Arrival of the Washington.
This noble vessel left Southampton for New
York on July 10Th, at 3 p. NJ, but before she
reached The Needles, il was found that the fur
mace bars were partially destroyed. They were,
however, replaced with new ones, which in Turn
became affected; and il became evident that il
would be unsafe 10 continue lhe:voyagc. She ac-
cordingiy pul back to Southampton, where she
arrived al half past3 P. NJ. on Sunday, tie H..
She leil again on Thursday, he 18Th, and ar
rived here after Il passage OF fourteen days and a
lew hou,s.
We proceed 10 give a synopsis Of her news.
The Cambria from Boston arrived 4, Liver
pool on The 18Th inst:
Ii is stated that France is secretly concentrating
forces on The frontiers OF Spain, for some unex-
planned purp Sc. InlIisues are actively going on
al Madrid.
The Dublin and provincial journals continue
TO express their as!onishment al the declaration
OF Lord Russell respecting The Irish potato crop,
and deny lis correctness. The young potatoes
which have appeared in the market ale OF good
favor, mealy and sound
The French capital continues occupied in the
trials arising ont Of The late ministerial discio-
sures, and the opinion, especially amongst the
enemies OF Nj. Guizot, has gained ground that
sutfcen, evidence will be adduccd 10 crminale
NJ Te,,e. and his con.edcrales NJ. Pellapta, one
OF the accused has absccnded from Paris, and
this throws additional suspicion over The case; the
friends OF M. Tcs;c are, however, confident Of
his honorable acquit,al. Gen. Bedeau, hitherto
Governor Of Constantine, i'll Algeria, is appoint
ed Governor General ad interim OF the colony
The last accounts now stale mat lhe government
hope 10 postpone the necessity OF loan until
next session.
The quarterly revenue returns OF Great bri.
rain are highly satisfactory, considering The se-
neral arrangement Of trade during The last three
months, and the greatly diminished employment!
in our main branches OF manufacturing INDUS
,ry. The decreased consumption OF cotton WOOL
amounting 10 10000 bales weekly, has, however,
been compensated, when viewed with regard 10
the amount Of labor employed in lis manuac-
lure, by The additional occupation afforded by Inc
railways now in progress. Indeed, WIN the eA.
ceplon of a slight decrease in the Customs OF
fi272 or The quarter, there is comparative in
crease on The total revenue Tor the year OF no less
Than + 1904 ,O2G. All the permanent, sources OF
revenue exhibit favorable increase.
The amount arising from reduced sugar duties
furnishes the most satisfactory proofs Of the fiscal
advantages OF low duties. Indeed, il is mainly
from This source that the increase on the year IS
derived. The sum expended on railways, which
amounts 10 nearly 100000 during The last six
months. and the vast amount OF money which has
been advanced to The Irish people, large portion
OF which has been expended on commodities,
which, being subject 10 customs or excise duties,
return 10 The Golfers Of The State, fully account
for the general favorable appearance OF the reve-
nue..
The second reading of The Navigation Bill
having been consented 10 in the llonse Of Com
| mons without division, the Navigation Laws
NAV be considered virtually suspended, as We
have already stated, until March, 1913.
