AMERICAN NEWS.

ARRIVAL. OF THE WASHINGTON.
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
SOUTHAMPTON, AUG. 4, 9.10. A.M.
'The Washington has just arrived from New York
with dates to the 20th July ; the news is unimpor-
tant. The Caledonia had not arrived out.
The markets continued firm for corn, flour, and
cotton, and'money was very abundant. The cholera
had diminished, and the reports from the States in
this respect were cheering. The steamer Alabama
had'arrived at New Orleans from Chagres.
Large quantities of gold had arrived at Valparaiso
from San Francisco, and forwarded to England.
News had been received, via New Orleans, from
Jamaica to July 2.
The Governor, in his Speech in the Legislative
Assembly, urged them to receive the loan offered by
the British Government.
It was expected the session would be short, as the
Members seemed inclined not to transact business.

ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY AT

CORK.
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) -
COVE, FRIDAY, 4 A.M.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert are now in Cove
Harbour, to the great surprise of all here. The
Royal squadron was telegraphed off Cove-head
Lighthouse yesterday evening, about six o'clock, and
at ten the Victoria and 'Albert entered the harbour
and authored beside the Rear-Admiral's ship the
Ganges; 74 guns ; all the ships in the harbour, both
merchants and naval, being brilliantly illuminated.
Her Majesty's arrival was announced by the firing
of guns on the batteries of Spike Island, and when
the Royal yacht hove in sight several large bonfires
were lighted in Trabolgan, the residence of E. B.
Roche, Esq., M.P., and other places.
Active preparations are being made for the re-
ception of her Majesty in this city, but the Mayor's
proclamation informs the citizens that the entry
procession would not take place till Saturday, and
some of the triumphal arches appeared last evening
to be in such a very unfinished state that if the Queen
.lands in Cork to-day, which is more than probable,
the people may not be so well prepared as they would
Wish.

Up to this moment the Royal intentions are not
known 'by any one here.
