WHOLE NO. 6026. THE NEW YORK iH MORNING EDITION----THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1850. NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. ONE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL or THE STEAMSHIP AMERICA, AT HALIFAX. Threatening Aspect of Affairs on the Continent. — “ANOTHER DECLINE IN COTTON. IMPROVEMENT IN THE VALUE OF SILVER. Smcreased Religious Exeltement im England. SERIOUS RIOT AT BIRKENHEAD, &e., eo, Keo. Hatirax Teeararn Orrice, ‘Wednesday morning, Dec. 11, isso. ¢ The British steamship America, Capt. Shannon, ‘with 46 passengers for Boston, and 6 fer Halifax, arrived at 8 o’clock this morning. She left Liver- pool on Saturday noon, the 30th ult. Among the passengers in the A. are Professor Risiey and his baliet troup, from Pans. The Baltic, the fourth of the Collins line,arrived at Liverpool at half past 10 o’cléck, on Thursday ‘morning, after a passage of eleven days twenty two hours and thirty minutes. She encountered ‘unusually heavy weather throughout her passage from New York. The Canada, from Boston, preceded the Baltic, and arrived at half past 11, on Sunday forenoon, after a passage of ten days twenty-three hours and thirty minutes. The news from all parts of Europe, is one week dater than that brought by the Asia. It is impor- tant. Affaire on the continent wore a threatening aspect, which caused a decline in cotton of one eighth to a quarter of a penny per pound. The German Troubles. THE THREATENED WAR BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND PRUS- SIA—NEW PRUSSIAN LOAN—CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE SOLDIERS, ETC. The latest news from Germany is in no respect more pacific, nor are affairs less critical and com- plicated than for two weeks previous to the sailing -of the America. The Prussian Chambers was opened on the 2Ist, “ey a speech from the King, (as was mentioned in ‘the New York Herald by the Asia) which has ‘caused intense excitement, and, as has been stated, ‘was looked upon as favorable to the war party. ‘He says:— In the shortest possible time we shall be more strongly armed than ever before, either in ancient or modern times. We seek not war, but we demand an arrangement of the general fatherland, suitable to our ‘present position in Europe and Germany, and corres- ponding with the amount of rights which God has Placed Im our hands—we have a good old right—we ‘will defend it, and remain under arms till we have scoured its recognition, We owe this to Prussia—we owe this to Germany. It is stated by telegraph from Paris, that the Prussian government has negotiated a loan of £10,000, 000 sterling, with the house of Rothschild in Leadon. ‘The upper house of Assembly is reported to be inclined to peace, whilst the lower is moderatel disposed. The disturbances between the Prussian -and Bavarian troops at Frankfort, were renewed on othe 25th, and in several of the streets, the soldiera of the two countries had very sanguiaary conflicts ‘The intervention of strong patrols could alone pre- nerve peace in the city. Whe Austrian or federal army in Hesse, is suf fering from want of provisions, and their com- ander has informed the Prussian General that he shall be compelled to advance. General Groben replied that the Prussian troops under his com- mand would not fall back under any circumstances. The cabinet of St. Petersburg is reported to have formally made known that a war of Prussia against Austria, would at the same time be a war against Russia. After Berlin, the war party find most support inthe Rhenish provinces. dt Frankfort, Bertin, Vienna, Amsterdam and other central pomts, confidence m the maintenance of peace i, daily becoming weaker. The stock exchange was, at the latest dates, greatly agitated. At Vienna the premium on gold shas.zisen to forty, and on silver to thirty per cent. England. INCREASED CATHOLIC EXCITKMRNT—SERIOUS RIOT AT BIRKENHEAD—TERRIBLE COLLIERY RXPLOSION, ETC. There is greatly increased agitation in England and Scotland, in regard to the anti-Popery move- ment, and the London Neiws asserts that the Attor- ney General is preparing a bill to make penal the holding of English titles by the Catholic clergy, and the Times signiticantly remarks that Dr. Ulathson is the first, as he will assuredly be the last Bishop of Birmingham. Lord Beaumont, a Catholic nobleman, has taken the field sgainst the mesures of the Pope, and ‘maintains that his appointments to English Bishop- ricks are derogatory to the crown and at variance with the constitution. Immense meetings to denounce the aggressive policy of the country, were held, and in some cases led to serious riots, especially at Birkenhead, where the meeting advertised for Wednesday, 27th ult., resulted im one of the wildest riots since the days of the reform bill. Magistrates and police were com- pelled to fly before the mob. The cross finally restored quiet. A frightful colliery explosion occurred at Firth and Son's mines, at Halifax, Eng, on Friday af ternoon. Loss of life unknown, supposed to be very great. The Froneh Republic. The latest advices from Paris announce a de spatch from M. De Persigay, from Berlin. He is reported to have expressed bis convictions that the King of Prossia will have great difficulty in re- straining the warlike disposition of his army and people, and that he cannot and ought not make any further concessions. The French ambassador in London had arrived in Paris, to explain Lord Palmerston’s views on the German question. It is reported that England ‘wishes to act in concert with France, and that she demres to prevent Russian intervention. In the Assembly, on Tuesday, an exciting de- bate arose upon the question of raising an addition- al army of 40,000 men, alluded to in the New York Herold on the arrival of the Asia. M. Thiers is reported ef the committee to whom the subject has been referred, and will, it is said, lay down such principles of peace and neutrality as will completely bind the hands of Louis Napoleon. Whilst the Assembly are opposed to war uponall hands, the debates plainly show that France is strongly op- posed to any combination whieh should render Germany united. Ab del Kader has made an ineffectual attempt to | obtain his liberation, by applying directly to the aseembly. A proposition to transfer the seat of government out of Parte, haa been revisted by a very decided majority. profess to regard it as a mere question of etiquette. Tarkey. An alarming conspiracy of the old retrograde party in Constantinople, has given rise to a rumor Kossuth is still held in durance, and is reported to be suffering with typhoid fever. Sardinia. The King of Sardinia opened his Parliament on the 23d ult., and was enthusiastically received: His speech, which gave great satisfaction, an- nounces his intention to maintain the laws neces- sary for the new political organization of the coun- try, in spite of the Pope. The Markets. Livearoot, Batuapar, Nov. 30, 1850. COTTON. The circular of Messrs. Brown, Shipley & Oo., reports a dull and depressed cotton market throughout the week, with @ declne af a per Ib. on all descrip- tions of BAmerican.
