in nine days.
The American mail steamer Hermann arri-
we'd at Southampton on the 18th, from Bremen,
with 1870 passengers, for New York. She
was advertised to leave on Sunday morning,
the goth.
There was no prospect of any material
amendment in commercial affairs. Money
continued plentiful. On Friday, the 1871
Consols for money opened at 9O8, steadily ad-
vancing, and closing at GIG:
Pennsylvania State stocks sold in London
on the 10th at 80, being an advance. IT'S IS
the only description of American stocks men
toned in the English papers The chief de-
mand for American securities Is on German
account.
From the manufacturing districts generally
there is great complaint that the goods sent
may bring little or no profit whatever
England--The Canadian outbreak has
been fully debated in Parliament, and Lord
Elgin sustained.
1t is said that amendments TO the navigation
bill will be proposed, which may materially
change its character, if not prevent its final
passage.
Ireland.-All continues quiet in this coun-
try, unless it be the cries Of the suffering and
almost starving peasantry.
FrGnce.-The election for members of the
French Assembly took place on the 18th inst,
but the result is unknown. Returns have
been received from the city of Paris, where
nine Socialists and nineteen Moderates have
been returned.
The French army had not entered Rome, as
had been reported The Italian question had
been further discussed in the French Assem-
bly,, and the Ministers were again defeated,
by majority Of 38 1t appears from the de-
bate that no instructions to enter Rome had
been given to Gen. Oudinot. On the contra
ry, he was expected to remain at Civita Vec-
CHA, and TO march to the city only in case of
necessity. Upon this point, however, the Min
istry was said to be divided
1t is stated that the French government has
written to London, St. Petersburgh, Berlin,
and Vienna, strongly deploring the interference
of Russia in Hungarian affairs, saying it will
endeavor TO put stop to it by diplomatic
means, and, in case of failure, they will apply
to the National Assembly for advice
HungGry.-The fighting still goes on, and
the brave Hungarians continue 10 be success
full. They are said to be within few days
march of Vienna, to which the Russian army
is also Fastening.
Denmark.-The Danes have suffered anoth-
er defeat, and it is said have suffered the prof
fered mediation of England.
Germany-There have been renewed dis
turbances in various parts of Germany. Al
Frankfort the revolutionary movement is more
and more decided.
Rome-Pope Plus TX, on hearing Of the
resistance of the Romans to the French troops,
is said to have declared that he would not re-
turn to Rome at such price, and to have sent
a message in consequence TO the King OF Ma
pies and to Gen. Oudinot, 10 induce them tC
retire.
In the meantime the French general has
been reinforced by many thousand additional
troops.
He has now doubtless large and we'll ap-
pointed army under his command. But the
enthusiasm of the Romans is now at the high
est pitch, and if single or combined attempt
TO lombard and take Rome by storm should
be made, the defence Of the city by the means
of barrcades and the courage of the people
will be so we'll maintained, that the Austrians
are by no means certain Of success. All &C
counts concur that it will be impossible TO re
store the Imperial power of the Papacy, ir
any form.
We have now before US the most frightfu
details Of priests being dragged forth from
their hiding places, by the TouIore. and pu
to death, their bodies having been hacked into
the smallest pieces and cast into the Tiber.-
The combined powers of Europe will scarce
ly be able ever TO set up his Holiness again OF
the throne of the Vatican. The tide of feelin!
has overpowered him. The Romans seen
bent on excluding Sacerdotal and Pontifca
authority forever.
Intelligence by telegraph has been receives
from Gen. Oudinot, to the 9th inst. at which
time there was strong probability that tn
French troops would be permitted 10 ente
Rome without opposition In the General
dispatch he says serious propositions of sub
mission are made to me already, the anchor O
safety to the Romans The 900 prisoners a
Rome were accompanied to Palo with all pos
sbe demonstrations of Joy.

Liverpool Cotton Market, May 18th
accounts per the last steamer from New Yor
of the increased receip of cotton in America
ports, would have had the effect of depressin
the market, had not the accounts of the sever

same time, which had the effect to check tt
depression.
