THE

AMERICAN NEWS

sOU'D mus:ssiss
The United S:ates' steam-ship Hermann,
Lieutenant United States' navy, common •
dei;te,uarnriavnilotli"Cion'ss;es at six P.M. to-day, after a pas-
sage of twelve days from New York, and having
landed the English and French mails and passengers,
proceeded on her voyage to Bremen. The Hermann
left New York on the 19th ult., and brings three
days' later news than the last Liverpool steamer. She
brings 92 pssssngers and a small quantity of specie
for Havre. The principal political news of interest
by this arrival are the full details of the Whig Na-
tional Convention, which was in session.
At 13sltimore 31 balloting 3 bad been held u:s to the
time of the strainer's sailing, but there was appa-
rently no chance of a choice.
The latest telegraphic dispatches come down to two
P.M. of the 19th, when the numbers were as follow :
General Scott... 134
Fillmore
Webster -
Oar private correspondence contains thes":fol-
lowing :
" Tne Fillmore men will hold on to their candidate so
long as a possible chance offers for his nomination, but
as soon as his prospects begin to darken they will very
generally go over to Mr. Webster. The friends of Mr.
Webster, in order to defeat the nomination of Scott,
should they find Mr. Webster's nomination out of the
question, will join the Fillmore ranks. There is at pre-
sent a better prospect of the nomination of either Fill-
more or Webster then there is of General Scott's, though
the latter's friends, counting confidently on help from
Tenesso and Kentucky, say that he will-be chosen. The
course pursued by Mr. Boils with regard to the private
letters from General Scott is looked upon as hurting
Scott's prospects considerably. L is rumoured that,
should General Scott lose the nomination, when it could.
have been secure had there been a more fair representa-
tion from New York than that allowed, the delegation
will strongly protest against the nominations, and as
not in any way binding. The Webster men held the
balance of power and would ultimately east their
strength into the Fillmore scale, in which case Fillmore
would be sure to obtain the nomination."
An arrival from Honduras brought news that the
Island of Rustan, as well as five other islands depen-
dent on Honduras Bay, had refused to acknowledge
British authority, and claimed the protection of the
independent State of Honduras, which had been ac-
corded to them. Everything is represented as being
in a state of rebellion, and serious consequences were
anticipated.

Advices from Belize state that the mahogany crop
would be about 12,000 000 feet.
The screw steamship City of Glasgow arrived at
Philadelphia on the 18th ult. The Europa arrived
out on the 19th ult.

The transactions on the New York Stock Excange
were limited. Government Stocks ruled firm, with
an upward tendency.
There were buyers of United States' Sixes of 1867
at 1161.
Foreign exchange firm ; London, 1101 to 110 i;
Paris, sf. 16c. to sf. 15c. • Amsterdam, 401,- to 41;
Hamburgh, 36i to 3611 ; Bremen, 79 to 791.
Some of the banks were disposed to hold money at
higher rates, in consequence of the increase in the
exports of gold and the prospect of further shipments.
Potashes were in demand.
Pearlashes had declined.
Cotton market very dull, but no decline. Sales in
the past three days 2,700 bales.
Coffee in moderate demand.
Copper in good demand.
There "iv:s a disposition to sell flour, the export de-
mand being less active. A good demand for grain,
but a difficulty in obtaining freight-room checked
operations.
The market for iron firm, but the sales were un-
juipeatant.
Lead, firm.

At New Orleans the news had no effect on sales ;
on the 17th ult. 1,000 bales, and on the 18th 2,000
balea, at irregular prices.
