The ateamer Niagara was seen from on board the Hibernia, one dny out from Liver poo), and she probably arrived in port at an Varly hour on the 30th. The ahip Emigrant, from the United States for Bremen, with a cargo of tobacco, has been made a prize and sent into the port of Copenhagen, The fate of the navigation laws is scaled. A majority of CI has been obtained upon the third reading of the bill in the House of Com mons. It is not likely to be rejected by the Lords. Father Matthew will positively sail for .New York, in the Ashburton, on the S3d May. IRELAND. ., Distress and Distaft. The fearful state of affairs in Mayo is most painfully exhibited in the following state ment, which appears in the Mayo Constitu tion : "During the quarter sessions of West port we witnessed scenes which we believed no state of misery or euffrring could have brought about. It was that of hearing seven teen unfortunate creatures convicted of va rious crimes, imploring of the court to trans port them from their native country, as their only refuge from the horrors of death from hunger." Th Cholera. Superadded to the nffiic lions that have fallen upon the devoted pro vinces of Connnught, the present epidemic seems to have set in there wilh far more fa tal effect than in any other portion of the kingdom subjected to the visitation. The Accounts from Bullinrobe, in 'the county of Mayo, continue to be of a most distressing nature, the disease sweeping the people off by scores each day, while the cases of re covery are so few as to be scarcely worth mentioning. The pestilence has also broken ut with great virulence in the workhouses of Ballinasloe. FRANCE. It is said that M. Napoleon Bonaparte has been recalled, or rather dismissed from Mad rid. Certain it is, that he was known to be on his way to Paris. M. Napoleon is repor ted to have protested sigainst the suicidal intentions of France in the affairs of Rome. The Journal des Debats announces that the French Minister at Turin has been instructed by his government to reject the terms of peace attempted to be enforced by Marshal Radetsky. It odds that orders have been forwarded to the Sardinian Admiral Albin to remain in the Adriatic until tho existing dif ficulties have been removed. In the Assr-m-bly, on tho 23d, the bill for indemnifying the proprietors of slaves in the French Colonies passed its second reading- The bill allows six millions of francs in the 5 per ct. rentes And six millions of francs in money one eighth part of the six millions of rentes which goes to the Colonies of Guadaloupe, Martini que and tho Island of Bourbon, is to go to the establishment of a Hank in turn of these colonies. The silting of tho 21th was entire ly occupied in considering tho bill introduced by Gen. Lammorricier for the organization of tho army. He pioposcs to abolish drain ing by conscription and to mako every one liable to military service, M. Frapold, the envoy extra of tha Roman Republic, has pre aented a protest to tho Government against the expedition to Civita Vecchia. He de clares that his Government was willing to ac cept the French Government on the 12th. The only answer he got was that France could not negotiate with what did not ex ist ; that Rome, so far as France was con cerned, was the Pope ; that Fiance interposed an order to prevent too violent a revolution in order that the principal of separation might be applied as largely as possible in the ad ministration of the Slate. The Government has appropriated five hundred thousand francs to guard against the spread of the Choleia. During the last six months the Cholera has attacked fourteen departments and fallen on 4500 persons 2S00of whom have died. In 1832 the cho lera raged in 70 departments, and also lost 18,000 inhabitants. Cholera cases are disap- pearing in the hospitals at Paris The num- ber of new eases reported from tho 20th to the 33d instant, amount to 187. DENMARK AND PRUSSIA. Tho town oi Koling, which lies about a mile and a half from the frontier of Scliles wig And ten from the frontier of Fredsupa, was taken by the Schlcswig troops under Gen. Borin, on the 20ih inst., fighting con tinnally for many hours in the streets before thsj town was evacuated by the Danes. The lots in killed and wounded is not given Hamburg papers of the 24th contain no fur ther intelligence from Kalding, except that the eity hat Buffered much from tire. The German troop are in quiet possession. It is Ascertained that step have been taken to in duoe Leopold, king of the Belgians, to act the part of mediator. Whether he will or not Accept this office is riot yet known, the last accounts were that the Dunes were assem bling in Urge numbers on the heights beyond Kalding. PRUSSIA. It was rumored at Berlin, on the 17ih, that tho king of Prussia hod determined to accept ths imperial crown, on condition that the ac ceptance of the constitution should be sus pended until after its revision at tht sitting of the Chambers on the 22J. A resolution accepting tho constitution as it stands was strongly opposed by Count Brandiuburg in the name of tht government, alleging that the alteration made on the 2d reading at FrAokfort rendered it impossible for Prussia to Accept it unconditionally : tha resolution was, however, carried by majority of 179 to 190. r . ... .

The latest newt from Leghorn announces the embarkation of the republican chief and the approach of the Tuscan reactionary troops to that city. The authority of the Grand Duke appears to have been established eve rywhere in Tuscany, except from Leghorn. There the people have shut the gates, barri caded the streets, and expressed a full de termination to defend the town to the last extremity. . Avezzana has arrived at Rome, for which city the legion of Garibaldi is in full march to protrct it against the French entering Rome. The provisional government will retire to Ancona. . SARDINIA. There is an interruption of the negotiations between Sardinia and Austria as cariied on at Milan between the envoys sent to nego tiate a treaty. The condition required hith erto by Austria were such that Piedmont could not listen to. They were 1st. The joint occupation of Alessandria after she should have reduced her army. 2d. The payment of 226 millions, equal to 5,000, 000. 3d. That King Victor Emanuel should, of his own authority, modify the statutes in respect to the law of election, and put down the liberty of the press in a word violate tho Constitution which he bad sworn to a few days ago. These conditions, especially the last, rendered it impossible to make any advance on the pending negotiation; but suddenly Austria has altered her tone, and her plenipotentiary has directed the plenipo tentiary to adjourn negotiation for a fortnight and then convene a Congress nt Verona, to which France and England will be invited to send agents. It is suspected that tho cause of this desire is th.it Austria wishes to gain time to send 30,000 of her Italian army to assist her forces in Hungary. The Piedmon teso Ministry have already directed that the provisions and armament of Alessandria should bo continued with the utmost ac tivity, and that a camp of 40,000 men should be formed under the protection of the cannon of the fortress, and of the line extending between it and Geneva. They have now given fresh directions to the War Department to prepare for the immediate re sumption of hostilities, as for an event likely to crush the Sardinian fleet in the Venetian waters. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY MORE TRI UMPHS OF THE HUNGARIANS. Tho accounts from Hungary are still so contradictory and confused that it is impossi bio to judge of the probable result of the Magyar attempt to relieve Comorn. It is tolerably obvious, however, from the present state of affairs in Hungary, that Wiwlisrh- gratz has been attempting more than hi armv was competent to undertake. He has been at once beseiging Comorn and Szcgedin, blockading Peterwaradin, detaching tioops into the extremities of Upper Hungary, and trying to make head against the Magyars in front of Peslh It is stated that on the 3d instant the Aus trian army placed itself in a line of attack, extending from Gydollo to Hatvan and Cze gled. Their left wing, nt Hatvan, was com1 manded by General Schlick, and their right, nt Czeglcd, was under Jellachich, and the centre was commanded by field-marshal the Prince Windischrntz in person. The Hunga rian army opposed them in n line, which ex tended even beyond the wings of their cne my. They hud Dcmbinski in the centre Georgey on the left, and Vetter on the right wing, the imperialists mustered 50,000 men, and the Magyars 90,000. From the 2d to the 6;h, a sanguinary battle took place, in the course of which the imperial army re' treated to the very walls of IVsth. The Hungarian General Dembinski's report to M. Kossuth, dated from his head-quarters to Gydollo, of the 7th April, after alluding to a certain battle at Erlau, describes the re treat of the Austrian army from Gyongyos to Peslh, and states that the imperial rearguard attempted at Gyongyos to protect the flight of the Austrian army, but that the first at tack of the Magyar troops threw it upon the bulk of that army, and that 16 pieces of ar. tillery, 2 standards, 21 wagons of ammuni lion, and 1200 prisoners were taken by the Hungarians. Another battle took place at Gydollo on the 6th inst., in which 8 Austrian battalions, for the most part Croats, were routed and 26 cannons, 7 standards, 38 wa gons of ammunition, and 3200 hundred priso ners were captured. General Dembinski states the loss of the Anstrians in killed and wounded, at 6000, and that of his own party at 2000 The statement that the Hungarians had taken Waitzen has been confirmed, as has also the report that the Austrians had re-taken the place. By an imperial order a reserve corps of be tween 22,000 and 25,000 is to be formed and posted in the MarchnVld, near Vienna, and second, of about 15,000 men, in the neigh- borhood of Peltuu, in Lower Styria. They are both to be completed by the 10th of next month. It is also reported that a third re -o vui(j ui au,uuu men is to be formed in Bohemia, near Budweis. The Voss Gazette states that 40,000 Ru sians have entered Moldavia by the Bucko wine. They bring the answer of the cabi net of St. Plersbnrg to that of Olmutz to the question on what condition Russia would place her diplomatic and material resources at the disposition of the Austrian Govern ment. It is said that the abandonment of Austria of all influence in the Duriaubian principalities U the price demanded by Rus sia for her service. According to accounts from Vienna, of the 20;n inst., the new commander of the Aus Irian army in Hungary, Baron Welden, ar rived At Peslh on the 16th inst, It is stated that General Welden will offer a free pardon to all the Hungarian officers ho shall leave M. Kossuth's standard, and that a pecuniary reward will given to all th deserters from the Hungarian camp. It is rumored in Paris that a murderous en gagemenl had taken place under the walls of Comorn, in which Glorgey had defeated the Austriant and raited the tiege : that the Aus trian had evtcuated Peslh, and that the -' ,; i Hungarians were under tho walls of Vienna. It was reported at Vienna, on the 18th, that an insnrrection had broken out At Cracow. It appears that the insurgent General Bern, before leaving Cronstadt and Hermanstadt, pallisaded those two placet in A manner that would enable tho Szeklert (the artisans of the Magyars) to hold out for a long time against the Russians in case the latter should return to Transylvania It is admitted, even by some of the Vienna journals, that the above General maintains strict discipline amongst his troops. Up to the 19th inst., slight skirmishes still continued in the vicinity of Peslh, between the Imperialists and the Magyars the latter retiring each time to the adjacent heights. On the 18th, Baron Welden, the new commander-in-chief of the Imperial forces, was at Gran, and early the next morning the or der was given to march towards Waitzen. The insurgents were to be attacked on all points in the course of the 19th, so that im portant Intelligence may be soon looked for. In fact, it is already asserted by the Vienna correspondent of the ConstitutionelleZeilung, (writing under date April 20, o P. M ) that the Hungarians were totally defeated near Grnn, their loss in prisoners alone being 2000. THE AMSFJCAIT. SUNBURY. AATCRDAY, MAY 19. l4t. H. B. MASSER, Editor and Praprletar. NOTICE.

Great annimosity has for a long time been existing between the friends of the two ac tors, Macready and Forrest. Macready hav ing been engaged to play at th Astor Place Opera House, appeared on Wednesday even ing, and an attempt was made by th friends of Forrest to drive him ofTthe stage. Rot ten egg were thrown at him, chairs were hurled from the gallery, and the whole thea tre was in such an uproar that not on word of the parts could be heard. It was announ ced that he would play at the same place on Thursday evening, the 10th inst., in the char acter of Macbeth. At an early hour the house was crowded from gallery to pit, and the appearance of Mr. Macready, greeted with cheers by one part of the audience, and groans and hisses by the other. It was soon apparent that Macready's friends were in the majority, and the arrest of those creating the disturbance was called for, and promptly made by the police. Those arrested were confined in one of the rooms of the theatre, where they made an attempt to fire the build' ing. This being discovered, they were placed in irons. At this time the press of the crowd on the outside to gain admittance was so great that all the doors were obliged to be closed. The Mayor of the city having been informed early in the evening, that there was a proba bly of a disturbance, took measures to pre vent its occurience. A large body of police was called out, and orders issuod to Major Gen. Sandford, to hold a number of troops in readiness sufficient to quell the outbreak. SCENC ON THE Ol'TSIDE. Before 8 o'clock an immense mob had collected in front of the Opera House, to the number of from 15 to 20 thousand persons. They were greatly excited and, having torn up the pavement, commenced an attack upon the building with stones and other missiles. Though the windows were strongly barrica ded, they soon yielded to the furious as sault and were demolished. The audience were now exposed to the stones hurled through the breaches and a number were se verely injured. At the same time an attack was made by the mob upon the doors, which was with great exertion repelled by the strong police force. The house was now surround ed by the enfuriated multitude and cries were made to burn the building. It wasevi dent the police were not strong enough and must soon give way. At this moment a com pany of dragoons were heard coming rapidly up Broadway. As toon as they came up to the mob, they were ansa i led by a volley of stones, several were severely wounded, and, the horses becoming unmanageable, they fell back in disorder iion the seventh regi ment of Infantry which now advanced and took a position in front of the Opera House. The tumult had reached its height. Inces sant volleys of bricks and paving stones were hurled upon the military. Gens. Sandford and Hull were repeatedly struck, anil at one volley ihe whole of the front rank were struck down, orders were given to charge, but the rioters seized the musketsand wrench ed them from the soldiers. The sheriff and Mayor were upon the ground. The riot act was rend and tho mob ordered to disperse; their answer was ano'.her shower of stones. The oflieers frequently asked for orders to fire, stating that their men were being killed and that unless orders were given they would retire. The Mayor refused to give them, and retired to the New York Hotel. Unable to bear the fury of the mob, the sheriff gave the order to fire. Gen. Hall, at the same time saying to his men "fire over their heads." The rioters seeing no one in jured by the discharge, cried, "ihey have only blank catridges; give it to them again," and a fresh shower of missiles was poured upon the military. Again the order to fire was given, with Ihe direction ,:fire low." This was obeyed, and the soldiers then charged upon the mob who gave way, but rallied again at the corner of Lafayette Place. Here they received another volley from the military and were dispersed. Twenty of the mob were killed and upwards of twenty wounded j some dangerously. An old man wus shot as be was getting out of the cars. One woman wus struck in the side by a mus ket ball. Two cannons were then brought up by a detachment of the Opera House. Mr. Macready made his escape in disguise, and went to Boston. FRIDAY. On Friday a large meeting was held in the Park, by those opposed to peace and in favor of the rioters. The notorious Capt. Rynders, made a violent speech, denouncing Macready and the city authorities. He wus followed by Mike Walsh, who exhausted the vocabu lary his denunciation of what he called the murder of his "innocent fellow citizens." NIGHT SCENE. The mob again assemble in the evening, in front of the Opera House. The military appeared in force, cleared the space and formed in battle array. The mob made a series of attacks upon them with stones and slung shot. A number of the officers and men were severely wounded. The police made numerous arrests and succeeded iu dri ving the mob from the ground. The troops behaved with great gallantry. They did not fire although for a long time exposed to th furious onset of the mob. All is now quiet. The mob has dispersed The military are in possession of the street. All are dismissed except four companies. The Cholera at Cincinnati. Quite a panic prevails iu that city, in consequence of an increase in the number of cholera eases, although the epidemic yields to medical treat ment, when aid it obtained in time.

The boatmen have resisted the authorities and rescued a boat from the Sheriff and his constables, but no violence has yet been committed. Some five hundred of them paraded the streets, of E.islou on Friday, wilh banners and music, having left a similar number to guard the boats. A requisition had been made upon the Governor for a military force, to enable the Sheriff to arrest some of the ringleaders, and fears are entertained of serious conse quences, in case the military should be brought in collision with the boatmen, wilh whom, it is said, a large number of the peo ple spmpalhise. Arkansas Items. The Arkansas Democrat of the 27th ult. states that Lieut.

They suc ceeded in bursting the doors open, but were leceived with a discharge of decanters and tumblera from th handt of those inside and repulsed. They charged again, and met with a shower of the tame sort, accompanied with teveral pistol shots. A third attack was made, when a detachment of dragoons appeared and the mob dispersed. One man was dangerously wounded. The pistols are said to have been fired by Cabinet Ministers. In some places the people are arming and drilling. The league daily receives an ac cession of members. Election or Jidces. The American Law Journal for May, 1849, contains an able arti cle from an eminent member of the bar of Pennsjlvania, in favor of Ihe proposed amendment of the Constitution providing for the election of Judges. The editors of the Law Journal introduce the article by remark ing that "when the Judges derive their au thority immediately from the people, and can take an appeal to the same paramount power, the fear of removal by address, for resisting Legislative usurpations, will no lon ger exist, and we shall probably hear less of the validity of retrospective acts destroying vested rights of Legislative reversals of judgments without notice to the parties and of other usurpations of judicial power, under the new definition of 1W, that it is a rule postscribed instead of tieing prescribed. It is a prevalent opinion that Ihe present judicial tenure has failed to secure either the inde pendence of the judiciary or the rights of the people." Letter from Gov. Bor.cs L. W. Boggs, at one lime Governor of Missouri, has been, for three or four years past, a resilient of Cal ifornia. He is alcalde of Sonora, and has been engaged in extensive business as a mer chant. The Independence (Mo.) Kxpositof, publishes the substance of a letter which has been recently received from him, by his son, air. II. C uoggs. II is not ol late dale, having been written on the SOlh of Novem ber last, but its contents may serve lo cheer the hearts of the zoUl hunters now about set ting out on a long journey. He confirms most of ihe information received, as to the richness and extent of the mines; says they extend over a country eight hundred miles in extent, and yielding immense quantities of Ihe dust. He obtained, in a few months. upwards of $20,000 worth. Everybody gets gold lhat wants it ; and he says there are no poor men in California. He tninks about seven thousand persons are engaged in di ging gold ; between six hundred and a thou sand of these are from Oregon. Gov. Hoggs advises his sons in St. Louis to go to Califor uia this spring, without fail, and tells them lo advise their relatives mid lneiuls to go also He tells them that any business they may be engaged in at home is tinimporfanf, compared with what they can do iu Call fornia. Cholera in the West. From the Cincin nati papers we learn that during the week ending May 9lh, ihe number of cases of Cho lera reported was 114, and deaths 32. Since that time the telegraph reports show a rapid increase in the number of cases. At Louis ville a gnod many cases have occurred, as well as at Maysville ; but in neither city does Ihe disease prevail as an epilernic At St. Louis the increase of morality from Cholera has been very great. We cannot learn that the disease exists iu Pittsburg, orat any point as far east as that. Let us hope the Alle ghany mountains may prove an effectual barrier to its progress eastward. THE MINESOTA TERRITORY. The Act organizing this new Territory, bounds it on the North by the British Pos sessions, East by the State of Wiscon sin and the Mississippi River, South by Iowa, and West by the Missouri Rivers. Pro vision is made for the division of the Territo ry, if Congress see fit. The government is to be organized in the usual manner, consisting of a governor, secretary, and legislative as sembly. The two former hold office for four years. The last consists of a council elected every two years, and an assembly chosen an nually, on the principle of universal suffrage. All laws enacted by this body are to be sub mitted to the U. S. Congress, and if disap proved, are annulled The Act contains the usual provisions for a territorial judiciary es tablishment. The governors' salary is fixed at 81500, but he receives $1000 additional as Superintendent of Indian affairs. The salary of the Secretary and of each of the Judges is $1800. The per diem of members of the Legislature is three dollars, and the sessions are limited to sixty days. The laws in force in Wisconsin at Ihe date of its admission into the Union, remain in operation in the new Territory, until modified by the Legislature thereof: and the laws of the United Slates, as far as applicable, are extended thereto.
