We give, to-day, a full synopsis of the news | brought by the Hermann and Europa, comprising | seven days later intelligence from all parts of Eu rope. This intelligence presents many features of commanding interest. All the minor questions and movements, such as the socialist movement in France, sink into insig- nificance, compared with the great events which are now passing before us on the European conti- nent. Insurrections, revolts, émeutes, election squabbles, must give way to the grand develope- ments which are now exhibiting themselves in all their imposing grandeur. The final, decisive strug- gle between liberty and despotism, between the old order of things and the new-born power of the peo- ple, is rapidly approaching to a close. For more than thirty years, the combined efforts of the ancient dynasties of Europe have been en- deayoring to avert this final contlict with repub- licanism ; but, at length, that day has dawned upon. the European world, which Napoleon predicted when he declared that, before fifty years, Europe should be republican or Cossack. espotism, when it crushed Napoleon and restored the Bour- bons, devoutly believed that the liberties of the people had perished for ever. But the everlasting principle was not thus to be destroyed; and from that very day, so dark and so lowering, we may date the new growth which now laughs at banded armies, overturns thrones and dynasties, converts Europe into one vast camp, dictates terms to the tyrant, and drives forth kings and princes‘as wan- SIX DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA AT HALIFAX, SPECIAL OVERLAND EXPRESS To St. John. New Brunswick, AND THENCE TELEGRAPHICALLY T THE HERALD: Political Afairs.on the Continent.“ EXCITING DEBATES IN THE FRENCH CHAM: BER OF DEPUTIES, State of the Markets. dic., Bin, dice The steamer Europa, Captain Lott, with one week’s later intelligence from all parts of Europe, | arrived at Halfax on Tuesday, shortly after 12 o’clock, M., having left Liverpool on the 26th of May. The express for the associated press made the run to Granville Point in less than mine hours; bu the progress of the steamer across the bay was so exceedingly slow that it was found impossible to forward the news in season for morning papers of ‘Wednesday. The Europa brings’ 53 passengers, but no specie. | She will be due at her wharf at Boston between twelve and two o’clock Thursday morning. The commercial news by this arrival is not of a very cheering character; but the political intelli- gence willbe read with more than ordinary in- | terest. The Cambria arrived off Liverpool on the 21st. THE NEWS. Liverroot, May 26, 1849. The same feeling of dulness that has pervaded commerce for several weeks past, continues to exist, and the probability of a change for the better seems even further removed than ever. The Lon- don money market remains easy, and English funds continue to be well sustained. Consols were done on Monday at 91; and closed, on Friday evening, at 91}. The returns from the Bank of England, as compared with previous returns, exhibit a slight increase of bullion. There is considerable busi- ness doing in London, in American stocks. United States six per cents, as well as the better class of State securities, arescarce. Pennsylvania is quoted at 79 to 81; New York fives, 96. There has been no further discussion of Cana- dian affairs in Parlhament, and it 1s doubtful if any will take place, as the impression seems generally to prevail that, having a free constitutional Par- liament, the Canadians are quite capable ef settling their own affairs. There does not appear to be any reason to doubt but that the English government will sustain every act of Lord Elgin’s admunistra- tion. In the House of Lords, on Monday, Lord Stanley made an elaborate speech in opposition to the bill derers and vagubonds upon the face of the earth. Meanwhile, despotism, with instinctive appre- hension of the future, girds itself for the contest. Russia unveils her designs upon the liberties of Europe. The intelligent reader will not fail to mark the significance of the details which we give of the movements of that colossal power. What is Great Britain todo? When is she to show her hand, and how? Will she take part with the despot, or will she maintain neutrality and allow the question to be decided on its merits, by the peeple of the continent themselves? These are questions to which the United States cannot be indifferent. We cannot remain indifferent spectators of this mighty drama. We have something to whisper in the ear of England, to which she must give heed. Our policy must be the policy of England. Her arm must not be raised aginst the liberty of the European people, now struggling for constitutiona! freedom ; and we must let England know it. We rejoice at the progress of this great struggle. We behold in it the evidences of the strength and sincerity of the great popular mass, throughout Europe. Everywhere the revolutionany spirt is at work, vigorous, practical, unquenchable. The vast debts of the European nations are the only links which maintain the connection between an- cient despotism and the financial and middle classes. These links cannot much longer sustain the’pressure. They will be, by and by, dissolved, and then from the ruins of a corrupt, false, oppres- sive system, will speedily arise the fuir fabric of just and equal government. A month ora week may now produce the most astounding results in the world beyond the ocean. Tur Triat or Watxer.—This tnal, which has been proceeding for nine days in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, is at length approach- ing a close. The summing up on the part of counsel commences this forenoon at ten o’clock. Of course a great deal of interest has been ex- eited during the progress of this trial. The grave nature of the crime charged upon the prisoner—the character and position of the parties to the sad affasr—the array of counsel on both sides, and certain peculiarities in the management ofthe trial, have conspired to give to these pro- ceedings a rather unusual degree of interest. One of the most prominent, and at the same time, we are constrained to add, one of the most dis- graceful features of this trial, has been the exhibi- tion of personal feeling, reul or affected, genuine or theatrical, between the opposing counsel. It has been really melancholy to witness the inde- cent vehemence with which the counsel have con- ducted the case on both sides. A solemn tribunal for the repeal of the navigation laws. Several amendments were offered, which were rejected by decisive majorities, On the final vote in commit- tee, the ministry increased their late majority of ten to thirteen. Pohtical affairs on the Continent exhibit no im- provement. Indeed, the danger and probability,of a general European war, appears to be more immi- nent now than at any previous time during the past year. THE ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE QUEEN VICTORIA. Another pistol has been fired at Queen Victoria; but fortunately without any injurious conse- quences. The criminal, in the present instance, is astupid Irishman, who, as the pistol contained only powder, seems to have had no other object in view than to obtain notoriety. The French Republic. The recent elections in France have resulted in favor of the socialists and red republicans, to a tar greater extent than was anticipated They will muster about 240 strong, against about twice this number, who, though composed of parties and sec- tions of parties entertaining opinions the very op- posite of each other, are considered friends of order. The effect of this result of the elections upon the banke and public funds is unfavorable. From the highest to the lowest point, the public stocké fell thirteen per cent. At the latest dates they had slightly recovered ; and Five per Cents, on the 24th, were queted at Sf. 50c., and Three per Cents at 52f. Nothing has been arranged in regard to the change of ministry ; but it was supposed that im- mediately after the new Assembly ceme together, Marshal Bugeaud would be called upon to form new cabinet. It is as yet uncertain who will fill the subordinate posts, but it is probable that M. Leon Faucher will be Minister of Finance, and that M. Falloux will remain in his present post. In the recent election the name of M, Ledru Rollin stands second on the poll—that of Murat being before his, from accidental circumstances. The most furious socialists are elected, whilst La- martine, Marast, Arago, Dupont de |’Eure, Marie, Fould, and all others of the party of the National, which caused the revolution of February, are thrown out. The contest for power now lies be- tween the red republicans and the men of the seve- ral parties—the Legitimists, the Orleanists, and the Bonapartists. The moderate republicans have no local standing in France. The Corsaire pledges itselt for the truth of a re- port of the speech made by one of the socialist members for Paris, m which he said that the bourgeoisie had fattened like hogs on the meat of the people, and should, like hogs, be killed to make bacon of for those on whom they fed. After this we may credit the expression attributed to an ex-king, “we are marching to cannibalism.” A grand review of the garrisons ¢f Paris took of justice has been converted into a bear-garden, | for the display ot professional rivalries, and all | those petty, paltry tricks to which lawyers and | lawyerlings of all grades are so prone to resort on | the gravest occasions, with characteristic bad | taste, just as undertakers sometimes rudely jest | over the cold remains of departed worth and greatness. We have no patience with this criminal trifling with the better feelings of an intelligent communi- ty—this impudent disregard of the proprieties of | Our courts of justice. Here is aman on trial for | the murder of a woman. Can there be imagined a more solemn tcene—a scene more calculated to excite emotions of disturbing pathos and sadness? Yet, by the indecent conduct of lawyers, who ap- pear to be dead to all feelings of propriety, the court in which the trial is proceeding is converted into a mere theutre for the display of the small wit of smaller natures, and the ill temper of rival law- yers. We shall have mere to say on this subject hereafter, and in the meantime only add that we shall complete our full record of the proceedings en this trial by a verbatim report of the Judge’s charge. Later From Bexmuna.—By the arrival, yeater- day, of the brig Lady of the Lake, Captain Hill, from Bermuda, we are in receipt of files of the Bermuda papers to the 28th ult., for which Captain Hill bas our thanks.

EXCITING DEBATES IN THE FRENCH CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.§ In the French Assembly, the affairs of Rome and Hungary being under consideration, a debate arose, Which 1s described as the most exciting and violent that has ever been witnessed. Propositions for an immediate declaration of war against Russia and Austria were urged by several speakers, which | were subsequently moditied by the adoption of a resolution proposed by General Cavaignac, recom- mending government to adopt energetic measures to protect the internal and external interests of the republic. ‘This resolution, though violently op- pored by the ministry, was carried by a vote of 436 | to 184 In the Ascembly, on the 18th, an order was paseed to abolish the duty on potable liquors, which will prove u loss to the revenue of about 103,000,000 of francs. On the 224, the affairs of Italy being under con- sideration, M. Sarrans said, that, with regard to the Rursian intervention, every one knew the am- bition of the Cabinet of St. Petesburgh, as well as the spit which guides it. his iitervention was a blow to uropean princizles, aud chietly to those that at present regulate France. It was gaificient, im order to know the Czar’s intentions, to read his muanitesto, which was a declaration of wer all demoeratic interests. If to that document were joined the declaration of the King ef Prussia, no doubt could any longer be entered respecting a combinetion of all aria. icerecies against democracy. It was impossible that the irruption from Russia of 170,000 men, should be solely for the purpose of subduing Hun- . Besides this number, there was a reserve of 0°00 men, making 4 total of men who had been toarms. The regulation of Hun- gary wasa mere pretext. A coalition of Kings was again being formed, and he now wanted to know what would be the policy of the Freach Government. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, in reply, said, that, with regard to Italian affairs, the seably had manifested its will, and ‘on the morrow of its having done go, anagent had been sent to Italy, bearing a detailed account of the deliberations and orders to execute the wishes of the Assembly. He would not return to a discussion which had then been closed. With regard to Hungary, something had already been said at the tribune; he had al- ready said that what took place in Hungary had excited the solicitude of government, who had written about it to St. Petersburgh, London, Vienna, and Berlias-Ithad been said that the time “for negotiation had pened 3 butas for them (mean- ing the government), they cor to negotiate. MM. atenaten followed the ee. saying that Frence had evidently joined thecoatition of kings, M. Joly said that he preferrea war to the humi- liation of Prone! and, w.th’ a'view to test the sense of the Assembly upon the Subject under con- sideration, he proposed the. following order ef the day :— “The National Assembly considers the manifesto of the Emperor of Russia, and the treaties passing be- tween him and the kings of Prussia and Austria, as 9 blow to the pripctnlen et the French constitution and the rights of nations, and contrary to the resolutions of the National Aseembly,”’ &c. © After a speech from M. Maquin, Gen. Cavaig- nac ascended the tribune, and moved an order du jour motivé: “The National Assembly ealls the serious attention of the government to the’ events and movements of troops taking place in Burope, and seeing. in the state ofaffa . dangers for liberty and the republic, recom- mends the government to take the most energotic mea- sures neceseary for their protection.” ‘ _ General Cavaignac said he thought this resolu- tion would have the effect of engaging the repub- licina Ca lies which it could not accept yet, of showing that the Assembly felt what a serious matter to it were the events now occurring in Europe. , is E M. Joly objected to Gen, Cavaignac’s motion as not sufficiently strong, and declared his determi- nation to adhere to his own. Odillon Barrot said it was necessary to, re- or on a decision which would be a manifesto of war, M. Ledru Rollin followed, and urged the more stringent resolution of M. Joly. fe considered the manifesto of the Emperor of Russia asa de- claration of war against the French republic. ‘When a question was placed on such grounds, the only answer to it was a counter-manifesto— to say France would defend herself. It was the duty of the Assembly to pronounce itself im answer to the Emperor of Russia. Then turning to the party of the right, M. Ledru Rollin concluded by seying—I know well that you would wish not to reply, encouraging a deci- sion you donot assume; on yourselves rests a ter- rible’ responsibility. tt you wish to prevent civil war, energetically and Promptly answer this defi- ance.” Ceporobation on the left). ji M. Odillon Barrot again ascended the tribune to answer the democratic leader, aud, after a speech of considerable length, concluded’ by calling for the simple order of the day. > M. Cremieux followed, and spoke in the midst of an uproar scarcely surpassed in the annals of the Assembly. ‘At the termination of his speech, the voting commenced upon the proposal to pass to the simple order of the day; at 7 o’clock the de- cision closed, when the numbers were: For the simple order of the da; 53 Against it. + 459 Mi or + 406 On the 22d hi 488101 reign n m f Intervention was resumed, a> the conclusion of which a vote of the Assembly for General Cavai- gnac’s proposition was taken, and resulted in the adoption of the order du jour motivé. ‘After some uninteresting local business, M. Flo- con asked for the taking into instant consideration the proposal for liberating the transported convicts subsequent to the 7th of May, 1848. This request was refused. A M. Cremieux called the attention of the Assem- bly to an article published in the Démocrattc Pact- Sique, (by M. Considerant,) in which he said a plot ‘was in preparation, by certain members of the gov- ernment and seme political men, to destroy the Republic at acertain day, and called that honor- able gentleman to give some explanation on the subject. M. Considerant replied that the detail had been communicated to him by a person.on whom he could rely, and he had considered it his duty to mention the subject to the President of the Coun- cil, and had by that means defeated the plot. A remark of M. Considerant aroused the anger of M. Pierre Bonaparte, who gave him the lie n the most unceremonious manner. The subject led to a warm debate, in which General Bedeau de- fended the conduct of the army, saying it would always be found ready to support the laws and constitution. The Roman Republic. In the Roman States there has been no material change since the date of previous advices. Nei- ther the French nor the Neapolitans have as yet entered Rome, and the republican government maintains its ground at every point, against the combined forces of France, Naples and Spain. We have news from Rome to the 15th. On the 18th, the French having attempted the passage of the Tiber at the Melnau bridge, it was blown up to prevent them, leaving the French forces on the two banks of the Tiber, between Palo and Rome. Atthe latest advices the van guard of the French was four miles from the city ; that of the Neapoli- tans was twelve miles, and there was a small body of Spaniards at Furmicino. The War in Hungary. The Hungarians, in their unequal contest with Austria and Russia, exhibit no want of courage, and are evidently preparing for a desperate struggle. It is reported that they have gained some advan- tages over the Austrians and Russians; but we are without positive intelligence from the seat of war. Russian Movements. The Emperor of Russia has recognized the French republic, and has simultaneously issued a manifesto, announcing his determination to inter- fere in the Austrian and Hungarian quarrel, in which he speaks of the mission of his God-pre- served nation, and in the name of the Almighty Leader of battles and Lord of victo- | ties, commands his armies to move forward forthe | suppression of rebellion, and the destruction of audacious and evil intentioned men. The Emperor of Austria has gone to meet the | Czar of Russia at Warsaw. Germany. Insurrection (or the probability of it,) and com- motions exist every where throughout the German empire. The War in Schleswig Holstein. The war between the Danes and Prussians con- | tinues without any decisive result or prospect of an early issue. s Prussia. 7 The King of Prussia has issued a manifesto to his subjects, in which, after condemning the stand- ard of revolt which has been raised by the ene- mies of Germany, he will shortly submit a consti- tution, sanctioned by the other governmen's, which | shall have unity for its basis, and will guarantee to Germany its liberty and a free representation of the people, In conclusion, the King says, ‘if my | people will stand by me, as I will stand by my peo- Pes faithfully and with confidence, with God’s H ot glorious victory will not be wanting to | us.” Simultaneously with the proclamation ofthe | King to his people, public notices were published, | announcing that the state of seige at Berhin was | prolonged with increased vigor, suspending for | the time being the ordinary courts and estab- | lishing martial law in all its force. Another notice suspended the publication of the ultra democratie journal, the National. It is said these measures | were caused by the discovery of a conspiracy for an outbreak at Berlin. [t 18 asserted that the ne- | gotiations for another German constitution are al- ; Most terminated, and that ita proclamation may be speedily expected. It is said that its provisions will mainlv resemble those of the Frankfort constitu- tion, but that the King of Prussia will only take the title of Protector, instead of that of Emperor, and will possess an sbsolute, instead of a suspensive, constitution. Austria would form no part of the German empire, but would be entirely severed yb it, though connected by a close defensive al- lance, : India and China. Advices have been received from Caleutta to the 5th, and Bombay to the 17th of April, from whieh we learn that the war of the Punjaub is entirely over, and that the last phantom of Sikh sovereignty has signed away his title, by which act thia vust extent of country (some one hundred thousand miles square) has become part and par- cel of the British empire. - Intelligence from Hong Keng is received to April 1. Greut excitement prevailed at Canton as the time approached for opening the gates to fo- reigners, and the merchants were afraid of the po- pular fury which that event seemed likely to ocea- sion. They, therefore, from prudeatial motives, stopped the trade in cotton yarn, woollens, and all piece goods, until the act shall have been con- summated. Considerable quantities of gold bad arrived trom Culifornia, and several vessels at Hong Ki were being fitted out, laden with goods for Francisco. Commercial In Le La m par 26.—Cotton—For a day or two after the gail the Niagara, there was a . demand for the trade and exports, and for Ameri- can descriptions very full prices were Siace the receipt of the Cambria’s advices, stocks have begun to accumulate, and as the market is now al- most glutted with fresh imports, which are offered more freely, prices, if anything, are slightly de- pressed, particularly in low and middling qualities, in which a reduction of jd. hasbeen submitted to in most ef the business inthe last tew days. But, for first qualities, the former quotations of 4jd. for Upland and Mobile, and 43d. for New Orleans, are continued, these and the good qualities. being less plentiful. The transactions of the week ending yes- terday, were 40,320, of whieh speculators took 4,470, and exporters 5,060. ‘The import of the week. is very , being not less than 125,729 bales, of which 113,463 were American. At present thu estimated stock of cotton in Liverpool is put dowa at the large amount of 715,710 bales, of which 541,930 ‘are American. Last year, at the same time, it was 475,870, of; which 320,480 were American. The market for Vreadstuffs, both here and in London, have been quiet, but, on the whole, steady, during the past week. The demand for Indian corn has improved, and at some further advance, the currency being from 33s. for white, up to 368. per quarter for fine yellow. The latter 18 now generally held at 6d. per quarter higher. The demand tor flour is moderate, but steady, at 233. to 288. 6d. for Western canal, Philadelphia and Balti- more, White fine Ohio has been sold at 25s. per bbl. The selling price for American wheat is 7s. 2d. for white, and 6s. to 6s. 4d. for red. Blackeyed peas are disposed of at 25s. to 30s. per quarter. hite, beans are also held at the same figure. Holders of American are asking 3s. 6d. to 43. for 60 pounds.— The weather is all that the agriculturist can wish, and the young crops of wheat and spring corn are of the most promising character, The market for lard has been steady through the week, the sales amounting to 150 tons, at prices ashade over previous rates. Baconghas expe- rienced a very dragging sale, and may be quoted 1s, gals. 6d. per, cwt, lower, SneThe 8 being, very trifling at this reduction. The stock here, in importers’ hands, is accumulating. Hams have been in rather betterdemand. The present low rates producing a demand from other quarters, with donalaeratle arrivals of shoulders, the price has given way 26 to 30s. per cwt.; even at this re- duction, a very limited business has taken place. A parcel ot grease butter, from New York, ot a fair quality, was sold at auction, yesterday, at 81s. per ewt, For fine cheese, which is scarce, we have a fair inquiry, while ordinary is neglected. A mo- derate business in beef has been done at late rates. Eastern prime mess pork has been taken pretty freely at bes. a 67s. Gd. per bbl. for prime, but West- ern is really unsaleable. Rice.—200 tes. Carolina brought 170 to 180, being rather dearer. Naval stores are in quietdemand. The sales of tur- pentine are 300 bbls. at 6s. 6d. a 6s. 10d. per bbl. In the course of the week, 809 bbls. of American com- mon rosin were disposed of at 2s. 6d. a 2s. 10d. per ewt., but the last sale was at 2s. 6d. The metal market is without improvement, and prices are still tending downward. Freiauts at Liverroot..—During the past week large quantities of iron, pemcinally rails, have been in the market, for New York particularly; and the rates of freight have been supported, notwithstand- ing considerable arrivals of shipping. Passengers are still quite abundant, but rates are lower. The Latest Ship News. Angien, March 12—Arr Siren, Boston; brig Chenamus, fm Boston to Smyrna. Amsrervam, May 1—Arr Espero, N York.

Sporting Intelligence Reocatta—New Younvacnt Cius —The second day's racing came off yesterday. The competitors for prize started at the same hour ss on the day before, namely, at 10 o'clock. The day was equally fine as on the preceding day, but the wind was too light for much sport; still the entertainment afforded an agreeable day’s amusement, tending to exhilarate theflepirits, brace the nerves, and improve digestion, in these cho- lera times, As on the day before, Mischief (or, as she is sometimes called, Hornet,) beat them all, though not being entered, she could not, of course, win the prize, The real antagonists came in in the following order :— riety (the Boston yacht,) Siren........ eee 3 Maria would have won the race ben but that, in the lull of the wind, a breeze suddenly sprung up, which the Camelia caught and came up with the Maria, while the latter had scarcely a breath. It appears that the Ultra committed some mistake on the day before, which induced the judges, in consideration, to give the prize to the Brooklyn City Intelligence. ‘Tux Case or Fatse Partences.—The examination in relation to this matter is postponed until this afternoon at 3 o'clock It is ascertained that a large number of merchants in this city have been most outrageously swindled by the prisoners. ‘Tue Suootine Casr.— Mr. Edward Dougherty, one of the street contractors of the city, residing in’ South Brooklyn, near the old Bergen property, was brought before Justice Smith, on the complaint of one Boylen, who charges him with having, on the 5th Inst.. know. ingly and deliberately pointed s gun ut the child of Boy- len, aged about seven years, and inflicting several gun thot wounds in various parts of the boy’s body. Mr. Dougherty alleges that the act was altogether uninte tional. as he was at the time firing at » goat which wi upon his premises, and had annoyed him for a consl- derable period of time, He was not aware, bo says, of the proximity of the boy until he saw him jump uj from the ground, and utter a cry of pain. The d dant was taken before Judge Greenwood, whoadmi him to bail in the sum of $2.000 to answer for his ap- pearance at the Court of Oyer and Terminer. Avotnrn Justice Sick.—Justice John C. Smith was taken suddenly ill yesterday morning, with griping ins in his bowels, and was compelled to desist from usiness for #01 ime.

Reported Cholera in Washington. Wasuinctox, June 6, 1849.

Montneat, June 6, 1849, The greatest excitement prevailed throughout the city yeaterday in regard to tho tone of the English pa- pers relative to Canadian affairs, With the issuo of the city papers of this morning, containing full de- tails, the excitement has increased. The party in fa- vor of annexation to the United States calls more loudly than ever for the consummation of that object, ‘and the greatest indignation and disgust prevails amongst the ultra loyalists. * Appearances in the lower provinces seom to justify the supposition that no appeal to arms will be made just yet.

The Point Coupee Tribune, of the 28d ult., states that the weather was most unfavorable, and that the planters of that vicinity had almost given up hopes of raising a cotton crop this season.

Tho suger crop had also suffered to a great extent from the same cause; a few days of fine weather would enable the planters te place it beyond danger, but there scoms no prospect of any at present. A number of cases of cholera had occurred at Point Coupee, many of which had proved fatal. It had pretty much entirely disappeared from St. Mary’s Parish, In the Bordeaux Parish, the cholera of late had been particularly fatal to theslave population.
