ARRIVAL or THE STEAMSHIP NIAGARA, BY SPECIAL EXPRESS, FROM Halifax, N.8., to St. John, N. B., THENCE TELEGRAPHICALLY 10 THE N.Y. HERALD. Political Affairs in Great Britain. ‘THE WORKING OF THR FRENCH REPUBLIC. Speech of General Cavaignac. The Roman Republic----Bom! Capital by the French. Commercial and Financial Affairs, &e. de. &e. Sr. Joun, N.B., July 13—1 A.M. The steamship Niagara, Capt. Ryrie, with 89 passengers, and intelligence one week later from all parts of Europe, arrived at Halifax at an early hour yesterday morning, and was expected to leave for New York at nine o’clock. She will be due at her wharf at a late hour on Saturday, P. M. ‘The Niagara experienced a succession of heavy gales from the west and south-west, during the whole passage. Her freight list shows £8,000 in ‘specie. The Niagara, as we learn from one of the officers, exchanged signals with a large steamer, supposed to be the Europa, off Holyhead, at midnight, on the 30th ult. Edwin Augustus Rayner, of the firm ot Olney, Cotterill & Co., of New York, died at Liverpool, on the 23d of June, of cholera. The cities of Liverpool and Havre are to be con- nected by a line of first class steamers, under the direction of Mr. Mclver, the agent of the Cunard steamers.” Parllamentary Proceedings, In Parliament, the bill for the removal of Jewish disabilities has been rejected in the upper house, by a majority of 25, the Minister not ventu- ring to call for the proxies. Baron Rothschild having been rejected for the city of London, has already accepted the Chiltren Hundreds, and made an appeal to the electors. His election 18 considered certain.

The affirmation bill, which has recently com- pleted its passage through the Commons, has been rejected in the House of Lords, by a large ma- The Smith O’Bnen transportation bill is now an act of Parliament, but it is said to contain a fatal blunder, and it is supposed the approaching visit of Her Majesty to Ireland will be signalized by ex- tending her royal pordon to the Insh State pri- soners. The French Republio, Advices from Paris to Tuesday evening, state that the city was perfectly tranquil, and business on the Bourse was steady, and prices have an up ward tendency. Five per Cents closed at 80 francs 25 centimes. The number of persons arrested is said to amount to over two hundred. ‘The French Procureur General has prepared an- other requisition against seven members of the mountain, implicated in the affair of the 13th ult. The greater part represent the department of the lower Rhine. The new law ag in force. On Monday, the ministry introduced into the As- sembly a bill for regulating the press. M. Odillon Barrot stated that it was intended merely 2s a tem- porary measure, to regulate the position of the prees, until the organic law dn the subject should be passed. The new law is nearly the same as the law of Louis Philippe, and powers are given for the temporary suppression of every journal at- tacking the constitution, or making an appeal to arms. The bickerings which have been carried on between the President and the Ministry, are repid- ly approaching an issue, which, it is supposed, will lead to the certain retirement of some of the leading members of the cabinet. The prin- cipal cause of discord is the anomalous fratricidal policy in Italy. In the course of the debate in the Assembly, on foreign affaire, the minister declared that there was no danger of war. M. de Tocqueville said, that after having more carefully considered the subject, he had been unable to discover the slightest trace of that new hobby, called “alliance,” of which henorable members had expressed such jealousy. In the course of his speech, M. de Tocqueville talked of the “frankness of the Russian govern- ment,” on expression that was received with shouts of derision and laughter. POSITION OF GEN. CAVAIGNAG. During the debate, Gen. Cavaignac made a most important epeech, which may be considered as the resumé of the principle of that section of the re- publican party, which, while it desires peace, is prepared for war ; which, while it supports order, insists on progress. Gen. Cavaignac said :—‘* I full, cgree with the honorable gentleman who has said that a great country like France should not remain in a state of insulation. It was necessary that we should get out of that position. It was es- sential that we ehould form an alliance with seme government; but the question was, what govern- ment should we select?! To whom dress ourselvest—to Russiat—to Austria? Those two powers were engaged in stroggle We then made overtures to a great power—to Eengland—and in doinn +0, | think we acted in conformity with the wishes of the Constituent Assembly. It has been caid that the English government only ae- cepted our alliance in order to be able the better to watch vs, Certainly, England would not be- come our ally, had it not been her interest so to do; but that interest is reciprocal, and if England has on interest in watching France, France has an equal one in watching her—that reciprocal sur- veillence is the basis of all alliances between go- | In reply to our appheation, England accepted our offers of alliance, end she did s0,doubt- lese, from a wish to preserve peace, 1 think that the explanation I have given will be a sufficient reply to the reproach made against us of giving tive to # new coalition.” (Hear, heat.) The lant general then stated he hed his pert in the ri sponsib:lities attached to the order of the day, voted a month since by the Constituent Assembly, vernmet and explained, that in his opinion, the danger was i re in the reconstruction of the Northern powers, and in the enniliilation of French influence. 18 against that twofold eventuality,” continued the honorable gentleman, “that | wish to gaurd the government. 1 did pot wish for war; Tam a partizen cf peace, of honorable peace; and if itis bardment of its in Lyons, implicated in the late attempted insurrection, | st clubs, has been already put | because I am convineed that even if all the States of Europe were in insurrection against this goreramient, they would rather have returned to their former allegiance than submit tous.

In 1792, in “1830, and in 1843, various nations Were in a state et agitation. Why not leave that movement to develope itself? Believe me, there is in the future # more honest and solid guaranty than in all the eflorts that could be made. (Agita- tion) I do not think that war would have been declared against us; but I think that when the northern powers have attained the object which they have in view, the difficulties, not of war, but of peace, will commence for us, which will not be shewn by insult or provocation, but by ‘coldness and isolation ; that is, in my opinion, from wheace danger is to be apprehended, and it 18 against that danger that | thought it proper to warn the coun- try. believe in war. Are there no means lett for treat- ing between State and State on those questious which divide them? If there are, let them be adopted—demand guaranties, and seek alliances— | and when you have them, bring them here. Have you alliances? Ifyou have, say so. you to give me a reply to-day, for it is not for me to show myself so pressing towards the govern- ment; but what 1 wish is, that the ministry should be warned, and that it should seek for serious uaranties and for alliances. If these cannot be ‘ound, then will commence another order of ideas, and it'will be to take counsel thereon. ‘This is the salutary advice which I am desirous to give to the government.” Rome—Its Bombardment. &c, After a severe bombardment, three squadrons of the French Army succeeded in establishing them- selves within the outer walls of Rome, early on the 22d ult. They have since been occupied with operations for acquiring possession of the outer bastions and defences; but up to the 23d and 24th, they had not made much progress. Every inch of ground was stoutly defended by Garibaldi, who still centinues to animate his troops to resistance. | The latest intelligence received by the government from the expeditionary camp at Rome, states that General Oudinot had so far succeeded in his ope- piices upon the outworks, that the city was entire- ly at is merey—te spare which, and the horrors of. a inghtful carnage, he has submitted fresh terms | to the trinmvirate, through M. Corcelles, which, it is thought, would be accepted by the Romans. It is suid that the English government has pre- | sented a friendly remonstrance against the bom- bardment of Rome, and has urged on the French government the necessity of coming to an ac- commedation with the Romans. Affairs in Schleswig Holstein, _ The London Globe, of Friday, on information in which it places full credit, states that the Schleswig affair draws rapidly to a conclusion, and that the final settlement may be expected in a fort- night. Hostilities, however, are still carried on by the belligerents, but without any important results. The Wer in Hun The Hungarians were partial Austrian troops on the 21st, and were forced to re- tire beyond the Waag, where, from the nature of the country, they will be better able to repel the advance cf the invading forces. It appears from letters in the Austrian and Ger- man journals, that engagements have recently taken place between the Austrians and Hungarians at Kavovar Szred, and on points on the Vang. Whilst some ascribe the victory to the Austrians, other: are it to the Hungarians. ‘ The German Reformer, which hitherto has been favorabie to the Austrians, says that they have sustained severe shocks. It is said that cholera, typhus and other mala- ies raging in the that the Magyars display greater enthusiasm than ever. It was reported that the Austrians had taken Raab.

The Russian army, in four columns, marched from Galicia mto Hungary, on_the 17th and 18th, under the command of Prince Paskevitch. Their last head quarters was at Baslfieldt. 3 Italy; Advices from Italy, to the 18th, have been re- ceived, from which we learn that Ancona, after a cestructive bombardment of two days, had sur- rendered to the Austrian general. The terms of cepitulation are a political amnesty to the inhabi- tants. ‘The bombardment of Venice has been suspend- ed, in cons nee of proposals of capitulation having been made by the besieged. Germany, _ The accounts from Central Germany and Pras- sia are of a much more pacific character than hitherto China, We leara from China, that the Emperor has re- fused to y out the stipulations of the two trea- h provided that Canton should be open In the communication of Seu, the Governor of Centon, to Mr. Bonham, he says the kmperor had determined that, as the people of Canton still persisted in their refusal to receive foreigners into the town, he would not oppose their vishes. From the tenor of the proclamation it is te plain that the authorities were prepared to re- the entrance of foreigners into the eity. But a at sacrifice of human lite has been avoided, by 1d Palmerston having given special directions that nothing more sheuld be done than to report the repudiation of the treaty to him. ‘The large naval force which had assembled in the Canton river, to protect the interests of foreigng , bad all dispersed.

The piece chosen for the occasion is that of “ Hamlet,” in which the fair beneficiaire is to sustain the character of the melancholy and philoso- Poe Prince of Denmark. Among the whole range of hakspearean characters, that of * Hamlet” is con- ceded by the admirers of the immortal bard, and the dramatic public generally, to be not only the most dif- Beult to conceive and enact, but one in which the most distinguished tragedians have often failed in pleasing their audiences. Having, however, wit- nessed her representation of the character on previous occasion, we concur with her numerons admirers in awarding to her the merit to which her talents and appreciation of the part justly entitle her. She combines in an extraordinary degree, the grace and elegance of her uncle, with the startling effects produced by the immortal Kean.
