Jlrriral of the Cambria.
ST. JOHN, N. B. Sept. 20.
The Cambria arrived at Halifax at half
pas? six o'clock lasrt evening, having had
heavy weather, and was to leave for New-
York at 8 o'clock on the same evening. •
The cholera was greatly increasing in j
England. The deaths for the week end
ing Bth instant, in London, were 1796, of
which 1603 were of cholera. In Liver
pool. the deaths of cholera were said to be
greater in proportion, than in any part of
England.
In Dublin it was on the increase.
{Several distinguished persons have died
of cholera in Paris and in other parts of;
France.
Vienna and Berlin are at the present
time suffering more than Paris. At Berlin
the deaths arc more than 40 per day. i
The markets are dull, without much ;
change. .
The weather for harvesting was fine in
all Great Britain.
The Liverpool Journal of the Bth says :
"The harvest has been safely housed, and
is pronounced abundant, as the potato is
redundant and is so far exempted from rot."
Trade is active, is not lucrative, and em
ployment in the manufacturing districts
await ail who desire it.
The Queen and Roval Family were still
in Scotland, and would return to London
or, the 13th.
Austria ami Hungary.
THE LAST HOPE GONE. —Comorn and
Peterwardien still hold out—the former is
c >remanded bv Klapka, and the ,ater by
Kul. '
The Russian General Berg had a lone
interview with the rater an the 23d ult., the
result of which was that an Hungarian
Major was sent to Gen. Hayoau to arrange
terms for the capitulation. The iinpreg- j
nable position of Comorn induces Klapka
to demand good conditions.
MAGYAR CHIEFS EXECUTED BY THE AUS
TRIAN'S.—A letter from \ ienna,of Tlie 31st
ult., states that several of the Magyar
chiefs had been executed. Among them
are the ex-Minister ol Austria, Pobobiah
and Gen. Dawianeh, who had been hang- j
ed; ami Gen. Aufferrnan, who had heen
shot. Gen. lowiah, who gave up the for- j
tress of Esseg to the Magyar?, had been
taker? to Vienna in chains.
HEARTLESS CRUELTY.—The mother and
children of Kossuth, and the wives of sev
eral Magyar Generals, had arriv 1 in Pres
burg.
MOVEMENTS OF RUSSIAN TROOPS.—The
great part of the Russian Army had re
ceived orders to march towards Gallicia,
but the corps d'ctnnec of General Rudiger
was to remain at Mickelog and Grosswar
dein.
Buda and Pesth are to have a garrison
of3oou men.
ENTRY OF HUNGARIANS INTO TURKEY.—
The Hungarian corps of Perezel entered
Orsova, but the Turkish authorities would
not receive them until they had laid down
their arms.
FATE OF THE HUNGARIAN DlET.—Geor
pf-y's surrender was know at Comorn on
the 18th, and summons were sent to the
garrison, either to follow his example or to
tend in their terms of capitulation.
Klapka, and those members of the late
Hungarian Diet who had declared that the
house of Hapsburg had forfeited all claim
to the throne of Hungary, and whom the
Russians handed over to the Austrian au
thorities, had been convoyed to Pesth.
THE REWARD.—Letters from Vienna
Elate that the Emperor of Austria has par
doned Gorgey, and the latter departed for
Styria, where he intends for the present to
reside.
Vi'-nna was taken possession of" by the
Imperialists, on the 27th.
Prussia and Austria.
On the German questions there is to be
a directory, consisting of members for the
i 'on federation, provided by the Cabinets
o? Vienna and Munich, and it is 10 hold
i t sittings at Frankfort.
The Directory will be a permanent Ex
ec vi'ive Commission tor the common inter
est of the whole of Germany. The States
who adhered to the restricted confedera
tion, under the direction of Prussia, will
have between thein three votes, and Austria.
Bavaria, Wurturnbtirg, and the other small
States, will have together four votes.
Sucii at least is the proposition of Aus

Voters of Pennsylvania.
The second Tuesday of October is rapidly ap
proaching. A day somewhat memorable in the
annals of our Commonwealth, as the anniversary
of many a hard fought political battle—a day on
which the voters of the " Keystone of the fed
eral arch," are to manifest by their ballots,
whether they remain true to the faith, which
they so gallantly set forth one short year ago—
a day on which the mighty question, whether
the citizens of Pennsylvania are in favor of
Whig or Locofoco measures, is to be determined
—whether they will sustain the National and
State Administrations, or whether they will for
sake them just as the harvest is ripening, and
beginniug to invite the reapers and the gleaneis.
We cannot, we will not believe that the
Whigs, whose weapons are yet fresh with the
indices of victory—who know that the Locofo
cos are straining every nerve to retrieve their
fallen fortunes—who see them marshallingthcir
hosts, and who daily hear them maligning that
great and good man, Zachary Taylor—will
sleep on their arms, and permit them to obtain
an easy victory. Wc do not believe it, because
the principles for which they so nobly contend
ed in the double campaign of 1848, ate unchang
ed in character and importance. We do not be
lieve it, because. President TAYLOR and Gov-
JOHNSTON have proved true to every pledge. So
anxious was TAYLOR to become better ac
quainted with the wants of Pennsylvania, and
so important did he deem her interests, that,
notwithstanding the oppressive heat of the sea
son, and the prevalence of a fearful epidemic, he
left the White House, hastened to our State,
and mingled freely with our citizens, in order
that he might, in his own language, " become
better acquainted with her agricultural, mineral,
and manufacturing greatness." This was a no
ble act, conceived and carried out by an honest,
a patriotic, and a good man. We do not be
lieve it, because in this, the voters of Pennsyl
vania, who contributed so largely to the tri
umphant election of Zachary Taylor, have an
earnest that be wills JUSTICE to her BETRAY
ED interests, and her DOWN TRODDEN CITIZENS ;
because, from this, they may learn that the Lo
cofocos, who sought to persuade them that HE
was opposed to the protection of American in
dustry, misrepresented him in their wicked at
tempt* to deceive them, and if they judge the
present for the past, they w ill see that they are
ilose playing the ame game with the same cards.
We do not believe it, because like causes pro
duce like effects—as locofocoisui failed tkeu,
so it will fail again.
But why should the electors of Pennsylvania
rally around the standard of HENRY M. FUfi-
EER, and elect him to a seat in the Board of
Canal Commissioners ? We think no one who
will ask himself this question with candor and
impartiality, can for one moment be at a loss for
a score of cogent and convincing answers.—
Every reasonaide rnan will admit, that the
Board should be made up of men from both par
ties, as the opportunity for " plunder," which it
is admitted has for some years been carried on
by the officers on the public works, will be
greatly diminished, if it be not entirely destroy
ed. The candidate who is to be elected this
fall, is to take the place of Mr. Power, the on
ly Whig now in the Board ; hence the propriety
—yea the wisdom of electing Mr. Fuller.
Again, we have seen the government of Penn
sylvania , Executive, Legislature, State Treas
urer, and Canal Board, all in the hands of the
Locofocos, for a long scries of years, and in
what condition have, they left the Slate, ? Maim
ed, halt, hut thanks to the intelligence of the
people, not blinil. The torturing process of
"plunder"—the lancing of a vein at one [dace
and an artery at another—the cutting oil an arm
here and a leg there—gave such excruciating
pain, that she opened her eye*, and seeing the
political character of her rulers to be of such
"hideous mien," with one convulsive throe,
one gigantic effort, hurled them from place and
power. The farmers saw that no relief would
he given to their purses, that no reform mea
sures would he originated aud put into practice ;
the manufacturers knew that locofocoism was
inimical to their interests, and their operatives
learned by bitter experience that "Folk, Dallas,
and the Tariff of '42". was a cheat; hence all
classes, in the majority of FREEMEN, rose up
determined to rebuke their juggling and unwor
thy rulers. The result is before us—Gov. JOHN
STON has been in power hut little more than a
year —a large amount of debt due to private in
dividuals, contracted under locofoco misrule,
has been paid ; the August interest liquidated in
gold and silver; a SINKING FUND for the
gradual payment of the Slate debt created, and
a hundred and fifty thousand dollars appropria
ted for the completion of the North Branch
canal! Here is a galaxy of REFORM MKA
SURES, brought about in a few months under
Whig rulers, calculated to cheer the farmer at
his plough, and the mechanic in his workshop.
Here is a hope that the ponderous cloud of State
debt, which has for so many years of locofoco
prodigality and plunder weighed so heavily up
on the energies of our glorious Commonwealth,
ami which has so long rendered gloomy and
cheerless the pathway of the patriot and the
tax-payer, will gradually though steadily grow
lighter and more transparent, until, by contin
uing a succession of Whig administrations, it
will become entirely blotted out, and be remem
bered no more forever, except in connexion
with locofoco plunder and misrule.
Voters of Pennsylvania, our candidate for
Canal Cammissioner, lIENEY M. FULLER,
was an energetic advocate of these REFORM
MEASURES. He helped to bring them into ex
istence, by his speeches and his votes, during
the last session of the Legislature. He applauds
and approves them, and to whatever position he
may be called he will sustain and defend them.
His opponent, John A. Gamble—inferior to
Mr Fuller in every respect—denounces all
these measures as " whig humbugs," arid if
elected, will exert himself, as he now does, to
overthrow and destroy them, and to renew the
system of corruption, and rc-enact the practice
of "leeching and bleeding." On the one hand
stand FULLER and REFORM, on the other

OVR JAIL. —As will be seen by an adver- 1
tisement in another column, the two individu- !
als who wore last week immured in our coun- i
| ty jail, have already succeeded in making their
j escape. This affords another instance ot the
total inefficiency of that building, in its present
' condition, to secure persons charged with crim- j
inal offences. Prisoners, now, who are taken
into the front door, merely examine its inner
appearance, and acquaint themselves with the
manner of living within its walls, when, if
these do not coincide with their views of social
life, they deliberately climb over the back wtll
and seek other accommodations. Such a state
, of things should not long be suffered to exist,
for if one offender after another thus easily
evades the law, crimes will soon be perpetrat- j
ed in this county with perfect impunity.

The Dilticnlty with Frante.
Home of our contemporaries, in speaking of
the difficulty that has arisen between the
French Embassador and our Government, would
lead their readers to the belief that an eruption
with France is inevitable. This, however, we
regard as a rash and unqualified predication. In
our enlightened age. Governments do not usu
ally appeal to War, as the only alternative, for
the settlement of the petty quarrels of their re
presentatives. and eonsequently, we have reason
to expect that an amicable adjustment of all
di&rcnces, in this case, wili be speedily ef
fected. The New York Tribune, in referring
to this subject, savs :
We have no doubt that our Government has
acted with proper discretion, dignity, and firm
ncw in the matter of its difference with the
French Embassador. We know that the lat
ter has received his disrnistal, and that our
Minister will of course be served with a dupli
cate of it at Paris. " Well: what of it!" It
the salaries would stop in consequence of this
llare-up, that would be something; but we
don't apprehend any such extraordinary disas
ter as that. Both Ministers will get their pay
lor the whole period that Diplomatic inter
course may happen to remain suspended; and
after a v.hilc Mr Hives or some one else will
make his bow and gracious speech in Paris, as
the accredited Representative of the United
States, while a welcome successor to M. Pous
sin will put his legs under the President's ma
hogany at Washington. There will be some
more dust kicked up, hut our two Nations are
not going to war on a question of Diplomatic
etiquette. Ixiuis Napoleon may hate us, but
lie will not declare war, because lie lias no
means of successfully assailing us; while if he
wants Non-Intercourse, we will ho'd up both
hands for it. But he is not fool enough to de
sire that. The artisans of Paris and I.voiis
hate bim sufficiently already; a Noil inter
course will secure for him the hatred of their
masters as well It would not hurt this coun
try in the least, but would be far more likely
to benefit it. All these considerations lie in
plain sight. France will not initiate a Non-
Intercourse—and certainly wc need not. As
to war, Persia might as sensibly oeclare war
against us. The idea is absurd.
We care not a button winch side loses or
wins in the stock-gambling operations of the
day ; but whoever expects war to grow out of
this breeze will very certainly be disappointed.
Nrgirct of Polilicul Dtitifs.
It's no use, says the Daily News, crying over
spilt milk, and the truly wise avoid such mis
haps. In the. single county of Cumberland, in
Maine, four Representatives sufficient to
change the character of the legislature—were
lost to the Whigs through inactivity. Every
one of them might have been carried had an ef
fort been made, lor the highest majority against
them was hut eleven But 110. There are some
who never awake until after an election. Then
they open their eyes in astonishment, and won
der at themselves for not having thought in
time of putting forth an effort. We have many
of the same class of men in our own State.
They despair of success from the simple fact
i tnat an effort is required to achieve it ; and iuvi-
I ting defeat through their own inactivity, involve
j those who do work, and work hard, in the same
j consequences with themselves We trust, how
j ever, that all these may he aroused, and that no
man shall have it to say after our election is
over, that his duty has been neglected. Let lis
he. warned in time—profit by experience, and
j aU go to work now.

Indians at Rice. Lake and drove them back.
Further dfliiculties are still apprehended.
A Distressing Case.
We find the following curious case described
in the Dresden (Term.) Advertiser of the 2Cth
May:
On Monday last, a lady about 40 years of age,
, presented herself to Dr. A. D. Cutler, of this
1 place, for his advice and treatment. Her case
!is a strange and perplexing one. Language
j would fail to convey anything like an adequate
' idea of the suffering which she constantly en
j dures. She is reduced to a mere skeleton—is
! never still; looks worn and haggard, and says
she is only kept alive by the pain and torment
j which she endures. There is a live rtptile or
j something else of a similar character, in her
i stomach, and extending up into her throat
J nearly to the roots of her tongue. Externally,
• its movements are seen perfectly plain, and by
j applying the hand to her throat or stomach,
one can feel its motions distinctly, and cannot
; use presure enough to stop these motions.
When she does not eat her regular times its
contortions are much worse, almost past endu- j
! ranee. When she attempts to eat, she cannot
I use a knife or fork, she has to use her hands to
J cram the food into her throat, in order to satisfy
j its craving voracity—after her rneals are over,
she is troubled less with its writhing and contor
tions for a short time. She says she is always
starving—seldom or never sleeps—she appears
j on the verge of the mania and has convulsions
;at times. The movements of this thing she de-
I scribes as worse than the cutting of a knife.
By pressing down the back part of her tongue
so as to open the upper part of her throat, a por
! tion of the head of this thing has been distinctly
' seen, resembling in appearance the end of the
i head of an eel.
INTERESTING FROM FLORIDA.—The National
: Intelligencer of the 21st inst., states that the
I War Department have information from Gen.
Twiggs, that an interview had taken place be
tween an officer of our Government and some
of the leading men of the Florida Seminoles,
which resulted most satisfactorily. It has been
ascertained that the outrage committed on In
dian river and Pease creek were committed by
i a party of five young Indians, one of whom was
a refugee, who thought that he might escape
from justice by embroiling his people in a war
i with the United States. The Seminoles dis
claimed all connexion with the perpetrators of
I the outrages, and stated that immediately after
the offence was committed on Indian river an
I attempt was made to capture the offenders, but
that they were not taken until after the second
! outrage. The offenders are now in custody,
i however, and will in due time be delivered to
the proper authorities. A meeting between the
Head Chief of the Seminoles and Gen. Twiggs j
was appointed to take place at Charlotte Harbor
j on the 13 inst.. and we may presume, thereforj.
! that the interview has already occurred. That
the Florida Indians are peaceably disposed is
now considered beyond a doubt.
j
lhs INNOCENCE MADE MANIFEST—About six
! years ago, .\lr. Augustine Kcnnerly, the City
I Collector, of St. Louis, was charged with being
; a defaulter to the amount of SBOOO. lie pro
i tested his innocence, said it must be owing to
j an error in auditing his accoun's, and request
ed that a Committee of Councils should ex
i amine his books. This was done, but no error
detected —leaving it manifest that lie was a
defaulter. Disgraced end ruined, Mr. K. was ]
| dismissed from his office.
Recently the present Auditor had occasion to
| overhaul an old day book, where he found that
SIO,(HH) was marked posted, though no posting
I was made. This was an error which the com
mittee and Mr. K 4ad been unable to ferret
! out. Thus it will be seen that, instead of.Mr.
Kenncrly being a defaulter, the city owes him ■
£2OOO, with six years interest, which ia but
j poor recompense tor his blighted reputation.
! though it must be indeed a gratification to him
I to make his honesty manifest even at this late
j day.
FATAL CASUALTY.—Jacob Bodine, of Mcln-
Itre township, Lycoming county, and son of
John Bodine, formerly of Northumberland
county, came ton sudden death, on the 7th in
stant. vVhile at the house of Henry Apker,
he desired to try an old State rifle which Mr.
A. had in his possession, in order to see how it
j would do for target shooting. The lock of this
| rifle, it appears, was somewhat out of order,
j and subjected to go off at half-cock. The de
ceased, not aware of this, struck the butt end
I of it with considerable force on the ground,
, which caused the gun to go ofl", the ball enter
ing the r'glit temple, close to the eye, and
passing tip through the cranium, caused in
' stant death.
