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 Tapseott, 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 aud 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 :
Teneseees, 911 to 1 ; NH souris, 831 to 81 ' • Virgituana, 941
to Id ; Canton, 18} to 19; Cumberland Preferred, 17;
New York Central, 71} to 1; Erie. it to ; Harlem, 101
to 11, ditto Prefentsl, 361 to I ; Hudson liver. 311 to 32 ;
Reading, 461 tot ; Michigan Central, 421 to 1 ; Michigan
Southern, 91 to a ; ditto Preferred, 311 to f ; Panamas,
to 119; Illinois Central, 57 to I ; Galena and Chicago,
621 to 63 ; Cleveland and Tole4lo, 26/ to I ; Chicago
and Rock Island, 61/ to 1; Illinois Central Bonds,
811 to 82; Pacific Mail, 8.3 to 1. We learn by
telegraph from M ashington that the Treasury receipts
last week were 920,000 doh'. The amount subject to
draft is nearly 7,000,000 dol.. The exchanges at the Bunk
Clearing-house to-day were 22,467,502 dok, and the balances
1,447,377 doll. 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 fur it
among leaders effectually prevents an advance in rates.
Foreign exchange is net quite so strong. Wo quote sterling
GO-day bills (bankers) at 110 to 110 , the leading drawer
.1
asking 1101 • and francs at 5
'.lO to 11k. The Bremen, to-
morrow, will take out about 500,000 do m.; 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.—Tho sales embraced about 700 to 800 bales,
closing on the basis of about 111 e. for middling uplands,
while seine persons quote them at a fraction more. Dealers
were again anxiously waiting the reeeita of another
steamer's news, which they expect will settle the question
whether war has been actually commenced.
BILY.ADSTUFPA.—FiOnr.—The market for all the better
grades continued firm, and generally closed nt higher
rates, while low and common grades were unehaerd.
There was some abatement in the fever of speculation. The
autos footed up about '22,000 brls. Canadian flour was firm
but nominal. Southern flour was again firm and active,
The sales embraced about 7,0)0 bbls., with the above ad-
vanced range of quotations. Corn meal was steady and
prieee unchanged. Wheat was again firm, with sales of
about 20,000 bushels, including white Kentncky at 2 dots.
to 2 dols. Sc.; poor Wilwaukm club at 2 Dols. 2.5 c.; fair
white Southern at 1 dol. 90e. ; red Western at 1 dol. 80c.
to 1 dol. 8.5 e., and inferior mixed at 1 dol. 6.5 c. to 1 dol. 70e
Corn was less buoyant, while the sakes were about 31,000
bushels, including round yellow at 93e., prime Jersey yellow
at 1 dol., and Southern white lit 91!... to 9.5 c. Rye WAS
quiet, but firmly hold. Betios 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 62e. to 63c. for
Canadian.

FttP.utilis.—To Liverpool, 100 tierces beef were engaged
at 2K , 200 brls. pork nt Is. Gd., and 50 tons dead weight nt
100., 170 tierce?' lard at 20s. to 2'2s. Gd., 400 Ink perk nt

SIR JAMES GRAHAM AOAIN.—The onslaught of
Sir Jallleil Graham on the Derby Govenunent 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 leaning of the Government,
he reud a confidential letter from a Liverpool letter, pur-
porting to be written by the Secretary of the Roman Calm •
lic Bishop of Liverpool. The Weekly Itrqister is authorised
btr the auPposed writer himself, the Very Rev. Canon
N 'nlker, to declare that letter a forgery.
