SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY NIGHT.

The Hamburg American Company's screw steam-
ship Bavaria, Captain Taube, arrived off Cowes at
7 p.m., with mails from New York of the 28th ult.,
and went on to Hamburg.
She brings 199 passengers (of whom 21 are for
Southampton, 65 for Havre, and 113 for Hamburg),
541,717 dols. for England, 248,400 dols. for France,
and 10,000 dols, for Hamburg.
The Bavaria made the voyage from Sandy Hook
to the Needles in 11 days 23 hours. During the
first three days she experienced strong easterly
winds, and the latter part of the voyage westerly
winds and fair weather. In lat. 43.30 N., long.
48 W., passed several icebergs.

At 10 p.m. on the 29th ult., in lat. 40.44 N.,
long. 67 IV,, the Bavaria spoke the steamer Teu•
tonia, bound hence to New York.

In the Senate, at Washington, on the 26th tilt.,
petitions were presented in favour of a ship canal
from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi, and of a
bankrupt law. The bill to carry into effect the
treaty with Great Britain for the suppression of the
slave trade was passed, with only four dissenting
votes. The bill for the admission of Westerr, Vir-
ginia was taken up, but pending its consideration
the Senate resolved itself into a High Court of Im
peachment, for the trial of West H. Humphreys,
of Tennessee. The galleries were densely crowded
to witness the proceedings. The members of the
House of Representatives came in and filled
the seats of the Senators, who were arranged
upon a platform specially constructed for the
purpose. The witnesses, including Colonel Polk,
Parson Brownlow, and Bailie Peyton, occupied
settees on the outer circle. Two tables were placed
in the area fronting the Secretary's desk, one of
which was surrounded by the managers on the part
of the House to prosecute the case, while the other
was unused—the accused, with his counsel, not
being present. The proceedings were conducted
with all the dignity becoming a High Court of Im-
peachment. The accused was found guilty on the
first article of impeachment by a unanimous vote of
the 38 Senators present; he was also found guilty
on all the other articles but one—that which charged
a confiscation of the property of citizens of the
United States. The judgment of the Court was
that Judge Humphreys be removed from his office,
and for ever disqualified from holding or enjoying
any office of honour, trust, or profit under the
United States. The Court and the Senate then ad-
journed.

In the House, when the members returned from
the Senate Chamber, Mr. Walton, of Vermont, as
a question of privilege, caused to be read a commu-
nication in the Tribune in regard to " the Intel-
ligencer Buok Job," and introduced a preamble and
resolution calling for an investigation of the charges
contained in the communication. The resolution
was adopted-102 to 8. The Senate Bill to pro-
vide additional medical officers in the volunteer
service was passed. The members then again pro-
ceeded to the Senate Chamber to hear judgment
pronounced in the impeachment case, and, on re-
turning, adjourned.

The National Choral Society will give an open
air choral performance in the gardens of the Royal Horti-
cultural Society, South Kensington, to-morrow (Saturday)
afternoon. The choir will number 1,000 voices, and will
be under the direction of Mr. G. W. Martin. The success
of the National Choral Society's singing at the conversa-
zione of the Society of Arts on Wednesday, at the south
Kensington Museum, has much increased the interest taken
in the proposed open air performance.
EARTHQUAKE IN MALTA AND CANDlA.—Con-
siderable alarm was caused a short time ago in Malta by
several slight shocks of earthquake. The first occurred at
a quarter past 11 a.m., on the 18th ult. A smarter shock
was experienced at about 25 minutes past 6 on the morning
of the 21st. The latter shock had a curious effect on the
cross on the top of the steeple of Queen Adelaide's Church.
Thiss cross and ball, both of massive stone, besides being
slightly thrown out of their perpendicular, were turned
round in their sockets more than 45 degrees. Instead of
looking towards the north-east, as originally placed, they
now face due east. Letters from Candia state that between
the 18th and 22d of June several shocks were felt in that
Wand, the most severe being that on the 21st ult., when
several houses were shaken down. No mention is made of
loss of life. The shock of the 21st was also felt slightly at
Catania, in Sicily.
