encouraging. The fell
wheat harvest wes generally considered over, and
in consequence of the delightful weather, the greater
part had already been got in in the best prossible
condition. The accounts from all quarters still con-
curred in describing it as both urequalled in quantity
and quality; notwithstanding some parcels had been
sent to the mill ezateely weighirg 54lbs. a bushel.
The rest had affected it more than was generally
credited.

Advi,:es from Halifax state that the crops through-
out the province were looking well, and with the
exception of hay promised to yield a plenl;fal
harvest.

The number of vessels which arrived at the port of
Montreal from the 7th August, 1848, to the 7th of
August, 1849, was 75, against 74 the previous year,
showing a surplus of one vessel in 1849.
The number of vessels which arrived at the port of
Quebec from sea up to the 11th August this year was
620, representing a tonnaga of 247,786, against 694
vessels, or 268,892 tons at the same period of last
year, thus showing a decrease this year of 74 vessels,
or 21,106 tots.
We perceive that the project of connecting the
Atlantic end Pacifie Oceans by meets of a railroad
from Lake Michigan to the Pacific, as planned by
Mr. Whitney, of New York, his lately greatly in-
creased in favour in the United States. 'lite New
York Chamber of Commerce, which had previously
referred the subject of Whitney's railrold to a select
committee, have expressed an opinion decidedly fa-
vourable to the scheme. Oa the 7th inc., at a meet-
ing of that influential body, the following resolutions
were adopted alter an animated debate :
Whereas the coneruction of a railroad to connect the At-
lantic with the Pacific in a direct line across the continent
has becoms of vital importance ; and whereas the plan of
Mr. A. Whitney, of New York, for the construction of such
a communication, in its leading features, is well as the
favour it has met with from o large portion of the people,
disembarrasses the undertaking from sectional and constitu-
tional objections, which so often have impeded internal im-
provements. Therefore
Resolved—That we highly approve the treat features of
Mr. Ass Whiiney% plan the constrecttoo or a riulres.:
from Lake Michigan to the Pacific, and that we earnestly
recommend its immediate adoption to Congress.
Resolved—That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted
to our United States senators and members of Coagress for
this district.

Thus the first most important step to the successful
issue of this gigantic undertaking, which is to bring
the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans within four to
five days of each other, has already been taken by the
New York Chamber of Commerce, whose recom-
mendation to Congress for its immediate adoption,
which doubtless implies a free grant from the govern-
ment of the land over which the railroad passes (and
we also understand for fifteen miles on either
side of it), it is generally believed will be
attended to. From the well-known energy
and enterprising split of our trans-Atlantic
brethren, we shall not be surprised to see this pro-
ject assume a more decisive character, and ere long
to hear that the first stone has been laid on the shorts
o, Lake Michigan. The immense tract of country I
which would be thrown open by this means, and the
additional value which would be given to land in
those districts through which the railroad is made t,
pass will, we should presume, easily obtain for the
undertaking the 'auction and patronage of the
government, and obtain for it the support of the
capitalists of the United States.
The half-yearly meeting of the General Steam
Navigation Company was held tc day. at their
offices, 71, Lombard-street, John NVilkin, Esg in the
chair. A report and statement of the accounts for
the half-yer ending the 30th Jane last were read,
and reoeired with much approbation. By these it
appeared that the affairs of the company continued in
a most prosperous state. The usual dividend, free of
income tax, was declared.
