afternoon, with the usual French, German, and
British mails, l65 passengers, (of whom IS are frat
CLASSY and fair cargo, consisting of about $50
packages of French merchandise, from Havre, $50
tons measurement goods from Bremen, and sundry
goods from Southampton.
The Washington did not leave Bremen till one
day after her appointed time, in consequence of
tremendous gale of wind, which came on to blow,
and continued with such violence as to prevent the
steamer from taking her departure She only
reached Southampton on the evening of the 18TH;
but notwithstanding the shortness of her stay, was
enabled to take on board 400 tons of Goals and all
her stores, freight, &C., time to put to sea on the
10th, which day she left Southampton dock, pre-
csely at noon.
The West India mail steamer Thames, CAPTAIN
Abbott, arrived at Southampton the evening before
this steamer left that port. She had on board
specie to the value of nearly million three hun
dred thousand dollars, of which almost one million
of dollars was in gold dust from California.
The steamship Helena Sloman, Capt. Paulsen,
was expected to touch at Southampton, on the
2sth ult, on her way from Hamburg to New York
The Ripon sailed from Southampton on the 10Th
ult., with the outward India and China mails, and
specie belonging to the East India Company to the
value of one hundred and fifty thousand pounds
sterling, for Calcutta.
We learn, by our adyices from Havre, that the
arrival of the new steamship Franklin, Capt Wot-
ton, at that port, ha created quite sensation, and
the brave Havaraise were quite struck with asto-
n!shment and admiration at the beautiful specimen
Of naval architecture presented to their eyes, when
looking upon this beautiful steamer. The Frank
lin, we learn, encountered heavy easterly weather
trou hout whole vo vege but sha orr;yaJ at
Havre Gncluding the time occupied by the deten-
ton at Cowes to disembark the English mails in
thirteen days from deck to dock. As the steaming
distance, via Cowes, is three thousand, two hun
dred and seventy-fve miles, this, her first, per-
formance was held to be most satisfactory one,
under the circumstances of unfavorabe weather I;
and, is necessarily the the first trial of
steamer. the engines had not fairly worked to their
bearings, there is no doubt but that the Franklin
will eventually run from New York to Cowes in
between ten and eleven days.
The Washington brings us intelligence Of one
days later date than received by the Canada from
LIVERPOOL; and we have London papers two days
later, ewing TO the London morning newspapers,
OF the 10Th ult not having bssn rsoeived Liver
psol when the Canada left that port.
The English securities had been tolerably well
supported on the London Stock Exchange. Con-
sols closed at 97l to 975 for money and account;
new three and quarter per cents, 95E to 99l;
Ihdia bonds, 50 TO 81 pm; exchange bills touched
II pm ; bank stock, 2l0s to 21l. The foreign stock
market quiet, but Mexican and Peruvian bonds
were well supported. Railway shares generally
unchanged.
Our letters from Havre, received by this packet,
ellude TO the competition for freight that has just
sprung up there, between the American and Cunard
steamers. The agents of the latter vessels, TO
compete with the Franklin. have at once lowered
the rate Of freight from Havre TO New York, uia
Liverpool, to $40 per ton-the former rate was 10.
The agent of the franklin complains that this is a
| breach Of faith, inssmuch as the Cunard Company
now charge $50 from Liverpool "a New York. IL
costs Sl0 a ton TO convey freight from Hsvre 10
| Liverpool, thus leaving the Cunard steamers oaly

rates, in the London Times, are So, and notih-
cation is made that the freIghts will not be reduced
