The News.
The United States mail steamship Humboldt ar
rived at this port yesterday evening from Havre
and Southampton. We have advices from England
and the continent of Europe of four days later date
The British Parliament engaged with the
consideration of suggested improvements in the'fu
tare policy to be pursued towards India. Notices
had been given, both in the Houses Of Lords and
Commons, that upon a future day ministers would
be called upon for explanations relative to the
Eastern aggression of Russia and the intended inter
vention Of England for the maintenance of the inte
gritty of the Ottoman Empire.
A refractory portion of the Irish brigade in Par
iament had rendered the designations of their Offices
under the Aberdeen government, but had consented
TO retain them after written statement made by
the Premier.
The French empire was Tranquil and the works of
local improvement were progressing in Paris. A
report was prevalent that the supplies Of grain and
-four from the provinces were becoming very short
in the capital fact which has always very serious
effect upon French politics.
The money markets of England and France were
agitated with regarding Russian diplomacy
and Turkish resistance to it. The latest was to the
effect that the Gar had despatched courier to
Constantinople to demand compliance with the
ultimatum Of Prince Menschikoff in the course Of
eight days. There was little doubt but the Emperor
felt mortified with the failure of the Princes mission
to the East and that the united stand taken by the
great powers of France and England combined, with
the firm front displayed by the Sultan, had caused
the autocrat to temporize.
The Italian States enjoyed peace, and many pro-
jects Of improved finance measures and internal
railway communication were being discussed IN
Hhe various legislative assemblies.
The agricultural reports from Prussia are disheart-
ening and speak of much distress existing amongst
the peasantry, who were preparing TO emigrate in
large numbers.
Our advces from the Bahamas are to the 4th inst
The news is rather unimportant in its character
The chief political feature was the still continued
differences between the Governor General and the
House Of Assembly regarding the passage of the
Government Appropriation bill. The representative
b dy had rejected the measure upon two occasions
N neiy-three pounds in cash had been collected
to be forwarded to the sufferers belonging to the
blrk William and Mary. There is no allusion to the
state of the crops weather SANITARY condition of
the islands.
As we anticipated would be the case the mem
bers of State Senate took especial pains to be in
their seats yesterday. It being executive session
day it important that they should all be ia at
tendance, despite the heat of the weather. The Co
vernon sent in a large number Of nominations
them John A. Kennedy and J. S. Donnelly for
Commissioners of Emigration at this portal
OF which remain Enacted Mr.. Vanderbilt reported
in favor of the Brooklyn Harbor Masters but his re-
port was tabled on motion Of Mr.. Upham and by the
sanction Of Mr.. Cooley. Mr. Pierce offered resolu
ton dischayng the Senators from the First Judicial
District rom the consideration Of the New York Har
Dor Masters, ard confirming the nominees. This was
evidently attended as home thrust at those gentle
men, but it signally failed, being defeated by
eighteen to eleven, after an unusually exciting
debate in the course of which democratic journals
were quoted from TO show that "the nominees are
repugnant to the democracy" Every Senator voted
npon this test question except Messrs. Rogers and
McMurray, democrats, and Mr.. Beach, wing. The
two latter it will be recollected snapped off prior
e. the departure Of Mr.. Mem. for Europe. Quite a
sharp, we may say cutting controversy occurred be-
tween Messrs. Cooley and Conger respecting nomi-
nations for notaries in the Second Judicial District
which were eventually confirmed, and then the Sc
nate resumed legislative business. The warm work
yesterday probably decided the fate Of the New York
more freely notwithstanding the caloric state of the
atmosphere, and the applicants for the Offices vii
have the privilege Of becoming cool at some of the
summer retreats instead Of being tied down by Of
fetal business.
Several bills were passed by the Senate in the
early part Of the day, and a bill was presented
providing for the appointment OF five commissioners
to select site for a new park in this city. Mr..
Cooley dissented from this BILL and announced that
he was preparing a report upon the subject, which
he hoped TO present to-day II is pleasing 10 learn
that Mr. c. has at last been aroused upon this i'm
portant matter. The signs are that something will
now be done towards giving citizens a place
wherein they can draw a fGi, free, wholesome,
bracing breath Of air.
The Assembly -pent most of the day in discussing
the resolutions q impeachment against Canal Com
missioner Mather Ihc vote is to be taken on this
subject at to-day, after which it has been de.
cided that the new railroad bin shall be taken up and
disposed Of. For Jet II the bills passed, together
