Commartciar, SUMMART.—In every department of trade therd has been a steady bossiness going for ward, and the commercial advites generally by this steamer are essentially the same as those brought by the Caledonia. The price of cotton is still ad vancing, and largo sales are daily effected. Accounts from the manufacturing districts con tinuo of a satisfactory character. All branches of trado,appear to be' fully employed. In Il,lanChester there is a lively demand for every variety of cotton goods, and the accounts from India will doubtless give a further impetus to the trade, under the; influence of _favorableweather fur harvest operatione, and the increasing probability ,that the crops will generally be secured in good order, and that the harvest will be considerable above the aver age for several years past. The grain trade has continued, dull • and prices have a downward ten dency. -• Official:accounts have been received from various sections of England and Ireland, which leave no room to doubt but that the potato disease is begin ing to 'thew itself to considerable extent in withered and blackened stalks; but the tubers have as yet been affected only in a slight degree, and at present no apprehension is felt of extensive mischief. In 'cured provisions there has been but a very moderate amount of bUsiness transacted, and the values most description of has slightly receded, Metals continue to meet an improving demand, and prices are tending upwards. The official record shoWa a continued increase of mortality; arising from the general prevalence-of cholera in the! London districs, embraoing a poji ulation of about two millions two hundred souls.— The deOhs from all diseases have risen tite last week from 1900 to 2230, whilst the deaths from cholera have been succesively 926, 823, 1230. At Liver pool on Thursday the medical officers reported an increaseut the mortality of the borough, the deaths for the last week being from all causes 843 against 864 previous week; deaths from cholera 572 against 412 in the prelrious week. Manchester has suffered a trifle more than last week, but not so much as Leeds. There has been a good deal of mortality in the south of Ireland, but Scotland exhibits a very decided improvement. In Paris it has reappeared, but not yet to an alarming degree. In Holland, and especially in Amsterdam, following the course of water, the mortality has been very, severe, In other parts of Europe the disorder has sbated. The political news from England is devoid of the least interest, and the same nuty be said of the French and other continental news. There Ts" nothing of sufficient interest to warrant its being reported by telegraph: - Fnetica.—There is a complete lull in French pul itics. At the first meeting of Out pence congress, on Wednesday, in the great hall of St. Cecilleon, Chansiee de Antem, about 1500 persons were- pres ent, tho' celebrated Victor lingo in the chair. The , flags of all nations adorned the hull. The stars and stripes of the Uni;ed ) States occupied a conspicu ous position, floating side with the tri-colors of France and the English union jack, Mr. Cobden and ivieporty were received with becoming applause, and the American*gentlemen were saluted with en,- thusiastic cheers. Names of parties who gave in their adhesios - to the principles of the con ress were read, and then M. Victor lingo read his sp ch amidst immense applause. It is described as at exquisite niece of. composition, replete with the J/1 st benevo-,: lent sentiments. , It is understood that the French government have expressly forbidden speakers from makit 4 any allu sionAassing politics. I The French fu ids contin uelteady.- DAJBOART.—Theinteqigence from the eat of war in Hungary are of the most disastrous ind. The Hungarians have been 'defeated at all mints, and the cause which they have so courageo isly upheld against fearful odds, has fallen past reemption.— The,precise details of the circumstance which led to this unfortunate and unexpected re ult, cannot be ascertained from any, accounts width our reach; but of the main facts, that the Hungarian have , been forced to lay down thenj, arms and submit uncondi tionally to the Russian forces, there is no reason whatever to doubt. The operations of the Ilunga rians Uniler Dem, just preceding the termination of the struggle, are alone given in an, intelligible form, and', would seem, from the account before us, to have :had an imporrint influence fin bringing about the subinission of the Hungarians.' The Vienna correspondent of the London Time's, 'under date of August 18th,, says an official report of thefBth from Cal. Dossner, who is at Hermanstadt, gives the particulars of what has taken place in the south-west of Transylt;ania since the 4th, on which date Gen. Luders was th Galfalda . A fter Bem's de feat on the 31st at Schasburg he proceeded towards Medgyer, which he reached on the 3d with a force of 8000 and 17 guns. , Having been kilned at this -place by en artillery force from Clausenbug, consist ing of 4000, 800 horses and 12 guns, he proceeded toWsrds • Ilermanstadt.l Gen. This:lord, who had beMf left with 6 battalions, 8 guns and 350 Cos seeks to protect HerManstadt, had gone to Reiss markt and Multlnback l , - where he gained the victo ry 'mentioned yestesilq over insurgent Gen. Stein. All this having-,been made known to Gen. Leder. bj's his scouts; he foresaw Beni would full upon Ilsss ford, and probably drii.e him into Wallachia, and then take possession of Hermanstadt, nothing re mained to be done but to pursue Bent with all spec 1. Before, however, !lders could overtake him, he learned that Hesslord had actually been attackei and driven from his pessession, and after a murderous battle in the streets of liermanstadt, in which he had many killed and wounded, had been obliged to retreat to Salmacs. On the 6th at 10 A. M., Gen. Luder's army stood before iieribanStntlt, 6 battalions of the enemy, 500 horse - and 18 guns occupying the neighboring heights. A considerable reserto had ' been left in the city; the remainder of the army had gone in pursuit of llassford. A battle ensued, which ended in the complete rout of the Magyars. The Russian cavalry put such of the fugitive as at tempted to resist to the sword. The enemy, who lost 1200 prisoners and 14 guns in this battle, has 600 killed and 500 wounded. The troops which had followed Ilassford made the bsst of their , way after their routed comrades. The Russians inclu ding the less suffered by Hassford on the sth, had 364 killed and wounded. The battles of Schetibuig nod Ilermanstadt pro duced a most dispiriting effect upon the insurgents; many threw away their arms and sought refuge in the woods, while others came over to the victors.— The Vienna accounts by the way of Warsaw, of August 10th, state that the Hungarian diet having surrendered its powers to Gorgey, dissolved itself. A meetihg including Kossuth, Gorgey and Dem, subsequently took plabe at or near Arab, at which it was determined at once to put an end to the war as both sanguinary and useless. .Gorgey addressing ho council, protested that he had no hopes for the cause of Hungary. That all resistance was in vain, .and that nothing but utter ruin would attend the prolongation of tho struggle. Curgey's reasonin g induced a It rge number of the' Hungarian generals to side with him and to insist on surrendering. Not only Gorgey's corps hut also part of the besiegeing army, of Setnaspec, numbering in alrfrom 30,000 to 40,000, withstood Gorgey, and the war party .head ed by Kossuth, Bern, and the leading members of -the Hungarian parliament, had nothing left but to hasten to Orshova. It stated that they hare already entered upon Turkish territory, and it is also stated that M. Kos suth carried with him the insignia of the Hungarian empire, including the state jewels. Gorgey sur rendered to Prince Paskiewitsch under the one con dition if condition it, may be called, that the prince should intercesie'with the Austrian emperor for him self, his troops and his country. It is asserted that Gorgoy's 4legpeiate resolution was prompted by mutinous spirit of the Hussars. A Vienna letter in the Hindle Refortn states the number of troops L -that surrendered with Gorgey to have been 27,090 men, with 80 guns.—lt-was thought that Gen. K lap ka, would now be induced to surrender Comoro, es pecially as the city of Raab ivas on rho itsth inst, ccupicd by the Imperialists, who have likewise de- spaiched a corps to the valley of the Watig. From a Vienna letter of the' 17th inst. in the Kolmer Zeitung, it appears that'll. Kossuth intended to huld out to the last. He - has published a proclamation announcing a translation of his government from Arab to Orshova, where he is now protected by the Hungarian army from the Bacsk. • The Russian papers publish the following letter from .l'rince Paskiewitsch to his majesty the Czar of all the Russians:— , . ''Hungary lies at the feet of your imperial majes ty. The government of the-insurgents have trans mitted their power to Gorgey, and Gorgey, with the chief army of the insurgents, make an uncondition al surrender to the Russian army. His example will be followed by the other insurgent corps. The officers whom he emit to capitulate offered to pro ceed towith or without Austrian commissioners to the burps induced them to surreneer.' 1 have the for tune to inform your imperial majesty that Gorgey's only condition of his surrender was to be allowed to lay down his .arms to the majesty's artn:. 1 have made arrangements fur the insurgents to be disarm ed by Gen. Rutlig . er's corps. Respecting the extra dition of the prisoners I am in communication with the Austrian army. As for Gorgey, 1 keep him at . your imperial majesty's disposal." It was rumored that the Emperor of Russia' had set a pride of 6000 rubles of Kossuth's head, dead or alive. It is asserted by some of the ardent friends of Hungary that Gorgey has _proved himself a trai tor, and has yielded to the the golden arguments of the Russians. Kossuth's wife and family it is said have fallen into the hands of the imperial troops. ITALY.—Accounts from rurin state that the cham ber of deputies will grant the indemnity of seventy . - five millions of livers demanded by the government of Austria. The Emperor of Austria has extended to the end of September the amnesty hitherto offer ed to his Lombard Venitian subjects, and also to de serters from the Austrian army. The Austrian gov ernment, in return for the services rendered by it to the pope and to the dukes of forma and MOdena, has required that the navig,ati6n of the Po shall be rendered free. The government of Parma end Mo dena have consented to the demand of the Austrian government, and it is not dotffited that the pope will withdraw his opposition. MORE LIGHT UPON THE EXTRAORIIINA •RY CAPITULATION OP BUM. [The statements embodied in the following letters front Kos- UTH, in Ilie Loudon Timcs, dated Vientia, August 16th, go far to Enlighten us as to the antecedent circumstances which fed to what yet we cannot but look upon as the inexplicably sudden de feat and disaster which have befallen the cause of Hungary. A - series of letters, written by Kossum, had come to light. They et identry were 'intended to be kept in the Magyar camp, and by what means they were published, we are not informed, nor Is it matctinl 10 our pre-ent purpose, which is to show, that it was in a great measure owing to the want of union among the Hungarians themselves, that the terrible catastrophs already recorded in our column ,- , came upon and crushed them to the earth.;• But who dots not r dinire the eloquence and heroism of Kos. sum in his extremity, surrounded on every descrip tion! The letters alluded to are addressed to Gen. K issuth's leettrs will not be publish'ed, but I am enabled to give you some few extrac fis from them, which are of the highest interest, as' they not only throw a considerable light upon the reported Meson sions-in the enemy's camp, but - give u statement of the resources of the rebel gati'roment. Towards the middle of July Gen. Bem, was to hate received the sum of 800,000 florins in/notes and 30 and 15 krentzers (Is. 61.) from KoSsuth, but the latter was only able to send him 125,0(10 florins in addition to the sum which ho had forWurded him from St. think on the 9th of the same Month. Kossuth poling mit to the Pultsb chief the'difliculties of his position, it being utterly impossible to fabricate any notes or the moment, as it requires 14 days to ,pot its the presses which had' been Wien to pieces at Debree zin and Pesti'. "1 do all that a limmtn.being, can," says Kossuth, "but as I am tint the Creator, 1 cannut •make some thing out of nothing. For a whole year no receipts, emply .. clitlitrs when I took possession of them, and war! tAt the present moment I have the following troops \ to support: In TranTiylvania 40.000; Upper IlungarY and Comoro, 45,000: setter south army, 30.000 - ; \ Theiss army, :20,000; Peterwardein. 8,000: Nazi zy,8000; Gro...tva rdein, Arad, Szegedin, tze., 10,000: in all, 173,000 men, Add to these 18 re serve squadrons of Hussars, 7 infantry battalions in formation, :10.000 sick, 60,000 Landsturn, and our prisoners. the powder mills, foundry, gun, bayonet, and sabre factory, and the whole ckil administra tion to keep going, and you will, Lieutenant Gen eral, confess that the At hole is no trifle. And the batik Ole presses have been at et 'id still for a whole fortnight." Kossuth also complains bitterly of the want of harmony among the commanders in the smith, and particularly in Baum who refuses to acknowledge Veter as his commander, alleging that he (Bea) had invested Perczel with the supreme command in the south. Gorgey's disobedience is also alluded to, and Bem is ardently prayed, if Hungary is to besaved, to conic at once with his army from Tram.ylvania, to take the command of all the 'ft rimes which were then under Messaros, with Dembitisky as the chief of his stall: A passage in one of the letters is of the utmost importance, as it explains Ko.,suth's, in tentions in regard to the Danubian principa "Two emigrants, 11 desk antdßoliuk: have olTered to raise a Wallachian legion. Should you (11,m) make an inroad into Wallachia, (% !licit 1 shoold tvish,) let this legion form the advanced guard, as it might spread the report that we came us friends and delk erers.. In the proclimation it is a point of eminence to state that we come as friends to Rio 'Purls and Wallachians, to free them from the Rus sian yoke. The Turks pursue an evuivocal policy. "11 f ac t les compromettre." Kerauth !lather laments that Hem has abolished all civil jurisdiction in Transylva nia, and says, "hail the_ country is in 'lames in consequence. Why do yol , n thus compromise me, my dear Field Marshal Lieutenant?" Kossutlt states that he is very unwell. The last letter of this most interesting •coriespondence is orthe 211th of July.— It is from a Hungarian inajo4 nuouncing the ill suc cess of the Mag) ars'rn Wallachia, which lie attribn: les to the behavior of a certain M. Asczlau, whose name 1 have never before met with. The foregoing (add i the writer) will serve to show discord reigns in the c l amp, and to add to the diletmna, in which the iliMlrgelitS are. lbsmnii, and Paskie witsch are, just where Kossuth and Bela shotild, ac cording to their plan of operations be.

" The Albany Atlas thus natio-is the apologies put foith in the Republic for Gen alTaylor's attempts at speech-making.

If the eneral would preserve his popularity, he must be c refill how lie abandons that species of °inhalant° which distance lends to the view.

The cloth beitig removed, after a few prelim inary toasts, came that to the honor of the captain; "Our gallant guest—who has secured himself a name and a praise among, his countrymen, and ad ded terror to the courtesy of his country's flag."— The toast was drank with enthusiasm, and then all was quiet. A friend skiing next to the gallant captain said, "Sir, we are waiting for your speech" ,"A apeecie said the chivalrous but modest pull, "I can't make one; I don't know how." A gentleman on the op-. posits side of the table exclaimed, audibly, "Sir, von are in for a speech; don't you see the president is waiting for your response to the toast?"

The Washington Republic gites this anecdote as an etiology for General Taylor's lame efforts nt speech-making. ,It is well enough us far as it goes, but it will-not ic. , tve in the case. - If, after his blunt ' avowal that he/was no orator, !101l had gone on a tour lltrough,tlta country, proving lit by his absurd and siweehes, Le would have made people at most forget' his gallant services, in the folly of his ' ridiculous conduct. President Taylor has made some scores of addresses to the people on crops and cholera, %% lilt broken dosesof politics, which sound ed us if he had been taught a lesson before starting, and had forgotten it on his way. This tour, clnntneocea without invitation, and with no motive but a political one, and that made cruel and selfish by the existence of an epedemic which the excitement of Presidential parade tended to increase, is not calculated to elevate its hero in the estimation of the people. For ourselves, we can Imagine nothing more ridiculous than the spec tacle of a chief magistrate riding through the country, his squat form bedecked with wreathes and gold-lace, like a prize ox, his bowels in disorder, his head hardly less cottfuseq, receiving the kisses of his deputy do,tuinsters' tt irea and daughters, and show ing by his crude and undigested fragments of speech es and the frequentprostrationof health, that even this is too much fur his mental and bodily constit u ti in. -- 1A ; PE:1;1t031 By the. arrital of the Steamship Yacht at New Or leans from Gaviveston Whence t•lie Fiiiled on the 29th ammo, the papers of that city contain several items of inteiliizence, which are xvorth recording.

We do so with pleasure. It is riques lion upon which aU should be heard, and no - one partic ular class allowed to secure tho passage' of laws by Con gross for their immediate benefit. IVe have ever been in favor of cheap postage. By this, however, we aro not to be,understeed of favoring a system which will make the Postollice Department a burden upon the public treas ury. We set it down as a principle which shoubd not be departed from, that the postoffice! dopartme it should sup port itself. It was established to accoMmodato the pub lic, and those who use it, should he willing to contribute to its support as often as they avail themselves of it. and no more. If the postage on letters is reduced to a scale which will not pay tho expense! of labor in the offices, (and it is enormous and the worst paid in .the govern - ment,) and the cost of transportation, the 'deficit would have to come from the public treasury, and thus from the purkets'of the people! Under the present indirect way of taxation, the farmer in. the-Interior of Ponnsylyania pays much inure, in proportion to his property, into the public treasury than the merchant in New York or Boston. Yet ho may use To postollice on o c , a- year to receive a letter , from his son in the far west, or Ito may not. Thorn aro thousands who never use it, while the merchanta and business mon of, our cities and villages,' do so daily—nut to carry on friendly correspondence, but their business—tu put money in their purses. Now, they . should pay for the support of this.Departruent just in, pro portion as they use it, and it can be done in no other way than by making the receipts fur letters cover tho expense oldie labor in. preparing them fOr, and l ank transporta tion after they are so prepared. ' There is no kind of. jun tice or equity, or even common sense. in calling upo'S the whole people to pay for the support of a Department which is the vehicle of a portion in carrying on their mercantile and commercial' transactions—transactions from which they rintlize their thousands every year. It may be asked whet rate of. postage on letters wo think would pay the expense of labor and transportation. We answer:a auroral rate of five cents on a halfounce, paid invariably in advance. The Postoffice Department losses thousand's of dollars every year by*"doad letters," and us some ono ought to pay for these letters, we know of no better plan than pie-paymeut. But the object of the "Boston Cheap Postage Associ ation" is, more particularly to bring about tho total Abo lition of Ncivspriptir postage. To such a proposition we enter our discent in lute. The reason fur such dissent Is based upon the saute principle involyad above—it tottuld he unjust; not only unjust to the people, but to tho pub fishers. To the people, because, us above stated, , the deficit which LL would produce in the postoffice receipts, I would havo to come front the public treasury, and thus from `the pockets of the whole people. This would be' wrong. - Lot thoso who take newspapers pay the posy, _tags—let them pay it t,OO, in proportion to the distance they aro carried. it is noosenso to talk about the equity of a uniform rate of ono cent on newspapers for any dis tance. If is is worth twenty cents to carry a package of twenty "Observers,'" a distance of four miles, our neat est country postoffice. how much is it worth to bring tho mane number of the "Model Couriers" from Phdadel phis to this place, a distance -oloyer four hundred miles? %Vitt the "Boston Cheap Postage Association" ,answer us that question? Will they get their slates and cypher it out! The total abolition or newspaper postage would be unjust to the country publishers, because it would have the eiffiet of completely crippling the country 'Koss, and in the language of the Pittsburgh• Post, we cannot avoid thinking that 'some such end is at the fouudation of this wisociation. It is a notorious fact that the east has the ad vantage of the wesCat this time. In Pniladulpbin, Bas - ton, New York, &.c., a weekly is made up from the mat ter which has already appeared in the daily, and with these papers which cost little more than the paper, the whole west is flooded, to the almost entire starvationiof west ern papers not connected with dailies. If an entire free ; ostage, or the uniforiu cent postage is adopted, the west ern press will he stopped; just as surely as Keel-batting is stopped by Steam-boating ott the Ohio. Ho* is itiies sil for a western publisher, who works °frills pap'er on a It nd press to compete with au eastern publisher, wile works off his on a strain press. It cannot' be. And moreover, our western publishers are alone—they have not the pi ivilege of exchanging matter to save composi tion. We would say then, if Congiess wishes to previrt the east front monopolising the business of publication, they will not adopt a regulation, making postage on newspapers "Uniform" us the Boston association terms Uniformity. Those arc our views—that they will please the "Bos ton Cheap Postage Association" we do not expect. Per haps the gentlemen who forwarded no their circular, thought we could not see through its thin disguise—that the cool effrontery with which they call upon us, country publishers, to cut our own throats for tile benefit of New IM!I York, Boston, and Philadelphia merchants and put/iA ers, would ptevent our noticing tho cat in the meal tub. They aro'nnstakon hoWever—and wo 'can assure diem that tho Congressmen who hereafter votes to make newspaper postage uniform, or the postotlice a burden to the people, had better prepare to halg his political harp upon the willow, for his doom is sealed. We cannot better close this article than by copying the annexed, which we find in the last Fredonia Censor. It 'is from the Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Eagle, a paper we do not exchange with; "Furff I.simvaramms.—Since it begins to be apparent that the eonntry papers will hoc) n Make the mselves heard, and in spite of all opposition be freed from the tax fraud ulently imposekupon their local circulations, a few pa pers are taking matand to have newspaper postage abol ished altogether. In Great Britain and Brazil papers already circulate free of postage, and that is clearly the only uniform system that can be adopted having in it a shadow ofjustico. But a little reflection will satisfy eve ry body'that a free, system never can he carried into ef fect in this country union the government is willing to allow the Pastollice . Department to ho-taxed at least twenty millions per annum to pay the expenses. The venders of flash papers, and. the cheap trust in the large cities would send forth ten tons per week all over the Guinn, to load down steamboats, railroads and stages, and besides, the vendors of quack medicines, the owners of mammoth clothing stores, and large city establish monis of all kinds, would get. up newspapers of their own to circulate their advertisements at the expense of the government, and tax the Postoflico Department at least tonl millions per autumn in addition, for they also would send tons to all parts of the Union. This they are now doing to a considerable extent, pausing large expense and labor in attending to what is as much mere individu al business as letters, and of no public utility whatever. But Congress can give the people the full legitimate ben efit of a free system, and that by giving all papers a free circulation a short distance, say thirty miles, or through out their counties, and that will be sufficient for all pub lic purposes. for the local papers give the people just as much information asony others, and would sopa be ren dered as valuable.

Of courso a regular nomina tion in this county isas good as 'an election, hence_ wo may sot it down as a fixed fact that the fortunato indivi duals who compose that ticket will be our representatives in the next Legislature, etc., etc. No matter how oh: noxious any of them may bo to public tonsure—no :natter how dishonestly they may havo obtained their present porfornient, or to what tricks of political loger domain they may have resorted to procure their no minations—no matter what better men they may have pushed aside and rode Over—the whip of Erie county aro bound, like old 'Lack's three hundred slaves, to si lently bow to the beests of their masters here in 'town. Never, since the day Morgan's , ghost frightened them from their propriety, and furnished oar town political speculators with a convenient hobby to ride upon, have they dared td bolt a regular nomination. Even though Belzebilh himself should head their ticket—and we hum bly submit whethelone of his most favored imps does not hold that position in the preent opei,-they would swallow it, horns, hoofs and all. Bound together by the I principle of the "five loves and two fishes." they con trive, by a system of row&rdeand punishments, to stifle every murmur which from time to time twines to the lips of such of the leaders as may unfortunately hold a poor hand in the county convention. Under such circumstin ces is it to wondered at, that—as Hattie! IVebster said of Gen. Taylor's—nominations, "not fit to be made" are forced down the throats of the party. Is it to be won-: doted at, that where party fealty and political subservi oncy aro made the highest and brightest of virtue', me. aro placed in office, not because they come up to Gen. Taylor's professed standard of perfermont,•"honesty and capacity," but to appease a particular locility, or reward! political tricksters!
