FOREIGN NEWS.

FRANCE.—The funeral of Monsignore Garibaldi, the
Pope's Nuncio, took place on Tuesday, at Notre Dame.
Lord Cowley acted as chief mourner. having on his right
Mgr. Vecchiotti, now Charge d'Affaires of the Holy See,
and on his left the Abbe secretary. The Emperor
was represented by several of his household. [lt must
have been a gratifying sight to witness the representative
of Queen Victoria, as the first to do honour to the obse-
quies of a Papal Nuncio.]
The greatest activity prevails in the dockyard at Cher-
bourg, where the Austerlitz, mixed line of battle ship of
100 guns, and the Alceste, 52 gun frigate, are being got
ready for sea.
On Thursday a telegraphic message was received at
Calais, from Paris, to secure every sailor under forty years
of age, and who had not already served four years in the
French navy. The men were ordered to be sent to Brest
immediately. Several fishhlg-boats, having been deprived
of their crews, have been dragged on shore.

PRUSSIA.—It is believed that Prussia will evade com-
mitting herself to either side of the Turkish question.
She does not lose her claim to position among the greater
Powers by saying nothing on the subject ; but her note to
London and St. Petersburgh is very inconclusive, for
while she by no means holds out that she sides with France
and England, she, at the same time, does not approve
Russia's measures, and declines to become a party to an
alliance of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, in the matter in

uestion.

ken province

SPAIN.—The streets of Madrid are thronged by tr
►d:, of the poor peasantry, who are pct
pital by thousands, from the famine-str

of Galicfa. The government has voted 4,000,000 reak for
their immediate relief ; but this is insufficient for the sup-
ply of their immediate wants even, and their distress is
absolutely appalling. Hundreds have died from starvation
and exposure to the inclemency of the weather.

TURKEY.—An important document, signed by "Count
Nesselrode," has been transmitted to the representatives
of Russia at each foreign court. The following is the sub-
stance of it :—" Count Nesselrode expressly declares that
Prince Menschikoff's mission had no other object than the
arrangement of the disputes relative to the Holy Places ;
that the blame and responsibility of the present ferment
must be attributed to the claims put forth by France, and
the concessions obtained by her ambassador, to the detri-
ment of those who profess the Greek faith and to the ad-
vantage of those who profess the Roman Catholic faith ;
that the Sultan, on being remonstrated with, solemnly
promised to guarantee all the rights hitherto enjoyed by
the Greek church ; and that, moreover, the Sultan for-
warded an autograph Hatti-scheriff, with a firman to that
effect ; that the Czar accepted this promise, but soon
found reason to regret having misplaced his confidence,
owing to the duplicity and tergiversation of the Ottoman
Cabinet, when called upon to put the firman into execu-
tion ; that the Turkish authorities at Jerusalem first denied
any knowledge of the existence of such a document, but
when constrained to promulgate it by the Russian Consul,
they accompanied its promulgation by insults to the Greek
Church ; the firman, the solemn promise, was flagrantly
violated by the bestowal of the key of the Church of Beth-
lehem upon the Latin or Papist Patriarch, and the Sultan
thus acknowledged the supremacy of another Church
than that which included the majority of his Christian
subjects. This shameless, faithless conduct was ag-
gravated by the insulting tone of decision assumed by
the Turkish Cabinet; and the Czar, wounded in his reli-
gious feelings, felt bound to demand signal satisfaction."
In conclusion, it says :—" if the rejection of the last
means of conciliation we propose to solve the difficulties
raised against us in the affair of the Holy Places should
lead to complications which may break the peace, it is not
on our shoulders that the responsibility for such events
would rest."

The English and French fleets are in Besika Bay. The
Porte is making great efforts to place itself in a state of
defence. The entrance of the Bosphorus is protected by
the presence of the whole of the Ottoman fleet. The
forts, which command the passage, are armed, and it was
in contemplation to establish two camps, one on the
heights of the village of Buyukdere, and the other, to be
composed of the regiments of the guard, in the plain of
Haidar-Pacha, near Scutari, in Asia.
The Porte has declined the offers of services received
from Hungarian, Italian, and Polish refugees in the event
of a war with Russia, having decided on receiving assist.
ance only from English or French soldiers who have re-
ceived permission from their respective governments.
The events at Constantinople have produced a profound
sensation throughout Arabia. The numbers of pilgrims
that are assembled at Mecca and all the native tribes wait
but for the signal to commence the war. Religious fana-
ticism has reached the highest point.
By a telegraphic despatch from Constantinople, of the
16th inst., we learn that the ultimatum of Russia has been
finally rejected by the Porte. The note which informed
the Russian government of this determination was com-
municated by Redschid Paella to M. Balabine, secretary
to the Russian Embassy, and only remaining representa-
tive of Russia at Constantinople. The note, which is in
great part a recapitulation of the previous notes of the
Turkish government, re-states the reasons of the Sultan
for refusing his consent to any formal act, whether treaty,
convention, or "capitulations," which would sacrifice his
independence, by binding him to engagements, not in
favour of foreign residents, but of Turkish subjects ; and
by according to another power the right of interference
between him and his people. At the same time, whilst
firmly rejecting the ultimatum of Russia, the Porte ex-
presses its conviction that the Emperor's motives cannot
be otherwise than loyal ; and to prove the high estimation
in which she holds the character of the Czar Nicholas,
and the truth of her belief in the sincerity of his friend.
ship, she offers to send a special envoy to St. Petersburgh,
who' shall open fresh negotiations.

RUSSIA.—On the 12th the Emperor again visited the
harbour of Cronstadt, to inspect the Baltic fleet there con-
centrated. Owing to the extensive purchases of grain for
the supply of the Russian fleet and army, the prices have
risen considerably.

From Vienna, under date June 19, we learn that the
Russian troops have not yet crossed the Pruth, but that
the delay is owing to the insurmountable obstacles thrown
in their way, by the overflowing of the Lower Danube,
and all other rivers in those parts. The plains are trans-
formed into lakes, and the mouths of the rivers are so
encumbered with sand, that the commander of the flotilla
has declared, that the passage would be attended with the
greatest dangers.

AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA

By the British and North American Royal Mail steam.
ship Arabia, Commodore Judkins, which arrived here on
Saturday forenoon, we have advices from New York to
the Isth instant.
By this voyage, which is the fastest ever made across
the Atlantic, the palm of superiority now rests with the
Cunard line. The Arabia sailed from New York at 0 35
p.m. on the 15th, and at 5 55 p.m. passed the royal mail
steam-ship Asia, hence for New York. On the 25th, at
9 55 p.m., she passed the Bell Buoy ; at 10 34 a.m. saluted
the Rock Light, and at 10 42 a.m. passed the Landing-
stage, having made the run in 9 days 17 hours and 11
minutes. The quickest previous run was by the United
States mail steam-ship Arctic. She sailed from New
York at noon on the 7th February, 1852, and passed the
Landing-stage at 10 22 a.m. on the 17th, having made the
run in 9 days 17 hours and 26 minutes mean time,—thus
showing a difference in favour of the Arabia of fifteen
minutes over the fastest passage ever previously made.
This passage is also 3 hours and 39 minutes faster than
the best run of the Pacific ; 8 hours and 24 minutes faster
than the best run of the Baltic ; and 8 hours and 4
minutes faster than the best run of the Atlantic. It is
also 1 hour and 45 minutes quicker than the best westerly
run ever made.

The Arabia brought 165 passengers, and 43118,-914 in
specie. _

The United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Capt. Nye,
which sailed hence on the Ist, arrived at New York at 2
p.m. on the 12th instant.
The screw-steamer City of Manchester sailed from Phi-
ladelphia for this port on the 11th, with 160 passengers
and $20,000 in specie.
The steamer Texas had arrived at New Orleans from
Vera Cruz with $126,000 in specie.
The steamer Illinois had arrived at New York from San
Francisco with =8'1,111,300 in gold dust.
The latest accounts from Washington state that Mr.
Buchanan was expected to leave for London next month.
Mr. Vroom had sigrified to the President his acceptance
of the mission to Prussia.

One hundred and thirty-nine of the rescued passengers
f:om the William and Mary had arrived at New Orleans
in a destitute condi::on. A fire had occurred at New
York, on the 12th, in the vicinity of the Atlantic Dock,
involving a loss of 5300,000. The trial of Captain Ma-
loney, of the ship Roscius, for the murder of a seaman
on the high seas, had terminated in a vc:dict of acquit:al.
It is stated that the Navy Department at Washington de-
sign to institute a professorship of dancing in the Naval
Academy, at Washington, that accomplishment being
looked uport abroad as essential to the interchange of
civilities. The celebrated Californian ship Sovereign of
the Seas was on the berth for this port, and would sail as
soon as hands could be got to man her.
The Gavazzi excitement still contiuued at Montreal.
On the 12th a mob demolished all the windows of St.
Stephen's Church, situate in the suburbs. Three more
of those who were wounded at the time of the attack had
died. It was reported that Gavazal was to return on the
15th, and conclude his lectures.
Accounts from the r:ty of Mexico to the 4th instant re-
present that country in a deplorable state. Conflicts were
daily taking place between the soldiers of the garrisons,
police-agents, and citizens. A body of sixty robbers had
entered the town of Lagos, liberated the prisoners, 250 in
number, and carried away property to the value of 530,000
or 440,060. The inhabitants, numbering 8.000, made no
resistance. Sixty deaths by vomit° were reported at Vera
Cruz on the 7th. The new tariff of Santa Anna was said
to be higher than that of 1845, and was expected to prove
very unsatisfactory. Cotton goods are in future to pay 6
cents per yard. The tobacco monopoly was to he taken
f:om private hands, and administc:ed by the government.
Havana advices of the Bth instant state that heavy rains
had occurred, and the yellow fever was very prevalent.
Smallpox had made its appearance at Matanzas. Sugar
firm, and shipping scarce, which retarded business. The
stock of sugar amounted to 21.)0,900 boxes. Exchange on
London 101 to 104 premium.

COMMERCIAL I NTELLIG LNCI

New York, June 15

MoNEv.—Adccided tendency towards greater ease is ap-
parent. The supply of fl,:at:r4 capital inc.-eases, and 6 per
cent. is now the outside rate for loans "on call." Leading
paper discounts readily at seven per cent. Notwithstand-
ing this favourah:e feature, the stock market cont.:alms,
generally, quite inanimate. Foreign exchanges are rather
dull. The closing quotations are :—Bills on London, 91
to 9 re-: cent. prern ; Paris, &c., f. 5.121 to f. 5.131,
days, and f. 5.10 to f. 5.114, short sight ; Hamburgb, 36A

COTTON.—The market has been very dull for the
three days, the aspect of the political affairs abroad ha'
produced a pause in opera!:ons. Some sales

made at to t cent. decline, but holders generally are d
posed to want further development.% aid Inter ad ices

The Courier and Inquirr, of the 15th inst., says :
" From the south we have received nothing since our last
of an exciting character, but confirmations of previous
advices of still decreasing receipts and exports. Excess
in receipts down to 223,000, and in export to Great Britain
31,000. We do not alter our quotations last advised, as,
although nominal for all grades below ' good middling,'
they are still the rates at which cotton is firmly held and
sparingly offered. To sell, however, in quantity, holders
would be compelled to concede +c. from the ruling quota-
tions, while an advance of Id. per Asia, next due, would
renew the demand and re establish the market."

BREADSTUFFS.-With moderate receipts we have bad
a steady market for flour, and rather higher rates have
been paid. In shipping qualities, the advance amounts
to 61-c. per barrel. Wheat continues in demand, and the
price tends upwards. Indian corn is without material
change in value.

PROVISIONS.—Owing to temporary light receipts of
western pork, prices of mess have advanced 121 c., but
the other descriptions have not varied ; there is, however,
a fair demand. Beef has been in better request, part for
export to Liverpool, and though still plenty, prices of the
better grades have improved 14c. to 25c.
SALT.—An invoice of 501 sacks Bromilow's Liverpool
fine, just received, has been sold at Sl 44c., 4 mos. The
other parcels Liverpool arrived were sold previously.
NAVAL STORES.—SaIes have been made of 500 barrels
of spirits of turpentine at 42 cents. There is nothing
doing in rough turpentine, and the prices are nominal.
IRON.—There has been mere doing in Scotch pig,
several hundred tons here and to arrive having changedt
hands, chiefly at S'2B to £2B 50c., and in some incazesn
at =B'29, 6 mos. More, however, is generally asked.
FREIGHTS, to Liverpool, have been very active, and
the engaeements large, at the following rates :—Cotton,
1.1. to 0.321. per lb. ; flour, 2s. per bbl. ; grain, in bulk,
5(1. to sd. per bushel. To London, flour, 2s. per bbl.
To Ilavre. cotton, ?fc. per lb.
New ORLEANS, JUNE 13.—The advices per Pacific
have had no effect upon our cotton market. The day's
sales have been 2,000 bales, at previous rates. The stock
in this port is now 112,000 bales. Tobacco : 700 hhds.
have been sold at a decline of lc. from the highest point.
Sterling exchange is dull. Freights to Liverpool are
quoted at -id. per lb. for cotton.
ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC.
By the United States mail steam-ship Atlantic, CaPt-
WrAt, we have advices from New York to the 11th inst.
She brought 207 passengers, and 306,553 dollars in specie.
Her Majesty's frigate Leander arrived at New York on
the 10th, from Plymouth, with Lord Ellesmere and suite
on board.

The Illinois sailed from San Francisco on the 16th,
with =81,600,C00 in gold dust.

Dreadful riots had occurred at Quebec and Montreal,
on the occasion of Father Gavazzi's lectures. He lec-
tured on the 6th at Quebec, and many persons were
injured by the mob. Father Gavazzi was himself thrown
out of the pulpit, and received a severe cut on the head,
and another on the face. On the 9th he gave a lecture
at Montreal. The Romanist portion of the community
became furious, the military were called out, and were
ordered to fire on the mob, when seven persons were
killed, six mortally injured, and ten severely wounded.
Telegraphic accounts state that there was great excite-
ment at Montreal on the 10th.

The steamers El Dorado and Prometheus had arrived
at New York from San Francisco, the former with
*688,792, and the latter with $500,000 in gold dust.

FOREIGN MISCELLANY.

THE TOBACCO PLANT, in the United States, has been
badly injured by the fly, and is very scarce.

NEGROES are pouring out of Tennessee to New York,
there to embark for Liberia, in the charge of Presby-
terian and Methodist parsons.

Mu. BRADAN, a printer, of Zanesville, Ohio, died lately
in consequence of the habit of putting type into his mouth
while working at case.

D JEws.—A German traveller has discovered a race
of negroes near the kingdom of Bambara, that are Jews in
their religious rites and observances.

MADAME SONTAG, it is said, will retire to private life
after the completion of her American tour, having realized
about £60,000 in the United States, and, during the
same time, distributed 5`6,000 in private charities.

A BOMBAY PAPER says that three European children,
who are supposed to he the survivors of the crew of some
wrecked ship, have been seen at the Nicobar Islands by
the crew of the ship Colonel Burney.

PROVISIONS IN GERMANY.—Letters from all parts
complain of the high price of provisions, which they at-
tribute to the large and increasing demand for the English
markets.

Two STALKS OF COTTON, twelve feet high, and one
of them producing 403 bolls, were pinked up the other
day in Madison county, Miss., U.S. They are to be
shown at the World's Fair, as the New York exhibition
that is to be is called.

AN AMERICAN BAPTIST PREACHER, Washington
Carroway, fifty years old, in a city of Hyde County, U.S.,
has shot a man named Lassiter, who had interfered to
prevent Carroway's wife being murdered by her infuriated
husband a few days previously.

HUMAN BODIES have been found in certain caves in the
state of Tennessee, U.S.. with the lower limbs dislocated
at the knee joints. In Kentucky similar remains were
found 40 years ago. It is supposed to have been the
general practice of the people in bygone ages, whoever
they were.

A NEW GOLD FIELD.—A new gold field is about to be
made known. The Mercurio of Valparaiso, of the 19th
April, contains an interesting article on recent gold dis-
coveries in the Peruvian territory. The territory is in the
hands of the Chuncho Indians. It i 3 considered that these
regions will surpass in wealth the gold fields of Australia
and California.

A " MEDIUM" IN AMERICA.—II is related that Mrs.
Sarah Tamlin, of Auburn, U.S., was an excellent
" medium" for a couple of years ; but, after her accouche-
ment, she ceased to hear the sounds ! But they attended
and followed her infant. A Professor Miller called when
the child was 6 months old, and it is said got an inter.
view, through the baby, with La Place, and thus solved
several mathematical problems. Bah

HIRANI SANDERS, of Ashippum, Dodge County, Wis-
consin, U.S., is supposed to have murdered in cold blood
a youth named Edwin Blinds, from Oswego, who, against
his will, was courting the daughter of Sanders. Sanders
is in gaol, awaiting his trial. Poor Bunda went to invite
his lover to a ball, and he was never seen to return from
the house, nor has he been seen since.

THE BLASPHEMY which hangs upon the tongue of many
American speakers is truly horrible. At the Abolition
Convention, in Boston, some days ago, Mr. Henry C.
Wright said he was " An atheist in anything which sanc-
tioned slavery." " I would put my heel," he continued,
" upon any government which sanctioned slavery. If God
sanctioned slavery I would put my heel upon him. Yes,
I would refuse to obey such a God. I would put such a
God upon the auction block, and sell him like a beast."
ANTI-SLAVERY IN FRANCE.—A Paris correspondent
states that as Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was driving out
the other day with her host, (the well-known advocate,
Jules Fare,) and hostess, the gentleman was suddenly
arrested by the police, and all persons subsequently com-
ing to see him at his house are watched and taken into
custody. The protestant journal, the Lien, also an-
nounces that Uncle Tom's Cabin has been placed in the
index of forbidden books.
FIRE IN THE Woons.—An extensive fire has been
raging in the woods on the Ottawa River, north of By-
town, Canada. A district sixty miles in length and forty
broad has been desolated, and fences, bridges, houses,
and mills been consumed, and cattle and flocks, and even
human lives, been destroyed. Very many sawmills and
gristmills have been burnt, and about two hundred fami-
lies have been rendered houseless. A heavy rain stopped
the fire.

A DREADFUL FIRE, occurred on Thursday at Batig.
nolles, at the entrep6t of the Rouen Railway. So rapid
was its progress, that out of forty-seven horses in the
stables, thirty-eight perished in the flames, and the
shrieks of agony and struggles of the poor fettered animals
are said to have been almost as afflicting as though they
had been human beings. Twelve hundred pipes of wine
and a prodigious quantity of brandy and other merchan-
dise, were consumed by this occurrence.

INDIAN POSTAGE.—A. secret worth knowing ! How to
avail yourselves of the cheap book postage in India. If
you send a half-pound book from Calcutta to Lahore by
" dawk banghy," under the most liberal Indian rules it
will cost you in the conveyance 13 annas. If money is a
greater object with you than time, send your book to a
friend in England, Scotland, or Ireland, at the charge of
four annas, and let him re-direct it to Lahore, whither it
will go for four annas more. Thus the book is carried
some 12,000 miles for eight annas, and you save five
annas by the process.—Hurkaru.

CLERIC AL LONGEVITY. The Hampshire (Mass.)
Gazette gives the following instances of clerical and
family longevity :—Rev. Solomon Williams, father of
Hon. Eliphalet Williams, of Northampton, preached his
half century sermon in Northampton • Hon. Eliphalet
Williams' grandfather preached his half century sermon
in East Hartford, Conn. ' • Rev. Solomon Williams, great-
grandfather, preached his half century sermon in Leba-
non, Conn. ; and Rev. William Williams, great-great-
grandfather, preached his half century sermon in Hat-
field, Mass.
ACQUISITION OF AN INDIAN COTTON DISTRICT.—The
Nizam has decided upon ceding to the British Govern-
ment the territ u.y which it demanded of him in lieu of his
debt and stipulated annual payment to the contingent.
The terms of the agreement are certainly favourable to
his highness. In consideration of a rcvLaue of 36 lees of
rupees (.£360,000,) being given up, the English gr,vc.:ll.,
meat foregoes debt due by the Nizarn, and re-
mits an annual payment of 10 lacs (-£400,000). The newly-
ceded district (Berar) is a continuation of the valley of
Kandeish; it immediately adjoins the company's collect-
orates of Kandeish and Ahme,:nugger, and is the richest
cotton district in India.
UNCLE TOMITUDES.—So far, says the Albany Even-
ing Paper, as the condition of American slaves and the
hopes of American emancipation are concerned, nothing
could be more unfortunate and ill-timed than Mrs.
Stowe's visit to England. Her book was quietly but

. . -
surely working out a mighty moral and social change on
the slavery question all over the world. But the Euro-
pean visit will create and stimulate counteracting in-
fluences. The English nobility, press, and people will
utter and publish so much that is arroeant and offensive,
that an American sentiment azainst British interference
will be aroused and united. We may not like slavery,
and our course in respect to slavery may be wrong ; but

_ as no right either to lecture or reproach us.
Our slavery is an inheritance. We received it from
England. We have struggled hard for emancipation.
One-half of the states of the Union are free. But if we
are to hope for anything more, Englishmen must let us
alone. Our people, however ill we use the red and the
black races, will not brook reproof from a nation that intro.
duced slavery here, and has deluged, and is deluging a
largo portion of the world in blood to subiect Ii dia IQ a
bondage worse than our slavery.
