ST. JOHN, N. b.,

Wednesday May l6-lA AM
The steamship Canada, Captain Judkins, with
81 through passengers, arrived at Halifax on Mon
day evening, at half-past six o'clock, making, with
two exceptions, the quickest passage out on re-
cord, and quicker, from two to seven days
than she ever performed the passage before.
Our express left Halifax at o'clock, and every
possible exerton was made to get the news through
for the morning papers of Wednesday, but unfortu
nately there was no steamer in readiness to take II
across the Bay of Fundy-the express steamer
having been detained here longer than usual, on
account of very heavy storm in the Bay, which
1t was desirable to avoid
| The Canada brings Paris dates to the evening Of
the Sd, London of the morning Of the 4th, and
Liverpool to the afternoon Of the 4th instant She
was to have left Halifax at o'clock, and may
therefore, be looked for at New York early thit
morning.
The London money market continues steady
and English securities are on the advance. Con
soils for money and account opened on Monday al

There is no material decrease in the stock Of
bullion held by the Bank of England. The tota
amount of gold shipped to the United States, ex.
elusive of f25, 200 on board the Canada, is stated
at f411,9O0.
The accounts from New York, by the Niagara,

rally to check the expectations of specie.
There is an improved demand in the London
market for American stocks, more particularly in
Pennsylvania 5per cents. That stock is quoted at

The Hungarian War.
Official notice of the Intervention of Russia in
Hungary, has been received at Paris.
The number of men placed at the disposal Of
Austria, is $4,000.
Another account states the number at l50, 900.
The war in Hungary, SO far at least as Austria is
concerned, is daily assuming more serious as
pect; the Austrans have been signaly defeated and
driven to the edge of Hungary, ifno out of the coun-
try altogether; the undoubed success of the Hunga
rams has caused dismay to the seat Of empire, and
Vienna dreaded their triumphant APPROACH
Appearances are decidedly against her. The dis
asters in Hungary tend to modify the tone of Aus
tria in Piedmont-Radetzky has reduced his de-
mands for ndemnities, from tive hundred and thir-
teen million francs to eighty millions, which is
acceptable to Sardinia, and treaty of peace has
accordingly been concluded.
We have intelligence from Berlin to May lst
Matters continue in much the same state as before
The number of the military within the city has
been increased. 1t is rumored that Prussia has
entered into an alliance with Russia and Austria
against Hungary.
Letters from Pesth to the 18th ult., confirm the
oC nf hat b,,
ralists The same letters assert that at Pesth the
people were displaying, it may be said, In sight of
the imperialists, Hungarian cockade and colors
The orthodox away to Vienna.
Presburg is being put into a state of defence
with the greatest haste.
Benz has not gone IN the direction of Wallachia,
as it was said, but has marched to Temeswar.
The suspension bridge between Pesth and Ge-
noa the largest in the world, and the pride of Hun
gary, has been destroyed by the Austnans, in order
to cover their retreat.
The whole line of the imperial troops have now
retired to the position of Raab, their left wing
being still near Comorn, and sending at intervals
some shells into the fortress.
The Magyars are advancing towards Vienna, on
the left side of the Danube. Probably the imperial
army will be obliged to return to the Marchfeld,
near Vienna, as the only means of resisting the
Magyars. The imperial troops are entirely disor-
ganized.
The news from Pesth is to the effect that the
Hungarians have obtained possession of the Island
of Schutt, in the Danube, and that they have cut
of the retreat of the Imperialists.
The army in Hungary have caused the Prussian
government TO concentrate an army of observation
Il
Austria demands Russian interference in the az
fairs of Hungary, and it was expected that the En-
peror of Russia would publish manifesto explain
ing his motives for interfering.
Important from Prussia.
The King Of Prussia has again quarrelled with
his Parliament, and has definitely refused to accept
the imperial crown of Germany. On the 10Th, the
second Chamber having passed some obnoxious
resolutions against holding Berlin longer in state
of siege, was forthwith dissolved by royal ordi-
nance. This gave great displeasure to the people
of Berlin, and was the immediate cause of a popu-
lar commotion, which was, for the time, suppress
ed by the soldiers, but moi until more blood had
been shed.
On the 18th ult., the Prussian ministry sustained
another defeat in the second Chamber. In conse-
luence Of these successive defeats sustained by the
government IN the second Chamber, on the Ger
man question and on the motion for terminating
The state Of siege, the cabinet resolved TO dissolve
that body. The excitement caused by the dissolu-
ton, in the city of Berlin, speedily assumed
serious aspect. Groups of men began to assemble
IN the principal squares, patrols were called out,
blows were exchanged, and some arrests were
mace An officer, who had ordered his detach-
ment back to the barracks, was struck, and his
men avenged the insult by discharglng their
muskets at the aggressors One man is reported
TO have been killed, and others wounded. On the
18th ult. attempts were made to erect barricades
n several points on the Hebratz. The soldiers
were compelled to fire, and the casualties in the
evening were ascertained TO be four killed one Of
whom was a woman, and five wounded. On the
18th, several other persons were shot by the mill
lap, but subsequently order was restored.
