NEW YORK. July 25.-The steamship
 North Briton arrived at Farther Point, c
 E., today. She left Liverpool on Wednes
 day the 18th instant, and brings advice.
 four days later than those recieved by the
 steamer Africa.
 The advices of the steamship Anglo Saxon reached Liverpool on the Huh inst The following is the translation of the peace dispatch from the Emperor Napo- leon to the Empress Eugenia: | HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY, VALLEGA, July II. l A treaty of peace has been signed between the Emperor of Austria and myself on the fol lowing basis: The Italian Confederacy is to be under the Honorary Presidency of the Pope. The Emperor of Austria comedies his rights in Lombardy to the Emperor of the French, who transfers the rights to the King 1 of Sardinia. The Emperor of Austria pre- serves Venice, but she will form an integral part of the Italian Confederacy. lSigned.] NAPOLEON. The Paris Moniteur announced that the great neutral powers exchanged commit nications with the belligerent powers of- fering their mediation, but their proposals were unsuccessful until the French fleet was about commencing hostilities against Venice, and the conflict before Verona was imminent, when the Emperor Ma poleon, finding that the Emperor of Aus tria was willing, concluded an armlstlce. Both the Emperors had an interview on the 11th instant at Vila-Franca. A tele- graphic dispatch from Turin says: The Emperor Napoleon has issued bulletin from Vallegio, announcing the armstlce and congratulating his troops on their ex- ploits. He announced his immediate de- parture for Paris. He leaves the Provi- sional command of the army with Mar shal Valiant. Some authorities say the armistce was effected through the influence of England, and others say it was effected by Prussia.
 A telegraphic dispatch from Verona says: The armistce was concluded only after repeated requests from the French, and after Austria had obtained all she ask ed for.
 It was reported that M. Kossuth would propose a monarchial government for Hungary.
 The London News says: The hopes and expectations of Italy have been de- ceived. History will call the Emperor Napoleon to account for making war on false pretenses, and signing mock and selfish peace, that leaves Austria impreg- nably fortified in the heart of Northern Italy, and commits the center of Italy to the patronage of the Pope.
 The London Post contends that the Pope is deprived of the substance, but re- tains a shadow of supremacy.
 The London Times says:
 "France has spent fifty million pounds and sacrificed fifty thousand men, only to give Milan Piedmontese master, and to establish the Pope in a tenn porary dignity even beyond his imagina- tion."
 ENGLAND.-The announcement of peace was received by prolonged cheers, both in the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

The Memphis, White and Little Red rivel packet Return, Capt. Pete Fleming, on hel downward trip, bound for Memphis, struck a snag yesterday Wednesday, morning, about g o'clock, some three hundred yards above the first point above Dcval's Bluf-thirty- five miles below Des Arc. She struck on the star board bow, nearly under the steps. The snag made no break, but was entirely out of sight. The boat sunk in ten minutes, and lays near the right hand shore, descending, bow up stream, her stern in 9 feet water and bow in g feet. The boilers are supposed to have rolled overheard as the boat careened over as she sunk, and they could not be found by sounding. The boat is total loss.
 The passengers-some fifty in number together with the crew, were all saved The passengers saved their baggage. The books and papers, with every thing in the clerks office, were also saved.
 The Return was owned by Capt. J. Riley Jones, and this was her second season in the Memphis and White river trade. She was valued at $600o No insurance.
 She had light freight-ffty sacks of corn, and fifty-one head of hogs. The hogs swan ashore.

 CoTToN.-Since the receipt of the news of the ratification of peace in Europe, there has been some inquiry for Cotton in our market, and during the last two days $50 bales have been sold, at prices varying from 8a to 12c. The higher priced bales were generally se- lected the greater part of the quantity sold was of the lower qualities; most of the stock remaining on hand, about 1900 bales, is of the latter description. It is presumed that the purchases were to fill orders that were lying in the ciiy, the peace tidings having created probability of some advance in price.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

l In addition to the foregoing, we learn from l Capt. J. P. Booker, clerk of the Return, who came up on the Wm. H. Langley, on Friday and remained here until Sunday morning, that l the boat will prove almost an entire loss. A portion of her doors, blinds, furniture, &c., has been saved, and the crew remained with the wreck, and are saving everything in their power.
 At the time the boat struck the snag, the officers promptly warned the passengers that fshe was sinking, and aided the ladies and children ashore. To their coolness and good management are the passengers indebted not only for their lives, but also in saving their baggage.
 Lemuel Dickins, the engineer on watch, de- serves great credit. He promptly raised his levers and let off the steam. The snag must have torn one side of her bottom out, as the engineer, plainly saw his doctor raise some Is inches, and the deck raise and fall as the snag raked aft.
 Capt. Booker saved the papers and money from the safe by depositing them in carpet bag which he happened to have at hand.
 One passenger, physician, who was return ing to Tennessee, on especial visit" was laying in his berth suffering with chill, striking the snag knocked him out of his berth, and 'tis said his chill stopped then and thereafter getting ashore, through sundry efforts and ejaculations, he took skif for Clarendon, intending to cross to Madison by stage-but here he also was again "knocked," ;" for the coach had left several hours before. His sufferings are sald to have been more ''in- tense" than any other one of the passengers.
 As the boat sunk she careened to one side, showing one half of her bottom, and her boil CTS rolled off into some forty feet water-the chimneys also then fell overheard.
