ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM-SHIP HUMBOLDT.
SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY.—The United States' mail
steam-ship Humboldt, Captain Lines, arrived off Cowes
this morning, and after landing the mails for England
proceeded on her voyage to Havre.
Tho Humboldt left New York at noon on the 28th
ult., and her run to Cowes roads has occupied 11 days
15 hours mean time. She has 106 passengers (only a
few of which disembarked at Southampton), specie
(principally in silver), value 900,000 dollars, or 180,000/.
sterling, all for France, and a cargo of cotton, whale-
bone,*potash, and sundries for Havre.
The New York papers by this steamer are of four
days' later date, and the advices two days later than the
telegraphic accounts received by the America at Liver-
pool - -

The British and North America royal mail steamer
Europa reached Boston at 5 P.M. on the 25th ult.
General Scott had been nominated by the Whig State
Convention of Penaylvania for the Presidency. The
prospects of sir. Webster are reported to be favourable.
The Post-office at Washington had received 400,000 dead
letters from California. A movement in reterence to
the Commissioners of Emigration had been made in the
New York Legislature with a view to preventing frauds
upon emigrants when landing at New York.
Mr. John C. Stevens, the owner of the yacht America,
is a passenger by the. Humboldt tcyHavree The:America
left New• York -for that port on the 21st 'Ult., and after
remaining on. the coast of France for a feev drys is to set
sail for Cowes, where she will doubtless be as object of
great interest to the members of the Royal Yacht squad-
ron. Tao Tribune has the following on the suljeet:—
" The new yacht America sated for Europe en
Saturday morning. She was built upon the condition
that should she prove to be a faster sailer than the
Maria the builder should receive double the cost
of building her, which was about 16,000 dollars.
She has had several trials with the Maria, but ha's never
been able to beat her; but several gentlemen were so
well sati,fied with her sailing that they purchased her for
20,000 dolls. Her present owners are Messrs. John C.
Stevens, George L. Schuyler, Edwin A. Stevens, Beek-
man Finley, and Mr. Wilkes, and they send her across
the Atlantic for the purpose of snatching her against the
crack vessels of the Roy al Yacht Club. She first goes to
Havre, where she will be fitted up in elegant style, and
then proceed over to England."
The subjoined telegraphic dispatch from Toronto
dated the 27th ult., had been received at New York :
"It is understood, though not officially announced,
that the Government are prepared to Extend liberal aid
to the whole line of railroad from Halifax, Nova Scotia,
to Detroit Michigan via Quebec. An agent of Baring
Brothers is here, and it is understood that the whole
loan can be obtained under the imperial guarantee, at 3i
per cent.
"le the House of Assembly last night, the Ministry
stated, in answer to en inquiry, that no overtures have
been made to the Opposition to form a coalition Govern-
ment. Mr. Mackenzie moved for a committee to draught
a Bill to abolish the Court of Chancery. The Govern-
ment resisted, and' narrowly escaped a defeat, the vote
fur the motion being 30 against 34. Many of the ablest
lawyers advocated the abolition of the court."
By way of New York we have dates from Valparaiso
to the Bth of May, about a fortnight later than the last
direct advices.
" Tranquillity was "completely restored to the pro- '
vince of Santiago. The officers wounded in the recent
disturbance were generally recovering, and but few of
the National Guards had been lost. The sentence of
the Council of War, condemning to death twenty-seven
citizens of Valdivia for aiding in the rebellion, was con-
firmed by the court-martial. Petitions to the Govern-
ment for a commutation of the sentence had been pre-
sented to the archbishop and several ladies of the most
respectable families. The labouring population of Ata-
cama were highly incensed at the news of tho outbreak
in Santiago. Great alarm had been excited in Valpa-
raiso and Copiapo by the appearance of the cholera."
From Havannah the latest dates are to ,the 22d ult.
The political news is quite unimportant. Mercantile
circulars state that exchange was lower. Freights
high, and vessels to Europe scarce. A large propor-
tion of the crop was unshipped. A moderate business
was doing in ,sugar, and the prices of the previous de-
cline were maintained. Another concession, however,
was anticipated. Sales were made of molasses at
reels, but they were generally held at two reels. The
transactions in coffee were insignificant.
In New York the stock market was exceedingly ac-
tive. The cotton market continues stiff, and hardening ;
the letters received out by the Europa was satisfactory ;
the sales on the 27th reached 2,000 bales. A better
business had been done in breadstuffs, with more unifor-
mity in rates. Corn bad advanced ; provisions limited
in demand. Freight firm.

THE CRYSTA,L PALACE AND THE CARPETS.-11e
tapestries and carpets in the French department are very
properly so arranged as to set forth their varied claims to at
tention. The spectator can examine them as near as 141
pleases, and being partly disposed upon the floor, the light
falls upon each individual fibre of the wool, and calls forth
their brilliancy of colour. On the contrary, in the English
carpet class, these fabrics are hung up as if to be beaten—but
not, we trust, by their rivals. Some of the English carpets
are so placed—that, for instance, made by Messrs. Watson,
Bell and Co. for Windsor Castle—that all opportunity of
examining its details is denied, and a general notion of its
excellences can only be arrived at from a distance of 48 feet!
while the light falls upon it in angles, which give shadows to
the wool most injurious to its brilliancy, although it may.„bf
doubted whether it hurts its most exquisite harmony. 7
have little doubt but that the question of cheapness will have
its influence in any decision which may be come tO,,T;;._
may be gratifying here to state that in this Pa
taking carpet for carpet—the English carry the best of w, of
to ten, while it is moreover observable that throbf the Con-

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The police on Tuesday arrested, at the house of a
lithogiapher, named Comnits, several persons enge god
in printing the 12th bulletin of the Committee of Re.
sistance. The bulletin thus describes the present ps:eks
tion of the party of reaction :
" Reaction, which thinks to restrain us, is itself block.
aded, and we press it so closely that it prepares the greatest
efforts to disengage itself. Legitimists and Orleaniete
bravely pursue their system of compression and pciliticel
hypocrisy, but they have found others stronger than them.
selves. The Elyse() presses on them. It contains in' itself
all that is most odious and most repulsive of the regimes cg
the Restoration and of 1830. Louis Bonaparte is connected
with the Jesuits. He sells France to them in order to reign
in their name. The law on public instruction, the protec..
tion afforded to fanaticism, the support which the canaille
en soutane, the hypocrite Montalembert, and the journal
of the Inquisition, lend to the prolongation of the
Presidential powers ; all prove the existence of this
disgracefid bargain. In order to conform himself to
the precepts of his Jesuitical brotherhood, Bonaparte at_
tempts a new trick. Supposing the French people to be as
stupid as he is intelligent, he has the effrontery to say that
he is innocent of all the mischief that has been done, al•
though it is he who took the initiative in it, and who con..
tinues to aggravate it. Were we to believe his paid journals,
he is animated with the best intentions. Let him be main•
tained in office, and he will re-establish universal suffrage,
and effect the most magnificent reforms. Wretched juggler,
we know his tricks since the 10th of December. No,
after having expiated his fault, and drained the cup
of humiliation to its very dregs, the people will not
recommence. But let us look for a sinister denouement.
Louis Bonaparte will not stop at any crime to retain
power; that stupid idiot wishes to be the terror. of hia
age, as he is the disgrace of it; he covets the 'glory
of Charles IX. Who is there that does not know
that he is the inspirer of that filthy pamphlet, written with
mud and blood by a Romieu, his librarian and his intimate
confidant? Is it not he also who has just ostensibly autho-
rised a tociety of assassins, called the Ligue du Bien Public?
Do you knew, citizens, what his league is? It is a coalition
of all the great robbers of France, of haughty nobles,- of lazy
priests, who peaceably enjoy the fruit of theft rapine, and
tremble at being compelled to render an account. They en„. .

muskets every day taken from the Republican National
Guards, and the empire will be proclaimed in the midst Of the

action. Let us not slumber in se imprudent security.",
The policy of the Republicans in; abstaining from
voting has completely succeeded in the department of
the Haute Vienne ; there, neither of the candidates
having obtained an absolute majority, the election is
void. Upwards of 36,000 electors abstained from voting.

bers of the National Assembly who have already en•

M. MONET has proposed the following amendment to
the resolution of the Committee on the revision of the

Assembly expresses the wish that the Constitution shall be
revised in conformity with the said article, without encroach-
ing on the principles contained in the first four articles of
the preamble of the Constitution."
