Baltimore, October 3, 1S49. The Canada arrived at Halifax at a quarter past 9 yesterday morning, making the passage in less thai ten days. The commercial news, upon the whole, exhi bits an active movement. Produce market fair-! ly supplied, but demanjd for most articles inac tive. Cotton trade languid at fair prices. The political news presents no new feature. In breadstuff there appears to be great firmness exhibited, higher prices being paid. In cured provisions there is a moderate business at steady prices. Advices from the manufacturing districts are unsatisfactory. Comorn, though besieged, still holds out, and can defy the besiegers one entire year. The in fluence of Russia and Austria is being exerted to compel the Porte to surrender the Hungarian chiefs who have taken refuge in Turkey. But letters from Constantinople state that this has been positively refused. The Pope has quitted Gaeta and proceeded to Naples. His reception was of a most strong and popular chaiacter. He will not go to Rome for the present. The cholera is committing serious ravages at Trieste. The newly appointed ministers were assembling at Madrid, but no notice seems to have been ta ken of events relative to Cuba. The weather has been wet in England, but net materially affecting the crops. The late down ward tendency in the corn market has checked the slight advance which had takea place. The favorable reports of the potato disease had caused this reaction. Hop picking in England bus been disastrous. One great effort had been made by growers to procure relief, from which movements a favora ble change had taken place. The mortality from cholera throughout En gland has declined one-half. Since its commence ment 13,000 persons have been swept from London. IRELAND. The Potato disease is, beyond doubt, extending into several districts, though it has not by any means become general. FRANCE. A good deal of attention is direct- j ed to the Metropolitan council, winch has com menced its sittings at Paris. Almost all the bishops and distinguished clergy in France are assisting at the council. The cholera appears to have abated in Paris. The conspirators of June, 1S49, are to be tried at Versailles on the 10th of October. RESIGNATION OF THE DUTCH MINIS TRY -The papers announce the unexpected re signation of the Dutch ministry en masse. After deliberation, the King accepted their resigna tions, and gave instructions for the formation of another cabinet. The circumstances which led to this result had not transpired. Honor to Abdel Meschis ! Honor to Turkish ministers! They have nobly done their duty, and refuse to become panderers to the vindictive bioodtlurst ing of Joseph and Nicholas. The Russian am bassador at the Porte demanded the surrender of the Hungarian officers, Kossuth, Dembiaski, Perczel, Mesmerasses, ami their companions. The Russian General had arrived at Constantin ople his mission being to bully the Sultan into compliance with the demands of Austria. A council being held, the Turkish gevernment re solved not to surrender the Hungarian refugees to either the Russian or Austrian government. On this decision being communicated to the Sul tan, he declared in the most emphatic and de termined manner that the refugees should not be given up, let the consequences be what they might. We are rejoiced to find thatCassa and his com panions are furnished with passports from Eng lish ambassadors, and trust that every assistance and support will be rendered by England for the independence of his country against the attacks of Russia and Austria. Latest intelligence to the London Sun says that Peterwardein surrendered to the imperial troops on the 5th ult. The Magyars decided still to hold out, but a majority overruled them According to the Vienna journals, 80,000 men are to besiege Comorn. The bombardment was to commence on the 13th, when the Austrians occupied a great part of the island of Scbutt without resistance; but a part of the Hungarians were strongly entrenched before the fortress, and it was expected would give the Austrians battle. It was rumored at Vienna that Bern had fallen intd the hands of the Russians. Several Hungarian officers had been put to death some by the Russians at Arad and Temesvar. Since the 15th the demand for cotton has been dull. Sales for one week 28,000 bales. . Com mittee's quotations for fair cotton remained on changed. It is not likely that a further rise will take place, unless encouraging accounts from India are received. Overflow of Ked Uiveii. The Alex andria Republican states that the losses through the inundiation will be immense. In that parish alone, if the crop of cottc-n bc.estiinuied at 25,000 bales, and of sugar at 10,000 hogsheads, with the usual quan tity ot molasses, the loss will be $1,700, 000 ; and should the injuries done to tlu coi n crop and property generally be takeii into consideration, it will run up to 83,000. 000. The Red River valley, instead ' giving 130,000 bales of cotton, will not yit tiiisyear more than 30,000. Mere is a I;;: of S5, 000,000. Who arc the laborers in San Francisco? A letter from San Francisco, in the Na tional Advertiser says : Men do any thing here for money, ex-Alderman Pickett, of your city is here with his family, ami is running a scow and small boat about the harbor, and making money. Prof. Shepherd, of one of Cie Eastern Colleges, is driving a team at Sacramento city, and two young graduates of Yale College are driving teams about the city." From the Sumptcr (S. C.) Banner. SHOCKING KVENT. It has become our painful duty to record one of the most tragic events which the an nals of our State presents, the death of John A. Colclough, Jun. On Satutday evening last he was called on by Mrs Marshall, the wife of one Richard Marsh all, to make some effort to protect her from the wrongs which had been inflicted on her by her husband. Prompted by the gener osity of his nature, he immediately went, accompanied by his brother and broiher-iri-law, to the house occupied by Marshal!, ct a distance of some three or four hundred yards from his residence. Marshcll bejn'-; called, alter some time came out to lucrec them in the yard learning who they were and what had brought them to his house, he became furiously enraged, which was in creased by the remonstrance and reproi which they addressed to him. Being heU by one ot the gentlemen by the collar, l.o desired him to let him get his coat was permitted to enter his house for the pur pose and as soon as fie entered he seised his gun and fu ed at Mr John A. Colclough. The load entered his head and he fell with out a word. The gun, we understand, was loaded with duck-shot and a slug of lead. This occurred after night, but the loooii was shining brightly. Marshall was im mediately arrested and committed to Jail, where he will remain for his trial. Of the criminal, stern justice, require us to be silent; his case must be judgfd jt by his country and his Creator. Of.-. . Colclough, it is no lying epitaph to . . that he was the laorite of all who ki.w him. Machink fr opening Oysteks. Th-. editor of the Evening Post, now travellin iu Europe, says that the old-fashio'id wn of rapping the shell of an oyster, forcing' knife into the body of the unfortunate ai.; mal, and fetching li'un to light with a tHc many sir?" has been superseded in Par! by a machine. "Mr Baud on refonjss ! barbarities altogether. The oyster r- . over so jrenllv in a grove the sen-.: turned once, twice le voila the un cious oyster is before you blinded br";:" light, without a gaping wound. There i no serious of raps to warn the oyster of lil doom no portion of the castle is breachc but the vice is turned, the valves fly apart and blinded and bewildered, the lie oystc is consigned to tickle your palate with hi . dying agonies. The Remedy as bad as the Disease A few days ago, near Germantown, Pa., a man went down in a confined well to clean it. The foul air overcame him, and he was seized with faiutness. A rope-was let down to him, which he was too weak to properly adjust around his body. In haul ing him up, the rope slipped from under his arms, and caught him about the neck. His rescuers did not preceive the mishap until they drew him out The poor man was so far gone with strangulation that he was restored with the utmost difficulty. CARTHAGE HOTEL.
