o'clock yesterday morning. after passage Of eleven
days nine hours and thirty minutes from Cowes
Roads.
The Humboldt left Havre at 10 A. NJ. on the 7th
inst and, having crossed the English channel,
touched off Cowes at 10 o'clock Of the evening
and having taken on board the English mails and
passengers, sent from Southampton on a special
steamer, Immediately proceeded on her voyage.
The II. brings the usual mails, SO passengers,
and 600 tons of goods, valued at 81 ,500,000 to

Esq, bearer Of dispatches from the United States

The Queen and court had removed to the royal
hummer residence of Osborne, Isle of Wight.
When the Humboldt left, the general elections
throughout the country were in full progress, and
would be entirely concluded within ten days.
Whether this contest would defnitively settle the
important political questions at issue between the
government and the country, could not, at early
q stage, be decided. It is certain that much bitter
political feeling existed, and both the conservative
and liberal sides were using the most strenuous
IN ba
test was, unhapply, also embittered by religious
and sectarian anmosites, particularly in the North
andin Ireland, and this feeling seemed to bode that
the elections would not pass off without grave dis
turbances.
The London Herald (the organ of the Conserva-
tive Derby party) estimates tina. in the Parlia
ment the government would have majority of
over $50. This was however known to be incorrect
and. TO the last degree, improbable. While some go
30 far to say that Lord Derby would find himself
IN q considerable minority,it generally thought
that the election would result in pretty even ba
lance of political power between the conservatives
and the opposition. few days viii bring us more
specific information from England meantime, even
in the heat of the preparations for our own Pres-
Dental election all parties this side cannot help
watching with deep interest the progress of the
great struggle which has been renewed, and is in
active operation, in the British Empire, between
aristocratic IDEAS and liberal if not democratic ten
denotes.
The advices from the RontiDent are totally devoid
Of interest.
The disease in the vines and olive trees has re-

Several hundred sail Of vessels, which had for a
long time been windbound off Cabrita Point, nea-
Gibraltar, were enabled to pass the Straits the

sequence Of the expected easterly wind having

The ST. Ubes salt monopoly was considered at
Lisbon as suppressed, as American, English, Rus
siar, and other vessels were already loading upon

The quarterly returns Of the revenue which were
published on the 9TH July, exhibited the prosperous
state Of the finances Of the kingdom and the extra

flS3, $40, the excise increase of 923 706, the

The Eastern Steam Navigation Company, of
London, had proposed plan to their shareholders
Tor building two steamships, 700 feet long and
1900 tons burden each vessel to have two sets of
paddle wheels, and propeller of an aggregate

The weather in England was magnificent for the
harvest, and the corn market in Mark lane was
Jeeedingly dull. English wheat declined Is. to 2s

foreign wheat, the turn being decidedly in favor of
the buyer Flour both French and American, hangs
heavily on hand, and decline had to be submitted

The money market was unaltered; capital abund-
ant: bullion increasing in the bank Stocks and shares
rather dull, but prices firm. More confidence in
