NEWS FROM EUROPE. — Arrival of the Etna and America at Boston and City of Washington Off Cape Race, THE TROUBLES IN ITALY. THE OUTBREAK IN PARMA. WO LIGHT YET FROM ZURICH the Weather and the Corn Trade in England. TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE AT ERZEROUM, 0. wo. aa. ‘The Etna and America are both at Boston. They left Liverpool on Saturday, the 18th inst, ‘The Zarich Conference had resolved to proleng the ar- mistice anti! the ratification of peace. There is discontent in Italy snd disunion in Germany, and the opipion is gaining strength that there are serious obs'acl’s to the establishment of the proposed Italian Con- federation. The St. Petersburg Gazette, on this last point, asks: ‘How can absolutist Austria, thercratic Rome, consti- tutiona) Piedmont and the Two Sicilies, Parma, Tuscany and Modena, be amalgameted? What measures can be adopted for the uniform developement of the moral and productive forces of the nation? How can unity be established and @jscord prevented? Must Piedmont make the sacrifice of her liberal invovatious to Rome or Vienna, or must the con- trary take place?’ These grave questions, it adds, can only be decided by a Congress. i A correspondent of a Liverpool paper states that an extraordinary and significant movement is taking place in Venitia. The geople, having been abandoned to Aus. trien tyranny, are flying into Lombardy. The emigration bes stready taken place on a large scale; people have abandoned houses, farms, shope—all that they possessed— to escape the Austrian yoke; and if the coming Copgress defini'ively abandons the proyince of Venitia te Austrian rule, it ig sald that there will be a general exodus of the le. ges collision between the Austrian and Prussian sol- diers at Frankfort was serious; but it is believed ne lives ‘were lost. So bad is the financial condition of Austria that her troops in Italy are notregularly paid, and some acts of mutiny have already occurred among the Croatians on ‘this acoount, Some of them, says a letter from Brescia, have been shot, and the great bulk of the force has been fent bome to avoid further inconvenience. The most alarming discontent has shown itself amongst the Hun- garians, who are daily deserting from Verona and from Mantua. These poor fellews do not yet know what fate is jp store for them, but they have decided to emigrate to Ame. rica rather than trust to any amnesty which Austria can grant. It was reported that the foreign ambassadors to France would refuse to attead the Paris files if the colors taken from the enemy were allowed to be carried in the pro- cesmon. The King of Prussia was not expected to live much longer. Spain had resolyed to increase her foriifications in Cuba. There was a vague rumor that the Prince Napoleon was | to be made sovereign of Tuscany. It is officially announced in the London papers that “(tne Great Fastern will leave this country for Portland, United States, early in the ensuing month, after having made a short trial trip.” The English port of departure dves pot seem to have been yet determined upon. More | mnoney jm wanted; a special meeting of thé shareholders ie called for the 20s instant, to authorize the issue of the 20,000 shares held in reserve, and to consider the pro- priety of tpsuring the ship. The Liverpool Mercury of the 13th inst. contains the fol- kxyring from its correspondent at Dublin, in reference to the Galway postal service:— It in stateo thet positive information has been received bere, to the effect that the present government has deter- mived not to disturb the contract made by the govern- ment of Lord Derby with the Atlsntic Royal Mail Compa ny for the conveyance of mails between Galway and the United States, Its said that the contract is sealed and completed in every official form, but that it will not be delivered panoing the inquiries before the Postal Con- tracts Committee, whose #ittings are to be adjourned unsil pext ression. During the last month or two a number of te shares of the Atlantic Royal Mail Company have been vakeo in this country, and it is stated that arrangemonts ‘ure iv progrees to piace the company on ab extended basis, particu arly in reference to Ireland.

At the diplomatic banquet today speeches were made Dy the Federal President and Vice President and by Count Coiloredo M. De Bourqueney has invited the diplomatic corps toa grand banquet on the 16th. IMPORTANT FROM ITALY. ‘The news from Italy is contradictory. The Liverpoo! \f Post of the 18th gives the following résumé :— ‘The provisional government of Tuscany issued a procia- |} mation to the people before the elections took place, call- ing upon them to enabio, by their conduct, the Emperor Napoleon to do for Italy what he intends for their good; eno it is stated besides, that they have sent a special envoy to Berlin to obtain the consent of the Prussian go verpment to the removal of the present dynasty. With | regard to the question as to who is to take the place of that dynasty, the Paris correspondent of the London Star |} rewurns toe project already mentioned, namely, a mar- \prisge between the Grand Duchess of Parma and the |) Depbew of Victor Emani the Prince of Oarignan; to be || fobowed A other marriages destined to cement the union | Detewreen the Houses of Savoy and the Imperial family of i France and the Bourbons of Parma, and at the ame time !

Frorence, August 11—6 P. M. ‘The Ministers and Deputies went this morning to the cathedral. They were cheered at the opening of the As- sembly, and the opening message of Nicasoli was much applauded. ‘The whole town is covered with placards, enuing with these words— Viva Vittore Emmanuele! i The,prociamation to the people of Tuscan: on |Jof action states that the government had rooelved autho, course fed Lay ae \peror his benevolent in. nounced) ‘be not CS ei }) Calmily an- ‘The Mercantile Courrier 10a states that tho who have lost thelr thrones in Italy, bave sent saves femissaries into thelr respective States to foment disordee and distribute money among thelr adherenta, In the of Modena everything seems in favor of Piedmont, The people run in crowds, we are told, to vote for the dethronement of Francis Fifth.

Faripi, Dictator of Modena, has assembled a large force under bis orders. He told Uount Reiset. the lrench Envoy Extraordinary, that he would level Modena to the aang sooner iban he would see the Duke restored by force. The correspondence of the London Times thinks the Emperor of the French desires to raise up such an oppo Seon se will render the restoration of the Duke im- sible, Pomme rulers of Central Italy, mistrustiog the lukewarm- nesn of the Modena party, have cailed the red republicans to their aesistance. . ‘Tho rumore published yesterday that the red repubit- cans had obtained the advantage over the friends of order im Parma, and that the Piedmontese had veen driven from that city, is confirmed partiaily by news received from Austrian official sources. On the other band, we learn that Count Reiset, the French Emperor’s Special Epvoy to Central Italy, bad at Parma handoiils thrown into his carriage expressiag a wish for annexation to Sarciaia. The tol'ow!ng 18 from the London Ninws:—A telegraphic deppatch from Parma is a quick fulfilment of the aousi pation we ventured to put forth yesterday. Already it Appears that the red republicans bave obtained tbe ad vabtage over the friends of order in Parma. The intelli gence is from Austrian officiai sources, and we may nope that a more detailed report may mitigate ine revola Uonary character which is given to taese events.

Ip the provinces of Parme, twenty-six out of the whole twenty-nine communes, have deciared their adnesion to the Sardinian government, Parma, August 6, 1859. Count Reiset put off bis intended journey, and wilt only leave this afternoon at three o’clock. He received yester- day a telegraphic despatch in cypher, enjoiming him to endeavor to prevail on Count Paliieri, the Sardinian Go. vernor, to iegue @ public announcement that ‘ail hope of annexation of the y of Parma to Piedmont must be gtven up, and that the people here ought to resign them: aeives to the idea of the contemplated restoration of the Ducal family.” Pailieri answered that he had no instruc- tions from his own government to that effect, and that whenever bis government wished to make such an inti- mation tothe people of Parms they would have to seek for another person to do their bidding. You know, more. over, the reply made by Dabormida, the Minister for Fo. reign Affairs at Turin, toa similar proposition of the French government. Piedmont will have po band in the restoration of the sovereigns of Central Italy; and if the Emperor Napoleon thinks the eloquence of his envoy the beet means of eliciting the “spontaneous” vote of the Italians, he need have recourse to no other contrivance For ern, Linen Danek Beles has bad jong inter- views with reve: Ineutial persons belonging to all Parties, and their declarations have been ag unanimous as Mf there had never been such a thing a division of poiiti- ca! opinions in this country.

Between Modena, Bologna and Florence the best understanding is al established, and the Itahans of the present day, it is impossible to deny, show as much eagerness for union as their foretathers evinced readiness pe developed a perverse genius for divisions and civil feuds. All these schemes and devices, however, may almost at apy moment be cut short by the occupation of these Cen- trai Italian towns by the French, or by popular commo- tions, 20 soon as the ultimatum of Zurich as to their fate 8 made public, Here the government rests on popular aufferance and forbearance only. It has no other force than 700 raw Piedmontese conacripts of the Seventeenth and the National Guard, by far the largest num ber of which belovg to tnoge classes among whom dis order in all countries looks for the most active workers of miscbief. News from Florence of August 1 announces the demoli- tion of the Belvedere citadel, from which the late Graud Duke meant to bombard the city. This act is decisive as to his chance of return, Garibaldi is daily expected, ac- cording to La Patrie. It is added by La Presse that, ‘thoogn in ill health, the Italian General will appear in Tuscany at the head of 13,000 men; mostly the regimente of Aipine hunters. He has got leave of absence from the service of King Victor Emanuel. A RED REPUBLIC PROCLAIMED IN PARMA. The'official Aus:rian of August 11 con- tains private intelligence, dated Parma, 9th instant, stating that the Piedmontese had been driven out of the city, abd a red republic proclaimed. Property holders and the friends of order were taking flight. * SARDINIA, The Piedmentese Gazeue, in stating that tbe elections took place throughout Tuscany on the 7th with the grea\- est order, adds that Baron Bettino Ricasoli and ail the Mimistere, Marquis Gino Capponi, Advocate Galeotti, Pro. feseor Giorgini, Marquis Bartolommel, Gonfalouiere of Florence, Advocate Majenchini, M. adamt, banker, and other influential men, are among the elected. ‘A letter from Coembery says:— The pobility of Savoy, I'am informed, have found a kind of mezzo termine, which, without detaching their proviuce from King Victor Emantel’s dominions, will nevertheless secure to ita separate and independent governmect. This change consists in transforming Savoy into a vicerovalty, which would have for its head the youngest of the King’s sons, the Duke of Aosta, and have an administration quite separate from that of the King’s Italian possessions. It need hardly be said that no one at present regards this project in a gerious light; but on the meeting of the Cham- bers the question of Savoy and probably this plan will be brought forward. The King of Sardinia has conferred the Grand Cross of the Order of the Anunciado on the Count Waiewski. General Garibaldi bas been elected Deputy at Strabella, in Piedmont, THE PAPAL STATES. Torix, August 11, 1859, Advices received from Bologna siate that a decree of the government has convoked an assembly, to be elected by the inhabliante, in order to express the wishes of the population.

The Envoy Extraordinary of Switzerland at the Court of the King of Naples has ited to the Nea- politan government certain demands, viz:—Tnat the Swies standard be given up, the uniform and the number of the Foreign Legion be altered, und that they areno longer w be called Swiss. The Duke of Serracapriola, formerly Prime Minister, goes on an extraordinary mission to Rome, The correspondent of the London Times at Naples states that circulars have been sent to the bishops and civil au. thorities directing them to use all their influence to in- duce the people te sign petitions against the Itatian Con- federation, as proposed by the two Emperors. The writer adds:—The Neapolitan government was creating great disappointment, because, while affecting to do something, it does nothing. SWITZERLAND. A letter from Zurich says:—The Duchess Regent of Par. ma has for the last month been residing in a delightful cottage near Rapperschwyl, a smali town in the canton of ‘St. Gaul, and commanding a view of the Lake of Zurich. At a grand federal rifle match which has just taken place here, the Duchess not only accepted the invitation inhabitants to be present, but generously increased the number of prizes to bo awarded to the successful shots She has her four children residing with her.

The Dublin Evening states thatthe Irian harvest, in which considerable progress has already beea made, will be one of the earliest ever known; and, taken alto: gether, the yield and quality will be more satisfactory than was expected two or three week gincu. The re- porte frou most parts of the Louctry cescribe the wheat 48 a very fair crop, ss yet free from ipjary, generally \ick Oa the ground, with a full, beaitny ear. Oats have been mucb complained of, aud that crop is generally vory sbort in the straw, but the bead i# pretty strong; and atbovgh the yield will in some places fall much below an average, ihe total ie pot Nkely to be very seriously ceficient. Of barley the reports are various ‘and conflicting, and it is difficult to arrive at a correct estimate. In Carlow, tor example, some fino flelda of barley bave been secured. Ia Wexford, a famous barley growing district, the crop varies much in character, and +ome portion it inferior, whilst ip other coun:tes thesamo description applies, the crop being sometimes light and thin on the ground. Ail the accounts hitherto of the potatoe have been quite encouraging, reporting the crop as abundact, very fine in qaanty, avd free from dis- ease, although the roots, to @ coutiderable extent, were COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Loxpox Mowry Marxer-—Thureday evening, August 11.— ‘The English funds opened rather heavily this morning, but were subsequently steady. Coneola, which left off yeaterday at 953, a 063g, were first quoted at 953, 0963,. They goon recovered to 9534 a 953, and were then firm to the close of business, The bank made no alteration in their rate, and itis therefore presumed that, although the discounte bave been large this week, the repayments have been equally extensive. and that’ the reserve has copeequently not expertenced any further serious diminu- tion, The better appearance of the foreign exchanges post day, and the arrivals of gold and silver, by which ‘the market bes been supplied, will also have exercised vome influence on the question.

This heavy fall is owing to the ‘very large extent of the present remittance. The small amount of bar silver received on this occasion has not yet been disposed of. Loxvo, August 12—Evening. The London Times (City Artic’e) saye:—Secarities have gradually become weaker during the last forty cignt nours, The knowledge that the Indian and Russian loans would be forthwith introduced, contributed w the heaviness, though not to so large an extent as was expected.’ The effect was, nevertheless, prejudicial and apparent in every one of the departments. A similar in- fluence is at work on the other side of the Channel; and while the position of politics may bave something to do with the current of business, capitalists at the same time cannot be unmindful of the result of a steady at jon, such as is indicated by these operations. The decline in Consols was nearly one quarter per cent, and although during the day a slight rally ensued, it ‘was not main- ; particularly when it was found that an additional fAil had taken place in the French rentes. The positive Tange in quotations wes from 953; to 95, but the final ioe was 96% to 95%, with fresh symptoms of dulnees the more advanced hours, STATE OF TRADE, Lrickerer, August 10.—There is a good amount of busi- nega doing in the hosiery trade, business continuing ina healthy and gatisfactory state. Manufacturers are well engaged, and the operatives fully employed. Stocks are light and future prospects are cheering. In the country districts the hosiery trade is in an sctivecondition. Wools are high in price, and yarns continue stiff, spinners being tolerably well employed. NorrmouaM, August 10.—There is very little alteration to report in the state of the lace trade. A few orders are creep'ng into the market, and the plain net trade is in a tolerably active state. The improvement in other depart ments is very glow, and not equal to what it was supposed it would be at the termination of the war. There are seve- ral orders completing for the German market, and more is expected to bedone in a sbort time. In fancies there is not much doing. Manufacturers are keeping all kinds of sevnloyed, but atl many hands are but partally cogages, employed, but stiil many are iy i The bomery trade is in « bealtay state, ré jg not much doing just now for export, but quite as much as is usual at this period of the year. ‘There is also an average amount of business doing in the home trade.

Last evening, after the close of the Stock Exchange, the Prospectuses of the loans were issued. The Russian loan 1s for twelve million pounds, at three per cent, the price of which is sixty-eight per cent; but owing to the sum fixed for the last instalment and first dividend, the price to the subscribers is in reality sixty-six and a half. The Preliminary deposit is three per osnt, and the total de- posit, due on the 13th inst., is fifteen per cent. The last ‘pstalment is payable in January. The list will be kept open till the 20th inst. The applications from the Conti- nent are expected to be very numerous, ‘The Indian loan is five million pounds, and it is to be raised in five per cent stock, The price, instead of being fixed by the government, is left to be settied by each in- Gtvidual tendering the preliminary depomts, he deing umited to two per cent, and the whole five million of pounds is to be liquidated at rave of one milion two bundred and fifty thousand pounds per mouth. fenders are to be sent in by the 3d instant, being two business days after the closing of the Russian loan list.

FIVE DAYS LATER NEWS. The City of Washington and the City of Manchester Bearded off Cape Race—The America’s News, dic. Sr. Jonws, N. F.. August 25, 1859. ‘The screw steamship City of Washington, from Liver. pool August 17, and Cork August 18, was boerded by tho news boat off Cape Race at half-past two o’clock this (Thursday) afternoon, and such news as can be gleaned from the papers at hand will be forwarded without delay. [The City of Washington’s news had not reached Sack- ville at eight o’clock this (Friday) evening, and the pre- sumption is that the report was withhelé, as usual, by the Nova Scotia Telegraph line; but as the Newfoundland Company are about to disconnect their cable from the Nova Scotia shore and carry it over to Prince Edward Island, as originally intended, thus passing around and avoiding Nova Scotia, the public may reasonably hope to be relieved atan eurly day from the outrageous conduct of the Nova Sco- tia telegraphers.] The acrew steamer City of Manchester, which left New York for Liverpool on Saturday last, was boarded by the agent of the Press off Cape Race, at half-past four o'clock this (Thursday) afternoon, and Captain Kennedy was bountifully supplied with English papers, reccived trom Captain Petrie, of the City of Washington, the day previous. ‘The Cuvard steamship America was boarded by the newe boat on Wednesday, and her news was imme- Giately forwarded to Port Hood, and there handed over tothe Nova Scotia line, and would: have been forwarded to New York in ample season for publi. cation in today’s (Thuraday’s) morning journals, if the Nova Scotia telegraphers had performed their duty; ‘but as such a course would have deprived the telegraph managers of the opportunity of favoring the news specu. lators’ report of the America’s news, the important in- telligence was allowed to rest at Port Hood until after the America had arrived at Halifax and her news had been despatched to Sackville by express.

Purmuant to notice, a meeting was held yesterday at No, 3 Bowling green, of stockholders of the Old Atlantic and Pacific Ship Canal Gompany, for the purpose of confirming the late contract made between John E. Body and Gen. Jerez, the Nicaraguan Minister. Several other matters came before the stockholders, which were acted upon. This meeting was necessary because the new charter, which is expected here by the next steamer (when rati- fled) puts an end to the old charter. ‘The new charter was translated and read to the stock- holders by Mr. Body, and unanimously approved. ‘Tt was decided to igsue one half—15,000 shares-—of the capital stock at 20 per cent, which would give $300,000 the route and put it operation. halt’ to ‘bo riven to ‘mockholders in casbange tor te The estimated cost of opening the Transit, as made b: Vanderbilt, s $270,000, and by'0.

News from Buenos Ayres. By an arrival at this port we have papers from Buenos Ayres to June 28, one day later than advices received vin England. : No outbreak had yet taken place between the forces of Urquiza and the province of Buenos Ayres. Urquiza’s troops at Rosario, in the province of Santa Fe, were in « very discontented condition, and desertions to Buenos. Ayres were frequent. General Zapioia, the Chief Admiral in the Buenos Ayres Navy, bad resigned on account of age and infirmities. A younger man would take his place. ‘The Argentine Congress had issued a manifesto, ad- dressed to the Thirteen provinces, recapitulating the causes of the present quarrel and quoting largely from y Proclamation ruge and thieving hands from the glorious diadem of the nation. They give notice that the Presidential election will shortly take place, and hold out as an inducement to the Buenos Ayreans that if they will q rejoin the Confederation they may have a hand in the second President of the nation, The Buenos Ayres papers publish the manifesto in full, and at the same time com- ment on their own plan of proceedings, which is to finish Urquiza in one decisive battle, as Rosas was finished at Monte Caseros.
