Ireland Intense suffering and misery.
The Irish papers contain most distress
ing accounts of the intense suffering and
misery that prevails in many parts of that
ill-fated country particularly in the South
western districts. .The workhouses are
filled to repletion, and thousands of per
sons appear actually without the raean3 to
keep life and soul together, until the crops
re available, which fortunately will, from
present appearances, be very early. The
distress, in the meantime, will be severe,
almost beyond example.
Departure of the State Prisoners to
Vandiemati's Land.
On Monday Messrs. O'Brien, Meagher,
McManus, and O'Donahue, were embar
ked on board the war schooner Swift,
which immediately sailed for Vandieman's
land. Previous to the departure of the
prisoners, they prepared, and placed in
the hands of a mutual friend, an address
to their countrymen, of which the London
Times says: It must be admitted that its
'tone is unobjectionable nay even more
moderate than could 6e expected from men
the whole tenor of whose previous con
duct favored the supposition that they were
acting, not as free agents, but as the. vic
tims of some unknown species of down
right lunacy.
France Result of the Flections.
The elections to fill 35 vacancies are
going forward quietly, and the results as
far as ascertained are in favor of the mod
erate candidates. In Paris the Ministerial
candidates were all returned. In the
Provinces, Lamartine and a few Socialists
have secured their elections.
Mr. Dalhays has been despatched as
Ambassador to the court of St. James with
much apparent haste, with the object, as
has been conjectured, to neutralise Lord
Palmerston's decided or apprehended in
tervention in favor of the Romans.
In regard to the subject, the London
Sun of Tuesday says: The Marquis of
Normandy has presented a note to the
French Government from Lord Palmer
ston demanding an explicit explanation as
to the intentions of France with regard to
Rome. How long it is intended that the
French army shall occupy the Roman
Territory, and whether it is resolved to
support the Pope.
Recall of Reinforcements.
In consequence of the surrender of
Rome, the orders received at Toulon for
embarking reinforcements of all kinds has
been countermanded, and a steamer alrea
dy at Lea with troops, recalled.
Ledru Rollin in London.
The movements of Ledru Rollin have
at length been traced out. He has, until
recently, been secreted in Paris, and on
Wednesday reached London in thcOstend
steamer from Belgium, in company with
.uartm lJernaru, Ltiene Arago, and Sar
gcant Boichat.
The present accounts of the cholera are
favorable. The deaths have fallen to
fewer than 30 per day, and are daily de
creasing. The total number of deaths in
Paris and suburbs since the breaking out
of the cholera in January last, is said to
6e more than 20,000.
The Council of Revision has confirmed
the sentence of death pronounced by the
Court Martial on Capt. Kleber, who imme
diately appealed to the Court of Cessa
tion. Italy Constitution of the Republic.
The Assembly, in its last sitting, unan
imously voted the Constitution of the Re
public, and ordered it to be deposited in
the Capitol, the expression of the unani
mous wish of the Roman people.
The Constitution is by a vote of the
Assembly, to be engraven on marble, and
placed in the Capitol.
They also ordered funeral service to be
celebrated at St. Stephen's, for those who
had fallen in defence of the Republic.
77ie entrance of the French into Rome.
The entrance of the Frencli troops en
masse into Rome, did not take place till
7 o'clock of the evening of the 3d.
A proclamation of the National Assem
bly anuounced the arrival of the French,
and recommended abstinence from all ven
geance as useless, and unworthy the dig
nity of Roman citizens.
Gen. Oudinot and his staff were so dis
guised as not to be recognized by the Na
tional Guard as he passed the corps d'Gar
lle, they did not rise and give him the sa
lute due his rank.
The barricades had to be pulled down
by the French soldiers themselves in the
absolute dearth of Roman laborers. At
dark the troops were conveyed to their
various quarters.
Escape of Garibaldi with 10,000 Troops.
Garibaldi succeeded in escaping from
Rome with 10,000 men. He was loudly
applauded as he passed through the city.
He had been in the direction of Jerzsima.
It is probable he would fall in with some
detached force of the Neapolitans or Span
iards to whom he might give trouble.'
His intention, it is said, is to invade the
Kingdom of Naples. The first division
of the French expeditionary army set out
in pursuit of him on the 4th.
Venice still Unconquered.
Venice still holds out against the Aus
trians, and continues to make a vigorous
resistance. The city carries on its prin
cipal defence from two small forts at about
one thousand yards from the first houses
of Venice one situated on the small island
of San Lecondo and the other on the
Railroad Bridge. The Austrian shells do
not reach further than four hundred yards.
Within Venice Provisions are very
Aarce. Nothing but black bread half
baked is to be got. Meat and wine have
become luxuries. Still the calm determi

tians. Sardinia Important Movement.
Correspondence from Turin of the 8th,
states that M. Trarde, Secretary of the
Sardinian Legation in London, arrived at
Turin with despatches of great and urgent
importance. It is said ;hat thev contain
the wish of Lord Palmerston that Sardinia
should not at present resume negotiations
of peace with Austria, as England wished
to save Italy from the abyss into which
she appears ready to fall.
Hungary and Austria.
The Hungarians continue to
carry on
the renejradal struggle with
indomitable
energy and courage.
Advices from Vienna of the 7th have
been received. The statements of the
victory won by Ban Jellachich proves to
be altogether unfounded. The Ban is still
in the back countries, and though he has
had an engagement with the Magyars, the
affair seems to have been of little impor
tance. The imperial troops on the right
bank of the Danube, after ieaving Raab,
followed the returning Hungarians, and
appear to have obtained

some

The Hungarians appear to have retired
to an entrenchment, camp, and works at
the head of a bridge, thrown from the
right bank of the Danube to Comorn, from
which point they manoeuvred with 20
squadrons of horse, and kept up afire
with 50 guns for eight hours; but their in
fantry remained in their entrenchments.
One field battery ventured beyond the pro
tection of the guns in the intrenchment,
and a regiment of Austrian light horse at
tacked and captured the battery, after cut
ting down the greater part ot the men at
their guns. Tne battery consisted of six
pounders and two twelves.
Rumored Victories bv the Russians.
The Russian corps having entered Tran
sylvania, has succeeded, after an obstinate
resistance, in taking Tornases Pass, which
was strongly fortified. The Russians
forced their way through with the bayo
net, and entered Cronstadt on the same
day, the 20th of June. Eleven cannon
and standards were the trophies of this
day.
The Cossacks succeeded in canturinff
General Wys, who was wounded, and
had been handed over to the Austrians.
Other accounts from Transylvania state
that the other Russian corps has entered
Bastric, after a sharp action with the Hun
garians. The Austrian garrison, at Raab, had
been compelled to surrender that fortress.
Opening of the Diet.
A letter from Vienna, in the Indepen

IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE.
New York, July 28
The steamer Crescent City arrived at
New York last night with one months'
later news from California.
The steamer Panama, from San Fran
cisco arrived at Panama, on the 11th of
June, witli five hundred thousand dollars
worth of gold dust.
The gold in California is still found in
great quantities; but it is only the persons
accustomed to hard work that can stand
the fatigue of digging it.
The number of persons at the mines' are
estimated at thirty thousand, about one
half of whom are foreigners.
The business at San Francisco was very
dull, all goods and provisions were selling
below their original cost. Lumber was
still in great demand, .and selling for S350,
00 per m.
Our Consul at Panama would not abuse
the responsibility of sending California
mails by the Crescent city.
The British frigate Constance was at
San Bias, bound for Mazatlin with two
millions.
The greatest efforts are making in Cali
fornia to organize a State Government and
demand admittance into the Union. Mass
meetings for the purpose of considering the
propriety of electing delegates. to a Con
vention for the formation of a Government
for California took place on the 12th of
June. The object of the meeting being
briefly stated by the President, Peter H.
Burnett, Esq., addressed the people as
sembled, and concluded his remarks by
presenting lion. Thomas Butler King, of
Georgia, who responded to the call with
his accustomed eloquence. j
The Crescent City has over two hun
dred thousand dollars in specie. J
Nefarious and Infamous Abduction of Juan
Francisco Key, at the Instance of the Spanish
Consnl.
From ihe N O. Delta, July 19.
Many of our good easy citizens, uncon
scious of evil, and unsuspicious of wrong,
read our article of yesterday morning, de
nunciatory of Carlos de Espana and his
agents, who have dared in the very face
of this community, and in defiance of eve
ry law and international obligation, to kid
nap for the shambles of Queen Isabella,
the wretched man Rey many of our
good, easy citizens, we say, read our ar
ticle of yesterday, with a feeling of incre
dulity, as if we were capable of trifling
with a subject so serious one so well cal
culated to excite the indignation of every
,man, who has an American heart in his
bosom. We never make serious charges
without duly weighing the responsibility
we incur. From that responsibility we
we will never shrink in any instance, but
stand preparedas honest and independent
journalists are bound to do, to vindicate
our course to our fellow-citizens, in no
instance has this journal ever swerved
from its duty to the public, to earn the
laudation of faction, or the filthy wages of
corrupt knavery; nor shall we now, how
ever powerful the parties who have un-
holilv leagued aorainst the sacredness of
our soil, the honor of the republic, and
the majesty of its laws.
We now distinctly charge, that Carlos
de Espana, Consul of her Catholic Majes
ty, Isabella Segunda, of Spain, did feloni
ously and wickedly procure, by the pay
ment of large sums of money, several in
dividuals in this city, to conspire with
him to abduct the person of Juan Francis
co Rey, with the intention of placing said
Rey under Spanish jurisdiction; which
intention he carried out by chartering or
enffasriner the schooner Mary Eellen, at an
mormons ratp. to nroceed thither under
the control of Capt. McConRel.who clear
ed at the Custom house, the better, (we
believe,) to deceive, for the port of bt.
Thomas.
The Rnmorcd Defalcation-Spanish Consnl held
to Bail-Brig struck by Lightning and Burnt.
New Orleans, July 22.
The rumor of the defalcation of Mr.
Wilkinson, Cashier of the Canal Bank, to
a large amount, turns out to be unfounded.
We are not, at present, able to say how the
rumor originated.
The abduction of the young Spaniard,
from this city, continues to animate our
Spanish population, and excite the indig
nation of our American citizens. Tne
Spanish Consul, Senor Carlos de Espana,
and two accomplices have been arrested.
It is said, on good authority, that the Con
sul, after having made arrangements with
the captain or consignees of the schooner
Mary Ellen, which had cleared from the
custom house, for St. Thomas, went to a
house kept by a man named Morante,
where Juan Francisco Rey, the young
Spaniard, in company wrth some friends,
were enjoying themselves. Their bever
ages were drugged, and Rey, in a state of
stupor, was conducted by the Consul and
his accomplices, to a carriage near at
hand, to the Mary Ellen, and sent to Ha
vana: the Senor Carlos, all the time hold-
in"- a dagger to the unfortunate Spaniard's
throat. It is also alleged, while Rey was
in a drugged state, his signature was ob
tained to a certain document which acquits
the Consul and his two associates, from
all participation in the affair.
iThe Consul and the two men mentioned
above, have been arrested, and are held to
answer the charge of abducting the person
of Juan Francisco Rey , and handiug said
Rey over to the authorities of Her Catho
lic Majesty, Isabella Segunda, Queen of
Spain.
- Rey, we believe, is accused by the
Spanish authorities, with having facilita
ted the escape of two gentlemen, impris
oned in Havana for political offences.
The American brig Othello was struck
by lightning at Tobasco, and burnt to the
water's edge.
Interesting Account of Santa Fe.
The Tuscarora (Ohio) Advocate, has a
letter from Santa Fe, undel date of May
31st, giving the following interesting des
cription of that place and vicinity, from
one of a party of emigrants:
Santa Fe looks like a large brick yard
the houses like unburnt kilns. The peo
ple are lazy -the country around moun
tainous, and covered with snow nothing
like a farm to be seen. The Mexicans
bring in a kind of dried grass that they pull
up m the ravines of the mountain, and sell
a small armful for 50 cents. Corn $6 per
bushel; coffee 25 cents per lb. Most of
the articles for sale are from the States.
The Mexicans are now our countrymen;
but they and the country are no acquisi
tion. They spend their time in card play-!
ing, drinking, smoking, and at fandangoes. I
We were at a fandango at San Miguel; j
and while there, our party had about s$300 ,
worth of property stolen, consisting ofj
horses, mules, blankets, &c, &c. The
Mexicans are great thieves. They will,
cut the buttons trom your coat at a fan
dango, or anywhere among a crowd.
Goats and sheep are plenty. Goat's milk j
6 cents per quart, and goat3 milk cheese
122 cents per pound. Wood is brought!
from the mountains on the backs of don
keys, and sold for 25 cents per load. j
There are thirty or forty stores in Santa
Fe, kept principally by Americans. The
society is deplorable. All the houses have
earthen floors' and look unusually mean
and dirty. Nothing would tempt me to
live in such a miserable country of igno
rance, superstition, dirt and poverty.
FROM CALIFORNIA!!
THE 0T11EK SIDE OF THE PICTURE ! !
New York, July 30.
The Herald publishes a batch of letters
from California calculated to dampen the
ardor of Gold Hunters. Our correspon
dent says:
When the last steamer arrived at ban,
Francisco it had on board 250 passengers,
120 of these immediately returned on see-,
ing tne state oi tilings, tie mei on nis
return from California, on his road from
Mazatlin to Mexico large numbers of A

before getting to Mazatlin, as their money
was exhausted before they got half way. !
Several Americans have joined the Alex-j
ican Robbers and committed many out-'
rages.
The largest piece, of Gold he had seen,
weighed twelve ounces, although he was
shown lumps weighing twenty pounds,
but they had been joined together.

lars, to give glowing accounts. The ac

greatly exagerated, the papers being in the
pay of speculators.
He warns every body who can earn
two dollars a day in the States, not to go
to California.
Several vessels have been lost on the
coast of California.
The Indian Outbreak iu Florida.
The Washington Republic, of Friday,
has the following official statement of this
subject, but it will be seen that nothing is
said, as yet, of the burning and sacking of
houses:
"At the close of the Florida war. the
Seminole Indians remaining in the penin
sula were assigned as a temporary resi
dence, a track of land lyingjbetween Char
lotte Harbor and the Lake Okeenhobec.
Gen. Worth, who made this arrangement,
in 1822, reported the number of warriors
left in the country at less than 100. In
1845, Capt. Sprague, who had been act
ing in Florida, in the stead of an Indian
agent, reported the number of warriors at
less than 130; and estimated the entire In
dian population, of all ages and sexes, at
something short of 350 souls. Since that
time, we do not know that any report of
the number of Indians in Florida has been
officially made.
"The recent reported outbreak of the
Seminoles has arisen from the following
circumstances: On the Atlantic side ot
the .Peninsula; some tour families were
settled upon Indian river, nearly opposite
Fort Pearce... Four warriors visited this
settlement recently, where they were re
ceived in a friendly manner. After1 re
ceiving refreshments they departed; but a

The other reached the settlers houses,
and succeeded in making his escape, with
all the rest to Sau Augustine. Indian riv

way to San Augustine in boats, where the
news created a great deal of excitement.
The settlements upon Indian river arej

break. No other corroborating prools
have reached the Government; but the
war department has made preparations tqj
despatch a suflicient iorce to the country
re-repel the Indians, if they -contemplated
other hostilities, or to bring the murderers
to justice, if this is merely the violence o
a few stragglers."
The High and LowRich and Poor.
"The rich should be gracious to the
poor, and the poor should learn to respect
the rich," was the substance of a.
remark
in a recent proclamation of the federal gov
ernor of Massachusetts and seemed to be
in high odor with one of our Whig con
temporaries in Mississippi. The follow-
ing sensible article was not written by an
aumirer oi sncn servue senunieuo;
"A highanoTlow cjass," are said to ex
ist. Who constitutethe high class? Why
the orderly, the sober, the quiet, the law
loving and the peace-preserving citizens,
without reference to rich or poor. Were
it iDtherwise, society " could not hang to
gether for an hour. Who constitute "the
low class," but the law breakeis, the
peace disturbers, the rioters, the brawling
inebriates and the incorrigible loafers.
Not the poor, for ihere are at least as many
poor among the sober and quiet portion oi
the community, as rich. 1 he distinction
of "high and low," in classes is intended
to involve invidious sarcasm, ignominious
degredation on the poor. Who coastitute
the police' The poor. Who make up the
ranks of the militia? The poor. If the
Sheriff calls out his posse commitatus,
who obeys the call? Not the rich but the
poor. Who fights the battles of the coun
try in war? The poor. Who produce
property, and then protect it, but the poor?
We, have but two classes, the idle and the
industrious, and the latter only discharge
all the duties of good citizens.
The Kind of Funds.
The following letter from Mr. Matheys,
Superintendant of the Scuuylkil Level,
shows the kind of funds furnished by State
Treasurer Ball, for the laborers and oth
er creditors of the public works, and fully
sustains what we have alleged of him on
that point. JVest Chester Democrat.
July 17, 1849.
To N. Strickland -Dear Sir: There
has been much dissatisfaction expressed
by the hands on the Columbia railroad,
at the kind of currency in which they
have received their pay fjr the month of
May, and many of them, I understand,
impute the circumstance of their receiving
torn and raed relief, with uncurrent O
hio and Virginia paper, instead of the new
issue, which they, have a right to expect,
t3 the SjperinienJent of said road.
My object in addressing you on the
subject is to place the raattar in its proper
light, and state facts as they fell under my
own observation. On the 10th of the
present month, I accompanisd the Super
intendent of the Columbia joad to the
Bank of Pennsylvania, with a draft from
the State Treasurer, for five thousand dol
lars. On presentation of said draft by
Col. English, the Teller retired for a short
time, and returned with his arms filled
with the most filthy looking lot of ragged
relief notes that I have seen, after an ex
perience of two years.
In answer to the question from Col.
English, "Have you no better money to
give me?" the Teller replied "We have
special instructions from the State Treasu
rer to pay no drafts of officers on the pub
lic works in new issue." 1
Col. E. enquired the motive that gave
rise to tne instructions, ine i euer re
plied "I do not know the motive." CoL
E. remarked, that it mattered not what
the motive was, the operation was the
1 1 a t i
same, viz: compelling tne nanus xn tne
State employ to receive torn and deprecia
ted money for their labor, when they had
a right and did expect, from the action of
the Legislature, to receive new issue. .
The President of the bank subsequently
informed Col. English that they had new
issue, but it was reserved to pay the Au
gust interest.
1 ru.ly yours, Wm. Z. Matheys.
Case of Total Depravity. Howev
er much mankind may differ and dispute
about the doctrine of total depravity,' we
are sometimes, though we are glad to say
seldom, compelled to behold an instance.
where humanity has sunk into the depths
of degredation and depravity, so appalling
ly low as to settle forever this disputed
point. Such a case occurred a few days
aoro at tne hospital in tins city. A sick
Irishman, who had fallen under the care
of one of the city physicians, was found in
a hut almost destitute of iurniture. and
with no bed to lie upon but a large box,
with a blanket spread over it. He had
suffered severely with cholera morbus,
and had drank liquor thirteen times that
day. The physicians had him removed
to the hospital, and having provided him
with food, and other necessaries, left the
man's wife to nurse him; very shortly after
the doctor left, the wife gathered up all the
articles that had been procured for her
husband, carried them to the nearest grog
shop, and pawned them for whiskey, with
which she returned to where her husband
lay, and immediately got beastly drunk.:
Her husband died the next day. Let met
aphysicians dispute no more about total
depravity. Rochester American'.

"A spirit of rioting amongst ihe hands
on the lialtimore and Ohio, railroad, west
of Cumberland, appears from all accounts
to be on the increase..;- During the whole
of last week, rumors of various kinds were
afloat concerning ihe dangerous situation
of particular parties the peril and danger
contractors were in, and the detention of
the work consequent upon such a state of
affairs. "X)n ' Thursday, a -gang of fifty or
more assembled and marched up and down
the line for five or six miles, .threateninj
all who did not leave, ofT .work, or wha
had not the horior of being.a native of the
same county or parish .in Ireland with
themselves, with death and.destruction.
It is also rumored 'thai, thefts "are being
committed on the farmers, in" the wavof
