MON DAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1849.

The number of guns already taken from the insur -
gents, including those voluntarily given over, is above
360. The Russian corps of LUDERS has now united
with the Austrian main army. Private letters from
Semlin, the 23d, say that BEM and KOSSUTH had
arrived in New Orsova, and sought the protection of
the Pacha. _ _

Further particulars from the seat of war have come
to hand. The vanguard of the column under Major
NEIPERG, that had advanced on Birkis, overtook near
Hatalis, the baggage train of VECSEY'S corps, and
after a few shots captured the whole. More than
2,000 waggons, many of them laden with ammuni-
tion, above a thousand prisoners, and a squadron of
Hussars fell into the hands of the Austrians. On the
18th the third corps took charge of more than 300
Hussars, mounted and equipped, who deserted.
VIENNA, Ana. 29.—1 t was rumoured last night
that Peterwardien has surrendered, but up to this
moment the report has not been verified.
Field Marshal HAYNAU, together with the BAN,
are expected here. Letters from Pesth state that the
most perfect tranquillity prevails there. The insur-
gent leaders At:Lica and VETTEL have been arrested
and shot.
Private letters from Semlin, of the 25th, confirm
the intelligence of the arrival of Kosstru, BEM, and
DEMBINSKI, in Alkali (New Orsova), that they
have placed themselves under the protection of the
PASRA, but, on the 22d, had not received permission
to proceed on their journey.
Letters from Jassy state that the Polish Legion,
800 men strong, has surrendered on the Moldavian
frontiers, and laid down their arms.
At the Cabinet Council held at Schonbrunn, on the
27th, two important points, we are assured, were de-
cided upon :—The organization of Hungary upon
the general plan, with the utmost deference to
nationalities ; and an amnesty with as few exceptions
As may be possible. The EMPEROR is said to be
most favourable to these measures, which will, it is
thought, tend greatly to the pacification of Hungary.

DISTURBANCES AT SCHLESWIG.

Letters from Flensburgh of August 27 say—
Yesterday evening a most fearful affray took place
on the occasion of singing the national Bill, by the
two parties by whom the city is divided ; it as-
sumed such a character that recourse was obliged to
be had to arms, and several soldiers were wounded.
A Prussian patrole cleared the streets at the point
of the bayonet, threatening to fire upon the people.
Notwithstanding these excesses, the Prussian troops
quitted the city to-day. The Danish party broke
into several houses and pillaged them, they also
broke open the residence of Senator HUMMINGSEN.
The gendarmes and some convalescent soldiers were
sent for, and advanced, bayonet in hand, towards the
mob, and having in vain called upon them to disperse,
they fired. A boy was killed, and some others se-
verely wounded.
The inhabitants have formed a body of security ;
but the excesses of the Danes continue up to this
evening to a very great extent.
The Danish troops arrived here towards evening,
they have occupied guard, but they have not inter-
fered, and a police has not the necessary means for
:preienting the further shedding of blood.

HOLLAND.
APPROACHING ROYAL NUPTIALS.

TDB HAGUE, SEPT. I.—The Rotterdam Courant
speaks of the marriage of the Hereditary Prince of
SWEDEN, which is to take place at the Hague, with
the daughter of Prince FREDERICK, as a settled point.
His Royal Highness the Prince of SWEDEN has re-
ceived the order of the Netherlands Lion.

THE UNITED STATES.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA.
(From the Chronicle.)

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING.

The British and North American royal mail steam-
ship America has arrived in our river, with advices
one week later in date than those brought over by the
Cambria.

The America left New York on the 22d, and
Halifax on the 25th ultimo, and has consequently
dates from the undermentioned places, as follows :
New York, 22d; Philadelphia, Boston, and Balti
more, 21st ; Washington, 20th ; St. Louis and
Cincinnati, 19th; Mobile and Montreal, 20th ;
Charleston, 20th ; and Quebec, 18th ultimo. In ad-
dition to her Majesty's mails from the United States
and the British North American colonies, the America
brings a good number of passengers.
By these advices we learn that the Hibernia,
whose arrival at Halifax was brought over by the
Cambria's advices, had arrived at Boston ; and the
Canada, which left this port on the 11th ult., and
had been spoken by the same vessel on her homeward
voyage, had reached Halifax, and after landing the
mails and passengers for Nova Scotia, New Bruns-
wick, and the Canadas, had proceeded to complete
her voyage.
The election returns are now very complete, and
leave not a shadow of doubt that the principles on
which General Taylor fought the Presidential cam-
paign will not stand the test of the Legislature. His
party will be in a minority in the House on all
questions of a distinctive character ; and now that
this fact is ascertained, the question begins to be
agitated—what course General Taylor may adopt
for the future. Notwithstanding the result of the
late elections, it would appear that they have not
been contested with any personal motive towards
controlling the President; the strong and united
position of the Democratic contrasted strongly with
that of the Whig party—the latter of which through-
out the States generally are ill at ease with the
Cabinet of General Taylor, and are using every en-
deavour to have it reconstructed. It is, however,
surmised, as the President, on being elected, pledged
himself to govern the Republic according to the tone
adopted by the representatives of the Union, that his
Excellency will merge many personal predilections,
and adopt a line of policy in consonance with the views
of the majority of the Legislature.
The appointments he has recently made would,
however, seem to militate against this view of the
question, as they partake more of a Whig cast than
heretofore. In one or two instances he has removed
able Locofocos, and substituted Whigs of less ability.

The convention of Barnburners and Hunkers at
Rome, in the State of New York, has diversified
the intelligence of the week. This convention, for
which much preparation was made, was called to
promote the fusion of all sections of Democrats, so
as to carry on a united warfare against the Whig
party in the next Legislature. The number of
delegates was•large, a considerable number attending
from New York, and the proceedings were most
animated. Another convention is named for Syracuse
on the sth instant.

The Whig state convention for the nomination of
candidates for the various state offices of New York,
to be elected in November, is named to meet at
Syracuse on the 26th of September.
The efforts of the Mayor of New York to dis-
countenance the Sunday liquor traffic have been to a
great extent successful, and if the health of that
functionary permit of his continuing his energetic
course, there is no doubt of the disorderly scenes
which disgrace the Sabbath in New York being put
an end to. The Mayor's health, however, has been so
much impaired as to render it necessary for him to
sojourn for a time in the country.
Several companies from New York have arrived in
California, with machinery to assay, roll, and die the
precious metal extracted from the diggings. They
intend to establish a character in the coinage of five-
dollar gold pieces, and give over-weight, so as to
entitle their coinage to confidence. They will, there-
fore, be of much service to the region until the
Government establishes a Mint of its own.

Public meetings had been held for the purpose of
urging upon the President and his Cabinet the policy
of selecting, for official situations, men of Whig cha-
racter and experience.
General Taylor, we are glad to find, has quite re-
covered from his illness, and has been received with
much enthusiasm throughout hi's journey. At Pitts-
burg and elsewhere great preparations had been rcade
to receive him ; and altogvther his reception must
have been most flattering to his feelings.
The accounts regarding the cotton crops are still
very unfavourable. The crop will not, it is expected,
reach two and a quarter millions of bales.
The corn and other grain crops are not more fa-
vourably spoken of than heretofore. The floods had
done much damage in many districts.
The reports of cholera are less alarming than they
have been for some time. The epidemic is decreasing
in almost all the localities throughout the Union.
The business advices to hand are very encouraging.

Mosey is abundant, and there are signs of more de-
mand for it now than for some time past. The dread
attendant on the increase of cholera has disappeared
and a revival of business is the consequence. There
is also a disposition to invest in cotton, sugar, and
real estate. On the whole, the trading prospects are
most cheering.
United States Sixes are quoted 115 ; Treasury
Notes, 114+; Pennsylvania Fives, 874.
The breadstuffs market is reported as being in an
active state. Prices were very firm at the following
quotations :—Western Canal flour, 5 dolls. 50c. to
5 dolls. 62ic. per barrel ; Genesse prime wheat, 1 doll.
28c. to 1 doll. 30c. per 601b5.; southern wheat, 1 doll.
10e. to 1 doll. 12c. per 601b3. • Indian corn, round
yellow, 62c. to 64c. per bushel, steady; southern
white, 60c. to 62c. per bushel; Indian meal, 3 dolls.
37i-c. to 3 dolls. 50e. per barrel.
In cotton there was a fair amount of business doing
at New York. Former quotations were steadily main-
tained as follows :—New Orleans mid. fair to fair,
104 e. to lOic. per lb.; Upland mid. fair to fair,
10fc. to 10gc. per lb.
Provisions were in moderate request ; Pork mess,
10 dols. 75c. ; prime, 9 dols.
Exchange on London, 1094 to 110, with a large
business doing. On Paris, 5 25, demand lair. On
Hamburgh, 35 to 351. On Bremen, 78+ to 78g.
Freights are unaltered ; priers low.
The number of passengers by the America is 104.
Her mails will not reach town till to morrow morning.

ALARMING NEWS FROM
CANADA.

A further telegraphic dispatch from our Liverpool
correspondent informs us that on the 15th
im-
plicated Canadian Government arrested several parties
in the riots and burning of the Parliament-
house. No opposition was then given to the arrest.
In the evening, however, a mob attacked the house of
Lafontaine, the Minister. The military, who had
been hid in the house, fired thirty shots, killing a man
named Mason. Some barricades were then erected
which the soldiers demolished, and the people then
dispersed. Mason's funeral was attended by large
numbers—the coffin was dressed in red.

Donegana's Hotel, in Montreal, has been totally
burned.

The coroner's investigation into the death of
Mason was commenced on the 20th, at Cyrus's
Hotel. When Lafontaine was giving his testimony,
the hotel was fired. The utmost confusion ensued.
Soldiers escorted Lafontaine to the Government
House in the centre of a square of troops.
The incendiaries escaped. The soldiers on guard
at the hotel, when it was discovered to be on fire,
ran about with fixed bayonets. Things have arrived
at such a crisis, that the bending of a straw may
produce a revolution ; and, to make matters worse,
the Ministry have split with the military, and must
resign.
[Our Canada papers have not yet arrived.]—ED.

We have reason to believe that the authorities at
the Home-office intend recommending to her Majesty's
Government that the reward of 1001. offered for the ap-
prehension of the Mannings, should bo increased, in
order that some civilians who lent valuable assistance to
the officers of police in effecting the capture of the cri-
minals may be adequately remunerated for the great
toilsome labour, and energy manifested by them at
Edinburgh and in the islands of Jersey and Guernsey.—

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—As it is my annual custom in the Warwick ivso,
lg
to dip deeply into the mysteries of the future, I shall
once again attempt to pilot the Public, amid the shosio
and rocks, and through the difficulties which beset she
uninitiated in the sea of turf speculation, and land then,
winners on the great stakes of the autumn, as also 0'
1850, 1851, and 1852.
I shall begin with the meeting of the north—Doncaster.
whose St. Leger Stakes are within ten days of being
decided for the seventy-fourth time. On the two great
races of the year—the Derby and St. Leger —I We
been remarkably successful during the five years that
have wielded the " prophetic pen," as the following table
of my summaries will show:--
DERBY. ST. LEGER.
1845. "If an outsider wins, Pantasa or The BOA
it will be one of former for choice.
Forth's lot, The
Merry Monarch."
1846. Pyrrhus the First or Scott's horse.
Fancy Boy.
1847. Cossack or Conyngham Van Tromp I
Cossack
1
1848. Springy Jack or Sur- Surplice
plice, former for Canezou
choice.
1849. The Flying Dutchman
or Tadmor, latter
for choice.
Thus it will be seen, although never absolutely erreg
on the Derby, I have been much more correct on the 6,t:
Leger, having the last two years not only hit the
eye with Van Tromp, and Surplice, but also placed the
second horse, a feat which I can hardly expect to sc.
c•mplish three successive years.
In all probability, the field for the St. Leger will 10,
exceed a dozsn, or be under eight, and will be selected
from the following :—*Old Dan Tucker, °Chatterer,
*Elthiron, *Herbert, *Nunnykirk, *The Flying Dutch;
man, *Honeycomb, *Saucy Dick, *Ve lcano, Loupgar,°:
*Uriel, Robert de Brus, Last of the Barons, 13e'ti'
Knarsdale, Westow, Lady Superior, Vatican, Chabtrfis
Tara, and Strongbow ; those masked with an esterisi(
are the most certain runners.
The Flying Dutchman, by Bay Middleton out °I
Barbelle, premier favourite for the Derby and St. Leger,
for fourteen months, winner of the Derby, and erer'a
other race he has run, and considered a certainty fbr
forthcoming Doncaster struggle, must be cautious
handled; his two-year-old performances were good, e,
as he had nothing of consequence to beat, with f'l
exception of Escalade, and Ellen Middleton, they Ord
no criterion to judge by.
that
Tnis year his performances are by no means of „
superior order, which would warrant his present posifi°-
in the market. What has he done ? Nott'°
more than walk over for a couple of small stakes I,
Liverpool, and win the Derby after a sharp etelliff
with a half bred horse, whom Tadmor beat in a cant,
Had Tadmor been in front when descending the EPs°l,-,
hill, or not been so completely outpaced by the Putc,b,
man's immense stride, he would have won by a log,"b
at the least; directly they faced the hill for the fie j
every stride that Tadmor took told upon Hotspur Of
" the crack," and had the race been a few yards furtb„ca
nothing could have prevented the purple jacket s'
orange cap from winning.
The Dutchman is in first-rate condition at the pree;;:
time ; if anything, drawn a little too light; he 10,11, if
ridden by Marlow, and of course be in the first flight'
not the absolute winner.
As it seems to be, according to the betting, oddoibe
the Dutchman against the Field, I will comment '6,
latter en masse. Oriel, Nunnykirk, and Volcano rePrbe
sent Scott's stable; in the last named I should 00t itb
surprised to find a Baron, or Faugh-a-Ballagh; but
respect to the other two, Uriel may run up, but Nun
kirk's chance is hopeless. tber
Old Dan Tucker, and Saucy Dick, the former 100 of
to Pantasa, the latter to Springy Jack, are pretty
on a par, and, if my judgment does not mislead ine,
obtain two out of the four first places; Tco3P.,„e
man or A. Day will ride " Old Dan," an Nat the ea"""
gentleman.
Honeycomb may take a fit into his head to gace
burster from end to end, without he does so his bbii°4
is completely out. Herbert, Elthiron,, Chatterer,
Loup-garou, are the only others possessing the shou,f°,
of a chance; the rest may be considered as safe as if IP'
were boiled.
To morrow, at Warwick, Docility or Ploughboy wha
win the Foal Stakes, and Jack Briggs or Milcote IP"
Castle Park Stakes.
The Leamington Stakes will probably be contested hi
