BIBLE CHRISTIANS !  AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.—TO all appearance Georgey has succeeded in bringing the rest of his army over the Theiss. The 3d Austrian army corps has gone to reinforce the Ban of Croatia, who still holds the left Danube bank, facing Peterwardein. The hordes of Dembinsky, lying near Czegled and Szolnock, are held in check by the second army corps of Baron Haynau, whose great object object is to force them behind the Theiss, and prevent their crossing the Danube. The Hungarians have, altogether, 160,000 men and 250 canon, without including the Landstrum. This army is divided into four masses, under the leadership of Gorgey, Bern, Dembinsky, and Vetter. The beaten Ban has his head quarters at Ruma. General Haynau has marched to his aid with a body of 30,000 men, and 10,000 Russians are marching in the same direction from Orsowa ; but before leaving Pesth Haynau published a proclamation, threatening with death all who, either by words or acts, or by wearing revolutionary colours favoured the rebel cause, or who formed any plots, &c. Letters from Vienna state that the recent defeat of Ban was owing to one of his officers having traitorously communicated his plan to General Bern. The officer, a captain, had been placed in irons. A bulletin from the Russian head quarters of Aszod, on the 21st, says that in a cavalry engagement in the district of Jazyque the Magyars, though greatly superior in numbers, were driven beyond Tat Almas, in the direction of Tames Kata. The Breslau Gazette of the 26 inst. says, "The Russians lost 6000 killed and wounded in the afair of Waitzen. The battle lasted two days. There were 120 pieces of ordnance in the field. The second day the rear guard of Georgey made a terrible resistance. The Austro Russian army is surrounded in the centre of Hungary. Klapka defends Acs; Georgey and Dembinski, with 80,000 men, defend from Ypolsak to Tokay, Ucsay, and Guyon. They have been compelled to turn nearly all the churches and public edifices into hospitals for the wounded Russians." Letters from Vienna of the 28th stated that Temeswar has surrendered to the Hungarians. The aqueducts which conveyed water to the fortress had long been destroyed, and the fall of this important place, after an obstinate siege, was to be expected. Other news, from the same source, is not less important. The Magyars have entered Semlin, and Dembinsky has defeated Paskewitsch at Gyongyos. The possession of Semlin opens to the Magyars all the country to the borders of the Danube, from Essege to Orsova. They are in direct communication with Turkey, and are able to provide themselves from Belgrade, which is friendly to them, with everything they require. The Jewish Chronicle says that some time ago Kossuth presented himself in the synagogue of Grosswardein, to thank the Jews for their devotion to the national cause. He asked pardon of the people of Israel for the persecutions of the past times, and concluded his address by a solemn promise that, in future, the Jews should enjoy the same rights as the other inhabitants of Hungary. During one of the recent engagements between the Austrians and Hungarians, near Comorn, a battle painter named Lalleman, was killed by a cannon shot while he was taking a sketch of the fight.  From St. John's, Newfoundland, we learn from papers brought to England on Saturday last, that a serious riot had occurred between rival parties of Roman Catholics and Orangemen. The troops were compelled to quell the 6neute, but twelve persons were killed and a number wounded, The Indian papers contain a lengthened report of the proceedings in the trial of the Dewan Moolraj for complicity in the murder of Vans Agnew and Anderson. The evidence for the prosecution had consumed six days, and was not yet brought to a conclusion. At present the chances of a conviction are slender.  Letters from Berne, of the 2nd, announce the opening of the session extraordinary of the Federal Assembly on the preceding day. It approved unanimously of the levy of troops which had been made. The question of the refugees was referred to a committee of seven members. General Dufour was to be sworn in as Commander-inChief on the following day.
