There is little in the way of local news in the
papers. The session of the Chambers has clos
ed, and the new elections will take place OH
the lst of August.
A Fleet for The Gulf of Merico. From HoL-
LAND, we learn, that fearing the hostilities be-
tween the United States and Mexico, may be
injurious to the Dutch commerce, the Govern
ment has ordered naval division to proceed to
the United States, and from thence, if necessa-
ry, to the Mexican coast to protect their mer-
chants and their property. The division was
to set sail from Flashing on the lst of july
On the same day another division was to 90 to
Southern America, and subsequently to Bata-
via.
Emigration from Germany Emigration to
the United States is going on most extensively.
Ia some places the greater part of the inhabi-

have gone en- masse. The desire for emigration
is still raging, to such an extent, that farmers

lTALV.-Milan, June 20.-The election of
the Pope was made with much greater dispatch
than was anticipated, having been got over in
48 hours. None of the foreign cardinals had
time to be present The choice of the Con-
clave fell on Cardinal Mastai Feretti, who was
accordingly proclaimed the 259th successor of
st. Peter, under the name of Plus TX. He is
one of the youngest cardinals ever elected to
the Papacy, being only Sd years of age. He
possesses high character for pety, virtue, and
talent, and is said TO be one of the most liberal
and enlightened men of Italy.
The Free Church Of Scotland and The United
States. There is, at present, considerable ex-
citement among the lay members of the Free
Church of Scotland, as to the propriety of re-
tanning subscriptions given by citizens of Amer
lea, in aid of the funds of that body. The
cause assigned is, that the money has been
given by shareholders, and those who counte-
nance slavery, as thing not in itself sinful, and
that, therefore, it is an unholy contribution,
and would stain the purity of their good cause
At first there arose faint murmurings of discon-
tent, then we heard notes of disapprobation
still more loud and deep, and latterly there has
burst forth perfect hurricane of Indignation.
The cry now is, "Give back the money-give
back the money" This is the watchword at
pubic meetings and professions. 1t meets the
ears OF iree-church clergymen at every turn.
In fact, the atmosphere of Scotland is full of
one universal roar of "Give back the money!"
