Def 30 many an anxious heart. The Hermann, after
ancomtering some dreadful heavy weather snd seas
yunnmg mountains high was forced 70 put beck
- Southampton for repairs. AL her passengers,
VIII the exception Of two who have remained for
tbe transaction Of private business, were lan6ed
safely from the Fulton. The passengers Of the Her
ram, when at Southampton, passed a series of re
sohtons approving Of the conduct Of Captain Hig-
Ems and his officers. The political news by the
Rulton rs not important. Il is said that Sicily
again quiet and that the revolution at Palermo had
been suppressed. The wouldbe assassin OF the
King of Naples was hanged. The aspect Of the re-
htions existing between Prussia and Switzerland
vas stu very gloomy, and further complaints
were looked for. The English declaration of war
Against Persia had caused much excitement both in
Dnsope and Asia. The government proclamation
which recspitulates Englsnd's causes of
complain, against the Shah is given, but many Of
Ian best friends regret The step now taken as tend
- TO ensure the advance Of Russia further east
ward. Queen Victoria and the royal family visited
Ne Arctic discovery ship Rcso'ute al Covcs, and
were received BY Captain Hartsten in manner
worthy An American officer and gentleman. Rev.
