-the Engli Government have •et isidered neves-
Sary previous to the assembling of a Congress, ure
in a fair 'way of settlement, andize may therefore
look forward. to the assembling of the Congress at
no'Tery distant date. The -'2l**kis says the report
in question was, from 'the first, only unworthy
of .attention.

DISARMAAI,ENT.
- the 31w-sting Post characterises the .-reoent
Brussels telegram, respecting a simultaneous dis-
armament by France and England,
,as being
absurd on the face of it. Disarmament is the
very last thing France could ask, and iLe very
last thing England could- acceed to. Our arma-
ments are not at all •baseil. upon any French pre-
. parations. • If we adopt 'measures of ao&fensive
nature they are undertn as against all comers,
and against combinationcf powers, anddro not vary
in accordance, with the .varying strength of our
neighbours. ,

SW-GUNBOATS.
Every arrangemest has been made for the
launch of the screw gun-vessel Remger, frora
Deptford, this afternoon. Her armaments will
consist of five guns, -namely :—one 68-pounder-
-95 cwt. gun, ten-fee,- in length ' • • and four'24-
pounder howitzers. The keel of a precisely
similar vessel, to, be named the .landrail, 12. s
been already prepared, and she will be laid down
on the slip now occupied by the;iaanger, which
is ordered to be got ready for commission with
all dispatch.

TRIAL OF THE ARMSTRONG GUN.
Her Majesty's .Ship Wrangler returned to
Woolwich, yesterday, from an experimental
cruise,—the trying of the forty-pound and eighty-
pound Armstrongvan at sea. A most complete
course of experiments was carried out. &xty
rounds of ammunition with the :elongated.-shot
were fired with perfect success, and every equip-
ment pertaining: to the gun was pronounced
faultless.

TI-IF ROARS) OF TRADE =TURIN
The Board of Trade Returns for the month of
October were issued yesterday.
The aggregate %exports of • tle month are re-
turned at £449,476 more than in October /858,
lout £267,916 lemzthan in October 1857. 'Those
for the ten months of the present year,--how-
ever, have reached; the unprecedented total of
,1108,755,184, being; 12 per cert. more than last
year, and 13-, per-cent. more than in 1857.
The returns for, Ahe month show the activity
lately witnessed in-the exports of cotton is not
fully kept up as rsgards. linens, and the amount
is somewhat below,-the -average ; but the slip-
um-As of woollens have suddenly and largely
increased. There is also a rally in iron And
haberdashery. Tin:plates, silks and raw wool
still gure on the -onftvourable side.
THE SHLPFING INTEREST.

The Times has • a long 'leader on the shipping
trade, commencing as,Sollows The occupation
of a shipowner must be one requiring very:curious
qualifications, or rather, as we should be inclined
to suppose, no qualifications :at all. No wonder
that a trade should be overdone -Which is demon-
strably capable of being carried On at a profit by
men utteiv unable, to uudorstand what is passing
around them." . '

The Tunes, in some remarks on recent and
forthcoming meetings of the shipping interest,
proposes to give the recondite meaning of these
gatherings : it is not enough to drive out the
Frenchmen and the Americans. 'British shipping
means sailing ship, and on every
.principle of
y
proteetion and prohibition, _the sailin ship being
literally the weaker vessel, has a right to be pro-
tected against the formidable rig: ry ,of screw-
steamers.
The Post, in a leader, treats upon •the exclu-
sion of Ireland from the act enabling volunteers
to be enrolled.

A marriage is arranged between Major-Gene-
ral the Hon. Thom. Ashburnham, brother .of the
Earl of Ashburnharn, and Miss Foley, sister of
Lord Foley.
The Times, in a leader on the volunteer move-
ment, says that, if we are to have a really
imposing force, it must be to a great extent
consisting of men of the artisan class.

LATEST FROM AMERICA.'
ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA.

The British -and north' AmeriCan royal mail
steam-ship America, Captain Miller, arrived laSt
night.from Boston and Halifax, with journals to 1
the I.6th inst. She had forty-nine passengers and
$lOO,OOO in specie on freight, together with a
valuable carp.
As the America was proceeding to her, moor-
.
ings, irk the Sloyne, she came in contact with
the -ship J. Clark,. (at anchor,) doing her_ serious
damage. The .steamer had her port quarter stove
in, and a quarter-boat completely destroyed. The
AmeriCa afterwards came. foul of the American
ship Isaac Webb, also at anchor, but soon cleared,
neither ship in this case having sustained any
damage. •
The American papers are still occupied with
details of the elections, and 'speculative • discus='
sions on their results. • •
The approaChing presidential election is, as
might have 'been expected, the chief object,in the
political game which is seemingly .being, played:
out throughout the length and breadth of the
United States.
From Brownsville we learn that, on the 26th
ult., it was ascertained that • Cortinas,, with a

SAINT DOMlNGO.—Reports from 'Hayti, dated
at Porttat I'rince on the 22nd ult., state that
twenty- persons had been convicted of engaging
in theolate conspiracy ?against the 'Government,
and that sixteen of them were executed. 'Many
military men were sentenced to various terms of
imprisonment for the same offence, but most of
them had escaped to France. PieSident Geffrard
had issned a severe decree against persons engaged
in promoting civil disorder or dissensions amongst
the people. 'When Scralouque, in:Janiaica, heard
of the assassination 'of Geffrarcl',s daughter: he
requested a priest to offer up a High Ma;is'of
thanksgiving, but' the,clergyman refused. This
horrible fact greatly enraged the Haytiens against
the exiled Emperor.
