AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . Latest accounts from Vienna are to Sept . 18 . It was reported in Vienna that Count Sturraer , the Austriau ambassador , and Count Tetoff , the Russian ose , had left Constantinople in consequence of the refusal of the Porte to surrender the leaders of the Hungarian insurrection . On the 15 lh , in the evening , a courier arrived here from Hungary with despatches from General Nugent for the Emperor , but the contents are not known . The garrhon of Coraorn has retired into the intrenched camp at Sandherg .
The * Wanderer' speaks of a successful sortie made by the insurgents of Comorn , in which they captured avast number of ladders and other objects required for the siege . The rumour is partly confirmed by the arrival here on the 15 th of a considerable number of wounded . Pesth , Sept . 13 . ~ On tie evening of the 12 th inst . a fri g htful hurricane with thunder and lightning burst over this city . Its effects were terrific and destructive ; all tb . 2 windows , for instance , having a westerly aspect , were dashed to pieces by the hail , and the broken panes alone are estimated at 200 , 000 , Quantities of cattle were being brought in that were found killed in the fields . All the vineyards round and about the tsvo cities of Pesth and Ofen are utterly destroyed .
Viesxa , Sept . 19 . —The journals of Pesth bring us a new list of condemnations by special commissions . For some days past the military executions by shooting or hanging have been exchanged for imprisonment with hard labour . Georgey arrived at Klugenfurtb on the 11 th . His party consisted of two carriages ; he , with his wife and daoghter , and Major Andrassy , went in one ; his chasseur and domestics in the other . They alighted at the Kaisser-Krone , where Georgey has established himself . lie goes about the streets quite free , but generally accorapanirdby bis wife or Major Andrassy . Georgey is said to have expressed the wish to buy an estate in the neighbourhood of Kiugenfurlb .
The' Ost-Deutsche Post' contains a long article on the participation of religious paities in the llungarian revolutions , by which it appears that the Protestant clergV t for wbich Austria , as is well knows , has never done anything , was most devoted to Kossuth and the national cause . Of the Catholic clergy , it was the order of tbe piarists who most heartily co-operated , and it is remarked taut this order had been previously persecuted by the ' open and secret' Jesuits . On the other hand , the Benedictines , and even the oppressed Franciscans , remained true to the Austrian imperial hous ? . The common Catholic clergyman were all imbued with Magyar ideas . The Greco-united clergy went hand in hand with , the Catholic clergy , but the non-united is almost solely in the Woy wodina , where they fanaiicised the Servians against the Hungarians .
According to a letter from Acs , the negotiations trith the fortress of Comorn have been completely broken off , and the imperial troops are preparing { or an assault upon the foriress . The actual siege is to commence during the conrse ot the piesent week ; 80 , 000 men , together with the best military equipment and materials , are at tbe disposal of the commander of the siege . Marshal Gerard , writing of Antwerp , said it would take twenty-nine days to take that fortress by assault after a regular siege- Field Marshal Nugent having far greater difficulties to surmount , need require from forty to forty-eight days to take Camorn . According to ' the
'Wanderer , ' a report is circulated in Vienna that , in consequence of the intervention of Radetski ' Comcrn will capitulate on the same terms as Venice . Among the numerous conditions proposed by the council of war of Comorn for tbe reduction of the fortress , is tbe demand of an eulire amnesty for the superior officers and civil functionaries of the fortress , and the conservation of their rank as officers . The 'Watdur' speaks of a sally made b y tbe fortress of Comorn , in which many scaling ladders and other articles used in the siege were carried oT . What gives a colour to tbe truth of this statement is the fact tbat many wounded arrived at Vienna on the 15 th .
The Russian troops who occupied the mount villages have been sent on to Comorn , and have been replaced by 3 , 000 men of the Sclavonian Landstnrm . These trnops , who are thoroughly acquainted with the defiles and passages of the mountains , are a great acquisition against th surgent binds who infest the country . The Russian troops withdrawn from Hungary v .-ill not be sent back to their o ! d stations in the interior , but remain for the present in Polaud , Volhjnia , and on the frontier . The ' Pesther Zeitung' continues to bear daily witness to the activity of the courts-martial . Among the most remarkable sentences recorded latterly is tbe fallowing : —
' Ladislaus . Count Zelinsky , native of Cracow , aged 38 , catholic , married , chamberlain of the imperial court , formerly captain in the Austrian service of the Prince Schwarzenberg ' s regiment of Lancers , convicted by court-martial of having attempted to pro-Cure the desertion of the same regiment to the Hungarian cause , and employed emissaries and other means for the attainment of this end , although without result , has been pronounced guilty of attempted military subornation , and according to the 30 th article of war , in combination with the proclamation of F . Z . M . llaynau , of July l , has been condemned to suffer , besides the loss " of his office cf chamberlain , ten years of bard labour at fortifications in light irons . ' The insurgent Count Lenange it is said has died of cholera at Arad .
DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES . —The Bukarest Gazette' gives tbe report sent to it from Tiirnu Severin , relative to Bern , Guyon , and Stein , with 15 officers , 1 , 500 infantry , and 800 cavalry , havi ng arrived there . On surrendering to the Turkish commanding officer , they , the chiefs , were sent on to "Widdin , but it was not yet known what Lad been done with tbe rest . We also learn from the same 'Gazette' quoted above that the estate of Bemberg , given to Bern by tbe Hungarian regiment , has been destroyed , as far as that was possible , by fin * .
FRANCE . ^ Paris , Saturday . —A circular of the minister of justice , says the 'Presse , ' directs the prefects ef the frontier deparnments not to allow any foreigners to enter who cannot prove tbat they have the means of existence .

SWITZERLAND . Tbe number of German refugees who have quitted the Swis 3 territory to return to the Palatinate is estimated at more than 1 , 000 . They are allowed to cross the French territory as for as tbe Gsraan frontier , on the side cf Wissemburg . The' Ticino Gazette' of the 17 th states as positjve that the council of state of Ticino has received a despatch from the federal council , announcing to it the result of the remonstrances made at Milan by
the Swiss consul &nd tbe French consul-general to Marshal Radetski and General Hess , concerning fhe conqsntration of troops now going on on thefrontier of the canton of Ticino . The Austrian general is said to have this time opsnly declared that this concentration is intended to induce Ticino to follow the example of the federal council with respect to the refagees , and that it is also intended as a precaution « punt the assemblage of malcontents at Geneva , a * also to be ready for any event that might happen in consequence of tbe entrance in Swi Undoflie

German refagees . The Federal Council was therefore recommended to invite the government of Ticino to execute the degree against the refugees , and to send the Federal Council a list of the names of all such individuals . The tenor of the despatch in question seemed to allude at the same time to further measures which would be taken against the subjects of Ticino settled in Lombardy .
GERMANY . BADEN . —Mannheim , Sep . 20—M . Dielz , from Schneeberg , in Saxony , was sentenced io death yesterday by a Court Martial , for his participation in the insurrection at Baden , and was shot at five o ' clock this rooming . He was an athletic young man of twenty-seven years ; neither be nor the public were prepared tor the severity of his sentence .
ITALY . ROME . —The * Nazoaale' if Florence of the 15 th ult ., announces the arrest , at Rome of M Nicolini , who had been a popular leader in the late Tuscan revolution . Count Socconi , of Fermo , Polidori , and two other officers of tbe dissolved regiments have also been arrested . In the sitting of the 17 th ult ., the Chamber of Deputies of Turin commenced the discussion of the
bill for the abolition of the law of primogeniture By Ms bill the right of entailing property is to be abolished . The foundations and dotations of comraandership in the knightly order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus are likewise to be abrogated . The laws and statutes of the said-order are revoked in what concerns the distinction between Knights of Justice and of Grace ; and the proofs of noble birth , hitherto required , are no longer to be insisted on .
Rome , Sept . 17 . —A grand escape of condemnation , or more properly speaking , accused priests , took place on the day before yesterday from the prisons of the inquisition , where they were confined , some for having acted as regimental chaplains , some for having blessed the republican troops , and others for similar offences against ecclesiastical decorum . They succeeded in effecting a subterranean excavation from their dungeon to upper day , or rather night , for they cade off about one o ' clock after midnight without being molested by the French sentries in the neighbourhood , for , as it had been denied that there were any prisoners in the vaults , the soldiers
did not consider themselves obliged to watch very strictly . Some women of the Trestevere quarter are said to have assisted considerably in the liberation of the prisoners , of whom from nine to thirteen are variously stated to have escaped . A few , amongst whom was M . Gazzola , of literary and newspaper fame , refused to leave the prisons , some alleging that , being accused of pecuniary peccadillos , flight would be equivalent to a confession of guilt ; and some unfortunates , finally , were prevented from profiting by the general move , and emerging with their
companions to rimder lestelle , by the dreadful predicament of one of their number , who , being a very stout man got jammed In the escape hole , and fixed himself SO firmly in the wall hy his own tfforts , that , « return as tidious as to go o er , he was obliged to remain until the affair got wind , and he was captured midway . Two French artillery men walking from the neighbouring guaid-house , saw the first prisoners escape , and pretended not to observe them , saying one to another , Laissons done ediapper cespauvres diallei—faut leur tounier ledos .
SARDINIA—The Concordia' of the 17 th ult ., gives the following particulars concerning Garibaldi ' s visit to Nice : —• Garibaldi has , so to say , been carried in triumph by the population of Nice . He embraced with emotion his old mother , his aunt , and his other relation ? , who pressed him to their bosoms , while his children , Menotti , and Ricciotli , embraced his knees . This happy interview was saddened only by the absence of his late wife , whom she brave officer had been so cruell y bereaved of during the latter events . Garilialdi called upon his friend Desdery , who has adopted his little daughter Teresita ; Garibaldi ' s carriage could move but slowly in the streets , as everybody wished to greet him . When Teresita saw her father , she exclaimed ;— ' Grandmamma has been to Rome , » he
will have told how good 1 have been ! ' Garibaldi was struck with these simple words , wbich but too dearl y reminded him of the loss he had sustained . He passed the day with his friend Desdery , and next morning returned on board the St . Geonrfs , as he had promised . He was everywhere saluted by cbeers on his way to the steamer . Ttie following is a letter of his to one of his friends : — ' Jly dear friend , —I am to sail to-morrow for Tunis on board the Tiipoli . I have seen what you have done for me , and what your generous colleagues have done . I charge you to express my gratitude to them . I have no reason to complain of any one . I believe we are in times in which resignation is necessary , for we are in times of bitterness . Remember me to all the brave defenders of the Italian cause , and love your Joseph Garibaldi .
Genoa , Sept . lo . The'Concordia ' adds , that the authorities at Genoa treat him with the greatest regard . He has an orderly at bis service , and a sentinel at his door . His friends are allowed free access to him . A letter from Genoa , of the 16 th ult ., published in the same journal , confirms the intelligence of his departure on board the Tripoli for Sardinia , and then ; e for Tripoli . The royal commissioners , on informing him of this decision of the government , assured him the measure was but temporary , and would at most last two or three months if tranquillity was not again disturbed .
THE REFUGEES AT MALTA . On the 18 th of September the Sardinian brig Concordia , Captain Castaglioli , put into the port of Malta from Genoa , bound to the Piiieus of Athens and Constantinople , having on board 16 'J efficers , non-commissioned efficers , privates and volunteers , chitfiy Hungarians , Lombards , and Poles , the vessel being in a sinking state , from having sprung aleak , indeed , making water to such an extent as to be kept afloat with much difficulty by straw stuffed into her seams , sails frapped under her bottom , and the keeping of both pumps constantly going / or several days previous . \
Under the standing orders of Mr . Richard More O'Ferrall , the governor , these unfortunate men ( charitably embarked at the expense of the Sardinian government , were immediately notified that they would not , under any circumstances , be allowed to land , although it resulted from a survey held on the vessel , that for the repair of her damages it became necessary that she should be hove down , and which operation would entail the getting out of her ballast , all which would occupy several davs .
Undersuch orders the captain had no other alter ! native than to start his living cargo into four open lighters , in which they remained exposed to the scorching rays of the summer sun during the day , the deadly dew by ni g ht , and the oppressive ami stifling September sirocco as well by day as by night , for the following forty-eight hours " , when , upon an application made officially , as we understand , by the Sardinian Consul , on the score of humanity , to Colonel Rice Jones , of the Royal Engineers , administering , as senior military officer , the government in the absence of Mr . More O'Ferrell ,
permission was granted on the 20 th for the bands to land entheCorradino Mole , to stretch their cramped limbs , and to such as preferred a lod ging in the Lazzaretto , accommodation was tendered therein , which latter will be gratefully availed of by some eighteen or twenty who are labouring under gunshot and other wounds and diseases , some of which , from their loathsome and contageous nature , render segregation from their felW-sufferers in distress a matter of urgent necessity . We are informed that a draft of another hundred of the distressed Sicilian refugees , ex Gennaro , have been sent away to the Piraeus of Athens by a Greek vessel .
IONIAN ISLANDS . The 'OsservatoreTriestino' publishes the news from Corfu of Sep . 13 th , as follows u' The insurrection in the Ionian Islands is to be regarded as completel y quelled in consequence of the energetic measures employed . A small band of about forty insurgents have fled to the mountains , where , faowerer , they » ust soon surrender to the soldiery surrounding them . Several executions b y martia ! law have already taken place , to be soon followed by others .
TURKEY . Constantinople , Sep . 5 . — The Russian and Austrian ministers both sent notes to the Porte , demanding that the Polith and Hungarian refugees at present in Turkey should he given up . A Council of Turkish ministers was held last Friday , when it was determined to reject the demand of M . ds Titoff and the count de Sturmer . The SuJtan has approved of the decision of the council . This" act of firmness on the part of the Sultan and his ministers has given great satisfaction to the English and French ambassadors , not unmingled , I am told , v'ith a certain amount of anxiety as to what may Le the ulterior results of such a bold measure . Yesterday an aide-de-camp of the Emperor Nicholas ( Count Radzirill ) arrived here from XW

saw on board a steamer from Galatz . His arrival caused a good , deal of excitement in the dip lomatic bedy . On landing , the principal aid-de-camp , wto has the rank of general , received a salute of thirteen guns . He has come on a special mission to the Porte . As I anticipated , the emperor is very much displeased with the policy pursued by the Turkish government , and has sent bis aide-de-camp to complain . Of the details of the general ' s mission noi much has yet transpired . It appears , however , that he has instructions to insist that the Hungarian and Polish refugees shall be instantly given up . There is a council at the Porte to-day to discuss the new demands of tbe Czar . It is , however , generally believed in the diplomatic circle that the Turkish government will not change its original determination ,
INDIA AND CHINA . The intelligence by the Overland Mail is scanty . The Punjab generally and the north-west frontier are tranquil , though rumours were still afloat respecting the designs of Gbolab Sing . Sickness still prevailed amongst the troops at Lahore .
THE WEST INDIES . The Royal West India mail packet Trent , Capt . Clarke , from the West Indies , &c , arrived at Southampton on Monday , and landed her mails and despatches under the charge of Lieut . Denneby , R . N .. Admiralty agent . From Mexico we learn that the struggle between tbe Indian race and the whites remains in the same state as it was at date of last advices .
_ From California various letters and the description of persons just returned from San Francisco speak of little els- ; than much misery and great disappointment . Markets glutted with goods and provisions , and prices so low as scarcely sufficient to pay the freight . Beef and pork , four dollars a barrel ; flour , five dollars ; and calico , three cents , a yard . Ninety thousand of ' Trent's' dollars are from Vera Cruz for the bondholders .
UNITED STATES . By the vigour of the United States government ; the projected expedition to Cuba had been nipped in the bud . In consequence of instructions received by electric telegraph from Washington the U . S . Marshal of the district seized the Sea Gull and other vessels prepared at New York for this secret expedition , on charge of being engaged in an expedition intended for the invasion of some foreign power with which the United States are at peace .

My Dear Fellow Working Men , — "ffhilo the subject of ventilation is before the Legislature , permit me to lay my thoughts before you and the country . Though I no longer can follow that dangerous occupation myself , I can still view you and tho dangers with which you are surrounded ; and while pondering on those evils , the following plan presented itself to my mind , which , if brougrr ? into operation , ( and which could be done at no great expense ) would prevent the recurrence of such calamities as have too often taken place in these districts . I know every man present understands my subject . I consider the goaf is the spot where the enemy lurks ; and to remove that enemy with perfect
safety to you all is my plan , namely , to bore a hole , or holes , down into the goaf from , tho surface , thus the enemy could make bis escape , and thus the owners mi ght conduct it to the heapstands or workshops , as they think proper , and the enemy of life and property might bo rendered the servant of buth . My plan is simple , but no less effectual ; I have maturely considered this plan to the lowest beams now working , and I will be ready to give an answer to any person that may object to it . My ( loaf friends , I sond my bust respects to you all , as there are many here that know me personally ; 1 wish te lot you know that 1 !» n well , m good spirits , although deprived of sight . Yours truly , CUTHBEUT WaTKI . W Bitchburn Colliery , Sept . 14 th .

Bask of England . —At tho half-yearl y General Court of Bank of Enland Stock Proprietors , held last week , a dividend was proposed of 3 i pev cent ., without deduction for income-tax for tho half-year ending 10 th October next ; this dividend would leave " the rest" at £ 3057 , 973 . Mr De Winton , sen ., moved that the dividend be 4 i per cent . ; and added to the arguments with which he has so often advocated increased dividends , one founded on the importations of California gold : — " From a letter which appeared in tho Times , received through America , lie found that , last year , the golilcollccted in California , amounted in value to 50 , 000 , 000
dollars , or £ 10 , 000 , 000 sterling . What effect would that have upon the price of gold in London , which was tho centre of the industrial world ? Whv he should not be surprised if , instead of £ l 5 , 00 0 , odo of bullion , they should have next year £ 20 , 000 , 000 ; Which , Of C 0 UV 5 C , would operate favourabl y to a reduction of capital . The arbitrary price of gold here was £ 3 17 s . 10 R per ounce ; but he was inclined to think the constant influx of specio into this country must hereafter reduce the value of that metal to £ 3 10 s ., and there would then be a difference often per cent . " Mr . De Winton ' s motion was seconded and supported b y Mr . De Winton , jun . It was negatived ; and the dividend of 3 J per cent , was confirmed . 1
