Mr. Sidney Herbert, M.P., with Captain Galton, Royal
Engineers, Dr. Sutherland, and several other members
of the Barrack and Hospital Improvements Commis-
sloe, visited Woolwich yesterday, and were accompanied
through the departments by the Deputy Inspector-General
of Hospitals, Dr. J. W. Holahan ; Colonel Walpole, Com-
manding Royal Engineer; Captain Freoth, Deputy Assis-
tant Quartermaster-General ; Capt. Sutherland, Barrack-
master ; and Captain Steele, H. P. Royal Artillery, mem-
ber of the local Board of Health for the War Department.
In anticipation of the expected visit of the Sanitary Com-
mission from London, orders were issued throughout the
garrison for the removal of all the accumulated filth and
rubbish in the courtyards and offices, which wore accord-
ingly put into good order. For some time past the sleeping
rooms in the field battery range have been unavoidably en-
cumbered with beds, considerably beyond the stipulated
number. These were yesterday morning removed to store,
gully-holes ware opened and refuse bins uncovsrod, and
their contents wore being carted away when the Sanitary
Commission made their appearance. The foul air and
stench were for a time insufferable. The cause, however,
was manifest, and after a hasty inspection the Commission
proceeded to the hospital, stables, and appurtenances.
They visited the several guard-rooms, 'the regimental
chapel (which has been closed about 12 months, and has
undergone thorough repair), the libraries, schools, and de-
partments of the garrison generally. Their attention
was directed to the examination of the new cooking
apparatus, the advantages of which were duly ex-
plained
and exemplified by fewer fires to attend to ;
a greater facility in cleaning the cook-house, boilers,
See. ; a lower temperature in the kitchen, with more
room for the distribution of the meals. It appears that
in the estimated cost of the apparatus to accommodate
SLO men a saving of 25 per cent. is realized on the ordinary
method of cooking. It was therefore proposed that Cat,
tain Grant shall be invited to erect a model kitchen upon
his principle for 500 men, in order to verify the accuracy
of the estimate, and to test its capabilities before intro-
ducing it finally into the service.

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 Hatnmonia, 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 R e-
sident to employ force to protect the rights of citi-
zens from the aggression of foreign Powers.
The House of RvresentAtives hal 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 -vith regard to the conduct of the
British cruisers, and the. measures that have been
taken by the Unild Atates' Government. The
despatches are not in the nature of instructions,
hut simply suggestions for his guidance until the
British Government can be heard from.
At Petersburg, Vir;iuia, great excitement had
been caused by the discovery that several slaves
were missing upon the departure of a schooner bc-
longing to 'Wilmington, Delaw ire. 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. 2,000 peop!e were at the wharf
when the steamer returned, and were with great
difficulty restrained from violence. The vessel was
also towed back.

The s'eamship Moses Taylor arrived at New
York from Aspinwall, with advises from San Fran-
cisco to the 7th ult., and 1,575,991 doll. specie.
The Legielature had adjourned. The weather,
thou ,11 dry, was delightful, and heavy crops were
anticipated.

Minineb operations continued profitable and the
reported discovery of new mines on the irazer and
Thompson river, in Washington territory, con
tinned to crate considerable excitement. Steamer

Advices from Mexico report that the Zuloaga
Government had declared all the Mexican ports
closed to commerce. It was expected that Alveran
would have two additional brigadEs on the field on
the 3d, with the view of advancing on Cnermavaci.
Letters at Washing on from Arizona state that it
is probable that Peschiera, governor of Sonora, will
deAare that State inclet endent in the event of the
success of the Za'oaga Government or Santa Anna's
return to Mexico.

The news confirms previous statements regarding
the coirespondence letween Peschiera and parties
in the United States. Arizona continued much
disturbed by Medan depredations, murder, and rob-
beries. The intelligence twat the silver mines
was highly encouraging, fresh discover:es having
been made. Tuesch was nearly destroyed by the
people going to the new placer gold dig4ings at
Canada, Delora, 20 nal:o3 distmt. The people were
anxiously waiting, and expected a territorial Go-
vernment.

Advic. s from Central America report that the
Yriparri treaty, b, fore reported as ratified by the
Nicaraguan Legislature, was still under considera-
tion in that body, President Martinez having re-
turned it for amendment, objecting to the occu-
pation of the transit route by the Unite.! States'
troops under the conditions proposed in one of the
M. Felix Belly, San Salvador, Costa Rica,
and Nicaragua had formed a treaty, offensive and
, defensive ; and President Martinez had officially,
urged a union of all the States of Central America.
Colonel Kinney, aided by some followers,-had made
an attempt to siize on the Government of Grey-
town, but failed in the movement. During the
struggle the M, squito fiag was hauled down and
that of Nicaragua hoisted. The boundary dispute
between 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 NewGrauade the Cass Herren Treaty had
not been ratified. Congress was still engaged in the
consideration of the new construction ; au idea of
the restoration of the old Colonial Republic was
well received, and it is said that the new Govern-
ment of Venezuela 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 some persons.
The New York commercial advicea of the Ist inst.
contain no indication, notwithstanding 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 activity prevailed in the
stock market, and prices were .mostly higher and

SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 12.
I 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 this place' and 190 for Havre, whence
she proceeded immediately she had disembarked
the Southampton portion of her mails, &c. She
has no specie for England ; 5,000 dols. for France,
and 250 casks of rice, besides general cargo.
In the Senate on the 28th the correspondence re-
lating to the ari est 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-
pore, pending the uncertainty regarding the proba-
ble acion of the British Government, "does not
recommend any present legislation, but the elm-
mittee unanimowly 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
actin of the Administration, and is prepared to
recommend such future legislation as circumstances
may require." The resolutions were to be consi-
dered next day. In the hous6, the I),st-office, the
Army, and the Ocean Mail Steamer Appropriation
Bills were passel,together with 90 private bills.
The Democratic Republican General Committee
of New York met at Tammany hall, on the even-
ing of the 27th, f'r the purpose of cmsidering 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 muting.

On the subject of the r:cent 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-
'king by the two Customhouse inspector : fur alleged 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 ujust that his
company should be subjected to the expense of defend-
ing the suit, which is merely to settle a disputed ques-
tion of law. He has heard but one opinion expressed
as to the propriety of Captain Judkins's conduct in
obeying the orders of the heath officer, which, by im-
memorial custom, take precedence in every port cf the
world, until the vessel has p tssed out of quarantine. He
does not care a straw which he obeys, but objects to
paying the expense of settling tho 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 passe: Sandy Hook,
and that the screw-cutter Harriet Lana will 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
wanner of the British cruisers in the Gulf. This step
wilt hardy be taken, however, without orders from the
collector.

"The Board of Aldermen pass'efl a res;luti•in on
Thursday evening on the recomm, n iation cf the Mayor,
holding Captain Judkins harmless in any suits that way
be brought against him by the United States' authoriti
on the ground that he acted in accordance with the
directions of theßaard of health and the health officer."

There was quite a war fever on the New York
Stock Exchange on the 28 11 (says the Daily
Tines)

" Judging from the general decline of 1 to 11 per cent.
in prices, and the fact that no other solution of the fell
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 oellisien; and
the proepsct that the Gulf difficulties are to be more or
lees agitated for some weeks to come—awaiting the re-
sponse from England—are seized upon in a market
otherwise, dull to. depress primate These circumstances,
aleo, are not without at least a partial influence upon
speculators who have been disposed to operate for the
rise in stocks, though we doubt whether many of them
will wait to hear of the diplomatic settlement of the
question after the market 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 distrust,
real or affected, growing out of this difficulty, is still
ceeflaed to the share list, for the sufficient reason that
Street speculation has had 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 of investment orders to
sustain prices pretty fairly even against the decline in
the remainder of the dealing. The index to the general
tone of the market to-day (28th) is the course of pricks
for New York Central, which, from 841 yesterday
afternoon, opened at 831, then sold at 844, subse-
quently fell to 831 to 82/, and finally closed at 83 per
cent. With this much cf the other railways sympathised
(Illinois Central being an exception), and the prices
made on the afternoon sales were, for Galena, 86 to 86,1;
Rock Island, 824 ; Erie, 201; Michigan Southern, 22 ;
Reading, 42 to 414; Hudson, 281 ; Toledo, 37.
The fall in the last-named is equal t.) 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
beirg the last day for subscribing to the pi ef,rence class
of stock, which, on the payment of $5 the share, throws
that portion of the capital not availing of the new
