HUEGARY AND AUsTRm.-rhe Northern papers
contain the following advices by the Capada in
regard to the Hungarian war:
The news from Hungary and Austria is contra.
dicOfy Some accounts give the advantage 70 the
Austrans In the South two actions had taken
place, both terminating TO the advantage OF the
lmperiasls. The Hungarian General Perczel
from Fortress Warden, attacked some Austrian
entertainments, but was ultimately repused, though
the Ausirians admit their own troops suffered se-
yerey. The other battle WAS fought by Baron
Jellachich and is asserted 10 have been brilliant
victory The Austrian accounts, however, are not
trustworthy, atleast as regards their own losses
The Loudon Globe of the 22l has intelligence TO-
the l6Th Of June, giving accounts Of tremendous
encounter with the Hungarians. The Austrians
and Russians are said to have been completely de-
feaied, and left $4,000 killed upon the field. Tile
battle took place on a large plain between Raab
and Reiselburg, and lasted Ga hours. The Magyar
loss, it was stated, was 5000 men. The Austrans
were commanded by Haynau the Russians by
Rudiger, and the Hungarians by GOrRy. Although
the news Of this battle was received by private let
ters no public journal alludes to it. Tue Iloyd's
Of Vienna, contains no alluson.fo the Battle
Another affair is mentioned as having taken place
at Gonna. A brigade was sent BIZ Schlick from
Odenburg, under General Wyss, who was taken
prisoner; Ihlan and Colonel Iessner were killed
General Sehlick sent his brigade to cover his righ
flank, and whilst marching 70 Rasb was beaten on
the 18th nit Some reports represent the whole
brigade to have been DESTROYED; others that 4QCJ
had deserted Schlick and gone to the Wagyars
For three days carloads Of women continued to
pour into Presburg from the places round about
Fresh recruiting throughout all Austria is intended
Letters from Odenburg state that a certain C,onnt
lmperiast Chamberlain, and Others in whose pos.
session numbers Of passports Of the rebel Marty
have been found, have been arrested.
The only mention or allusion which can be
CLEANED IRON the Vienna papers, regarding The
great battle fought between. the 18Th and l5th
near kaab, Is the surmise that the defeat of the
brigade Of Ten. Wyss gave rise 10 fabulous rumors
On the other hand, the otherauihorities maintain
that the ronl Of Gen. Wyss is only an episode OF
the other battle.
A letter Of the 18Th ult, from Cracow, in The
Bresau Gazette, mentions the affair between the
vanguard of the Magyars aud Russians within ne
iGallIcian frontiers. At Gordonow the Russian
Colonel Magden, was killed; 200 Cossacks were
cut OIL and taken prisoners. Another letter dated
Cracow, l5th, reports an engagement at Eng Pass
between the Russian advance-guaFd and tie Hun

Edmond Becquerel's researches respecting the
acton OF magnetism on all bodies or substances
have begotien keen controversy, and earned him
harsh rebuke IN The world of physical SCIENCE He
rejects all distinction between diaB7agnelisal and
magnetism proper. You are aware that the illus

talns IT. To reject H. is 10 ignore that certain sub

Becquerel promises memoir ON the action Of heat
on lie magnetic phenomena OF all bodies Paris
scientific reporter cites from BecqueTel The follow

Fucker and others, such language is a disgrace ia
France: Since solid bodies and liquids obey the
action OF magnets, the gases must be likewise af-
iectedj only, priori it should have been pre-
summed that the influences would be very feeble
considering the little Of volume subjected TO the

Depreiz says, 10 sum OPP, If we should admit as
true, only what is strictly demonstrated we infer
from cur experiments that the contraction Of the

Inc elder Becquere reports, that after every pos

OF accidental electrical currents it he's been i'm
