BosroN, Wednesday, June ID.
We were completely surprised this morning bv
the unexpected arrival of the steamer America of
the Cunard Line. She sailed from Lverpool nm
the Ord inst, and has thus made the passage from
shore to shore in the unprecedented short period of
ten days She brings seven days. later news than
that brought by the Acadia, and her intelligence is
OF fresh agi,ations and excitement.
ENGLAND.-There have been a number of arm
ed assemblages throughout the Kingdom, i'm def
ance Of the prohibitions and direct efforts of the
Government to prevent them. The Chartists and
Repealers have met at different places, and were
addressed by speakers in the most ncendiary Ian
9uage. When at last the authorities had attempt
ed to Interfere, they were met with unyieding op
position, and serious riots ensued. This state of

element, less apprehension had been felt for the
result.
The determination of the Assembly TO break
down the system Of organized labor has created
much dissatisfaction and resentment among the la
boring classes. Emile Thomas, who succeeded
Louis Blanc in the administration of the National
workshops, has been superseded in office, and. on
account Of suspicious conduct, sent under guard 70
Bordeaux. The workmen became much excited
at this. and demanded his return and restoration
but the national guard had succeeded in preserving
order.
Blanqui, one of the prime movers of the late
disturbance, has been again arrested, and this time
secured. The implication of Louis Blanc in the
same affair has been fully established, and the au
thorliies have asked the Chamber to grant them
authority TO punish him, without which they could
not proceed, he being member Of their body

their difficulties. The terms of the arrangement are
