She left Cowes at six A.M» on the 7th of July, having been detained there from ten P. M. the previous aight’ on account of thick fog. She brings about ninety passenge™, and over 800 tons of valuable French end Swiss goeds—value over two and a half mil'jon dollars. Our thanks are due to Parser Kane for late news, Among the passengers by the Franklin are the Princess Murat, the Countess de Goquy, Neil C. Brown, Esq,, of Tennessee, (late Minister Plenipo- tentiary from the United States to the Court of Russia.) Mrs. Commodore Hal’; and Miss art. The news ia of an importan?eharacter, both: po- litically, commercially and f¥ancially, the’ unfa- vorable aspect ofthe Eastern question, and ite effect upon the money and produce markets of Europe, being of great interest. Commodore Vanderbilt's yacht—the North Star— was entering Havre, on her returr-from Russia, as the Franklin left. Ste sent letter-on'board from her passengers to their friends in Now York. The Cunard steamsbip Canada, from Boston and Malifax, arrived in the Mersey early om the m: of the 3d inst. ‘ The Uipper ship Sovoteign of the Seas had ‘ar- rived in the Mersey, in 3 days and i9 hours from New York—the quickest passage ever yet made by asailing craft. This stupendous vessel had excited great attention in Liverpool. At the Mark lane com market‘on the 4th inst. the threatening position c’ Russian affairs caused holders of English wheat to ve very indifferent of realizing, and prices were 4s; to 58. per quarter high- er. Foreign was held at a similar advanco, which checked business, but sales to a fair extent were made at 4s, per sack advanee. Floating cargoes of Baltic and Black Sea wheat were held at 4s. to 5s. per quarter higher. Town made flour was quoted at 47s. per quarter, or 3s. higler than the previous week. There was good inquiry for American flour on French account, at 1s. to 2ss per barrel higher. Barley and malt rather higher. Oats 6d. to 1s. per quarter dearer. Indian corn was in improved request at higher prices. Tallow had further advanced, and 533. had been paid. The metal market was without alteration, except- ing that Scotch pig iron and Mast India tin had slightly declined. The Eastern difficulty had seriously affected both the London and Puris money markets. in London, consols, railway shares, and foreign bonds, had de- clined. Money was, however, easier: At Manchester the markets continued to show much | firmness, the unfavorable effect of the advices from India and China being fully counteracted, as regards prices, by the extensive strikes amongst the -opera- tives. Tn Birmingham the reduction resolved on by the ironmasters had led to an improved trade. In the woollen districts there was continued steadiness. In the Irish linen market there was increased activity, with large foreign orders. The Liverpool cotton market was more: animated. Sales on the 4th, 12,000; on the 5th, 7,000 bales— prices unchanged. On the completion of the outward passage of the Franklin, the passengers presented Capt. Wotton with a testimony of their regard, in the shape of a handsome silver water jug and stand, with the sub- joined correspondence:— Ox Boann STRAMsHIP Frangun, Orr Cowns, June 16, 1853.

The Japan Expeditioh—The U. 8, Ship Saratoga— Commodore Perry—The Revolution—The French Flag Affair—Vessels for San Franctsco. A letter from this part of tho world may not be uninteresting, though there may be nothing in it. The far-famed oud talked-of Japan expedition has arrived in the shape of one steamer, not remarkable for beauty, and great activity has existed in the United States squadron. They are all off to the north, and it,is supposed to Japan. Several persona here were most anxious to share the adventure; bat Commodore Perry has refused all applications. Mer- chants here, who were ready to engage in trade could they see their way clear, have been obliged to await events, sowe still indulge in speculations. Trade is very dull; ships are scarce. The business at Shanghae is almost entirely suspended. We ex- perieace great difficulty in getting news from the north, We have now two overland mails 9, month. Our last dates from New York, are to 19th February. We should have a mail by the 6th inst,, bringing news frommthe United States to March 4th, and, of course, the new cabinet, &c. The U.S. ship Saratoga, which ship has been very popular on this station, goes, I understand, to Japan. Her officers submit with a good grace, though it is @ severe disappoint ment to them not to have received orders for home. SLe has been thirty-four months in commission, and wants repairs sadly. 1 am quite confident we will have a good account of her should she be put to active service ‘by Commodore P. on the Ja pan coast. Hler officers know how to handle a typhoon as well as they mauage her. Commodore Perry arrived here in the Mississippi on the 7th April. His movements since his awum-
