The royal mail steamship Africa, Capt Ryrie,
arrived at Quarantine about eight o'clock last
ming, and reached her dock at Jersey City at half
past twelve.
She left Liverpool on the 7lh instant and brings
dates from London and Paris to the 5th inst. Capt
Ryrie reports having experienced very heavy
weather.
In addition to the officers of the Africa, who fur
nished our reporter with files of papers, we are
under obligations to Geo Copway, the celebrated
Ojibbeway Chief, who came passenger, and used
every exertion TO furnish us with the news in time
for this mornings paper.
The A, at haf-past six o'clock last evening,
saw the steamship Arctic, hence for Liverpool yes
terday afternoon, fifty miles east of Sandy Hook.
The mail steamer Washington, Captain Floyd,
arrived off Cowes at s o'clock, p M on the 5th
inst, and sent her mails for England and France
10 SouthamptonInext morning. She proceeded TO
Bremen at daylight next morning.
The threatened war in Germany, from the cur
rent reports, seems to have been stayed for the
present, and, as matter of course, the influence
of the amicable news was almost instantly expe-
Iienced in the various markets.
The scarcity of silver continues to attract con-
siderable attention, and has caused still further
rise in the precious metal, as will be seen by the
report headed Liverpool. The money market,
generally, had also greatly improved.
Cotton, it appears, has been acted upon by
the pacific news from Faderland," and large
transactions were being entered into.
II will be observed, that while the grain market
at Liverpool is quoted '' frm," in other places it
appears TO be rather languid

9Th, remarks that " the uncertainty whether there
is 10 be peace or war is great as ever, and the
orders tor the armaments on both sides have not
been suspended The Ministry at Berlin appear to
be in rather disorganized state, aud their pro.
ceedngs have naturally drawn forth variors
conclusions and misgvings as to the actual
state Of the negotiations. If they had been really
favorable, tho Prussian would have so informed the
public. AT Vienna the purchase of horses and
munitions is still continued. We are told that M.
Manteufiel has been hwarted in his endeavors TO
bring about arrangement upon the basis proposed
by Prince Schwartzenburg, and has now submit
ted plan Of his own; what thar plan is we are
not informed
The "Papal Aggressions," as the recent Ca
tholic movements in England are called, still excite
some degree of attention. However, the rejecting
and sensible portion of the people are beginning to
view the matter in more Christian-hke spirit, and
il is to be hoped that by the arrival of the next
steamer, we shall receive the gratifying informa-
ton that all creeds are allowed TO worship after
their own fashion, with as much freedom as do the
inhabitants of this great and glorious republic.
From France our news this week is not very
important, as all political interest is bound up
in the German quarrel. The Legislative As.
sembly has declared its neutrality, and IN such
a tone as to enforce a strict obedience to its
mandates. Ii is said that M. Persgny, the pri-
vate friend Of Louis Napoleon, and late Ambas.
sador at Berlin, has been incessant in urging the
President TO join Prussia and involve France the
quarrel, but private intrigue, IN the present temper
