HAMBURGH MAIL.

VIENNA, OCT. 19.—Authentic accounts from Monte-
nego say that the Vendika is on his way to Vienna ; it
is stated that he arrived at Trieste, and is expec:ed here
to•morrow or the next day.
With respect to the illness of the Grand-Duchess,
daughter of the Grand-Duckess Helen of Russia, there
are no hopes of her recovery. Her Highness is labour-
ing under pulmonary consumption, which is particu-
larly fatal in Vienna to some constitutions.
It appears that his Majesty the Emperor has resolved
to introduce oral proceedings in all civil causes. This
reformation is of immense importance to the hereditary
states, and will be hailed by all the inhabitants of the
empire as the beginning of a new era.
BERLIN, OCT. 22.—The Grand Duke Constantine,
who has been residing in this capital for some time,
and, as we learn, returns to St. Petersburgh at the latter
end of this month, is reported, in the higher circles, to
have been betrothed during his visit at Weimar to the
youngest daughter of the reigning Duke of Saxe Alten-
burg. His bride, the Princess Alexandra, was born on
the llth of July, 1830, consequently she is in her 17th
year.
VIENNA, OCT. 20.—The Society of the Trieste Lloyd
dispatches send a steamer, on the 26th of next month,
to Alexandria, there to wait for the arrival of the mail
frpiEgartm,..k„ Abav rite 6isportlitsity' of corresponding
wits. in la. As Trieste is in constant correspondence
with Alexandria, this arrangement is very judicious,
sad may tend to promote the hoped-for change in the
course of the Overland Mail.

'NORRKOPPING, OCT. 21.—Their Majesties arrived
here the evening before yesterday from Stockholm, by
say of Tulgarn, and were received with general enthu-
siam. The town was brilliantly illuminated ; the magis-
trates and the elders of the city received them at the
gates, and 50 young m,-n on horseback, bearing torches,
conducted them to their apartments. The Queen Dow-
ager arrived soon afterwards.

-Yesterday being the thirty-sixth anniversary of the
landing of the late King in Sweden, a numerous depu•
Cation waited on his Majesty, for permission to uncover
the fine statue of Charles John, which has been cast at
Munich, at the expense of the town. This permission
having been given, the ceremony took place with all the
pomp due to the memory of the deceased King.
BERLIN, OCT. 22.—The mission of the Duke Decazes
to Austria and Russia has met with some impediments,
the Cabinets of Vienna and St. Petersburgh, as it is
said, having spoken very decidedly on a certain transac-
tion.

HAMBURGH. OCT. 26.—A letter in the German Allge-
mezne Zeituny says :—" I can state to you, from a credi-
ble private letter from Rome, that the life of the Pope is
not safe. His holiness has received many warnings,
and must make a virtue of necessity.
. His dinner is
served at eleven o'clock, and remains standing till one,
till it is cold ; it is then examined by a chemist, and
warmed on the dinner table over a spirit lamp. His
cup of chocolate for breakfast is prepared by the Came-
rario in his immediate presence. When he goes to mass
he takes the host, the wine, and the water with him. At
a certain convent where he lately intended to administer
the Sacrament, he neither performed the ceremony, nor
took the usual refreshments. Such is the life of Pius
IX., the greatest benefactor of the Roman States."-___
Hamburgh Papers, Oct. 27.

CALIFORNIA AND NEW MEXICO.
The conquest of California and New Mexico extends
the boundary of the United States on the west coast
from the 42d to the 32d parallel of north latitude, and
produces a great alteration in the territorial possessions
of the belligerent Powers. The comparative size of
Mexico and the United States, in 1836, was as follows:
Acres.
United States territories 1,408,000,000
Mexican territories ... 1,081,600,000
We have now to deduct from Mexico
and add to the United States :
Upper California ... 240,860,160
New Mexico ... 137,472,000
Texas ... 123,904,000

502,236,160

Total (7,626,000 miles) 4,880,640,000 acres.
Deducting from Mexico and adding t 3 the United States
502,236,160 acres, and deducting from the United Status,
and adding to the British possessions, 32,000,000 acres
which the United States claimed, but ceded to Gr,,at
Britain by the Oregon treaty, the possessions of the
various Powers on the North American continent now
stand as follows:-
1846. Miles. Acres.

By the conquest of New Mexico 626 4,
and Santa there,ooo
has
been added to this union a population estimated at
300,000 souls, mostly Indians. We estimate California at
100,000, and New Mexico at 200,000. New Mexico
contains the best gold mines on the continent ; also,
silver, copper, and iron mines. Agriculture is carried
on by extensive irrigation, for which the mountain
streams afford great facilities. California is said to con-
tain valuable mines of coal, iron, zinc, gold, and quick-
silver, but for agricultural and grazing purposes its im-
portance has been overrated, the protracted droughts of
summer having thus far baffled the skill of the American
people.—New York Sun.

TIIE GREAT WESTERN.—LIVERPOOL, SA TURDA Y.—
The noble Atlantic steam-ship Great Western, Captain
Mathews, sailed hence this afternoon for New York,
with a complement of 96 passengers, including Sir Allan
M'Nab, of Canada. The departure of the Great Western
to-day, within the brief space of six days since her
arrival, presents a notable instance of commercial
dispatch.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT,--OR Saturday evening a
female named Emma Evers, while crossing from the
eastern to the western side of Blackfriars-bridge, was
caught by the wheel of an omnibus ; at the moment, a
cart, heavily laden with wood coaling up, she got jammed
between the two vehicles, and so seriously injured, that
her life is in great jeopardy. She was taken to the house
of Mr. Rose, surgeon, at the corner of Stamford-street,
Blackfriars-road, when, upon examination, it was found
that the pelvis was so injured, that he deemed it de-
sirable that the sufferer should be removed to St.
Thomrs's Hospital, where she was conveyed in a very
weak state.
