The express for the associated press made the
run to Granville Point in less than nine hours; blu
the progress of the steamer across the bay was so
exceedingly slow tina it was found impossible to

THE NEWS.
LIVERPOOL, May rs, 1919.
The same feeling of duness that has pervaded
commerce for several weeks past. continues to
exist, and the probability of change for the better
seems even further removed than ever. The Lon
don money market remains easy, and English funds
continue to be well sustained. Consols were done
on Monday at 81 and closed, on Friday evening,
at 9lk. The returns from the Bank of England, as
compared with previous returns, exhibit slight
increase of bullion. There is considerable bust
ness doing in London in American stocks. United
States six per cents, as well the better class Of
State securities are Pennsylvania quoted
| at 70 to 81; New York fives, &C.
There has been no further discussion of Cana
dian affairs in Parliament, and it Is doubtful if any
will take place, the impression seems generally
to prevail that, having free constitutional Par
lament, the Canadians are quite capable Of settling
their own affairs. There does not appear to be any
reason to doubt but that the English government
will sustain every act of Lord Elgn's admlnistra-
ton.
In the House of Lords, on Monday, Lord Stanley
made an elaborate speech in opposition to the bill
for the repeal of the navigation laws Several
amendments were offered, which were rejected by
decisive majorities. On the final vote in commit
tee the ministry increased their late majority Of
| ten to thirteen.
| Political affairs on the Continent exhibit no inn
provement. Indeed, the danger and probability.of
a general European war, appears to be more lmmi-
nent now than at any previous time during the past
year.
THE ATTEMPT TO AssAssINATE QUEEN VICTORIA.
Another pistol has been fired at Queen Victoria;
but fortunately without any injurious conse-
quences. The criminal, in the present instance, is
a stupid Irshman, who, as the pistol contained
only POWDER seems to have had no other object in
view than to obtain notoriey
The French Republic.
The recent elections in France have resulted in
favor of the socialists and red republicans, to tar
greater extent than was anticipated They will
muster about 2i0 strong, against about twice this
number, who, though composed of parties and Sec
tons of parties entertaining opinions the very OPP
posite Of each other, are considered friends of
order. The effect of this result Of the elections
upon the banks and public funds is unfavorable.
From the highest to the lowest point. the public
stocks fell thirteen per cent. At the latest dates
they had slightly recovered; and Five per Cents,
on the 24th were quoted at Slf &c., and Three
per Cents at 52f
Nothing has been arranged in regard to the
change of ministry; but it was supposed that inn
mediately after the new Assembly come together,
Marshal Bugeaud would be called upon to form
new cabinet. 1t is as yet uncertain who will
fill the subordinate posts, but 1t is probable
that M Leon Faucher will be Minister of Finance,
and that M. Falloux will remain in his present post
In the recent election the name of M Ledru
Rollin stands second on the poll-that of Murat
being before his, from accidental circumstances
The most furious socialists are elected whilst La
MARITIME, Marast, Arago, Dupont de fEure, Marie,
which caused the revolution of February, are
thrown out. The contest for power now hes be-
tween the red republicans and the men of the
raj parties-the Legitimiss, the Oreanists and the
Bonapartists. The moderate republicans have no
local standing in France.
The Crsaire pledges itself for the truth of re-
port OF the speech made by one of the socialist
members. for Paris, IN which he said that the
boWgeoisie had fattened like hogs on the meat of
the people, and should, like hogs, be killed to
make bacon OF for those on whom they fed. After
this we may credit the expression attributed to an
ex-king, "we are marching to cannlbalsm."
grand review of the garrisons tf Paris took
place on Monday, in the Champs de Mars, by the
President, whose reception by 100, 900 troops was
of the most enthusiastic description. Hearty
shouts of Vire Louis Napoleon, welcomed him on
almost unheard and feeble cries of Viue la Repnb.
ttqus The weather was beautiful, and there was
an immense concourse OF persons to witness the
splendid spectacle, the whole of which passed off
with the greatest ecdf.

EXCITING DEBATES IN THE FRENCH CHAMBER OF
DEPUTIEs.l
In the French Assembly, the affairs of Rome and
Hungary being under consideration, a debate
arose, which Is described as the most exciting and
violent that has ever been witnessed. Propositions
for an immediate declaration of war against Russia
and Austria were urged by several speakers, which
were subsequently modified by the adoption of a
resolution proposed by General Cavaignac, recon-
mendlng government to adopt energetic measures
toproect the internal and external interests of the
republic. THIS resolution, though violently OPP
posed by the ministry, was carried by vote of 436
to 1874
In the Assembly, on the 18th, an order was
passed TO abolish the duty on potable liquors, which
VIII prove loss to the revenue of about lO3 900 900
Of francs.
On the I'D, the affairs of Italy being under con-
sidelatIon, M. Sarrans SAID that, with regard to
the Russian Interveniion every one knew the am
bliion OF the Cabinet OF 81 Pc,esburgh as well AS
the spInt which guides it. This intervention was
