F. HANCOCK, of Bruton-street and New
C• Bond-street, Jeweller and Silversmith to the Principal
Sovereigns and Courts of Europe, begs leave to remove an erroneous
impression which exists amongst some of his customers, that he has
retired, or is about to retire, from business. This impression (which
is entirely unfounded) has probably arisen in consequence of the re-

been, in any way connected, either in business or by relationship.

AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, JUNE 13.
The Niagara has arrived from Boston, via Hali-
fax, with dates to the 2d ; from New York, by
telegraph to Halifax, the 3d inst., -and $113,390
in specie.
With the exception of two or three days of strong
winds the Niagara experienced light winds and
moderate weather. On the 3d passed the Royal
Mail steamship America, hence ; and on the 11th
the screw steamship City of Baltimore, hence.
The Hammonia, from Hamburg and Southamp-
ton, had arrived at New York, and the Indian,
hence, at Quebec. •
The excitement upon the " British Outrages"
question was on the increase.
In the Senate a bill had been reported from the
Committee on Foreign Affairs authorising the P. e-
sident to employ force to protect the rights of citi-
zens from the aggression of foreign Powers.
The House of Representatives had passed a joint
resolution, which virtually was a declaration of war
against the Republic of Paraguay. Lord Napier is
said to have despatched a messenger by special
steamer to the British Admiral commanding on the
West India station, informing him of the feeling
that existed with regard to the conduct of the
British cruisers, and the measures that have been
taken by the United States' Government. The
despatches are not in the natal) of, itistanctionts
.but simply auggetious for his" guidance untij the ,
British Government can, be beard from.
At Petersburg, Virginia, great excitement had
been caused by the discovery that several slaves
were missing upon the departure of a schooner be:
longing to Wilmington, Delaw bre. A steamer was
sent in pursuit, and five slaves were found on board.
The captain, crew, • and slaves were taken back and
lodged in gaol. 2000 people were at the wharf
when the steamer returned, and were with great
difficulty restrained from violence. The vessel was
also towed back.
The steamship Moses Taylor arrived at New
York from Aspinwall, with ad vices from San Fran-
cisco to the 7th ult., and 1,575,991 dols. specie.
The Legislature had adjourned. The weather,
though dry, was delightful, and heavy crops were
anticipated.
Mining operations continued profitable, and the
reported discovery of new mines oa the Frazer and
Thompson river, in Washington territory, con
tinued to create considerable excitement. Steamer
loads of emigrauts had already started, and more
were preparing to leave for the new diggings.
Markets quiet ard unchanged.
Advices from Mexico rrport that the Zuloaga
Government had declared all the Mexican ports
closed to commerce. It was expected that Alveran
would have tava additional brigades on the field on
the 3d, with the view of advancing on Cuermavacs.
Letters at Washington from Arizona state that it
is probable that Peschiera' governor of Sonora, will
declare that State indeeendent in the event of the
success of the Zu!oaga Government or Santa Anna's
return to Mexico.
The news confirms previous statements regarding
the correspondence Letvveen Peschiera and parties
in the United States. Arizona continued much
disturbed by Indian depredations, murder, and rob-
beries. The intelligence fioni the silver mines
was highly encouraging, fresh discoveries having
been made. Tu,esch was nearly destroyed by the
people going to the new placer gold diggings at
Canada Debora, 20 mi'es distant. The people were
anxiously waiting, and expected a territorial Go-
vernment.

Adwic s from Central America report that the
Yrisarri treaty, before reported as ratified by the
Nicaraguan Legislature, was still under considera-
tion in that body, President Martinez haring re-
turned it for amendment, objecting to the occu-
pation of the transit route by the Uni•ol States'
troops under the conditions proposed in one of the
clauses. M. Felix Belly, San Salvador, Costa Rica,
and Nicaragua had formed a treaty, offensive and
defensive ; and Pre sideut Martiwa bad officially
urged a union of all the States of Central America.
Colonel Kinney, aided by some followers, had made
an attempt to seize on the Government of Grey-
town, but failed in the movement. During the
struggle the M squito flag was hauled down and
that of Nicaragua hoisted. The boundary dispute
bctw,en Costa Rica, and Nicaragua was arranged.
The Indians in Guatemala were troublesome, but
the republic was mostly quiet. Cholera had appeared
severely in some parts of the States. In consequence
of this there was a want of hands to collect the co-
chineal crops, which would Le short. Guatemala
had made an anti-fillibuster treaty with San Salva-
dor. In New Granada the Cass Herren Treaty had
not been ratified. Congress was still engaged in the
consideration of the new construction ; an idea of
the restoration of the old Colonial Rpublic was
well received, and it is said that the new Govern-
ment of Veneauela would consider it favourably.
The suppression of the standing army of New Gra-
nada had thrown a host of military malcontents
out of employment, and a revolutionary outbreak
was apprehended by'sonic persons.
The New York commercialadvices of the Ist inst.
contain no indication, notwithsiauding the efforts
of the speculators in stocks and money, that the
markets were in any way affected by the unsettled
questions between the British and American Go-
vernments. Increased acdwity prevailed in the
stock market, and prices were mostly higher and
firm, the closing quotations being for Missouri
Sixts 84, Virginia Sixes 922, New York Central
83,1' Erie (second mortgage) 92, Reading 41i,
Michigan Southern 22, Erie 19, Cleveland and
Toledo 36k, and Pacific Mail 70. Money cont.nued
abundant, at 4 to 5 per cent. for short loans, and
also at 4 to 5 per cent, for first-class leper, accord-
ing to length. The bank settlement for the week,
as compared with Preceding returns, showed an in-
crease of $992,861 in loans and a decrease of
$2,551,302 in sp(cie, $54,829 in circulation,
$1,145,494 in deposits. Exchange showed

SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 12.
The United States mail steam-ship Fulton, Capt.
J. A. Wotton, from New York May 29, arrived
off Cowes to-day. She was detained- 24 hours in
the Channel by dense fog. The Fulton brings 24
passengers for thisplace, and 190forHavre, whence
she proceeded immediately -she had disembarked
the Southampton portion of her mails, ctc. She
has no specie for England ; 5,000 dole. for France,
and 250 casks of rice, besides general cargo.
In the Senate on the 28th the correspondence re-
lating to the arrest of Walker by Commodore
Paulding was received from the President and
ordered to be printed. A resolution, presented by
Mr. Seward, to extend the session of Congress
until the 21st of June was laid over. A report
from the Committee on Foreign Relations, relative
to the late alleged British outrages in the West In-
dian waters, was presented by Mr. Mason. The re-
port, pending the uncertainty regarding the proba-
ble action of the British Government, -"does not
recommend any present legislation, but the com-
mittee unanimously resolve that American ships,
when at sea, are under the jurisdiction of the coun-
try, and any visitation or molestation is an infrac-
tion of our sovereignty;. that the aggressions de-
mand such an unequivocal explanation from Great
Britain as shall prevent their recurrence in the
future ; and that the committee approves of the
actiot of the Administration, and is prepared to
recommend such future legislation as circumstances
may require." The resolutions 'werelo be consi-
dered next day. In the house, the PUst-dffiee, the
Army, and-the Ocean Mail Steamer Appropriation
Bills were passed, together with 90 private bills.
The Democratic Rettnblican General Committee
of New York met at Tammany hall, on the even-
ing of the 27th, for the purpose of considering the
propriety of calling-a mass meeting to
." express
our indignation' at the. recent outrages committed-
by British vessels of war upon the American flag."
A series'of resolutions were adopted, expressive: of
the indignation of the committee, and favouring
the idea of a mass meeting.
On the subject of the recent arrest of Captain
Judkins, of the Royal Mail steamship Persia, the
New York Daily Times of the 29th publishes the
following :
"The Hon. Howell Cobb, Secretary of the Treasury,
has written to Mr. Cunard, in reply to the statement
furnished to him respecting the arrest of Captain Jud-
skins by the two Custom-house inspectors for allege,' de-
tention and obstructing them in the discharge of their
duties, that the case must be allowed to go to trial.
Mr. Cunard. considers it manifestly unjust that his
company should be subjected to the expense of defend-
ing the suit, which is merely to settle g disputed ques-
tion of law. •He has heard but one opinion expressed
as to the propriety of Captain Jedkins's conduct in
obeying the orders of the health officer, which, by im-
memorial custom, take precedence in every port of the
world, until the vessel has pissed out of quarantine. He
does not care a straw which he obeys, but cbjects to
paying the expense of settling the point in dispute.
"There is a .rumour current that the inspectors at
Quarantine intend to board the Persia on her next
arrival from Europe, before she' passes Sandy Hook,
and that the screw-cutter Harriet Lane wilt be em-
ployed for that purpose,—that she will be hailed, and if
she does not heave-to to allow the inspectors to go on
board she will be treated to a broadside, after the
manner of the British cruisers in the Gulf. This step
will hardly be taken, however, without orders from the
collector.
"The Board of Aldermen passed a resolution on
Thursday evening on the recomm, niation of the Mayor,
holding Captain Judkins harmless in any suits that may
be brought against him by the United States' authoriti, s,
on the ground that he acted in accordance with the
directions of the Board of Health and the health officer."
There was quite a war fever on the New York
Stock Exchange on the 28. h (says the Daily
Times) :

"Judging from the general decline of 1 to 1I rer cent.
in prices, and the fact that no other solution of the fall
is spoken of on the Street. Nearly everybody deems the
chance of a fight with Great Britain, on sea or land,
very remote; yet the bare possibility of a collision, and
the prospect that the Golf difficulties are to be more or
less agitated for some weeks to come—awaiting the re-
sponse from England—are seised upon in a market
other wiee, dull to depress prices. These circumstances,
also, are not without at least a partial influence upon
epeculaton who have been disposed to operate for the
rise in stocks, though we doubt whether many of them
will wait to bear of the diplomatic settlement of the
question after the 'Gasket begins to turn the other way,
as it soon will, perhaps, at the rate of decline experi-
enced on the dealings for some days past. The distrue,
real or affected, growing out of this difficulty, is still
confined to the share list, for the sufficient reason that
Street speculation has bad comparatively little to do
with State or railway bonds for some time past, while
the superabundance of money has brought for-
ward a sufficient amount ef investment orders to
sustain prices pretty fairly even against the decline in
the remainder of the dealings. Tie index to the general
tone of the market to-day (28. b) is the course of pric
for New York Central, w)-icb, from 841 yesterday
afternoon, opened at 831, then sold at 'B4l, eubse-
qnently fell to 831 to 821, and filially coned at 83 per
cent. With this much e f the other railways sympathised
(Illinois Central being an exception), and the prices
made on the afternoon Soles-were, fer Galena, 86 to 861;
Rock Island, 821 ; Erie, 201 ; Michigan Southern, 22 ;
Reading, 42 to 414 ; Hudson, 281 ; To'edo, 37.
The fall in the last-named is equal to 31 per cent.
since yesterday, and 7 per cent. within the week.
Panama fell off to 1071 per cent. as against 108 per cent.
yesterday ; Pacific mail to 69 per cent. Some sales of
Cumberland coal were made as low as 141 per cent, this
being the last day for subscribing to the pref./Trice 'lass
of stock, which, on the payment of $5 the share, throws
that portion of the capital not availing of the new
arrangement further from a dividend than ever. The
sales of Cleveland and Columbus stock are at 93 per
oent. Illinois Central shares under the last London
quotation improved to 881 to 1. The bonds sold at 84
per cent. The feeling in State Stocks was to a per
cent: less firm than yesterday. Sales of Missiouris this
afternoon at 83/ per cent. City Bank shares hold firm.
The banks have the use of so large a Ellin of deposits
and country bank balances, free of interest, that even
at 4 to 5 per cen,. per annum on their temporary em-
ployment, the profits, added to the usual employment of
the bank capital proper, continue liberal. The La
Crosse Land Grants brought 33a per cent, this afternoon,
Aich is an advance of to 3 per cent, on yesterday's
