a steam-ship, supposed to be the Humboldt, last from
Southampton. _ _ _

The screw steam-ship City of Pittsburg, from
Liverpool, before reported as having arrived at Phila-
lort her propeller on the third day out, which
accounts for her prolonged run.
Kossuth had left Washington on a tour through
the Western States.

The Austrian Minister at Washington, M. Hulse-
mann, had written a letter to the President of the
United States, remonstrating ag.;iinst the speech of
the Hon. Daniel Webster, at the Congressional ban-
quet to Kossuth. Webster was preparing an answer.
it was expected that Hulsemann would receive his
passports.

The report that Lord Palmerston had forwarded
a communication to the American Government in
the Prometheus affair proves to have been un-
founded.

A letter received by the Hon. Mr. Webster from
the American Minister at this Court notifies the
change in the Foreign Secretaryship, and that Earl
Granville ba►d personally- assured the Hon. A. Law-
rence of his desire to be on the most friendly footing
with the United States Government.

HURRICANE IN THE CHANNEL.—On Saturday
night it blew one of the most fearful gales in the English
Channel ever known. The new West India steamer Ori-
noco, on its passage from London to Southampton, expe-
rienced its full fury. The gale came on just as the Orinoco
passed Dover. The sea washed over her funnels, and for
three hours, although her engines were going at full speed,
she was enabled to make but little way ahead. She took
eight hours in running the twenty miles from the Foreland
to Dungeness. Not a person on board ventured to retire to
rest during the whole night. She proved a splendid sea boat,
or she could not have lived out the gale. She came up
Southampton water yesterday afternoon after her fierce en-
counter with the hurricane of the preceding night in splendid
style. It is feared that there must have been a great loss of
shipping and life in the English Channel. At Southampton
it blew with tremendous fury the whole of Saturday night,
so much so that the French mail boat from that port was un-
able to put to sea until yesterday evening.
FORMATION OF A RIFLE CLUB.--We find that
several active gentlemen in the Stock Exchange have
agreed to form a club, on the principle of eneiling members
at their convenience to practise rifle shooting, it being under-
stood that although each gentleman will suit the time of his
attendance to his own convenience, he will, as a member, be
pledged to become expert in the practice. Mr. Charles
Mitchell, of the Stock Exchange, has been appointed hon.
secretary, pro tern., and Henry Tudor, Esq., treasurer. The,
authorities at Woolwich have consented to place at the club s
disposal space at Woolwich for practice, to be exclusively
used used by members at stated times, so as not to interferemembers
the regular artillery exercise. The subscription.

at the conclusion of his discourse, the subject
'if which was the blessings of the gospel, which was freely
offered to all, he strongly urged the nece,,sitv of increased
exertions for the diffusion of the Gospel, at a time when the
emissaries of Popery and infidelity were showing redoubled
exertions, and urged the importance of ameliorating the state
I of society and improving its moral condition by a careful
training of the rising generation, arm which would have a
ino3t importaiit nail'. in a social and religious point of view.
The Parochial Boys' School has existed for 152 years, and
educates 101 boys. After the sermon a collection was made
in aid of the funds of the school.
LOUIS NAPOLEON IN LONDON.—Lotii3
.I.Napoleon
was in London, on a flying visit, on Monday last. We have
good authority for stating the fact, incredible as it may ap-
pear. He went back, as he came, in disguise, his business
being of a strictly private nature. What that business was,
we are of course unable to say. We can only conjecture—
from the romantic attachment known to subsist between the
Prince President and the Marquis of Normanby—that the
recents desertion of that nobleman has deeply
affected the
heart of his bosom friend, and that he found the impulse to
follow him irresistible. Whether Pylades and Orestes met,
and if so, how they met, shutton heyo
