There can be no mistaking the signs of the times, as developed by the present position of po- Utical parties throughout the country. There is danger ahead. A portion of the democratic party, known as the barnburners, have seceded, and formed an inde. pendent organization, on which they have joined issue with the South on the question of the exten- sion of slavery. The whig nomination for a can- didate for the Presidency was, it is maintained by the friends of Mr. Clay, in the Northern and East- em States, aceomplished by Southern influence, irrespective of whig principles; and symptoms are apparent that that nomination is not only distaste- ful to the whigs of the North and East, but there are strong indications that he will not receive their support. In this condition of things, the Wilmot pro- viso section of the one party, known as the barn- burners—a very large and powerful party—have de- termined upon holding a State convention of their own, and nominating and voting for a candidate forthe Presidency of their own ; and the whigs of Massachusetts have determined to have, likewise, another State convention, and nominate Mr. Clay. ‘What the whigs of New York will do, is not yet fully developed. From present appearances, how- ever, we think it is a matter of much doubt whe- ther they will all support General Taylor, and cast aside Mr. Clay. When the nonfination of General Taylor was re- ceived here, the whig general committee endorsed it, and issued a call for a meeting of whigs to ra- tify it. On deliberation, however, and in view, probably, of what their brethren in Massachusetts have done, they have countermanded that call, and the meeting stands postponed until it shall have been ascertained whether General Taylor will ac- cept the nomination as a whig, and will consent to run asthe whig candidate. Now we have no idea that that distinguished man will consent to do any such thing; for he has expressly said, over and over again, that although he called himself a whig, he would accept the nomination of any party. If he should reply to the queries which the general whig committee will propound to him, in asimilar strain to those which were asked of him before his nomination, the whigs of New York—or at least that portion of them represented cv the whig general committee, and Mr. Clay’s cogan, the Tribwne—cannot ratify his nomination and will not support him. They will then, in such an event, follow the example of the whigs in Massachusette—call another State convention— and other States will do the same. We may, therefore, have another national convention, and another whig candidate in the field. The two great parties are, therefore, placed in exactly a similar position at the present time; and the matter which divides them relates directly to the South. It is, in fact, the first step towards ar- raying the Northern and free States against the Southern and slave States, and may yet, if extreme moderation be not used, result in a fierce struggle for the ascendancy between these two extreme por- tions of the confederacy, and, perhaps, end ina dissolution of the Union itseif. The struggle between the North and the South, which ended in the Missouri compro- mise—a measure which, by the way, was ac- complished by Mr. Clay—was participated in by only two parties; the struggle now being com- | menced is in that respect different. It comprises men of all political parties, sects and factions— whigs, democrats, socialists, Fourierites, poets and abolitionists, of every grade, color and hue. if it be carried on with vigor, the regular liberty, or sand, will, in all probability, join the extreme Northern party, and add so much fuel to the fire. It will, therefore, be a more fierce struggie than the first, and may rock the confederacy to its foun- dations. There is at present a lull. What the whigs of | New York will do we shall know in a few days; | what the barnburners will do, we already know. They have taken their stand, for good or for evil. What the full-dyed abolitionists—the men who supported Birney as their candidate atthe last elec- tion—will do, we shall likewise know in a short | and tnnoh: teat “Will: tee: of emmeutial»benalit to | them in successfully working out the prublem time. But in view of what is now transpiring, parties in this country are evidently in a state of dangerous transition; the signs are, that the different recu- sant factions will be fused together in course of time, and form a great Northern party, pledged to | stop the progress of Southern influence, and attain the ascendancy, We wait, with fear and trem- bling, the result. The times are evidently preg- nant with great events, and what the result even- tually may be, no one knows. Poxirics anp Trape in § agitations spreading all over Europe, beginning with the revolution in Paris, must create a terri- ble revulsion in all kinds of trade and business throughout the whole world. We expect nothing now, for years to come, but bankruptcies, failures, and revulsions of all kinds. Even England, un- connected as she is with the political convulsions of the day, to a certain extent; must feel their ef- fects upon her trade and commerce. Our own be- lief is, that all the political systema, financial sys- tems, banking systems, and systems of public cre- dit, in the different countries—from the shores of the Atlantic to the confines of Russia, North and South—will go to utter ruin during the next few years. ARRIVAL oF THE NoRTHERNER—LATER From THE Sovrn.—The steamer Northerner arrived yester- day morning, ina very quick run from Charleston, bringing papers through to New Orleans one day in advance of the mail. We have, as usual, an abundant supply of papers, for which we are indebt- ed to Captain Budd and to the newspapers of Charleston, bp peer ge people of the United are in the of their regular quadrennial revolution, which results always in a change in our government, if such change chould be deinanded by the voice of the people, or the continuance in office, for another term, of the party who held it for the four years preceding. If the policy pursued by the govern ment meet with the approbation of the people, ex- pressed through the ballot box, then the party al- ready in power will be permitted to retain it for another term of four years; and if, on the contrary, it do not meet such approbation, the party in power will be repudiated, and the opposition will be vest- ea with the direction of the national affairs. The more it is examined, the more beautiful does the theory of our government and institutions appear, and the greater the wisdom, foresight, and prudence, which animated those who framed it. Simple and unimposing—unattended with any of the pomp, extravagance, and oppression, which mark the governments of the old world—itis strong, powerful, and abundantly capable of protecting the life and liberty of its citizens at home, and of up- holding and defending the national honor abroad. When the constitution was first launched, and the wheels of our republic and institutions were first put in motion, 1t was amid the gibes and jeers of a world of enemies, Disaster and disunion were predicted to our cause; and in a few years, it was foreseen by those whose rule and sway over the masses conflicted with the theory that man was capable of self government, and the truth of which we were determined to test, would end in\ civil war, anarchy, asd bloodshed. With full comfidence, however, in the wisdom and patriotism of the masses, our fathers watched over the work which came from their hands, protected it in its infancy, and when about to fulfil their des- tiny, deposited the treasure in the hands of their successors, with strict injunctions as to its protec- tion, Year after year rolled on, until the present. The American republic, which first numbered only three millions of people, now numbers twenty— which was confined at first to thirteen States, now extends over thirty—which was weak and almost powerless at the commencement of its career, is now, in everything that constitutes national strength, the greatest and most powerful nation on the face of the globe. While revolution after revolution racks the foundations of the old world; while crown topples after crown, and ministers and tyrants flee before the uprisen masses, the people of the United States look calmly on, contemplate the changes, and congratulate themselves that they are free from the oppressions which their less favored brethren are so successfully shaking off. Having successfully provento the world that self government was not a theory, an abstraction, an impossibility, and having made mighty advances | in the arts and sciences, and in civiliza- tion, under the auspices of free institutions, it was natural that other nations shpuld imitate ours. They have done so. The worn-out theories of government which have prevailed for centuries, are repudiated by the masses of the whole of Eu- rope, and the great democmatic principle is in the ascendant in every country in that quarter of the world. This is a proud and honorable position for our country to hold. We are now looked up to by a world, as a great shining light. The clouds of prejudice which ignorance or design formed around us, are dispelled, and our institutions stand before the astonished people of the old world in all their purity and simplicity. Never was there a time when the United States appeared to more ad- vantage than they do at present, and never was there a time when the peace, quiet, and calmness which now prevail in the midst of our Presidential canvass, could be watched with greater interest and advantage than the present. Our people meet in their townships and wards—then in their coun- ties, then in their several States, and afterwards in a grand national assembly, where they select from among themselves a man who, in his past conduct, has rendered himself worthy of being en- trusted with the great honor which they wish to confer on him, by electing him their President. The regularity, order, and decorum which charac- terise these assemblages, cannot be too highly ap- preciated, and cannot but inspire men with con- fidence in the principles of self-government. We sawrecently, a national assembly, composed of an immense number of delegates of the great whig party of the country, exercising the trusts which were confided to them by their constituents. There was no need for an armed force to protect the members—there was no need of special constables to preserve the peace ; every delegate, and every spectator, was a magistrate, charged with the pre- servation of order. The duties which these dele- gates performed affect the whole people; and yet, amidst the excitement attending their deliberations, and the breathless anxiety which pervaded the Union to know the result, there was no outbreak of popular tumult, no breach of the law—for it was the people who were acting in their capacity as | freemen—the people who make the law, and the people who preserve it. Nor are the several can- didates who were before the convention of dele- gates men distinguished by any titles of nobility— | whig meeting whieh wes held on Mondiy even- ing—and which was reported yesterday in the co- lumns of the Herald—was a remarkable sign. Matthew L. Davis, the well known politician, and constant friend of Mr. Clay, presided over the meeting; and some remarkable speeches were de- livered, particularly by Mr. Selden and Mr. Fow- ler. These will have rather a startling effect upon the community, during the present crisis. It appears that a great portion of the friends of Mr. Clay in this city are determined to re-organize the whig party in his favor, and to run him at all hazards. The speakers at this meeting all ex- pressed their determination not to submit to the nomination of Taylor—dictated, as they say it is, by Southern influence. This sentiment, as uttered by them, was received with prodigious applause by the audience. We expect, therefore, to see, in a few days, the guerilla standard raised on behalf of Mr. Clay, by his adherents, in spite of the Philadelphia nomina- tion, Even the whig committee seems to be taken all aback ; for after having called a ratifica- tion meeting of the nomination of Gen. Taylor, ithas backed out, swallowed up all the resolu- tions, and postponed the meeting indefinitely. Probably they iutend first to send on a messenger to Louisiana, and procure some private pledges from Gen. Taylor, before they give their support to his election. There never was such a state of effervescence in political matters, in this part of the country, as there is at this moment. In the meanwhile, why do not the independent, industrious, fearless, determined people of New York, meet spontaneously togethe! in the Park, and ratify the nomination of General Taylor, in spite of all factions and political parties? He is not the candidate of the whigs exclusively, or of any other party. He has been brought be- fore the country, supported by the country, and no- minated by the spontaneous influence of the peo- ple, without any reference to any party. Gome to the Park. ‘Wuo Kitten Cock Rosrn?—The solution of this great and important question may be now said to be determined. For the last quarter of a century party. For twenty years he has been alive and kick- ing; but the recent Philadelphia convention has killed him outright. In answer te this great ques- tion—who killed Cock Robint—we reply: To the best of our knowledge and belief, we have now found out the individual—-and that individual 1s, we think, that profound philosopher, Horace Greeley. During the laet year, Mr. Clay’s nomination has been advocated with so much pertinacity and vio- lence—with so much obstinacy and irritability—by the chances of Henry Clay’s nomination. The social doctrines of the Tribune, put forth by daat journal for many years—1its abolition and Fourierite doc- trines mingling with its political sentiments for Mr. Clay—have appalled the Southern statesmen, and Mr. Clay, as it has been seen in the late conven- tion at Philadelphia. The socialism of Greeley and the Tribune, connected with his Fourierite clubs, have killed Mr. Clay; and thus is solved the great question—who killed Cock Robin? Van Buren, Catnoun, Cray.—These three dis- p tinguished statesmen are now in a similar position —on their backs, like a turtle. For many years the country has been convulsed by political parties, and struggles have been made in order to advance the personal interests of some one or other of these distinguished men. Now they are on their last legs. Some years ago, Mr. Calhoun raised a separate flag in his State, in consequence of his failure to head off General Jackson. Mr. Van Buren is now in the same predicament, and is raising his sepa- rate flag of revolt and Wilmot provisaism in this State, to head off General Cass. Mr. Clay—ditto. He and his friends will probably raise a separate and distinct standard, to head off General Taylor. All the old timber must go down the stream—and new trees, fresh from the forest, take their places. Newsrarer Enterprise aNp Hoaxina.—Perhaps we need not wam the public to beware of the hoaxes which are attempted to be played upon them, by our virtuous cotemporary, thé New York Sun. Thatjournal is known and duly appreciated. The impudence with which it claims every piece | of newspaper enterprise as its own, is only of a piece, in point of morality and justice, with the hoax of the Plainfield and other banks, or with that of its daily circulation of 55,000. The news steamers employed by the leading | newspapers, of which we are one, at least, of this city, are called, one of them the “ Newsboy,” the other the “ Buena Vista.” The one is employed in this port—the other between Boston and Halifax. These steamers belong not to the Sun, but only to the associated newspapers engaged in this busi- ness and enterprise. Yet the Sun is impudently and daringly claiming for itself alone the credit of | originating and setting in motion, and of publish- by wealth, or by blood, from their fellows. They | were, in fact, all poor men, and occupy their posi- tions more by the superiority of their intellect and their past services to the country, than by anything else. We remember the man who has been se- few years ago, as a plain, honest, rustic looking | man. He was ordered to the frontier, and en- ~ | trusted with the command of an army. His mode- abolition, party, which cast sixty thousand votes at | the last Presidential election, and whose strength | is now probably increased to one hundred thou- | ration, bravery, and firmness, were conspicuous in the scenes which followed; and at the present time, he stands the candidate of a great party, for the most honorable office in the world—-the chosen representative of a nation of twenty millions of | | freemen. Such is a brief view of the admirable workings of our government and institutions; and it would be well for the people of France and of all Europe, to heed the lesson which they can learn from our example, from now until the inauguration of our new President, in the month of March next. They will gain much that will be of value to them in their practice and experience as republicans, which they, like us, have undertaken to solve. If they copy our institutions as faithfully as they | can—if their proceedings are marked with the | same regularity and order—if the law is upheld with them, as it 16 with us—all will be well with them as it is with us, and the republic of France | nore.—The political | will be to the old world what the United States | are tothe new. ‘That it may be so, is the desire | of every friend of liberty and human rights in | America, | Benton any Van Buren—Is it a Wonper 7— Wonders never cease.

Mrsicat—Anornnn ITEMENT.—The break- ing up of the recent Opera, by the cheat perpetrated upon the public by the managers, is something which happily is now beginning to be forgotten by the public.

SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL or THE STEAMSHIP AMERICA AT BOSTON. Extraordinary Short Passage. IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE, SENTENON OF MITCHEL FOURTEEN YEARS" TRANSPORTATION. EXCITEME\T IN -RELAND. Chartist Disturbances in England. TRANQUILLITY IN FRANCE. Battle Between the Danes and the Germans, Commercial and Financial News, &e., &o., dic. Besron, Tuesday Night—11 o'clock. The steamship America, Capt. Judkins, from Liverpool, June 3d, has arrived at her berth in this port, in the remarkably short passage of ten ays and eight hours, including a detention of eight hours off and at Halifax. Her time from Halifax to this port was thirty-six hours. Iretand. On Saturday last, in Dublin, Mr. Mitchel, con- victed of treason upon the previous evening, was sentenced to fourteen years transportation, and immediately removed under an escort squadron of cavalry to a steamer of war, which was in waiting to convey him to the convict depot, at Spike Island, in the Cove of Cork. His destination is Bermuda, whither he has already sailed, to be in- carcerated on board adock-yard hulk. Intense excitement prevailed in Dublin, up to Sunday night, but has since given way to a deep and solemn silence, which denotes stern preparation and resolve. A liberal provision will be made by the nation for the convict’s family. The European Times says:—When the verdict of guilty against Mr. Mitchel was delivered, a scene of great confusion ensued in the court, but the tranquillity of the city of Dublin was not materially disturbed. On the following day, the 27th ult., Mr. Mitchel was brought up for sentence, and after some speeches, equally defiant as his previous conduct, of all authority whatsoever, he was sentenced by the court to fourteen years’ transportation. On the same day, he was conveyed, in the ordinary prison van, to a government steamer lying close to the quay. We forbear te touch here upon all the tender and affecting circumstances of the sudden parting of this unfortunate man with his wife, children and confederates. The sternness of ambition yielded before the overpowering claims of nature, and hur- tied away as he was from the theatre of his crime, few can have felt more painfully than Mitchel the deep anguish of seeing one’s native land receding amidst the growing waters. This has been a stun- ning blow to the confederate party. A great cla- mor has been raised about the packing of the jury. It has been attempted to impeach the legality of the convictioa by showing that Roman Catholic jurors were struck from the panel, and in the cases of O’Brien and Mr. Meagher, no doubt this was the fact; but it seems to have been done in direct contradictiba to the instructions of the government. By a vote ef the Repeal Association, the wife and children of Mr. Mitchel are to be adopted by the people of Ireland, and their comfort and educa- tion provided for at the public expense, out of a sub- scription to be raised for the purpose. The types of the United Jrishman newspaper were immediately seized by the government, and his property sequestrated. That paper is accord- ingly at an end, but arrangements are in progress for bringing out a new journal, of a similar ten- dency, under the sovereign style, title and dignity of the Irish Felon. The language of Mr. John O’Connell, at the Re- peal Association, when urging the members to adopt the family of Mitchel, and in expressing in- dignation against the Attorney General, was parti- cularly exciting. He called upon all Irishmen never again to speak to the Attorney General, but to spit upon him as he had spit upon the Catholics—not to expose themselves to be struck down singly, but to band themselves together as determined and united Irishmen. Mr. Mitchel arrived at Spike Island, Cork, on Sunday night, and was instantly handed over to the Governor. He will immediately assume the convict dress, and be treated in every respect like an ordinary convict. From the declaration of Sir George Grey, in the House of Commons, it appears that the go- vernment has determined on carrying out the sen- tence against him of transportation beyond the seas. Jn consequence, however, of the bad state of health under which the unfortunate man is suffering, they have relinquished the intention of sending him to Norfolk Island, but have ordered him to be conveyed to Her Majesty’s dock-yard at Bermuda and there, on board the Thames convict, hulk to un- dergo his first year’s sentence. H. M. steam sloop Scourge of six guns, Com. Wingrove, left Portsmouth on Monday morning for Cork, to take on board the unhappy Mr. Mit. chel, and other prisoners, and to proceed imme- diately to Bermuda. Chartist Movements, Some partial disturbances have taken place in London, at Bradford, Manchester, Leeds, and other places. Chartists have been the chief instigators of these tumults, which, in every case, have been almost instantly suppressed. On Monday evening a large assemblage of char- tists collected in Clerkenwell, in London, but at midnight they quietly dispersed. On Wednesday evening similar meetings took place, but the ar- Tangements of the police, aided by a demonstra- tion of the military, were so complete, that the mob, whenever it appeared, was speedily scat- tered. The special force was called out to guard the outskirts, and the same alacrity in turning out to preserve order and property was exhibited by the middle classes as on the 10th of April. At Bradford, a collision took place between the Chartists and the police, and a great riot ensued ; but the military restored order, and enabled the police to capture the principal ringleaders, many of whom have been committed for trial at Man- chester. After various meetings of confederated clubs and Chartists, a grand meeting was organised, to be held on Wednesday, comprising large bodies from the surrounding districts, but the magistrates is- sued a proclamation forbiding it. They also pre- vented the Oldham Chartists from entering Man- chester. A large body of military and police were drawn up, and the multitude was compelled to Tetreat. There can be no doubt that very deep seated misery prevails amongst immense bodies of the unemployed people. Mr. Mitchel’s conviction is the general theme of declamation by the orators who address the people on these occasions. evil surprised if the government, throwing overboard The becoming 80 great, that we should not be 1 | committee, on Louis Blanc’s case, will disclose | | killed and wounded on both sides; and at 7 o’clock adopt some extensive scheme of emtigtaton. Certainly efforts were being made te stimulate such an enterprize, but the government is quiet, passive as yet, with regard te any comprehensive nicacures cf relief. The price of bread is very low, which, doubtless, mitigates much distress, but the mercantile derangements of last year are now telling deeply upon the working elasses of England generally. France. During the past week tranquility has bean main- tained in Paris, under the vigorous administration of Gen. Carvaignac, with a large body of regular troops under his command. The attempts which have been several times made to create distur- bance have been at once suppressed. The National Assembly, surrounded by an im- mense military force, sits daily, and appears by degrees settling down to the business of practical legislation. The determination of the Assembly and the executive to’break up the system of organisation of labor, set on foot by M. Louis Blanc, has occa- sioned deep resentment among the recipients of the wages of the State. The executive first struck a blow at the directors of the ouvriers, M. Emile Thomas, who succeeded M. Louis Blanc in the administration of the atellzers nationauc. On the night of the 26th ult., M. Emile Thomas was suddenty sent for by a Minister of Public work, and superceded in his office by two civil engineers, and having been compelled to sign a resignation,, was sent off in the custody of two agents of poliee, to Bordeaux, or the neighbor- hood. The workmen demanded the reinstatement of M. Emile Thomas 1n his functions, and since that time the rappel has been beaten almost daily. Large assemblages of workmen have beendrawn. together in various parts of Paris, but being kept in check by the overwhelming force both of regu- lar troope and National Guards brought against them, all the efforts made to disturb the peace, have been abortive. The persons actually re- ceiving the wages of the State cannot be fewer than 120,000. It is intended to draft a portion of these into the provinces, and thus break up the | confederacy. The police have at length succeeded in captur- ink the redoubtable Blanqui, and also Flotte, whilst these notorious conspirators were at large it was felt thatno security existed foi public tran- quillity, the talents and indomitable audacity of Blanqui rendered him especially dangerous; but the trial of the prisoners now confined at Vincen- nes, together with the dismissal of the owvriers, | has put the power of the executive to a severe test. li, however, agood understanding prevails between the executive and the National Assembly, we have no doubt they will survive this ordeal. The relations between the executive and the As- sembly are at length settled. The members of the executive must attend the Assembly when forty members require it. Theyghave, however, a spe- cial rightto be heard, but they are exempt from general attendance. | The article relating to the measure of defence | of the Assembly, has been finally passed by speci- fying in the clause that the President of the As- sembly has a paramount right of issuing the proper commands in case of urgency and necessity. This contest has thus ended by the declaration that the Assembly shall protect itself, and not owe its pro- tection to the Executive authority. Lamartine, | perceiving the feeiing of the Assembly, acquiesced in the decision. It is stated that the Committee appointed to draw up a constitution has decided unanimously upon the expediency of having but one Chamber anda single President, both the result of direct popular elections by universal suffrage. The number of members to the Chamber is undecided, but it is said that the present will be incapable of re-elec- tion and must have at least two millions of votes. The Committee will probably conclude its labors in | about three weeks. There can be no doubt, whatever, that the com. plicity of Louis Blane in the conspiracy of 16th | May, has been established in evidence before the Minister of Justice and Attorney General. These authorities have demanded of the Chamber the liberty to prosecute him, and in spite of the al- leged opposition of the executive authority, a com- mittee has been appointed to report on the case. The Chamber has been thrown into great confu- sion by this proceeding. It appears that Louis Blanc, Barbes, and Soubrier, breakfasted together on the morning of the 15th, and together concerted their measures. The two latter are fast confined in Vincennes, while M. Louis Blanc, after several days’ absence from the assembly, has again ven- tured to show his face there. Can the conspirators of the 15th May really be brought to punishment, under such circumstances? The decision of the whether the assembly 18 sufficiently strong to ex- ercise a just vigor. Fresh disturbances have broken out at Lyons. It is stated that M. de Circourt has been appoin- ted Minister to the United States. The Paris journals of Wednesday, represent con- tinued distrust. A committee of eighteen, one for each bureau had been appointed to consider the propriety of impeaching Louis Blanc. The prosecution is look- ed upon with,disfavor. The Assembly did not sit on the Ist inst. The Sub-Committee of Finance has reeommend- ed the rejection of the ministerial scheme, with re gard to the railways. Prince Louis Napoleon, who visited Paris incog three days ago, has received orders to quit. Baron Rothchild’s model farm villa has been burned by incendiaries, in pursuance of the system, a detail of which was found in Blanqui’s papers, viz, to des- troy the bewrgeorsie by extinguishing credit through perpetual outrage and compulsion. It is supposed the frightning away of M. Rothchild will be a great blow at the financial means of the govern- ment. Intelligence from the Continent. Continental news is rather less warlike. Prussia has discovered that the occupation of Jutland could not be tolerated, and she has with- drawn her troops. A violent street riot, arising out of the disputes so frequent in that city, arose in Berlin on the 26th. The National Guard charged the people, and a good many were hurt. Order was not restored until an early hour of the next morning. A letter from Trent states that a sharp action between the regular troops of the Milanese and some Austrian regiments, assisted by irregular corps, had taken place near the Lake of Idro, in which the latter were victorious, having taken Caffaro, a strong post called Castel Lodrone, and repulsed the Italians as far as Rocca d’Anfo. The Schleswig Holstein journal, under date of May 29th, announced that a collision had taken place between the Danes and the Germans, at Sunderlirtt. The Danes landed on the main land and attacked the advanced posts of the German army under the heights of Dupeller, while a num- ber of gun boats assailed the Germans in another quarter. Large numbers were atated to have been in the evening, the Germans retreated by Graven- stein, the Danes advancing after them. About 7,000 were engaged on each side. Itis reported that the Germans lost 1000 men and 6 pieces of cannon, It is stated that a com- bined Russian, Swedish and Danish fleet was off Copenhagen, Prince Constantine being on board. An Express in anticipation of the overlahd mail, has arrived with dates from Calcutta to April guts 19th, and Bombay, May Ist. No news of interest. Intelligence. The papers relative to the dismissal of Sir Henry Bulwer have now been laid before Parliament. a . ooo | letry, edmut unegtivooully that Sir Renry Bulwei gave no provocation whatever to the Spanish go- Yernment; that there is no presentable charge or complaint against him; and that the pretence that the Narvaez cabinet only wished the ambasea- dor to quit Madrid to save him from assassination, is false and worthless, The resolution with respect to the ministerial pro- position for the modification of the navigation laws was met on Monday evening by a counter resolu, tion, proposed by Mr. Herries, upon which the sup- porters and opponents of Mr. Labouchere’s measure in the House of Commons had joined issue. The counter resolution of Mr. Herries sets forth that it is essential to the national interests of this country to maintain the fundamental principles of the ex- isting navigation laws, subject to such modifica- tions as may be best calculated to obviate any proved inconvenience to the commerce of the United Kingdom and its dependencies, without danger to our national strength. Commercial and Financial Intelligence. The improved tone exhibited in the general cha- racter of trade up to the close of last week, has been fairly maintained for the last tew days, not- withstanding the constant augmentations of conti- nental intelligence, by no means conducive to an expression of the prevailing feeling. Unmitigated derangements on the continent have greatly aggra- vated the feeling of alarm, caused by disorderly ma- nifestations at home, and a reaction, though tri- fling, has of consequence been produced. OnMon- day, and the two following days, 1) insubordinate spirit was displayed in London, some parts of Yorkshire, and the neighborhood of Manchester, by armed assemblages of chartists and repealers, who, with the avowed object of making a sympa- thetic demonstration in favor of Mr. Mitchel, whose fate is noticed in another place, and exhibi- tung a public defiance of the government, have ef- fected a considerable deal of mischief. The immediate results of these demonstrations have been an almost suspension of business in the seve- a localities. one wantot ceeecns Hie s heed factory property, the compulsory closing of three or four | ge esiablishment and oallistons with the civil power, in which the. police and special constables were beaten—the authorities, however, having resorted to strong repressive measures—the disposition to riot has, with the aid of the military, been greatly checked,-and now it is to be feare: that perfect tranquillity is far from being restored, No life was lost, but several were wounded on both sides The accounts from the manufacturing districts, though somewhat conflicting, in many respects are notin the main ee Operations for the past week have been limited, being almost wholly confined to the execution of some United States pe home orders, and a few for the German mar- et. We are in receipt by the overland mail of some demands for the India market, but not to any ani- mating extent. The manufacturing condition of the country is critical, and will continue so until the re-establishment of continental harmony. | The | interchange of traffic with the United States is at present the palladium of Great Britain. The monetary condition of the country still con- tinues buoyant. Money is plentiful, accommod: tion liberal, and discounts are moderate. The na- tional securities are firm, though, for the last day or two, inactive. They have, of course, been ma- terially affected by the varying announcements re- ceived from abroad, the vicissitudes of trade at home, and the speculative opinion entertained re- garding governmental probabilities generally. An impression is generally acknowledged that the present ministry must abandon office before the closing of the session. From the late defeats which they have sustained in both Houses of Par- liament, the growing unpopularity of the Irish po- licy, and the great inadequacy of the revenue to meet the current demands of ‘the State, the funds after much vascillation during the week, opened well yesterday morning, with a large influx of money upon the stock market. The closing quotations were 83} to 84j for transfer, and 84 to 84% for ac- count. Bank Stock is quoted 191; Exchequer Bills, 378 to 36s premium. The condition of the Bank of France is represented as improving,though epuae Business is exceedingly depressed in wre, Markets.

The prudence of insisting upon present prices was much questioned up to Thursday evening, when it was determined generally to drop d per 1b; but the demand being tolerably improved yesterday, the proposed reduetion wasabandoned. though it must be acknowledged that the rates as quoted are extreme and difficult of realization. The sales for week ending last evening amount to 30,080 bales, of which 2.700 are on speculation, and 1500 for export.

The declining tendency of the market with’n the last few days more particularly refera to Indian corn and meal. the former of which is fully 28 6d per quar- ter lower at the beginning of the week, and tho latter In a per barrel. Flour, though’ compara- tively scarce, is in exceedingly limited demand. Tho shipmente to Ireland since Tuesday. consist of 18.070 quarters of Indian corn ; 6.003 barrels of corn meal, and 514 barrels of flour. The weather continues most favorable throughout the country, and from its geni- al influence upon the growing crops promiren an abun- dant harvest. The metropolitan markets for the week partake of the deprossion felt in Liverpool, pre- senting little animation. Arrivals of home eupplies have not been beyond average. The show of ramples not been large. and operations up to last night ap- = to have been remarkable only for heaviness, ‘he statements of the serious blight of the potato crop are without foundation.
