Extract of a letter from Vienna dated July 16, 1849:
"Notwithstanding the bravery and intrepidity of our
glorious Austro-Russo army,' the busk of the rebel'
army,
commandedthe leftby-
bank,Gorg
Gorge y, , has passed the Danube,
and occupied
probably with the intention
of not only liberating Comorn from a siege, but of open-
ing the road to Vienna; but the rebels' will find at
Presburg, in the breasts of our brave troops,' a wall
which will turn the edge of their swords. The Empe-
ror, with his Ministers, Schwarzenberg, Gynlai, and
Bach, has suddenly gone to Brunn.
" The other part of the 'rebel army' has fled' to the
Banat, and there taken Arad, and may enter Dalmatia.
" To occupy Fiume and threaten Trieste, other troops,
in place of a handful of disorderly insurgents,' are re-
quired, and Austria fears no other nation of Europe!
"Funds are declining. Metallics, 92i; London, 12."

ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA.
LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY MORNING.
The British and North American Royal Mail Steam-
ship, Hibernia, which left Now York on the 11th,
reached the
.Mersey early to-day. Sho brings advices
by trlegrapla and express down to the following dates:
—New York, July 11th; Boston, 11th; Baltimore, 10th;
Philadelphia, 11th; Washington, 10th; Montreal, 9th;
Mobile, 9th; New Orleans, 9th; St. Louis, 9th; Cin-
cinnati, 9th ; Quebec, Bth ; Charleston, 9th, Hali-
fax, 14th.

Arrivals out—The British and North American
steam-ship Canada, which was last heard of at Halifax,
arrived at Boston a few days after, and the Niagara,
belonging to the same line, which left Liverpool on the
30th of June, had put into Halifax on the 12th inst.,
and, after the usual detention, continued her voyage to
New York.
The advices from all parts regarding cholera state that
it is on the increase. The disease was making terrible
' havoc amongst the Delaware and Shawnee Indians, and
in almost every village along the banks of the Upper
Mississippi. People were flying before it in all directions.
The citizens of New York and the loading towns were
fast leaving for the spas, cataracts, and mountain retreats.
The dismissals and appointments in the Customs, Post-
office, and other departments, consequent on the change
of President, still continue; but President 'raylor is not
carrying out his alterations to anything like the extent
of his predecessors.
The effect of disunion in the great democratic parties
in the State has been so apparent in the late Presidential
election as to lead to a fusion of the barnburners and lo-
cofocos, who are about to coalesce. For this purpose
" a Consulting Convention " will be held in Syracuse on
the 15th August, preliminary to a general meeting in
September. Slavery is a subject which will not be in-
cluded in their deliberations.
Several elections to the House of Representatives take
place during 1849, amongst these are—Rhode Island, 1
member ; Massachusetts, 1; Ohio, 1; Maryland, 6;
North Carolina, 9; Alabama, 7; Louisiana, 4; Texas,
2; Mississippi, 4; Tenessee, 11; Kentucky, 10; Indiana,
10. The majority of these elections take place on or
about the 6th August, but several do not come on till
November. The Democrats expect these returns will
give them a clear majority, in the House at Washington
of 7, whilst the Whigs reckon upon a majority of 2. At
present the relative numbers are—Locofocos, 72; Free
Soilers, 10; Whigs, 83. It is said that Mr. Clay will
give all his support to the Taylor party. That gentle-
man was expected in Washington the day previous to
the departure of the Hibernia from New York. It is
supposed some additional changes will be made in the
personnel of the Administration. Some of the journals
hint that the mission of Lieutenant Beale to California
was to have Weller recalled, and Fremont substituted.
Wilson, the celebrated Scotch vocalist, is dead.
A most crowded demonstration had taken place on
• the evening previous to the anniversary of American
independence, in the Broadway Tabernacle, New York,
to welcome the celebrated temperance advocate.
Amongst those who took a prominent part in the pro-
ceedings were Chancellor Walworth, the Rev. Dr. Cox,
&c. Of the invitations sent to Father Mathew we notice
some from Boston, New Orleans, Washington, and
others from Canada. The excitement created by his
arrival amongst the lower classes of the Irish almost
borders on profanity. A kiss of the hand, a blessing,
nay a touch of the garment, seemed, in the eyes of those
deluded creatures, to impart some of those miraculous
, gifts which one would imagine had departed with Prince
Hohenlohe. In a few hours, on one day, not less than
20,000 people bad shaken him by the hand; and not the
least conspicuous in their tokens of admiration are the
ladies of New York.
The influx of emigrants at Boston, and the other
Eastern ports, from Ireland and the Continent of Eu-
rope, was said to be much larger than usual.
Desertions from the United States army were becom-
ing very frequent latterly, and some severe measures to
repress them were under consideration.
Eulogies and orations (ceremonies almost unknown in
this country, though very common in France), are
being delivered on the life and public services of Presi-
dent Polk. Amongst the eulogies delivered, or to be
delivered, are those by Judge Woodbury, at Boston ;
the Hon. henry S. Foote, at Washington; and the Hon.
James Buchanan, at Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
A mass Convention was to be held at Cleveland, Ohio,
on the 13th of July, to celebrate the anniversary of the
passage of the ordinance, prohibiting slavery in the
North-Western territory.
The President leaves the capital in August for the
north, visiting amongst other places on his way, Balti-
more, Harrisburg, Bedford Springs, Pittsburg, Ohio,
Cleveland, Buffalo, Albany, and Boston. On his return
be will take New York and Philadelphia, arriving at
Washington about the beginning of October. His visit
is said to be for the benefit of his health, and also to
make some agricultural observations, that being a sub-
ject on which he is a decided amateur.
The grain crops, and more particularly that of
wheat, have been suffering severely by the ravages of
insects, and in many places the frost has done great in-
jury.
According to a notification put forward previously, by
General Sandford, at the request of the Sanitary Com-
i mittee of the Common Council of New York, the usual
•
military display on the 4th July was dispensed with,
but, save this, all the enthusiasm which usually accom-
panies the celebration was manifested.
Several presentations of colours took place in front of
the City Hall, and the great flag, which is about to be
forwarded to Kossuth, the Hungarian liberator, occupied
a prominent position in the proceedings. Processions,
orations, fireworks, &c., were seen or heard on every
side, whilst large numbers of the population set out on
day excursions to the neighbourhood. Throughout the
Union the day was kept a close holiday.
Accounts from the Canadian provinces are much of
the same character as those received by the last steamer.
If anything, the agitation is on the increase, and fresh
troubles had manifested themselves. The League is not
inactive. From being confined to one or two large cities,
it has now spread into every district, and each hamlet
has its own branch, something similar to the lodges of
the Orange confederacy in Ireland.
The contemplated dissolution of the Orange Society
in Canada turns out to be an invention of the Opposition.
That loyal body, in number 45,000, are determined to
increase their strength and unity of purpose, so as to
make their influence tell on the future policy of the colo-
nial governors. The Canadian Reciprocity Bill, respect-
ing which Mr. Merritt has arrived in the States, is caus-
ing considerable attention in the provinces.
There are no fresh accounts from Mexico, California,
or Texas.

COMMERCIAL NEWS.
We have very little to notice regarding the state of
business in general throughout the Union, the reports
to hand being of a similar character to those we have
received for some time past. If anything, the tone
of the reports is more depressed, the heat of the weather
and the spread of the prevailing distemper driving all
the merchants from the cities and leading places of com-
merce.

The money market at New York continues very easy.
Specie was most abundant, and for all legitimate pur-
poses of business advances were obtainable at moderate
rates, the rates of interest ranging from 4 to 5 per cent.
Very contradictory statements are given regarding the
amount of gold to hand from California, but one thing
is certain that there is no want of that commodity for
investment.

The market for American securities presents on ani-
mated and busy appearance. The tenor of the advices
brought over by the Canada, which left this port on the
23d ult., had led to considerable investment in the lead-
ing state stocks, and much firmness, as well as a buoyant
spirit, characterised the business.

- Breadstuffs—There was a fair business doing in bread-
stuffs, at firm prices.
Cotton—The cotton market was active, and since the
arrival out of the Canada's news, a large business was
doing. _

Provisions—There was not a large business doing in
provisions, the demand being chiefly for home consump-
tion and ships' stores. Prices are at about the same rates
as last noted.

Exchange—There was a good business done in ex-
change up to the departure of the Hibernia, the rates on
London being 1081 to 109.

DEATH OF THE CHAPLAIN OF THE TOWER FROM
ASIATIC CHOLERA. Yesterday morning, at twenty
minutes to two, the Rev. Charles Boughton St. George,
clerk, and chaplain to St. Peter's, in the Tower fortress,
died from an attack of Asiatic cholera, under the fol-
lowing very distressing circumstances:—lt appears that
the reverend gentleman seemed in his usual health on
Sunday morning last, and preached his usual sermon to
a large congregation. His voice, which at all times was
perfectly clear and loud, suddenly fell towards the con •
elusion, and it became quite inaudible. After the ser-
mon was over he immediately went home to his parson-
age house, which adjoins the church, and was attacked
with vomiting, purging, cramps, and all the other symp-
toms which are characteristic of an attack of Asiatic
cholera. A surgeon was instantly called in, but the un-
fortunate gentleman gradually sunk, and died at the
above mentioned time. The deceased was universally
respected by all the officers and soldiers in the Tower,
and:his loss will be felt for some considerable time.
THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY AND MR. BROG•
DEN.—Sir F. Kelly, Mr. Melina, Q.C., and Mr. Bally,
attended yesterday afternoon before Vice-Chancellor
Wigrani, to move for the committal of Mr. Brogden for
contempt of court in not delivering up to the South-
Eastern Railway Company the portion of the North
Kent line executed by him, pursuant to his undertaking
given last Monday in court, to deliver up the line on
Saturday last at twelve o'clock, in whatever state it
might be. Mr. Brogden's solicitor appeared without
counsel, and after obk cting that Mr. Brogden had not
been personally served on Saturday with the notice of
motion, asked for time to answer the company's affi-
davits. The Vice-Chancellor was reluctantly induced
to give him till ten o'clock this morning, the company,
in the meantime to do all they can to serve Mr. Brogden
personally with notice.
The Masters have appointed Messrs. Birkbeck and
Ernest official managers, to wind up the affairs of the
Lancaster and Newcastle Railway; and Mr. Jay to wind
up those of the Metropolitan Railways Junction.
A SCHOLASTIC SINECURE.—The Blackburn Gram-
mar School must be rather a snug thing. "The present
master, the Rev. J. Bennett," says the Preston Chronicle
"has no scholars except his own two sons! No assistant,
though he receives the same stipend as his predecessor,
who had to pay three.

Earl GreyrOturned to town yesterday from his resi-
dence at Ratchet.
