AMERICAN NEWS.

ARRIVAL OF THE HERMANN.
SOU 111AMPTON, SATURDAY MORNING.

The American ocean steamer Hermann has just ar-
rival off Cowes, from New York, on her way to Bremen.
She lett New York on the 12th instant, at 4 P.M. She
has brought 91 passengers, and specie to the value of
100,0001. sterling tor England and France.
The Hermann passed the Franklin on the 13th, and
the Washington 1,066 miles from the Needle's on
the 21st.

From Washington, we learn that the court-martial
on General Talcott found him guilty of the charges.
The finding has been approved by the President, and he
has been dismissed from the service, without any reser-
vation.

Captain Frazier, of the revenue service, now stationed
in California, has been dismissed by the President for
tyrannical conduct and violation of the Act of Congress
abolishing flogging.
Instructions have been given to secure a uniform ap-
praisement of imported goods at all the ports of the
United States.

An invitation has been extended to the President and
Cabinet to accompany Mr. Webster on his journey
north.

According to dates from the city of Mexico to the
24th of June, the Mexican Government had issued a de-
cree prohibiting all labour and scientific examinations of
the Tehuantepec route, and ordering all Americans con-
cerned to leave the republic. Troops had been sent out
to enforce this decree.

The steamer United States, bound for Tehuantepec,
had been refused a clearance at New Orleans by the
Mexican Consul. The Mexican Congress was in sitting,
discussing the national debt. It is said that Arista had
abandoned the liberals on a bribe from the priests.
The cholera was still at Cincinnati. A terrible storm
raged on the Texas coast for several days. The steamer
Maria Burt was totally lost. Many houses in Texas
were blown down, and the young cotton crop is partially
destroyed.

COMMERCIAL.
NEW YORK, JULY 11.—Tbe supply of money has
somewhat increased since our last report. The demand
is still active. It was more freely offered in the Street
to-day, which had a good effect upon the stocks at the
second board. The banks, however, showed no disposi-
tion to extend their lines. In uncurrent money there is
bat little offering, and business with the brokers is un-
commonly dull. Foreign Exchange is in fair demand,
and rates are firm. Exchange on England was firm at
110 f to noi.
Cotton—The sales reported on 'Change were 800
bales, and subsequently about 400 bales were sold. Prices
were fully a quarter cent higher than yesterday, and in
some in some instances a half cent advance was paid.
The improved feeling is attributed to the advices from
Texas with regard to the injury done to the grow-
ing crop.
Flour—Since the arrival of the last steamer the market
has lost its buoyancy, and prices have declined, closing
quiet and heavy.
Grain—For some days past there have been but few
transactions, and the market closes heavily.
Freights—A slight decline has taken place in rates to
Liverpool.

VISIT OF THE CITY POLICE TO THE ROYAL
EXHIBITION.—On Thursday last Daniel Whittle Harvey,
Esq., the Chief Commissioner of the City Police, issued an
order, announcing to the sergeants and men of the force,
that in consequence of the fatiguing duties they have had
to perform since the opening of the Exhibition. her Majesty's
visit to the City, &c., four days next week, Monday, Tues-
day, Wednesday, and Thursday, will be allowed as a holy-
day to the different divisions by rotation, so as to enable
them to visit the Crystal Palace m Hyde-park. Hitherto
the constables belonging to the City Police have been alloWed
one week's furlough during the fine season, but in conse-
quence of the Exhibition, that liberty cannot be granted to
them.

CREMORNE GARDENS.—La GARDENS.--Last night Mdlle. Palmyre
Garneron made a successful balloon ascent from this excel-
lent al fresco place of amusement. The evening was very
fine, and highly favourable for aerial navigation. After
rising, steadily for a few hundred feet, the balloon took a
south-westerly direction, and after a short but pleasant pas-
sage across the river, Mdlle. Garneron effected a safe descent
on Wandsworth-common. The gardens were very full.
Tau GREAT EXHIBITION.—An interesting event
was well nigh taking place on
.Wednesday, which would
have rendered the Great Exhibition the birthplace of a
youthful visitor. A young lady, accompanied by her hus-
band and two female friends, who had been waiting for some
time at the south entrance, in the vain hope of obtaining a
conveyance, was suddenly seized with symptoms which
indicated that she was on the point of becoming a mother.
With the aid of Mr. Duncomba, the assistant secretary, and
several other of the officials, the lady was conveyed to, the
Commissioners' room, and laid on the sofa. After the lapse
of upwards of an hour she was placed in a cab, and shortly
afterwards gave birth to her first child, a fine boy. We un-
derstand that both mother and child are progressing as
favourably as might be expected under the peculiar circum-
stances of the case.

ASSAULT ON THE HIGH-SHERIFF OF MAYO.-
CASTLEBAR, JULY 22.—As the High-Sheriff of Mayo, Mr.
David Ruttlege, was walking in front of the Court-house to-
day with a friend, during the sitting of the grand jury, ha
was accosted by a Captain Fitzmaurice, who resides in the
neighbourhood, and asked if a grand juror's summons, which
he produced, requiring his attendance at the assizes, had
issued from his office? The sheriff replied that he was not
aware, but he supposed it had. The gallant gentleman,
who was greatly excited, said he had not been called on
the grand panel, and he supposed it was the sheriff's inten-
tion to insult him, and, using several offensive epithets, he
applied a cutting whip pretty smartly three or four times to
the shoulders of the sheriff before the assault could be stayed.
It is supposed the matter will go to the Queen's Bench.—

THE FATAL RIOTS IN LIVERPOOL.-LIVERPOOL,
FRIDAY.—The adjourned inquests on the bodies of Jones and
Malin, two of the victims of the riots consequent on the
Orange processions in this town, were resumed this morning
before the coroner of Liverpool. Mr. Dowling, the police
commissioner of Liverpool, said that on the day of the pro-
cession, about nine in the morning, he was riding towards
a division of men

be required. He then heard that the Irish Catholics were
coming out, and immediately dispatched orders to Mr.
Quick to march to London-road. He (Mr. Dowling) soon
afterwards met Mr. Towers^n, with whom he proceeded to
the scene of the disturbance, and separated the belligerent
parties, after which no more violence was offered. He then
put himself at the head of about 150 of the police, and, in
company with Mr Towerson, followed the procession through
the whole of the southern parts of the town, to be ready to
act in case of any emergency Subsequently he sent Mr.
Towerson to the north, and the procession finally separated
about two o'clock into lots or lodges to dine at their respec-
tive places of meeting.—Ajuror inquired if any other fatally
had occurred from the procession than those which they were
now inquiring i.,to ? Mr. Dowling said that another man
was stabbed at eleven o'clock the next night. Several other
witnesses having been examined, the Coroner summed up,
and the jury, after a brief conversation, gave a verdict of
" Manslaughter."
