The United States mail steamer Hermann, Capt.
E. Higgins, u s. N, commander, arrived yester
day afternoon.
She left Bremen on the 5th of November, and
during her passage to Southampton experienced
violent gale, and shipped several heavy seas She
finally departed from Southampton at P. NJ, on
the 10th, and brings eighty five passengers heavy
and valuable freight comprising 24O tons merchan-
die from Bremen and $50 tons from France-besides
. smaller quantity of British manufactures.
The British and North American steamer Ameri.
ca reached Liverpool on the 7th inst.
The United States mail stea nship franklin,
which left New York en- the 23d of October, for
Southampton and Havre, when about four days out
from this port, had the misfortune to breakIher CEN
TIRE shaft, and the remainder Of the voyage had to
be performed with only one engine and paddle wheel,
assisted by the canvass The weather at the time of
the accident was too unfavorabe to permit Of Cap
tain Wotton putting back to the port of depar-
ture. The Franklin accordingly reached Cowes on
the 9Th Instant and went up to Southampton docks
on the 9th, to effect the necessary repairs to her
machinery, which it was expected would occu-
py from four to six weeks. The passengers and
mails for Havre were promptly sent thither, and it
was probable the cargo would be transhipped from
Southampton to that place. 1t appears there are
no oonyeniences at Havre for manufacturing a new
shaft, such as the Franklin required, whereas at
southampton engineering operations can be effected
on tho largest scale. The Franklin behaved most
admirably during the heavy weather she expe.
rienced and the passengers presented most graft.

mirable skill and seamanship displayed during the
difficult and critical juncture in which his fine
steamship was placed.
