AMERICA.

The Bremen arrived at Southampton yesterday,
with the United States mail. She left New York
on the 14th inst. The news, which is one day later,
is unimportant.
The packet ship William Tapscott, Captain Bell,
arrived at New York on the 13th, from Liverpool,
bringing 726 Mormon emigrants, including women
and children. One half of them were from England,
Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, and the other half
from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. They are a
better class than the average of European emi-
grants. With the exception of some seventy-five,
the whole party left for Florence in Nebraska
territory the same evening, via the Suspension
Bridge route.
A Washington telegram of the 13th inst. says :
—" Letters received here, from sources entitled to
credit, mention that rumours were prevalent in
various portions of Italy that the Pope might be
compelled to take refuge in the United States.
Our ministers at Rome and Naples speak of it as
highly probable, owing to the unsettled and pre-
carious condition of things."

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
_ NEW YORK, MAY 13.
There was to-day a reaction from the late panic, and
prices at the Stock Exchange advanced considerably. The
market closed firm, the following being the last prices :
Tenessees, 911 to a ; Mi souris, 83/ to 84 ; Virginians, 941
to Id; Canton, 18/ to 19; Cumberland Preferred, 17;
New York Central, 711 to / ; Erie, 7/ to! ; Harlem, 101
to 11, ditto Preferred, 361 to 1 • Hudson River. 311 to 32.;
Reading, 461 to 1; Michigan Central, 44 to Michigan
Southern, 9 to ; ditto Preferred, 31/ to /; Panamas,
to 119; Illinois Central, 57 to 1; Galena and Chicago,
62/ to 63 ; Cleveland and Toledo, 261 to I ; Chicago
and Rock Island, 611 to 1; Illinois Central Bonds,
811 to 82 ; Pacific Mail, 83 to 1. We learn bY
telegraph from NI ashington that the Treasury receipts
last week were 920,000 dole. The amount subject to
draft is nearly 7,000,000 dole. The exchanges at the Bank
Clearing-house to-day were 22,467,602 dols., and the balances
1,447,377 dole. Money continues as easy as could be desired
by borrowers. A few of the private lenders have put the
rate up to the Bank standard, 5 per cent. ; but there is no
difficulty in borrowing any amount on good securities at 4.
Mercantile paper is so scarce that the competition for it
among leaders efectually prevents an advance in rates.
Foreign exchange is not quite so strong. We quote sterling
60-day bills (bankers) at 110 to 1101, the leading drawer
asking 1101 ; and francs at 5.10 to 11/. The Bremen, to-
morrow, will take out about 500,000 dole. ; and, as there is
no Cunard steamer from this port next week, it looks as
though the specie shipments, so much dreaded, were not
going to ruin the banks as yet.
COTTON.---The sales embraced about 700 to 800 bales,
closing on the basis of about 111 c. for middling uplands,
while some persons quote them at a fraction more. Dealers
were again anxiously waiting the receipt of another
steamer's news, which they expect will settle the question
whether war has been actually commenced.
BREADSTUFFS.—FIour.—The market for all the better
grades' continued firm, and generally closed at higher
rates, kwhile low and common grades were unchanged.
There was some abatement in the fever of speculation. The
sales footed up about 22,000 brls. Canadian flour was firm
but nominal. Southern flour was again firm and active,
The sales embraced about 7,000 bbls., with the above ad-
vanced range of quotations. Corn meal was steady and
prices unchanged. Wheat was again firm, with sales of
about 20,000 bushels, including white Kentucky at 2 dols.
to 2 dole. Bc. ; poor Wilwaukie club at 2 dols. 25c. ; fair
white Southern at 1 dol. 90c. ; red Western at 1 dol. 80c.
to 1 dol. 85e,, and inferior mixed at 1 dol. 65c. to 1 dol. 70c.
Corn was less buoyant, while the sales were about 31,000
bushels, including round yellow at 98c., prime Jersey yellow
at 1 dol., and Southern white at 941 c. to 95c. Rye was
quiet, but firmly held. Barley was steady, and about 3,000
bushels California were reported at p. t. Oats were in fair
.demand at 60c. to 61e. for State, and at 62c. to 63c. for
Canadian. _ _ . _ _ _

SIR JAMES GRAHAM AGAIN.—The onslaught of
Si James Graham on the Derby Government is destined to
be repulsed on every side. It will be remembered that, in
support of his charge of obtaining Roman Catholic support
on the ground of the Austrian loaning.of the Government,
he read a confidential letter from a Liverpool letter, pur-
porting to be written by the Secretary of the Roman Catho-
lic Bishop of Liverpool. The Weekly :Register is authorised
by the supposed writer himself, the Very Rev. Canon
Walker, to declare that letter a forgery.
