BY the arrival of the Ocean Steam Navigation
Company's steamship Hermann, Capt E. Crabtree,
with the United States contract mails from Eng
land, France, and Germany, we are in possession
Of our usual correspondence and files Of London
papers, embracing news of one days later date
than brought by the Niagara.
The Hermann arrived at her dock about o'clock
on Wednesday morning.
The Hermann sailed from Bremen on the morn
ing of the 18th ult, and reached Southampton on
the l7th AT the latter port she took in 700 tons of
coal, and considerable quantity of cargo, princi-
pally French merchandise from Havre. She de-
parted from southampton on Sunday, the Goth,
ship Indus, bound to Alexandra, with the East
India and China mails but, as on former occa-
sion,. she considerably outstripped the Indus In
speed during. the run down the British Channel =
This speaks favorably for the speed of the Amerl-
san steamer, the Indus being very fine iron ship
of 1900 tons burden, and having been built espe-
sially for carrying the British mails.
The Hermann brings the large number Of 80 Sc
cond class, and 70 first class passengers, and specie
The u. S. frigate st. Lawrence, A, Captain H!
Pauding, was lying IN Southampton harbor when
the Hermann left. She was taking in ample sup
plies Of provisions and stores, previous to sum-
mer cruize in the North Sea and Baltic, for the
protection of American interests during the unset
tied state of Northern Europe. We learn that the
to Cadz and Lisbon At the latter port the COM
mander and officers were received with every de-
nonstration of respect and attention. We are also
happy to learn, by a letter from Southampton, that
the same good feeling existed on the temperance
Of this frigate off that port, between the officers
and authorities of the town. When the ship ar
rived from the Tagus, royal salutes were exchang-
ed; and on the 18th May, the day appointed for
frigate was handsomely decorated with flags at
noon the royal standard of England was hoisted
under salute of Fl guns. the band playing "God
save the Queen" The visit of this ship of war to
the English shores has done much to promote that
cordially which 1t is desirable should be cultI
waited between the American republic and the old
country.

Atrocious Attempt to Assassinate the
Queen.
LONDON, May 10, ls49.
Shortly after SIX o'clock this evening, her Ma
jesty and Prince Albert, while returning in an
open landau, from Hyde park, down Constitution
bill, to Buckingham palace, q laborng man,
wearing white flannel jacket, and bearing all
the Queen from within the ratings Of the Green
park, while the carriage was passing the curve of
the hill, close TO the triumphal arch
The Queen and the Prince did not appear much
alarmed, and the carriage, by order Of the Queen,
proceeded to the palace. Both were uninJured.
The miscreant, who is an Irshman, named
John Hamilton, was Immediately seized by one of
the park keepers, and by a soldier, who jumped
loaded with ball. He was Immediately taken to
the King street station, where, at the time our
porter left, the scOundrel was under examination.
The greatest excitement prevails in the metro
polls IN consequence of the diabolical attempt.

years Of age, appears rational Individual

Our advices from France, Gncluding Paris let
tiers to the 18th ult.,) mention that considerable
alarm existed in that city, consequent upon the
rather unexpected result of the elections. Although
the moderate party would have a majority in the
new Legislative Assembly, yet the number Of re-
publican and socialist candidates who had been
returned was far more numerous than was antici->
pated. This fact, with the still more significant
one, that vsst proportion of the soldiers of the
line, in Paris, voted for the socialist candidates,
had caused great dismay to the President OF the
Republic and his ministers The President, on
being apprized OF the result of the elections, sent
telegraphie despatch commanding Marshal Bugeaud
to return Paris quickly as possible This pro-
ccedIng had given rise to anumoer OF reports,
some Of which said the object was to form new
ministry, in which M Dufaurc and M. Gustave de
Beaumont were TO fill important positions. This
was, however, extremely improbable. till the ac-
tual complexion OF the new Assembly should be
accurately ascertaincd.
Some disturbances had broken out at Lyons,
Pont Levoy, near Blols. and at Chalons. In the
former town 1t is said the soldiers joined the mob.

the President, by the Roman Intervention, a mea-
sure dictated neither by sound policy as regarded
the internal peace Of the republic, or the external
relations OF the French government. The inter-
vention seemed to partake of mere electioneering
tactic to gain popularity for the Bonapartists, but
which had turned out anything but favorable for
their cause. The amy was very much dissatisfied
BY the unhappy manner and iuncture in which the
expedition was planned. and more especially by the
abomnably bad way in which IT had been con-
Quoted, and the humiliation It had caused to the
French arms IN the face of Europe.
From Rome, we learn that affairs remained I'M
