AMERICA.

SOUTHAMPTON, TBURSD %Y.
The United States mail steamship Arago, Capt.
Lines, arrived off Cowes this morning at ten
o'clock, en route from New York to Havre. She
brinas 26 passengers For Southampton, and 201
for Havre ; also species for England, to the amount
of 150,000 dollars; and for France, 550,000 dollars,
and 1,500 barrels of flour.

On the sth, in lat 46.15, lon. 3345, the Arago
passed the Kate Bowley, abandoned, with her
hat"hes off, and full of water.

By this arrival, we have advices from New York
to, exclusive of, the 28th ult.

The Asia had arrived, and her political news
had caused some excitement. It was believed
that Lord Palmerston would be defeated, and there
would be no war. In allusion to the state of
relations between the two countries, the Journal
of Commerce remarks that

The dismissal of Mr. Crampton and the Consuls had
kindled the wrath of some of the Ministerial jurnals, and
thed demanded a victim to their resentment in the dismissal
of Mr. Dallas. There existed indications of a movement
both in Parliament and the country to apply a strong
pressure upon the Government to prevent the adoption of
retaliatory measures. Judging from the tone of the
friendly addresses which we publish to-day, from citizens
of Manchester and Liverpool to the people of the United
States, it would seem that they are not without some
apprehension of an unfavourable issue of the pending
disputes. On this side of the water there is no such
apprehension. For we know that neither our government
nor people want war, and we cannot believe that after
spending 400,000,000 dollars in two or three years war
with Russia, England can wish to spend as much more
within the next two or three years, in crippling or turning
against herself the energies which otherwise would con-
tinue to play into her hands to fill her coffers. Americans
also believe that, unless England desires war for its own
sake, she will not force it upon us, without more provoca-
tion than we have given her, which we hold to be very
little. Therefore, Americans are calm and undisturbed,
while in England there appears to he much anxiety.
Whether they diimiss Mr. Dallas, or retain him, the
remark will still be true, that if war ensues, it will come
from their side. There are so many reasons why they
should not, and so few reasons why they should compel
such a conflict, that we "calculate " they will resort to
some other and more economical and decent plan of
adjustment. We believe that the American Government
is prepared to meet them in the most liberal spirit.
From Washington under date of the 27th ultimo,
we learn that the Senate considered and passed
the House Bill authorising the President to cause
the Southern boundary of Kansas to be run and
marked. Also the bill respecting the harbouring
of deserters, and to protect the public interest in
regard to the enliattnent and discharge of minors.
A message was received from the House announc-
ing the death of the Hon. Mr. Bayley, of Virginia.
There is no prospect of the House concurring in
the Senate resolution for the adjournment of
Congress on the `21.11 July. An effort will be made
to-morrow in the House to force a unal vote on the
bill for the admission of Kansas into the Union.

From Kanzas, we learn that an attempt had
been made to kill the new Deputy Sheriff of
Douglas county, Mr. Hansy, who lives in Franklin.
Three men came to his house and fired into the
window, shooting at his bed, He narrowly escaped
and got his gun. They then broke the door open,
and as the Abolitionists were about to enter, Hansy
shot one of them dead. The rest fled,
General Shannon had arrived at St. Louis on
the 27th ult., but would return to Kanzas in the
course of a week. He reports all quiet in the
territory, and authorises the Republic in that he has
not resigned, as had been reported.
Ex-President Fillmore arrived at Uttica on the
27th, and was received by about 5 000 citizens.
He was welcomed to the city by M. M. Jones, Esq ,
in a neat speech, to which he responded in a very
happy vein. The EN-President was afterwards
entertained at a public banquet, and his reception
is described as most enthusiastic.

At Boston, on the 27th ultimo, heat and close-
ness of the atmosphere was relieved at two o'clock,
by a severe thunder storm of short duration. At
East Boston, one house was struck by lightning,
doing considerable damage, and alarge unoccupied
building blown down. The vividness of the light-
ning and force of the wind caused much alarm in
the suburban towns, but no great damage was done.
Freemont ratification meetings had been held at
Portland and at Milwaukie.
It is announced that Commodore Stockton had
been nominated for the presidency
The trial of Mr. Brooks for the assault on Mr.
Sumner, was appointed to take place on the 30th
_

From New Orleans (June 25), we have the fol-
lowing intelligence

_ .
The steamer Granada from Havana is coming up. An
arrival at Havana from Aspinwall, reports that the
Illinois had left Aspinwall for New York, with the
California mails of the sth inst., 2,250,000 dole in treasure,
and nine hundred passengers.
The Granada brings dates from Sao Francineo of the

sth of June. Casey and Cora were hung on the 22nd of
May—the same day ou which Mr. King was buried.
Perfect decorum_ was observed throughout the pro-
ceedings.

The Vigilance committee had arrested several other
desperate characters, including the notorious Yankee
Sullivan. The latter committed suicide in his cell at the
Committee Rooms, leaving a confession touching the
elections in San Francisco.

The opponents of the Vigilance Committee attempted to
hold a meeting on the 2nd, to denounce the committee, but
it proved a total failure.
Several murders in the interior are recorded.

Rumours were circulated that Governor Johnson would
call means into requisition to suppress the revolution ; but
no hind► had been done as yet. These rumours, however.
created much excitement throughout the State, and word
was sent from the interior that thc,usands were ready to
march to the assistance of the committee. Sacramento
alone offered to furnish one thousand men.

The excitement was on the increase, and martial law
had been declared at San Francisco.

The committee were determined on carrying out their
measures, and continued to make arrests. The opposition.
however, were organising, with nine hundred stand of
arms. It was rumoured they intended to attack the
Committee Rooms, which were strongly guarded, wish
two cannon before the door, loaded with grapeshot. All
the journals. except the Herald, side with the Committee.
Indian hostilities in Oregon are partially suppressed.

A difficulty had occurred in Washington Territory,
owing to an attempt made by Judge Saunders to hold a
Court during the existence of martial law. The Judge
was arrested for safe keeping, until order shall be estab-
lished.

The health of San Francisco was good, and business
moderate.

Cholera was raging fearfully throughout the State.
Advices from Costa Rica state that the army is dis-
banded.

Nothing important from Nicaragua,

MONEY MARKFT, June 27.—The impression made in the
street by the telegraphic advices, from Sandy Hook, of
the Asia's news, appears not to be warranted by any-
thing in either the published accounts, or private letters,
now at hand. There was a temporary panic, during
which very little business was transacted, except at the
Stock Board. When the truth became known, and it
was found that the news was quite as peaceful as the
most sanguine had expected, and that Consols instead of
declining, had advanced h, there was a partial re-action,
although shaking nerves cannot be quieted in a moment.
The Stock Market fell off under th. misinterpretation
of the news to f, but at the Second Board, with increased
animation, the decline was fully recovered, with a strong
feeling, and Erie was active and buoyant.
