The B: ship Bolivar, now ‘at Cowes, bei a blockade of the Weser from ‘completing Bremen, 8) pn has been made to proper au- thorities of the revenue, to P grieve the cargo,censisting of tobacco, hides, skins, and indigo, to be immediately transhipped on board a British vessel, for conveyance to the port of destination. The steamship Caledonia, from Hamburgh, has bei a! ten cases ef bar silver, iatended for Holland. but whiok, in consequence of the Dlookade at Hamburgh, have been obliged to be brought to Londen, and arrangements have been made for the Temoval of the builiou from that vessel to another, for shipment to its destivation, The vessel Justitia has arrived from Messina. with a very large cargo of oranges ‘end lemons, intended for Hamburgh, and arrange- ments have been made for the tramshipment of tl whole of them on board one of the General Steam Na- vigation Company's vessels for transmission to the port mentioned. Danish blockad Baden and Bavaria. ‘The armaments in the Palatinate are proceeding on a large scale, The revolutionary government in those provincesis now fully organized, and has issued several proclamations, summoning all able-bodied men to join them. and threatening to chastise those who should refuse doing their duty to the country, A similar summons is addressed to the soldiers, Tho insurgent forces are under the commaud of a person named Fenner von Fenneberg, who played @ conspicuous part in the Vienna riots October last year, The last news trom Mannheim that an insur- rection has broken out upon the ne of the Grand Duke's flight, and that the whole of the garrison of Mannbeim have joined the people Another mutiny bas broken out among the Badish regiments at Freiburg. The soldiers assembled and dismissed their officers. The mutinous regiments were almost immed threatened by the advance of some Wurtemberg troops under General Muller, who in- sisted upon their unconditional surrender, After some negotiations. a truce of twenty-four heurs was agrood upon, which bad not expired when the post left. The last act of the mutincers was to elect some officers from the ranks, but it was found that none dared to accept the profiered command. An insurgent deputation from the Odenwald arrived at Darmstadt on the 14th inst., making the most ex- travagapt demands Another letter from Darmstadt, of the 15th, asserts that the Grand Duke of Baden has quitted his own territories. He was in danger of being captured by # body of armed insurgents. Hanover. Tho Kolner Zéitung has a lettor from Hanover, of the bth inst., stating that that kingdom has just resolved to join the Zollverein. Austria and Hungary. Our Vienna papers and letters are of the 13th inst, ‘Wetearn from them that the last news from Pesth, which had come to Vienna, was most uncertain and contradictory. It was asserted that the Hungarians had attemptedto storm Buda. The enly thing cer- tain is, that hostilities did commence on the 6th, be- tween the gurrisons of Pesta and Buda. ‘The news from the scene of war, near Presburg, is to the effect that no change has taken place in the posi- tions of the contending armies, ‘The Emperor of Austria returned to Vienna en the evening of the 12th inst. The news from’ Prague is, that the city and its environs are tranquil under the influence of martial law. Pledment. A private letter, dated Turin, May 13, states that on that day Prince Carignan, the Commatder-in-chief of the National Guards of the kingdom, had reviewed the National Guard of Turin. A new act of treachery had Deen discovered at Venice, by the confession of one of the conspirators. It was intended to set fire to the Ar- renal, and while the troops in the fort of Malghera should be occupied in extinguishing the fire, the Aus- trians were to u:tault the fortress, General Pepe had turned his intormation to good account. A few mi- nutes before the hour fixed for the fire, he caused all ‘the traitors to be arrested. and collected a hi and straw near the arsenal, to which he set sight of the eignal agreed on, the Austri deecived, mounted to the aseault, but they were met by a.shower of bombs and ballets, which forced them to retreat, with considerable loss, The besieged, taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, made a sortie, cap- tured eight hundred Austrians, and spiked the greater number of the Austrian cannon. The Austrian General, Thurm, had arrived at Ales- sandria on the 11th, and had reviewed the garrison there. The population were tranquil. The negotia- tions for peace between Austria and the King of Sardi- nia were proceeding slowly. ‘The Milan Gazette, of the 12th publishes a proclama- tion, dated the 4th, addressed by Marshal Radetzky to the Veneti in which, er picturing to them the immense sufferings they have been subject to for up- wards of a year. und the certain risk they run of see- ing all their forts taken one by one, all their communi- cations cut off, and being therefore exposed to fall into the hands of the victor by famine, he states :— *‘ “That he has come for the last time from Milan, with the olive brauch in ene hand, in tho hopes that they will follow the dictates of reason; but, also, with the sword in the other, ready to inflict upom them the scourge of war, even to extermination, should they persist in their rebellion. He then demands:—lst. A complete and absolute surrender. 24 The surrender ofall forts. of the town. all materials of war, public treasury. &o. 8d. Of all arms, whether public or pri- vate. He offers in return—4th The permission to all persons, without exceptien, to leave the town either by ea or by lund. 5th. A general pardon to all soldiers and sub-officers of the land and sea forces. The answer of Manin, dated the 5th, states in substance that he had already, on receiving the summons of Lieutenant- Marebal Haypau, dated the 26th March, consulted tho representatives of the Venetian people, who had on the 2d of April decreed resistance to the last, and given him the charge of it; and that he can, therefore, give Marshal Radetzky no other answer but that. He add: that on the 4th of April last he (Manin) had addresse: notes to the cabinets of England and France, praying that they mediate between Austria and Venice, 60 that the latter might obtain a suitable political con- dition, and that he hopes soon to obtain communica- tions respecting the friendly interposition of thove owers, more particularly after the new instructions Ee rent to Parison the 22d. These circumstances would not exclude the pursibility of treating directly with the imperial ministry, if agreeable, He then leaves it to Marshal Radetzky to judge whether hostilitios ought tobe suspend+d or not during the negotiations for peace. To this answer of Mauin's, Radetzky abruptly replies in another proclamation, dated the 6th, that the Emperor will never permit the intervention of foreign powers between himself and his rebellious sub- jects; that consequently the kopes of the revolution- ary government on that score are in vain, and that he regrets being obliged to make Venice suffer the fate of war.” Tuscany. The letters from Leghorn, dated 10th inst., 5 P. M., state that the Austrians, te the number of 15,000 to 18.000 men. bad invested the city on all sides. Thoy bad at that moment only gained possession of the gate of 8t.

Subsequent letters, dated the 11th inst., 8 A. M., state that the bishop and the con. sular corps bad in vain endvavored to obtain a capitu- Jation fiom the Austrian commander. A postsci dated the same day, 2 P.M , adds: The Austria masters of the city’ The insurgents made but a weak defence. Courts-martial are being organized ”’ ‘The Corriere Mercantile, of Genoa, of the 12th, states that Leghorn was attacked on the 10th by the Tuscan Carabiviers, the Ausirians only forming the reserve. After some resistance, the town was taken, with a loss of about 40 killed aud 200 wounded. A rumor was cur- rent that 12 of the chiefs had been shot, but this re- uires confirmation. The rame journal mentions that e French ambusrrador, at Naples, (M. d'Harcourt.) hastened to Gaeta immediately on learning the entrance of the Neapolitans into the Koman States.

The Corn Trade of Hurope. ‘From the London Mercantile Gazette, | 18.) fotwithstanding the favorable change which has taken place in the weather, the trade in wheat has as- sumed a somewhat firmer tone at several of the princl- ae provincial markets. This we are disposed to attri- ute to the very trifling character of the supplies brought forward by the growers in all parts of the king- dom, which bas naturally led to the conclusion that the stocks in the hands of farmers must have been ro- duced intos narrow compass; the deliveries in May bo- ing usually on rather a liberal scale. The belicf that the supplies from abroad are likely to fall off, has also had more or less influence; but whether there really will be sny material decrease in the foreign arrivals, is a point not by any means certain. As yet, there are no indications of anythigg like scarcity. At present, there is a large fieet OP vessels, grain laden, off Fal- mouth, waiting for orders as to the ports whore they are to discharge; and we continue to have offers from France, Belgium, &0. There appears, likewise, to be some prospect of the difficulties between the Germans and Danes being brought to ascttlement; in which case, shipments from the Baltic to this country would be al- most sure to be immediately resumed. Under these circumstances, we are not very sanguine of any im- provement of ‘consequence occurring, and should re- gard speculative investments at present prices, low they unquestionably arc, as somewhat hazardot Unfavorable weather might certainly cause an impor! ant rise: but hitherto, nothing has occurred of a character to occasion uneasiness to be felt respect- ing the crops on the ground. The appearance of the wheat plant {s generally well spoken of, excepting on cold, ill-drained soils; and wo have heard of few complaints regarding the a:pect of the spring sown corn, The only circumstance infavor of a riso is tho presumed shortnest of home-grown grain; but whilst our ports remain open to all the world, we are not like- ly to be in want of supplies. From America, compara- tively little has hitherto come forward; and though our prices have not held out any great inducement to con- sign to the British markets, still, rather a large quan- tity of flour and wheat is, we believe, now on passage from the other side of the Atlantic to this country, to say nothing of Indian corn, Business in wheat at Mark-lane has been more firm than lively, The arri- vals coastwise haye been very small, and the quantity exhibited by land carriage samples from the neighbor- ing counties has been quite trifling: factors have, therefore, insisted on previous prices, and though the millers have acted with great caution, the: succeeded in buying cheaper. Most of tho Eng! wheat on sale on Monday, was placed at prices similar to thore current on that day sen’night. On Wednesday the Essex and Kent stands were bare, and thi there was very little fresh up, ‘The demand any means active, but meedy buyers had to rates, Though less has como to hand than wo havo lately been in tho habit of receiving, still tho sup- PY, of wheat from abroad is large, 17,650 quarters aving been reported up to last night. On Monday, some purchases wero made by distant buyors, at about the same terms as on that day week; and though the country demand has not been extensive since then, importers have refused to give way, und the article was held to.day at about previous prices. The nominal top price of town made flour has remained stationary, and other sorts have been taken to a moderate extent, at former terms; gocd brands of American have been held steadily at 248, per barrel. The recoipts of barley have been moderate; of fine English hardly any has come forward; picked parcels have, therefore. commanded full prices, notwithstanding the advanced period of the reason; foreign has moved off slowly, but was not eheaper, cither on Monday or this morning, than last week, The arrivals of oats coastwise havo been mode- rate. The sbift of the windtto the weetward has brought a cargo or two from Ireland, but including these and a few parcels from abroad, the total supply up to last evening. amounted to only 11,620 qrs. On Monday, the dealers were not much inclined to buy at former prices, and factors refusing to accept less money, the trensactions were rather circumscribed. On Wednes- day, there was a little more doing; but to-day, previous prices were paid rather reluctantly. Beans have not varied in value, and the business done in peas bas also been at about former rates. We have heard of no sales of floating cargoes of either wheat or Indian corn, the prices asked having,in most cases, been too high to hold out much inducement to purchase.

Ca ity Intelligence. Beatino 4 Cup To DeatH.—Coroner Walters held ‘an inquest yesterday at the Alms House yard, on the body of a colored boy, aged four yeara, by the name of ‘Wm. Wallace, who eame to his death by being beaten in a most cruel and bratal manner, by Wm. Manning, 4 black man. The poor child's head and body were beatem most horribly. The evidence adduced before the Cero- ner clearly fastensthe murder on Manning. The testi- mony of his wife, Rossnnah Manning, stated that they resided at No. 279 Walker street, and that her husband was one of the firemen on board of the steamer Orus, and returned from Chagres about three weeks ce. The deceased child was placed with her to board by the father, at four shillings ‘a week, who was now at sea. Thi: ning agreed to, and the child was E week before last Banning whipped the decuased vary cruelly, for some trifling thing. On the Tuesday foi- lowing, he beat the child again very severely, so much 80, that the deceased was unable to beabout. The next morning. Rosanuah found the child to be very si id administered some medicine, She then left tl use and went to work, supposing that her husband would take care of the deceased during her absence. On ker return from her work in the evening, she found the door of her room looked, and her husband nowhere to be found, the door was forced open. and the child was found lying on the bed, dead and cold, covered with bruises. The police of the 10th ward were then notified of the facts, and search was to arrest the negro Manning, but without effet; i ppesed to have gone to sea. Dr. Thomas Holmes made # post mortem examination of the body, and found that the right side of the face, forehead an the anterior part of both arms and abdomen bore marks of great violence; on the posterior part of the body, the shoulders and about the hips, were ten distinct abraded spots, as if inflicted by @ rattan or stick. on cutting through the skin, beneath the external injuries, was found an acchymosis of oxtravasated blvod, beneath, corresponding to the external injury. ‘On opening the chest, the lungs were found hepatised, otherwise healthy; about 1} ounces of sanguinious fiuid was found in each cavity ef the chest. The peri- cardum contained about an ounce of serum. The li- ver, intestines, and stomach were healthy. Tho blad- der was very much distended, with urine, and had evidently been parylized. The left kidney was very much injured—extravasated blood was found inits substance. ‘The right kidney was also injured. On removing the scalp, it was found studded with spots of extravarated blood. On opening the head, the meningeal artery was found ruptured; and about four ounces of extravasated blood was found upon the left hemisphere of the brain. The injuries to the head ware the cause of death; the other injuries that de- ceased reevived, were sufficient to cause death. Tho jury rendered the following verdict:—That the deceas- ed came to his death by sajuties inflicted by William Manning. ‘The police are on the alert to catch the brutal monster, and will, no doubt, succeed, if the ves- se) has not gone to sea, CuoLena Moxave.—The Coroner held an inquest yes- terday.at No. 78 Hammersley street, on the body of Richard Reed, a native of Ireland, aged 70 years, who camo to his death by an attack of cholera morbus. It appears, from the testimony on the inquest, that deceased was washing the windows of his son-in-la store, and became quite heated, and then went to the hydrant, and took @ heavy drink of cold water.

Ono was pulling these articles one way, and another another way, amidst a clamor of German, French, and broken-English, to which the confusion of tongues at Babel was order itself, Some wanted to bring the strangers to one boarding-house, and some to anuther; while the broad, honest, sunburnt faces of these er- man peneants scemed bewildered-with astonishment. At length the uproar and the melée became general, and one tall, athletio fellow was conspicuous for his loud yeciferations, and the blows he dealt. Ho gave one of the cartmen such a stinger in tho face that he retreated double quick into 132, menacing all the time in German. and shaking his fist, till he got to win- dow. and there he poured out volley of abusive epithets mingled with violent gesticulations upon his assailant, who seemed to take the matter very coolly, smiling significantly to sore acquaintances who were looking on, “Whe is that?” said ono spectator to another. “Oh that is French Louis, who is creating all this trouble, and is always crosting trouble.” At length the good sente of the emigrants prevailed. ‘They tol- lowed their own course without consuiting the wishes of their efficious friends.

We give, in our journal of to-day, full details of the highly interesting intelligence brought by the Niagara. These details cannot fail to be perused with great attention by all Who take any interest in the stirring and eventful drama which is now in progress in the old world. It hasof course occurred to every one, that there is something apparently perplexing and dubious in the news which we now receive from Europe. One day, the cause of the people is in the ascen- dant; and, on the next, the tyrant appears to tri- umph. This is a natural result of the circum- stances under which the warfare between liberty and oppression is at present waged in those lands. All the governments of Europe, with the excep- tion of Russia, are involved in stupenduous debt. Hence, France and England arg afraid to launch out into the expenditures necessary te carry out even their own purposes and policy, either in favor of liberty or despotism. No doubt, Great Britain, true to her old instincts, desires to side with the old despotic systems which are new engaged in the field ef conflict with the newly awakened sen- timents and power of the people, but she dare not do so, for fear of* destroying the public credit. Her debt hangs like a millstone about her neck. France is in the same predicament. Undoubtedly, the final triumph of the popular ‘Tux Catnoiic Triznmiat Coumor., anp Anotaxa Knorry Por in TusoLogy.—The seventh pro- vincial ceuncil of the hierarchy of the Cathelie Church in the United States, which recently as- sembled at Baltimore, have presented tee faithful with the result of their deliberations, in the usual form of a pastoral letter. After the accustemed | little rhetorical flourishes with which it seems all official documents, sacred and profane, must com- mence, the Bishops preceed to speak of the peou- liar circumstances in which his Holiness the Pope has been placed during the last year. They moura over his exile, and “ Some natural tears they shed,” as they advert to the ‘desperate machinations ef abandened men,” who stripped him of his tempe- ral authority ; but “ wipe them soon,” in order, with characteristic zeal, té enter into an argumeat in favor of his restoration to temporal dominion. Now, with much of this pastoral dddress we cordially, and, we hope, devoutly, sympathize. We think we can discem in it a genuine Christian spirit, mingled, of course, with a slight sprinkling of the wisdom of this world... Thus, we admire the temperance and humility of the style, and the truly charitable and affectionate spirit which ani- mates many of the passages in this letter. But we cannot agree with the hierarchy in their views as to the temporalities of the Roman pontificate, The object ef giving temporal dominion to the Pope in the early centuries of the Christian era, was to render him and his office independent of the influence of the kings and princes of the earth. Whether that object was attained, we need not stop to inquire ; but, assuredly, in the present condi- tion of society, there can be no legitimate ground on which the restoration of the Pope, as a temporal prince, can be vindicated. Nor is it af all likely that the head of the Romish Church can reassume his temporal charaeter. But we very heartily cencur in the recommendation of the Bishops, that a collection should be made, im order to afford substantial “aid and comfort” te his Holiness, in his present depressed circum- stances. ‘This isa proper and seasonable sugges- tien. We shall endeavor to carry out the benevo- lent intentions of the Bishops to the best of our ability, and transmit as large a sum as possible im aid of this meritorious movement. But we must not overlook the tremendously in- portant new theological question which beea prejected upon the Christian world by this pastoral letter:—to-wit, the freedom of the Virgin Mary, from the taint of original sin. The Bishops state the question, and utter a great many solemn, meta- physical, erudite, philosophical, and biblical sen- tences touching it, looking at it, hinting at, and magnifying it. But they provokingly abstain from any authoritative solution of it. ‘They are quite | nox-eommittal—as much so as the famous philose- pher in the ‘‘ Spectator,” who declared oracularly that ‘‘there was a great deal to be said on both sides of the question.” Now, with all filial reve- rence for the hierachy, we venture our opinion. We declare, unhesitatingly, our conviction that not only the Virgin Mary, but all intellectual, gifted, beautiful women of genius, are entirely free from original sin. We hope that this decision will meet the approbation of the chief Bishop, and that, in the meantime, the faithful will keep cool, Really, really, we are pained by this exhibition cause must be preceded by a tota and overwhelm- |-of weukness on the part of the Bishops of the ing revolution in the financial system of Euro- pean nations and kingdoms. Paper meney, banks, bankers, financiers, and public credit, will all be involved in acommonruin. Till then, the exist- ing financial condition of affairs operates as a check and hindrance, alike to the people and their oppres- sors. All this, however, gives exciting interest to the movements in, Europe, and occasions intense anxiety here, on every arrival, to learn the intelli- gence, which 18 constantly presenting new and unlooked-for features. Geverat Tartor’s Dirtomatic APPpoInTMENTs. —It seems that a batch of these appointments for foreign missions of the various grades, and alse for consulates, was made on the first instant, by the cabinet at Washington. Some of these appoint ments are good, some bad, and some indifferent. Mr. Rives, of Virginia, is sent te France, in the place of Mr. Rush. Mr. Rives is probably supe- rior to Mr. Rush in point of diplomatic talent. He 1s something of a statesman, but estimates his own abilities at a valuation considerably beyond that at which they are rated by any other person. Ex-Governor Graham, of North Carolina, has been sent to Spain, and not the redoubtable Colo- nel, of this hemisphere. It certainly was necessary to send to Spain a man of consideration and pra- dence, and not a Hotspur, or inferior spirit, who hardly knows his own mind one week after the other, on politics, finance, religion, or anything -else. Our relations with Spain are very impor- tant; and, according to the appearance of things in Europe and this country, in regard to Cuba, they will become extremely difficult and interesting. ‘The son of Governor Crittenden, of Kentucky, has got the sop of Consul to Liverpool—one of the fat- test berths in the gift of the government; and Lo- renzo Draper, formerly Consul at Paris, has ob- tained the better office of Consul at Havre. Ab- bott Lawrence, of Massachusetts, is sent to Eng- land, and Mr. Bancroft recalled. This is an ex- change of money for brains. Mr. Lawrence is a very worthy man, a superior manufacturer, a good man of business; but he is utterly unequal to the position of minister te England, in view of the new and most important relations springing up be- tween the two countries. Mr. Bancroft is fur su- perior to Mr. Lawrence; and if a change was un- avoidable, we think that Mr. Webster should have been the man, as he really has some mind, and is not altogether made up of breeches. One of the most curious things in these diplo- matic appointments, 1s, the fate of our amicable contemporary in Wall street-—Mr. Webb. What 1s to become of him? In losing the Spanish mis- sion, does he fall back on that to Berlin? Is Mr. Hannegan to be recalled in a few weeks, and Mr. Webb to take his place? or, will ‘the Colonel” be sent to St. Petersburgh, if nothing else can be spared? We really think that Mr. Webb should To give a man of his imprudence-and want of steadiness, a high diplomatic mission, would be a weak and ir- resolute thing on the part of the cabinet, and prove very foolish for the administration. Mr. Webb asked to be made a srigadier general in the Mexi- can war, and that might have been a very natural and appropriate appointment, if Mr. Polk had given itto him. But he is altogether deficient in those high qualities of prudence, discernment, ta- lent, and stability, necessary to the successful dis- charge of the duties of a high diplomatic office in the present critical condition of European affairs. We would advise General Taylor and his cabinet to reflect seriously before they venture on such a piece of indiscretion. Late prow Maraaurz, P. R.—Capt. Taylor, of the bark Panchita, from Mayaguez, P. R., 16th ult., arrived yesterday, states that the crop on the island would fall short full one-third of an average, owing to the great drought of the spring season. When he left, there were not more than two or three cargoes to be procured for this year in the vicinity of Mayaguez, and in ether ports of the island scarcely any at all. For the last twelve or fifteen ‘daysjpefore he left, it had rained consider- ably, which had been the means of detaining vessels waiting cargoes, owing to the very bad state of the roads in the country, so bad that no carting could bedone. A lot of prime sugar was sold the day he left, at $3 76, this being about all in the market. Arrival or tux Sreamente Cuzroxer.—The steamship Cherokee, Captain Lyon, arrived at an early hour this morning, from Sa ah, after a run of about sixty hours, bringing us papers ahoad ot the mail, as usual, for which we are obliged to Captain Lyon. & Catholic Church inthis country. Surely, it is time to drop forever these theological riddles, aad trivialities, and petty differences of opinion, in hair-splitting polemical controversy. The eccle- siastical order in all the churches, are too prone te this solemn trifling, which affords so much scope for the sneers and scoffings of the unbelieving and the thoughtless. Ignorance and error, and anti- Christian feelings and practices, are to be encoua- tered onall hands. Let the elergy of all denomi nations direct all their energies, and talents, and powers, ‘against these enemies of truth and the happiness of mankind, leaving the discussion of theological conundrums to the boys and thre blue- stockings. Cholera in the United States. IN NEW YORK. Junn 2.—The Sanitary Committee report to-day 18 new cases of cholera since their report yesterday—6 im private practice; 7 in the Hospital. Deaths, 7. Tho official report of the Sanitary Committee, posted yesterday in the Mayor's office, shows an increase of cases of cholora,and of deaths by that disease, over previous days. We have no doubt, too, that there are, at least as many which have not been reported. Stilt, we do not see any great eause for alarm, whether the type be “sporadic” or malignant, tain, that it is incomparably milder in its character than it was in 1832 ; and, judging from the natxral his- tory of epidemics, which are found to increase gradually for three weeks or @ month, and then to gradually de- cline, we may oalculate that cholera in this city has culminated, or is on the point of culmination. How dif- ferent was the mortality in 1832! disease made its appearance in the first week of Jul when, on the first day,four deaths occurred out of seven cases. On the Zlut of July, there wore 311 cases, and J04deaths. From that time, it grad subsided. The following table shows the number of deaths im cach week, from July to Novembe duly 7. . . 3,olL Whon it is recollected that the population is now double what it was then, the number of deaths for the last three weeks must be considered very small indeed. Inthe first three weeks of the disease in 1834, the mum- ber of deaths was 1612; in the first three weoks of the disease in the present year the number has been 21. In each week they areas follows:— For the wee ending May 19..... For the week ending May 26..... For tho week ending May 81... 0... 5.. To this, add 7 that occurred yesterday, ani only a total of 34 from the beginning.
