AMERICA.
TH6 AMERMAN DIFFIOULTY.—The Niagara arrived at
at Liverpool from New York on Sunday last. The ex-
citement upon the " British Outrages" question WM on
the increase. In the Senate a Bill had been reported
from the Committee on Foreign Affairs authorizing the
President to employ force to protect the rights of citizens
from the aggressions of foreign Powers, The House of
Representativee had v eased a joint resolution, which
virtually was a deelaration of war against the repubhe
of Paraguay. Lord lqapier is said to have despatched a
messenger by special Ammer to the British Admiral
commanding on the West India station, informing him
of the feeling that existed with regard to the conduct of
the British cruisers, and the measures that have been
taken by the United States' Government. The des.
patches are not in the nature of instructions, but simply
suggestions for his guidance until the British Govern-
ment can be heard from. The New York commercial
advices of the lot instant contain no indication, notwith-
standing the efforts of the speculators in stocks and
money, that the markets were in any way affected
the the unsettled queetions between the British and
American Governments.

A RIBING IN CANDIA.—We have already announced
that a telegram from Malta mentions an insurrectionary
movement of the Greeks in Candia. Our advices from
Canea come down to the 24th of May, 10 days prior to
which the Greeks at Lams and many of the peasants in
the neighbouring villages refused to pay the tax levied
by the Ottoman authorities for their exemption from
military service. The Pasha, after trying to no purpose
' conciliatory measures, was compelled to call in aid from
the garrison of Candi' and Reteimo, which spared him
• force of 950 men, sufßoient it was hoped, to resist any
attack upon Canes, from which town, by laid amounts,
the insurgents were within an hour's march, and he had
also despatched the Silistria steamer to Constantinople
for strong reinforcements. Meanwhile, as a matter of
precaution, he had taken possession of • large &pet of
gunpowder within the town, belonging to two lonian
Greek merchants, and had adopted other measures of
public safety which the tbreatning attitude of affairs
called for. The lonians are indulging hopes of getting
rid of the Protection of Great Britain, and being an-
nexed to °moot and go the length of smarting that the
matter will be dummied in the Paris Conferences.
Tux CONFUSIONAL 11 BILGRAVIA.—On Friday morn.
ins the meeting was held, of which notioe bad been
given, at St. James' Hall, for the purpose of °onside r-
ing certain seta alleged to have been committed in ths
Confessional at St. Barnebas Church, Lord Calthorpe pre-
sided. The Hon. and Rev. F. Baring laid before the meet-
ing the facts of the case, which were of so disgusting • na-
ture as to preclude the possibility of publishing them. He
defended the characters of the women ; denied that they
come forward for gain, and Assured the meeting that it
was not until he convinced them it was for the p=
of getting their wrongs redressed, that he mild
from them the necessary information. He afterwards
read the judgment of the /Bebop of London by whieb
the "said Alfred Poole" was removed from cam, the
reading of which was followed by tremendous cheering.
He concluded by stating that "The conduct of the
Lady Visitors had been moat abominable in catering for
that man's bad propensities." He trusted that the
Bishops of the country after such an exposure of the
goings on in Belgravia, would see the importance of
giving their serious attention to the subject. After the
usual- comphmentary promedinp, the meeting, which
consisted entiriatili; of gentlemen, separated. There were
be said to pre NO Members of Parliament, amon
m g
who were 00 ens. The proceedings were iinproing
and sztraordinary, and the exposures produced a pro-
found sensation,
