The United States mail steamer Arago, arrival at mi !-
night. on Thursday, at Southampton—left New York on
the 14th instant, The Arabia, from Liverpool, arrived out
en the 13. h. The news received by the Arabia had the
effect of checking sales of cotton, The light stock, how-
ever, induced holders n'.:t to press sales, and in one case,
for a respectable time, a buyer offered to take it at a half
cent decline, which was refused. The moderate receipts
and light stock of breadstuffs also tended to prevent a
decline to correspond with a depress'on of prices in
Liverpool. Financial maq,.rs at New York still shewed
symptoms of progressive improvement. Railroad shares
had advanced. In dry goods there was little change. The
exp,rt of specie from New York was nearly 227,000 dole.

The Suisse of Berne save :—"lt seems that foreign
sgents have bean actively employed for some time past at
Geneva in making unlawful enrolments for the Dutch set-
tlements in the East Indies. It appears also that a
recruiting office, established at Evian, is in communicati )n
with one at Lomeli, against which the Federal Council
complained to the government at Baden. The Federal
Council has in consequence written to the goverment of
Geneva to call its attention to these facts."

A PROPE.Iit PustsiotzNr.—On Tuesday, Mr. Richard
Hodgson, an extensive miller and shipowner, of Blytb, near
North Shields, and his brother, Edward Hodgson, a captain
of a merchant ship just returned from South America,
were brought before the county magistrates at Tynemouth,
charged with assaulting Elizabeth Dickenson, a married
woman, wife of a glasaman at Seaton Sluice, en the IGth
inst mt. Mrs. Dickenson, who had been to North Shields
to make some purchases, was proceeding along the coast to
her home about five o'clock in the evening, when she was
overtaken by the defendants in a gig, who asked her to
have a seat. As she knew them she complied, as she was
carrying a large basket and bundle. After she got into
the gig, the blackguards, whose only excuse was that they
were drunk, assaulted her in a shameful manner, and she
had to leap out of the gig at the risk of her life to escape
from then:. The bench, after hearing the case, retired,
and on returning, the chai man Mr. Rppon, said that they
had determined to commit both the defendants to the
House of C,rrection for a month. They seemed pralysed
with the sentence.
