The Britannia' arrived at Halifax on tho
31th inst., at 13 o'clock P. M., and left for
Boston at 9, A. M., Inst Friday. She arrived
at her wharf, at thjr latter city, at 1, P. M .,
having made the passage in fourteen days.
"The Britannia passed the Acadia at 7, A
M., on Friday, about forty miles west of
Halifax. ;
' The Niagara made the passage home ia 10
days and 17 hours. '
The steamship Sarah Sands, Captain
Thompson sailed from Liverpool on the 7th

The Bunna Vista arrived at Halifax on
Thursday, P. M., and will leave for Boston
on the arrival of the next English steamer.
The state of affairs in Ireland has material
ly changed, though every day seems to les
sen the probability of any serious outbreak
That this unfortunate country is not now
plunged into all the horror of a civil war is
not to be attributed to the disinclination of
the people to rise in arms, but rather owing
to tha want of able and trustworthy leaders.
No serious disturbance in Ireland has oc
curred since the sailing of the Cumbria. The
Tribune's news of tho battle of Slicvennmon
is proved to be as was expected by everybo
by, a most outrageous hoax. William Smith
O'Brien was arrested at the Railroad station
at Thurlesj on Saturday evening last, whilst
in the act of procuring a ticket for Limerick,
where, it is said, he intended to take refuge
among his friends. Immediately after his
arrest, he was marched to Bridewell, and
subsequently was conveyed to Dublin, . ond
loJged in Kilmainham jail.
After O'Brien's arrest, he - is said to have
expressed himself satisfied of the hopeless
ness of accomplishing his object, and that he
was induced to leave his retreat in the moun
tains, becnuae the further he went the more
the people seemed to fear to harbor hiin, or
to hold any communication with him. He is
said to be cheerful, and his wife is allowed
free access to him ; other friends are permit
ted to converse with him in tho presence of
tho jail authorties.
Richard O'Gorman, for whose arrest thrpo
hundred pounds are offered, on attempting
to escape from the country, was arrested by
the Coast Guard, after he had crossed the
Shannon in an open boat. The notice was
forthwith sent to tho police, but before they
arrived, O'Gorman had persuaded his captors
that he was a mere traveller from Derry to
Clare, and left in a boat. He subsequently
boarded a vessel bound down the Shannon,
for America, in which he escaped. A war
steamer had been despatched after the ves
ael. ...
We have received, by the arrival of the
Britannia, English papers down to the 12th
instant
A g'tard, working upon the Limerick Rail
way, has received the reward of 500 for
discovering and arresting Mr. Smith O'Brien.
The Emperor of Austria intended to abdi
cate. , Charles Albert, whos? services in Lombar
dy inspire J so much hope for the Italians:
has been beaten so badly by tho Auotriuns
under Radetsky, that ho will bo compelled to
leave the country.
The Austrian have recovered nearly all
the places that thoy have lost.
. Charles Albert is reported to have promised
the Lombards to resume the war with the
renewed forces.
Three American sympathisers with Ireland
Dr. McCarron, Mr. Duffy, and another named
Bergin, have been arrested and lodged in
Newgate.
' There are the usual conflicting accounts
about the potato crop in Ireland. But most
certainty the blight is making progress in
various dis'ricK : The far greater portion of
the crop, however, is still quito safe.
The insurrection appears to be quelled al
most entirely. Offers of surrender have been
made on the part of the leaders since O'
Brien's arrest, but the Government has refu
sed to listen to any terms whatever.
An attempt, unsuccessful, has been made
in Paris to assassinate M. Thiers by uu nir
gun.
The accounts from St. Petersburg down to
the 26th of July, state that 183 persons only
had been taken ill of the
L-hoIera ; 258 had
recovered, and 84 died. -Constantinople
journals to tho 24th tilt.,
states that the cholera was subsiding rapidly
at Constantinople.
The fate of Wallachia is decided. The
Ottoman Porte has recognized tho new con
stitution, and the Ambassadors of France
and England have given in their adhesion.
The I'orte has protested against tho entrance
of Russia troops. The Russians have already
retired from Jassy, and will bo replaced by
Turkish troops. The cholera is declining in
that city.
." Another insurrection in Posen, among the
Poles is feared. Tho insurrectionists have
succeeded iu seducing from their allegiance
of the soldiers of the 18th regiment of infan
try, of PolUh extraction.
... Advices from DatiUio report revolutionary
tumults in that city. All the better class of
the inhabitant, resident foreigners as well,
were called out in consequence, and doing
duty under arms.

" The continental inteUigsnee is again ex

in doubt whether Denmark will recognize the
German union. Should she recognize the
union, negotiations will be immediately com
menced for the settlement of the dispute. If,
on the contrary, Denmark refuses her recog
nition, war will be at once resumed with the
military forces of the whole of Germany. . In
a few words, all the Germans would riso as
one man in defence of their nationality, and
a desperate war be the result.

QT" A correspondent of the Miltonian
speaking ofthe nomination!), intimates that
in consequence of Charles Weaver's nomina
tion for Commissioner our "chance for the
county printing is not as good as it might
have been." As a report had been put in
to circulation that we desired Mr. Bucher's
election to secure that printing, we deem
it our duty to state that we had no personal
interest in the election of either Mr. Bitcher
or Mr. Weaver. The county printing has
been for many years given by contract to the
lowest bidder, excepting last year, when
for reasons that we shall not explain at pre
sent, it was given out privately, three
months before the usual time. Now all
that we have asked, is to give it out as usu
al, to the lowest bidder, and if we do not
agree to perforin the work on cheaper and
belter terms than any one else, we do not
aik for it.
Mr. Follinerand Mr. Hofia, both decla
red early last winter, that hereafter the
county printing should be given to the
lowest bidder. It was therefore a matter
of indifference, so far as we were concern
ed, who should be elected Commissioner
as neither of the candidates could alter the
decision of the board, nor was either of
them, we believe, inclined to do so. We
have referred to this matter not for the
purpose of complaint or even as an act of
justice to ourselves, but to do justice to Mr.
Hucher, for whose injury it was made to
operate. In a pecuniary point of view,
we have always regarded it ai a small mat
ter, a? an evidence of which, we only need
say, that we have published the American,
now eight years, and until last January,
we never deemed it of sufficient importance
to offer a proposal to do the w ork, in that
paper, though often requested. All we
ask is fair play, and an equal chance. Will
the Miltonian correct the false impression
made by its correspondent.

vention of Lycoming county, on the 2'2d

ernor. Gen. Wm. Petriken for Congress.

SUNBURY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN
OEM. CAMERON, CHAS. BROWN AND V. E.
PIOLLETT.
. The Evening Bulletin comes down with
tremendous force on the Hon. Chas. Brown,
member of Congress from the Third District
in Philadelphia. Gen. Cameron had op
posed the nomination of V. E. Piollett, son
in-law of Jesse Miller, as paymaster in the
Army, and he was rejected by the Senate.
Through the influence of Mr. Buchanan,
who, the Bulletin says, promised the wife
ol Piollet to stand by him, he was again
nominated by the President. Near the
close of the session, Mr. Brown ond others,
of Piollett's friends, taking advantage of
Gen. Cameron's temporary absence, on ac
count of his health, procured his nomination
to be called up and confirmed, by represen
ting that Gen. Cameron, would not return.
This conduct Gen. Cameron afterwards
publicly resented in such a manner that
Brown came out in a letter in his own de
fence. To this letter the Bulletin replies
with great severity, giving a brief statement
of the transaction. The following is an
extract :
"The truth is, Brown was insulted, and
grossly insulted, in the presence of two lead
intr democratic members of the House of Re
presentatives from Pennsvlvanin ; and the
truth is, that he tamely and meanly submit
ted to it feelinjr, ns he did, that he deserved
the reproach and resentment of the hitih
. ... ii'ii
lonen man to wnom ne onereu nis nanci,
which wns indignantly refused with well ap
plied and well merited expressions of con
tempt and opprobrium. To.bc sure there
could be no credit in insulting Brown, for
ever since he entered public life ho has been
kicked and cuffed for his impertinence and
dirty tricks, till no one would hope to excite
a spark of resentment in hisspiritless carcass.
The sent he now holds was obtained
by corruption, mid the miserable caitiff who
betrayed his constituency to place him in
Concress, is nt this time a convict, disappoint
ed in his hopes of a pardon by the faithless
ness of tlv man whom he served."
THE WHIG COVNTV roXVENTION.
The Wilis Convention to nominate candi
dadles for tho approaching election, assem
bled at this place on Monday last. The con
vention was organized by the appointment of
Major Wm. O. Scott of Rush, as President,
and the usual number of Vice Presidents und
Secretaries, and adjourned until the afternoon.
The great bone of contention was the Sena
torship. Capt. Samuel Hunter, Col. J. H.
Purdy and Charles Pleasants, Esq., were the
candidates from this side the river, and Ro
bert M. Frick from the other side. The de
legates in the Forks came generally instruc
ted for Mr. Frick, and the delegates from
Shamokin through some strange kind of hocus
pocus wero also instructed for him. This,
with the absence of tho eight delegates from
Upper, Little and Lower Mahonoy and Coal
township, secured the nomination of Mr.
Frick, on tho second ballot. This tiulookcd
for, and unexpected result was received with
evident signs of chagrin and mortification,
and a great portion of the spectators, though
thorough whigs, came out of the Court llintce
vowing their determination to support no
such, nomination. Mr. Frick was nominated
by a vote of 13. Had the convention been
full, the vote would have been 13 to 21 n
gainst him on the second ballot, and must
probably 12 to 24 on the third ballot. We
never saw Mr. Bright look more chr-irfnl
than he did on hearing that Mr. Frick, would
be nominated. He was just about to start
for Harrisbnrg, and his eyes danced in their
sockets us if they were ready to leap over
the delicate nasal ornament, which nature
has si lavishly bestowed on him. If ho don't
lay out Mr. Robert M. Frick, to the tune of
1000 to 1200 majority in this county, we nut
much mistaken in the signs of the times.
The following are the balloting for Gov
ernor and other olfieei.-i :

Thm Cholera Comimo. The cholera is
rapidly spreading, and is stretching this way
with fearful strides. The dysentery and di
arrhoea, which preceded it before, are already
prevalent here. Does this mean nothing 1
Beware ! In Russia it ia sacrificing its hun
dreds per day. It is now in Turkey in Eu
rope, aud rapidly coining this way.
O" Gen. Taylor. Some of the papers
having published articles reflecting upon
the personal character of Gen. Taylor, he
thus vindicates himself in a letter to a
friend, under date of August 5, 1848 from
whicn we make the following extract t
As to the romantic story about the wound
ed soldier at Buona Vista, (in connexion with
a Mexican lady) which ended so tragically)
and who is said to have been shot by my or
der, it is without the slightest foundation,
nothing of the kind, or even approaching it
ever took place ; nor do I believe wns ever
heard of except at Memphis and vicinity, be
fore it was published in tho Appeal- It is
on a par with tho story that I had Fpoken
disrespectfully of, and' otlterwiso ontmcert,
tho volunteer; and a tnnre base mid heart
less calumny was never propagated. Not a
drop of American blood was shed by my or
der while in Mexico, nor that of a Mexican,
except in the heat of battle.
The whole matter contained in said slip is
too silly to be credited, nor would I have no
ticed pt had I not deemed it proper to reply
to your friendly communication.
1 must, from my position, expect to be ns
suiled by many unscrupulous editoisof news
papers, as well ashired demagogues, without
regard to truth, decency, or any thing else.
I have, therefore, mndo up my mind not to
suffer such things to annoy me, let them
emanate from what quarter they may ; but
to "pursne the even tenor of my way," with
out turning to the right or to the left to no
tice them.
With considerations of hiah respect and
esteem, your friend and obedient servant.
Z. Taylor.
Important Movement in Politics. Al
bany, August 26, 1848. The telegraphic re
port of Taylor's letter, accepting the Charles
ton nomination, has caused a fever in the
whig ranks. Mr. Dawson of the Journal, is
circulating handbills, calling a Whig rally at
the capital, this eveuining. to take the letter
into consideration. This movement, it is
said, has tin sanction of Mr. Fillmore. 7i7r
graphit Correspondence of N. Y. Herald.
The following is the letter referred to, in
which Gen. Taylor accepts the nomination
of the Democratic citizens of Charleston, with
out, however, giving any pledges. If we
mistake not, tho same meeting nominated
Gen. Butler for the Vice Presidency:
Baton Rouce, La, Aug. 9, 1S4S.
Sir I have the honor to acknowledge the
recipt of your communication of the 2tiih ul
timo, officially announcing to me my nomi
nation for the Presidency by n large meeting
of the Democratic citizens of Charleston,
South Carolina, held at that city on the 2ti;h
tilt., and over which you were tho presiding
officer.
This deliberate expression of the friuudly
feeling existing towards me among a large
nn.l respectable portion of tho citizens of
your distinguished State, has been received
by me with emotions of profound gratitude;
ami though it be but a poor return for such a
high and unmerited honor, I beg them to
accept my heartfelt thanks.
Concluding that this nomination, like nil
others which I have hnd tho honor of receiv
ing from iiFsrmbkiges of my fellow citizens
in various parts of the Union, has been gen
erously offered to me, without pledges or
conditions, it is thankfully accepted ; mid I
i beg you to assure my fiiends, iu whoso bc
i half yon are acting, that should it be my lot
to fill the oflice for which I have born thus
nominated, it shall be my unceasing clToit,
in tho discharge of its responsible duties,
to give satisfaction to my country-men.
With the assurances of my high esteem,
I have the honor to be, yourobedient servant,

We aro inclined to think thai, on the whole
tho movements of tho Barnburners will help
Mr. Cass, particularly their embrace of Abo
litionism, ultra Whiggery, and tho odds and
ends of factions generally, at the lute Buffa
lo Convention. Thoy have thus become as
sociated inthe public mind wilh what is in
herently unpopular and odious. It requires
no great sagacity to foresee the result. We
state it now as our deliberate opinion, and
wish it to be remembered, that notwithstand
ing the reinforcement which they have re
ceived from extraneous sources, they will not
be able to give Mr. Van Bureu a single Elec
toral vote. No doubt they will poll a respec
table number of votes iu the states, but it will
not be a plurality of the whole and therefore
will avail nothing.

"Mr. Calhoun denied, ami with iiinch ori
ginality of argument, the generally received
truth, "all mtiii are born free aud equal.' "
'Men were not born," he said, Mnfunis

He denied, too, with equal force that men

"Men are not created : lltre were but two

A circumstance happened this week to
Mrs. Moruey. tlm wife of a farnvr residing
in tho township of Ilibbert, which created
much nlurni iu the neighborhood. The wo
man is about 3 years old, and the mother of
thirteen children, tho youngest of w hom, a
child about eight mouths old, shu left in tho
cradle on Monday last, about 10 o'clock in
the morning, whihi she went into the bush in
search of a stray ovorcow. It was in the af
ternoon before she found the objects of her
search, when she milkud the cow for her
own sustenance, soon uflcr, tho catllo separ
ating, the poor woman, being under the im
pression that the ox would be most likely to
lead her out of the bush, followed it day und
niptht until Weduesduy morning, when it
made the road at Fluuiguu's tuvcrn, 20 miles
from London. Having been in the woods
the whole) two days and nighty she was so
completely exhausted by fatigue and want
of nourishment, that Mr. Flnnigan found it
necessary to keep her at his house for a cou
ple of days before she was in a condition to
be removed, when he kindly forwarded her
to White's tavern, on her way home.
Her neighbors, alarmed at her long absence
sturted on Monday afternoon in search of her,
and at 5 o'clock iu the evening came up to
the cow, which appeared to have been re
cently milked. Had Mrs. Morney therefore
followed it instead of the ox, she might have
reached her home tho same night. Their
apprehensions were not a little increased by
this circumstance, aud fearing that the wo
man would perish, resolved, in the praise
worthy manner, to turn out the whole neigh
borhood, and not abandon their object until
they had found her dead or alive. Some of
them remained in the bush all night, while
the rest returned tiome with the cow, and
having provided themselves with a week's
provisions, again started, nearly a hundred
strong, at day break the next morning, in

THE WHIG
ANTI-TAYI.OR
ALBANY.
MEETING AT
The Albany papers of Monday contain the
proceedings of the spontaneous meeting held
at Albany by the Whigs on receiving infor
mation that General Taylor had accepted the
nomination for the Presidency of the Demo
crats of Charleston on a ticket with Gen.
Butler for the Vice Presidency. The news
created a great commotion. The hall of the
Capitol was crowded in tho evening.. Judge
Parmclee was called to the chair, ond he
read Gen. Taylor's letter. The reading of
Gen. Taylor's loiter brought out hisses from
the assembled Whigs. Judge P. added that
tha meeting was now iu possession of nil tho
information on this subject, mid it was foi
them to say what action ought to bo taken
in view of this extraordinary emergency.
"Haswell," .'Dawson," "Collier,' "Wheaton,"
und others wero now called for with great
vehemence, when Alderman Haswell said
We found the Whig candidate for tho
Presidency repudiating, in effect, the Whig
candidate for the Vice Presidency ! We
found Gen. Taylor, after accepting a nomina
tion which embraced our own Fillmore us
well as himself, now formally accepting, and
with profound pleasuje, the nomination of a
Democratic convention for tho Presidency,
and that convention dropping his co-nominee
for tho Presidency, nnd substituting Gen.
Butler, tho Democratic candidate! That
was a thing he could not stand. Loud
cheering. He could, under some circum
stances, stand quietly and allow himself to
be greased nil over, but ho could not and
would not slaml and have it rubbed in. (Re
newed cheering mid laughter. lb? did not
nesiiint; to avow, mat iiiuicr llr.-so circum
stances, he felt under no obligations, as a
Whig, to sustain Gen. Taylor and that he
would not vote for him. Loud and general
cries of "nor I," "nor 1." Peihtips it was
too late to act in reference to this unexpected
emergency. Cries, "It's not too late to start
Clay " There wi re only eight short weeks
before the election and if any thing was to
be done, it must be done quickly. For one,
h' should rejoice to sec a full blooded, out
and out straight forward Whig brought on to
the course such a man as Hurry of the West
loud itn.l prolnused cheering. iu whom tho
Whites hud confidence, and whom they could i
support with urdnr, nnd ho believed with
if r nTi . .i . ti. f ,
success. C lies of "Dints the UilK ' and!
cheers.
Mr. Benedict, one of the socreluries, here
came forward. It was well known that le;
had been from the first anient Taylor man,
iiiid an advocate for his nomination by the
Whin Convention. It was as well known
that he hud adhered to him without waver
ing, and with a strong desire to see him elec
ted to the Presidency. But ho confessed,
that tin) letter of Ren. Taylor to the Charles.
ton meeting which hud been trail Ir-re In
the chairman, together with the proceedings
i of the Charleston meeting hud sti.-ijirei'-il him
and that he was free to sav that it li.nl :;in e
far to lead him to the eonehwioii that lie h ul
General Taylor to be ti'v.-hivr. II ! . '

W!i;n
support the Whig ticket an I the wliuli
ticket. The letter to the Clnrlcs'.on meeting
a ineetinir of IVmocruls impliedly tit least
wmkins nt a support of half Ihe Whig ticket
and the repudiation of tho oilier half he re
peated, hail left him no clinician to his fu
ture course. If that letter was genuine and
he was reluctantly com)) -lied to believe it

be some mistake about it. It might be a de-
e . . , , -i
vice of the enemy, ever v.-ilant wily, actixe
und unscrupulous us to the means by which
thev ncceniplised their desii't-s. Whatever
was done, in reference to this matter, he
,,
"oil should be ibniowith deliberation. If th'
Whigs desire to givn clfect to what tlvy did
they should net, ji"t with haste not under
the impulse of u sudden excitement but
with deliberation and reflection. Hasty ac
tion, even though right in itself, would not
carry with it hull" its legitimate force und
weight. IU hopil, that wo should not be
forced to net definitively to-night--but that
we should take time for reflectioH and con
sultation. He renewed the motion, therefore
that the committee to be uppniited report to
un adjourned meeting to be h.-ld on Monday
evening next.
Cries of "to-night, "to-night," were re.
ncyed from all parts of the Hull.
The. question wns put on Mr. Benedict's
motion, and declared carried.
(Iheat IiAH.koaI) Sri'.KD. On Tuesday last
the railroad train, with a new engine with
SJ feet drivmg wheels and live largo passen
ger cars attached, containing upwards of 250
passengers, ran from Springfield to Hartfurd
a distance of 20 miles in 33 minutes,
running time, or at tho rate of SO miles an
hour und from Springfield to New Haven,
a ilistauci) of 62 miles in 1 hour nnd 30 min
utes. This is tho quickest trip ever made in
this country with a heavy train over any rail
road, and tho road is now regularly run with
greater speed than any other railroad in the
United Slates, and w ith double tha average
velocity of rnilroods ojil of New England.
This is owing lo the road being remarkably
straight, level, and thoroughly constructed.
With engines having driving wheels seven
and eight feet in diameter, which have been
bronght into use on the best roads iu England
there is little doubt that the Hartford ami
New Haven Railroad cuuld be run with' per.
feet ease and safety ut tho rule of SO to 60
an lour. But thn engine makers of this coun
try hitherto have enjoyed to such a degree a
mui-opuly in their butiueo, and realized such
lara profits (40 lo 50 per cent ) upon it that
they have contented to furnish the old-fashioned
small wheel engines, and not shown
the usual enterprise of our American artians
in keeping pace with and generally outstrip
ping the improvements and inventions of
their British rivals. Hartford Timet.
