SUMMARY OF THE NEWS.

was at Southampton, undergoing repairs to her
machinery. We learn that these repairs were pro-
crossing favoraby, and that she would be ready
to leave Southampton about the 10th of October,
with large freight and good many passengers
for this city.
The steamship Indus left Southampton docks
by the same time tide as the Hermann. She car
RED out to Alexandra the East India and China
mails, despatched by the British Government.
The steamship Cambria, Captain Harrlsoa, was
to leave Liverpool for Boston on Saturday, the 23d
September.
The Britannia, from Boston, arrived at Liver
poel at 3 A. M. on the 10th, but her advices had
not been published in London when the Hermann
sailed.
The Hermann has brought our regular files of
German, French and English papers of the latest
dates, as we'll as our usual dispatches from our
special correspondents in London, Liverpool, Pan'
and the continental cities, and we extract there
from hasty summary of the intelligence, which
is of considerable importance.
The position and state OF the disturbed districts
of Ireland were again exciting much attention In
England, as rebellion again appears to have
broken out in that unhappy island. Our
last adyices received by the America, re-
presented that the rebels, in strong force, were
occupying the Comeragh mountains In the county
of Waterford. Shortly after the departure OF the
America it appears the insurgent forces moved
from these mountains, and that force consisting
of portions of the Sd Bluffs, 4th Light Dragons,
and SD Regiment despatched in pursuit.
Mr.. o Mahony was nearly captured. The insur-
gents committed some excuses In the country
through which they passed. The main body had
broken I'D into small detachments, and 1t was sup
posed they would adopt system of Guerilla war
fare which would, of course be aitcularly harras
sing to the government troops, during the incement
winter season approaching. The Times cores
pondent, writing from Clonmel, stated that the
rebel army was under command OF SIX men, dress
ed in uniforms of green and gold.
The trade of Dublin very bad state,
arising from the continued agitatlons of Ireland
The latest accounts represent that although dis
tuIbances are expected at various points, yet no
actual collision between the rebels and the mill
tary or police had taken place.
Our accounts from Paris represent that that ca
pital was outwardy tranquil, although an under
current of extreme agitation and uneasness was
perceptlble arising principally from the elections.
Strange to say, Prince Louis Napoleon Bona
parties name was once more in the ascendant, and
IL was InOIt uidH Dhely TIC Wouiu uC CIcCtCu
for Paris The army had declared for him. and
\ his name headed the poll; The .fayortes were
4 Napoleon T.. Adam, Fould, the banker, Marshal
Bugeand, Deessert. 1t was supposed that the
Prince Louis, M. Achlle Fould, and Marshal
4 Bugeaud would be the successful candidates
General Cavalgnac was gradually declining IN
popularity, and his early fall from the dictatorship
of Paris is predicted by many of the English and
him. or what will soon take place Paris, is hard
q TO determine. he royaist party was strong IN
the provinces, where several minor dlstur Dances
had occurred. The socialist party in the
capital were gathering strength, and had
commenced public agitation again, by exhor-
tatons IN the streets and by the meeting OF
cubs-in truth of which, we notice that mob of
the red republicans took possession of the Bourse
and by main force, drove out a large meeting OF
moderate electors, who where congregated there.
This circumstance caused great excitement.
The National Assembly was still occupied In
discussing the new constitution.
The latest prices of the French Funds were as
follows Three per Cents, 4if. 75c.; Five per
Cents, 69f; 25c New. Loan, ut. Soc,
Our Italian news Is of considerable interest.
\ After the city of Messina had been bombarded for
n five DAYS ky the Neapotan troops, it surrendered.
\ The Neapolian troops landed and took possession
N of the town, when the inhabitants Immediately
IT retired, having previously mined it. They then
|N sprung the mines, and large number of Neapoll-
tan soldiers were blown into the air with the burn
|A ing ruins. Property to immense amount was
I'M destroyed during the bombardment; The city of
~
were animated by spirit OF resistance towards
the Neapotans most uncompromslng. 1t is
stated that the success of the King OF Naples, In
gaming possession of Messina is only temporary
advantage, and there is no doubt his forces will
soon be driven ont of the island as Its conquest is
II held TO be impossible.
Al Vienna, on the 18th Sept, trade was entirely
stagnant. Great anxiety was felt regarding Hun
gary, and it was supposed dictator would be APP
pointed at Pesth. The Croatians had gained a
n succession of brilliant victories the Hunga-
mans, and the latter had sent depuatlon demand
n ing assistance from the Austr an Government,
which was, however little inclined to favor the
8pretensions OF the Hungarlans Some few dis
Hfurbances had taken place in Vienna, but the five
Nrer cents nevertheless, remained steady at ~.
X The Austrlo-Talian question remained in stafu
Mopo and il was much feared, both IN Paris and
M ondon, that il would not be practically settled.
.MNeiher King Charles Albert nor the Austrian 60
k&yemment were willing to make the slightest con-
Xcossion and hence 1t was more than probable that
Xhe conclusion OF the armlstce would be the
