THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

It is said that the Austrian Government has deter-
mined to open negotiations with the Hungarians.
The Wiener Zeitung of the 11th contains the
official report of the operations of the Russian army
in Transylvania, from which it appears that as soon
as Lieutenant-General GROTSNHELM ascertained that
in consequence of an engagement at Shassbourgb, in
which the insurgents were worsted, they were re-
treating from Maros Vasarhely, he advanced his own
troops from Isass Regen to Vasarhely. The corps
reached the place towards evening, occupied a posi-
tion without the city, near the neighbouring village
of Nayaralo, and effected a junction with the corps of
General Lunans, whose advanced guard entered Vija
the same day. The enemy immediately commenced
a march in the direction of Galfalao, whither the
combined corps were to pursue it on the evening of
the 4th.

The Wiener Zeitung of the 12th states that Gene-
ral LEDERS has defeated BEM at Schossburg.
The German Reform, however, says that the intelli-
gence from the seat of war is by no means so favour-
able to the Austrians az is represented by the Vienna
journals, and that it is very generally apprehended,
from various reports and rumours, that the insurgents
will, ere long, make an attack upon the Austrian
frontier.
The report of the defeat of PASKIEWITCH by
GEORGEY remains uncontradicted.
The mother of the EMPEROR has left Vienna in
consequence of the serious differences which have
arisen between herself and her son on the subject of
the Hungarian war, and it is said that the dismissal
of SCUWARTZENBERG is also resolved on. Should he
be dismissed, the EMPEROR will probably at once
enter into negotiations with the Hungarians.

ITAL Y.

There is but litte doubt that GARIBALDI has suc-
ceeded in escaping to Venice. The murder of the
Priest BASSI, at Bologna, by order of an Austrian
drum-head court-martial has excited the most in •
tense sensation. Bassi was not an Austrian
subject, nor was he taken in arms, and the only ex-
cuse the Austrian officer can have for his conduct is,
that he must consider himself as holding the appoint-
ment of executioner to the POPE. The conduct of
the Austrians in this affair fully justifies the Sardinian
Government in having refused to make peace until
anamnesty should have been granted to the Lombards.
The persecution is not confined to the Republicans,
but extends to all who are not furious partisans of
the priests. ZANoLINI, the mayor of Bologna, who
headed the deputation to the POPE, requesting him to
take up his residence in that city, and Count Alt-
BARDE RANUZZI, who is known as a sturdy anti-
republican, have both been arrested for signing an
address praying for a restoraticn of the Constitution ;
and a lady of rank has been condemned to a year's
imprisonment, because a gun was found in her house.
It was rumoured that the POPE had been assassi-
nated, but no credit was attached to the report.
The Neapolitan troops have received orders to quit
the Roman territory.

FRANKFORT.

The Archduke Joim was expected to arrive at
Frankfort on the 18th. An attempt will be made by
Austria (who long since repudiated the German
Parliament) to revive the authority of the Archduke
(an authority depending solely on the existence of
that Parliament, and dying with it), for the purpose
of upholding the cause of Austrian supremacy. The
Austrian Cabinet is excessively irate against Prussia
because no allusion was made in the KING'S speech,
on opening the Prussian Chambers, to Austria.
The Austrian Lloyd's, the organ of the Austrian
Government, thus comments on the speech :
" It is remarkable, that the name of Austria is not
once mentioned in the opening speech. The Prussian
state appears as if it wished not to know that its
southern neighbour was in existence. We thank the
Brandenburgh Cabinet for at last giving us a certainty.
That ministry of coup d'etat, rendered arrogant with
the success which a popular representation uninformed
and fettered has given it, now Leeks a wider field for
its bold spirit of enterprise. It wants now to octroy
Prussia in reality at the head of Germany. It wants to
make a new map for this land, where you may look
in vain for Vienna, for Gratz, or Innspruck, possibly,
too, for Munich. In this laudable undertaking, how-
ever, it may chance to stumble upon a resistance less
passive than what has been shown by the majority of the
Prussian people. The German central power still re-
mains in the hands of the Archduke John. One word is
still able to give to that power the substance and the
vigour it has hitherto been without. That the legiti-
mate authority of the Vicar of the Empire over Germany
be infringed upon as little by the usurpation of North-
German princes as by that of South-German dema-
gegues, to see to this, is now Austria's duty, as it is
its interest."

PRUSSIA.

The First Chamber held a sitting on the 13th, in the
course of which the Minister of the Interior stated
that he should soon lay on the table of the House tv% o
Bills, the one containing a new code of commercial
administration, the other for repressing offences
against the game-laws. The Minister of Justice
then rose to state that the present electoral law must
only be regarded as temporary, and subject to the
revision of the Chamber. He further requested
the Chamber would sanction his proposition for
prolonging the action of this temporary law until r -
vised. The same Minister then laid on the
table two memoirs justifying the continuation
of the state of siege at Posen and Breslau.
M. SIGERT, reporter of the commission chosen to
investigate Count EULENHERG'S motion for the
suspension of the organization of the Burgher
Guard, and for the dismissal of all those corps now
existing, stated that the matter wus agreed to by
the committee. He stated, among other observationq,
that upwards of 2,000 petitions had been forwarded to
the House, some declaring the law of organisation to
be defective in almost all points; others declaring the
institution to be useless, and not harmonious with the
spirit of the people, and others condemning the
Burgher Guard as more dangerous than beneficial
to the State. After a short debate, the motion was
agreed to by 62 against 45 votes, and the House ad-
journed.
The Second Chamber met at half-past one, under
the presidency of Count SCHERWIN. The previous
protocol having been read, the names of the eight
secretaries elected on Saturday were announced, and
those members took, their places in the bureau.
The President then rose, and in a short and impres-
sive speech proposed a vote of thanks to the army
and land wehr, praying the House, as he terminated,
to ratify his proposition by rising. The Chamber, on
this, rose in a body, and gave utterance to their sa-
tisfaction in a loud and prolonged cheer. Silence
being restored, the Minister of War returned thanks.
He was followed by the Minister of the Interior, who
laid upon the table six different Bills, having divers
administrative ameliorations for their object, and all
conceived in a liberal and candid spirit. These Bills
were forthwith referred to the committees. After a
short debate upon subjects of no external interest,
the House adjourned until Tuesday, when the report
on three or lour of the most urgent Bills will be
brought up.

PRUSSIA.

The First Chamber held a sitting on the 13th, in the
course of which the Minister of the Interior stated
that he should soon lay on the table of the House two
Bills, the one containing a new code of commercial
administration, the other for repressing offences
against the game-laws. The Minister of Justice
then rose to state that the present electoral law must
only be regarded as temporary, and subject to the
revision of the Chamber. He further requested
the Chamber would sanction his proposition for
prolonging the action of this temporary law until re-
vised. The same Minister then laid on the
table two memoirs justifying the continuation
of the state of siege at Posen and Breslau.
M. SIGERT, reporter of the commission chosen to
investigate Count EULENBERG'S motion for the
suspension of the organization of the Burgher
Guard, and for the dismissal of all those corps now
existing, stated that the matter was agreed to by
the committee. He stated, among other observation=,
that upwards of 2,000 petitions had been forwarded to
the House, some declaring the law of organisation to
be defective in almost all points; others declaring the
institution to be useless, and not harmonious with the
spirit of the people, and others condemning the
Burgher Guard as more dangerous than beneficial
to the State. After a short debate, the motion was
agreed to by 62 against 45 votes, and the House ad-
journed.
The Second Chamber met at half-past one, under
the presidency of Count SCHERWIN. The previous
protocol having been read, the names of the eight
secretaries elected on Saturday were announced, and
those members took their places in the bureau.
The President then rose, and in a short and impres-
sive speech proposed a vote of thanks to the army
and landwehr, praying the House, as he terminated,
to ratify his proposition by rising. The Chamber, on
this, ruse in a body, and gave utterance to their sa-
tisfaction in a loud and prolonged cheer. Silence
being restored, the Minister of War returned thanks.
He was followed by the Minister of the Interior, who
laid upon the table six different Bills, having divers
administrative ameliorations for their obj(ct, and all
conceived in a liberal and candid spirit. These Bills
were forthwith referred to the committees. After a
short debate upon subjects of no external interest,
the house adjourned until Tuesday, when the report
on three or four of the most urgent Bills will be
brought up.
The Count of MONTEMOLIN has arrived at Berlin,

LAMBETH.

John Stockley was placed at the bar before Mr.
Elliott, on a charge of embezzling various sums of
money, the property of his employer, Mr. Samuel
Daniel Ewins, bookseller, Ave Maria lane, City.
A solicitor, who attended on bshalf of the prisoner,
appli( d for the adjournment of the case to a future
day, hut the magistrate said that, before complying
with such a reqa,st, he must have some evidence be-
fure him to justify the remand.
Mr. Ewins deposed to one case, in which
prisoner had received 3/. on his account-, of which he
had made no return, and the prisoner was remanded
to a future day.

ANGLING IN THE .I.%:TORTH.—His Grace the Duke of
Sutherland, our sporting readers will he aware, closed
the fishing of his rivers in Sutherlandshire last year in
May, in order to try the effect upon the produce in the
following season. The result has been a very great in
crease in the humbers of salmon and grilse this year,
Rnd since the Lammas rains, the po ils in the Shin river,
in particular, are teeming with fish. This ought to
enc,,urage the owners in other ricers to imitate occa-
sionally his Grace of Sutherland's example.—Perth

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Our magistrates have this day gone through
the contemptible farce of withholding an innkeeper's
license from him fora few minutes to mark their disap-
probation of the conduct of hint and his waiter in a
recent case of felony. Not wishing to wound the
feelings of a respectable family I shall avoid mention-
ing names. My object is merely to adduce another
proof that there is one law for the poor and another
for the rich. Previous to the last York assizes a
young man came to this town and was guilty of
forgery. The magistrates committed him to take his
trial, and bound the witnesses, the chief of whom
were the innkeeper and waiter referred to, to appear
at York to give evidence against him. The case was
hurried before the grand jury two days sooner than
necessary, when it was known these witnesses had not
arrived, and of course the bill was thrown out. Com-
mon decency was totally disregarded, for no applica-
tion was made for the absent witnesses to have their
recognizances forfeited. At the same assizes, forge-
ries of a less aggravated character were punished, the
parties and their connexions being poor. Are prose-
cutions to be made an article of trade, and to be
carried through or stifled, just as they may be turned
to most profit? And are ratepayers to be taxed for
sham prosecutions, for it is currently reported that the
one in question was nothing else, the case being
arranged here before the assizes at York commenced?
Notwithstanding the despicable performance of this
morning, I believe the magistrates are entitled to
credit for having well probed the matter, and I trust
they will feel it to be their duty to lay the information
they have obtained before the Government, with a
view of procuring that reformation in the law which
is so much needed.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
A REFORMER.

Hull, August 23, 1849.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sitt,—Amid the fantastic proceedings of the pre•
tended Republican, but virtually Imperial, ruler of
France, I think it should not be forgotten that in the
struggle for Presidentship he reproached Cavaignac
for attempting to do the very thing which he himself
has now done—sending an expedition to interfere with
the internal concerns of an independent state, which
either of them had just as much right to do as Russia
or Great Britain would have a right to send an expe-
dition to Paris to restore Louis Philippe. It was
alleged against the latter that his was a retrograde
Government, and the virtuous anti retrograde Govern-
ment which has succeeded it has restored the Holy
Inquisition—a tribunal which in the darkest ages was
never tolerated in France itself, not even in the times
of Charles IX. or Louis XIV.! A French Republic
restores the Inquisition in the middle of the 19th
century ! Let this be written down for all posterity I !
I am, Sir, yours, MENTOR.

LONDON YACHT CLUB.

The contest for the London Yacht Club Challenge
Cup, to be won two years consecutively before it becomes
the absolute property of the holder, took place yester-
day. It was a time race, one minute per ton being al
lowed by the larger to the smaller craft, and the distance
contested was from the Folly House, Blackwall-road,
down to a boat off Tilbury Fort, and back.
The following had been entered, but it will be found
did not all take their places:—.

Rival

Hazard, ••• 6 Ackharne & Charles

The start took place under the direction of Mr. F. J.
Hughes, commodore, at a quarter to twelve, when the
Hazard unfortunately carried away her peak hallyards,
and could not get her mainsail set until below Blackwall.
The Moor Park took the lead at starting, kept it all the
way down, and rounded the flag buoy off Tilbnry Fort at
18 minutes past two; the Rival at 28 minutes past. The
Moor Park increased her lead considerably in beating up
to windward, the wind being W.N.W.,and finally passed
to the southward of the winning buoy at 11 minutes 15
seconds past seven ; the Rival at 38 minutes 52 seconds;
and the Hazard at 57 minutes 20 seconds past. The
owner of the Moor Park, which showed her great supe-
riority to windward, becomes the holder of the cup for
one year.
RICHMOND ROYAL REGATTA,

The annual double-bank rowing match at Richmond,
in honour of and to celebrate Prince Albert's natal day,
took place yesterday, and was, as usual, extremely at-
tractive. The regatta was under the august patronage
of the Queen Dowager and the nobility and gentry re-
sident at Richmond and vicinity. The race was in four
heats, the first man of each of the first three being eli•
gible only to contend in the fcurth or final one.

of meeting any one at Manning's, and I understood
him to go there as a friend.
William Patrick Keating recalled—When I heard
Mr. O'Connor was missing I went on Sunday, the
12th, in company with Mr. Graham to Manning's
house, and there saw Mrs. Manning, and I asked,
"Did not Mr. O'Connor dine here on Thursday ?"
and she replied, " lie did not." That struck me as
rather strange, but she did not display any anxiety.
I pressed the question rather anxiously, and said,
" You have been down to his lodgings on Thursday
evening and the following evening ;" and I asked her
at what hour, and I mentioned that she was there at
six, and she said, "I was not there till seven on the
Thursday," and she acknowledged she was there on
both days. I then said, " Mr. Manning may
perhaps know something of him ; can I see him ?'
She said that when she went to Mr. O'Connor's
lodgings, it was to inquire after his health. She also
said Mr. Manning was not within, and that he had
gone to church. I asked her if I could see him in
the evening if I came over, and she said " No, we
nrri asked out to tea, and we shall not be at home." I
looked into the garden, bat saw nothing. I observed
she was very nervous. I then asked, have you not
got a lodger here, and she said " Yes, but he is in
the country, and is not to come back for two months.
This closed the evidence.
After some observations from the CORONER,

The— jury deliberated for about one hour, after
which they returned the fo:lowing verdict—" That the
deceased Patrick O'Connor was brutally murdered
by Frederick George Manning and Maria his wife."

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.
HAMBURGH, AUG. 19.—Several public journals
have spoken of the protest made by the English and
French Consuls against the occupation of Hamburgh
by the Prussian troops.
The Augsburg Zeitung gives the following data
on this subject :
" The French Consul transmitted a rote to the Senate,
of the following import :—' Thc French Government has
nothing to object, if the Prussian troops merely pass
through Hamburgh; but it must and does protest against
the military occupation of that city by the Prussian
troops.'"

Tile Hanoverian Charki d'AtLires has protested in
the name of his Sovereign, as chief of the 10th army
corps, to which he belongs, against troops being sent to
Hqinburgh. Thus Germany has arrived at such a point
that foreign powers interfere without any hesitation in its
internal affairs.

With regard to the protest made byEriglend, the reality
resolves itself into the following point;—Colonel Hodges,
who came hither from Flensburgh in consequence of
the troubles of Tuesday (but has since returned thither),
deinandtd of the Senate whether the Prmsian troops were•
here by its consent, and how lung a time they would
remain.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The season opened on the same evening as Her
Majesty's Theatre, with an Italian version of Auber's
chef d'oeuvre Masaniello, in which Mario appeared
as the Neapolitan fisherman, Madame Dorus Gras,
as the Princess, and Massol, as Pietro. Nothing
could exceed the splendour and completeness with
which this magnificent work was put upon the
stage. It drew crowded houses until Easter, when
its powers of attraction became somewhat diminished,
in consequence of the substitution of Salvi for Mario
in the principal character. On the 10th of April,
Miss Catherine Hayes, the new soprano, and Mdlle.
de Meric, the new contralto, made their debuts in
Linda de Chamouni. Their success was un-
doubted. Miss Catherine Hayes has filled
throughout the season, and well filled, the position
occupied last season by Madame Castellan, and Mdlle.
de Meric is the most promising of all the young
singers who have of late made their debut. Un the
17th Semiramide was performed, Grisi, who,l during
the whole season has played and sung with undi-
minished power, sustaining the part of the Assyrian
Queen, and Mdlle. Angri making her debut in that
of Arsace. Mdlle. Angri; possesses great natural
powers, but she lacks cultivation, and her intonation
is not unfrequently anything but correct. With all
her faults, however, she is a great artiste, and if she
would but consent to undergo the drudgery of study
she might become what she certainly is not at pre-
sent, the rival for Alboni. The old operas
of the repertoire, Norma, Lucrezia Borgia, &c.,
were repeated with the old casts, save that Angri was
the substitute of Alboni ; and on the 12th Meyer-
beer's Robert le Diable, which had been reckoned
upon as one of the great cards of the season, was pro-
duced, and proved quite a fiasco, being only performed
once. This failure was owing to the weakness of the
cast ; instead of having, as had been anticipated, Grisi
as Alice, and Mario as Robert, Madame Dorus Gras
appeared in the first, and Salvi in the last of these
characters. The subscribers considered themselves
ill-used, and were out of temper, and notwithstanding
the perfection of the chorus and orchestra, notwith-
standing the lavish expenditure bestowed upon its gor-
geous and splendid mise en scene, the chef d ceuvre of
Meyerbeer was not again repeated. On the 17th of
May Madame Persiani commenced an engagement
for nine farewell nights, i❑ the character of Zerlina ;
these farewell p,rforrnances or Madame Persiani were
exceedingly successful. Among the characters in
which she appeared wars that of Amine, in the

AND
THE NORTHERN STATES,

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The war does not seem so rieai7aConciusion as the
favourers of the Imperialists had flattered themselves
when they heard of the surrender of GEORGEY.
KLAPKA bas refused to follow his example, and on
the 18th he sallied from Comorn and attacked and
defeated the Austrians, with great loss. The com-
munications between Pesth and Vienna still remain
interrupted, a proof that the armies of AULTCH and
KLAPKA. will not follow the example of GEORGEY.
It was reported in Vienna on the 22d that KOSSUTH
and BEM had been arrested in Wallachia.
