Arrival of Steamei'3 North Star, Kangaroo, 
America, India and Europa, 
Since our last we have had five arrivals of 
steamships from Europe. The North Star left 
Southampton on the 7th inst., and reached New 
York on the 20th. The Kangaroo left Liverpool 
on the 7th and arrived at New York on the 22d, 
and the America left Liverpool on the 10th and 
arrived off Sandy Hook on the 23d. The Indian 
left Liverpool on the 11th and arrived at Quebec 
on the 24th, and the steamship Europa left Liver¬ 
pool on the 17th inst,, with three days later news 
than the Indian. 
The North Star brought the first intelligence of 
the failure of the attempt tq lay the Atlantic Tele¬ 
graph wire. In our last issue we gave an account 
of the two first failures, in the second of which the 
cable separated after about forty miles were laid. 
The Agamemnon and Niagara met a third time on 
the 28th ult, and a third time connected the cable. 
They then started afresh, and the Niagara having 
paid out over 150 miles of cable, all on board en 
tertained the most sanguine anticipations of suc¬ 
cess when tbe fatal announcement was made at 9 
P. M., that the electric current had ceased to flow. 
As the necesity of abandoning the project for the 
present was now only too manifest, it was consid¬ 
ered that the opportunity might as well be availed 
of to test the strength of the cable. Accordingly 
this immense vessel, with all her stores, &c., was 
allowed to swing to the cable, and in addition a 
strain of four tuns was placed upon the breaks.— 
Yet, although it was blowing fresh at the time, the 
cable held as if she had been at anchor, for over 
an hour, when a heavy pitch of the sea snapped 
the rope, and she hove away to Queenstown. She 
must have passed the Agamemnon, but owing to 
the heavy fog, missed seeing or gaining any 
tidings of her. 
By the news brought by the Indian, given below, 
it will be seen that enough telegraph cable has 
been saved to warrant another attempt to lay it, 
and the steamers were to start for this purpose on 
the 17th inst. 
A grand banquet was given at the London Tav¬ 
ern on the 4th of July by the American Associa¬ 
tion. Gen. Campbell, our consul to London presi¬ 
ded, on whose right sat Mr. Dallas. About 150 
Americans and many Englishmen were present. 
Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, Colonial Secretary, has in¬ 
structed the Governor of Vancouver’s Island that 
it is no part of the policy of the British Govern¬ 
ment to exclude American and other foreigners 
from the Frazer River gold fields. The national 
right to navigate the river is reserved, however. 
The German papers are loud in praise of the ex¬ 
cellent appearance of the vines in all the most 
noted points of the Rhine. 
The Turkish imperial decree calling out one 
hundred thousand men of the reserve is alleged by 
the Porte to be occasioned by the necessity of hav¬ 
ing at command a sufficient force to secure the 
execution of measures of order and reorganiza¬ 
tion, which the government were resolved to apply 
to all the provinces, conformable to its engage¬ 
ments with the allied powers. 
The Clomnel Irish Chronicle states that the 
blight had made its appearance among the pota¬ 
toes in several places in that locality. 
The Times Paris correspondent says explanations 
have been demanded of the Viceroy of Egypt with 
reference to the loan he is about to negotiate with 
an English house. 
The Commons had passed the bill for the gov¬ 
ernment of India, 
Lord Malmesbury had announced in the Lords 
that the British cruisers would be immediately 
withdrawn from Cuban waters, but that the block¬ 
ade of the African coast would be continued. 
Spain— It is again said that Spain is preparing 
an expedition of 10,000 men for Mexico. 
The new Spanish Cabinet is completed. Gen. 
Ros de Alalo is spoken of as Captain-General 
of Cuba, 
It is reported from Madrid, that Gen. O’Donnell 
will dissolve the Cortes in a very short time. It is 
also stated that he intended to arrange the army in 
large divisions, as in France, and then place emi¬ 
nent Generals at the head of them. 
A semi-official Spanish journal says that the 
Ministry is not less decided than the preceding 
one, to demand explanation from England on the 
subject of the offensive words of Lord Malmes- 
hury, on the question of English cruisers. 
France —The new Minister of the Interior had 
permitted 120 persons, who had been exiled, to re¬ 
turn home. 
The Royal families of Belgium, Prussia and Aus¬ 
tria would be represented at the Cherbourg fetes. 
The tobacco crops in Algiers had been almost 
totally destroyed by a worm. 
The Canadian Company’s Screw Steamship In¬ 
dian, which left Liverpool on Wednesday, the 14th 
inst, arrived at Quebec on the 24th inst. 
The American Steamship Europa, from Boston, 
arrived at Liverpool on the evening of the 10th inst., 
and the U. S. Mail Steamship Vanderbilt, from New 
York on the 3d of July, arrived at Cowes en route 
for Havre, on the 13th. The Saxonia from New 
York 1st of July, arrived at Southampton on the 
same day. 
The Agamemnon and Valorous returned to 
Queenstown on the 12th. The final break in the 
cable was just below the stern of the Agamemnon, 
after 146 miles had been paid out of that vessel.— 
The Agamemnon then returned to the rendezvous 
in mid ocean, and cruized there for five days, in 
anticipation of meeting the Niagara. On her ar¬ 
rival at Queenstown, it was resolved to coal and 
start for the final attempt on Saturday, the 17th 
inst., there being still 2,500 miles of the cable on 
board both ships. 
In Parliament, there had been an important de¬ 
bate on the question of the Slave Trade, during 
which the Government stated that the difficulties 
in America had been swept away; that Secretary 
Cass had assured Lord Napier, the American Gov¬ 
ernment would give an earnest consideration to 
any proposals suggested to them for the verifica¬ 
tion of the nationality of vessels. 
There had been a terrible massacre of Christians 
at Jeddo. Twenty persons were murdered, includ¬ 
ing among the number both the English and French 
consuls. Three British men-of-war have been or¬ 
dered there. 
There is later news from both India and China, 
but the advices contain no peculiarly important 
features. 
The Liverpool cotton market closed slightly 
easier, with sales for three days of 15,000 bales. 
Commercial Intelligence. 
Boeadstuffs. —The Liverpool Breadstuff Market was 
quiet, and prices without chaoge, since the departure of 
the America. 
Provisions.—L iverpool Produce Market was dull, but 
generally unaltered. 
Money Market. —The London Money Market had un¬ 
dergone no special change. Consols closed for 95Rf, for 
acount, 95X@/s- 
Arrival of the Europa. 
The steamship Europa, which left Liverpool on 
the 17th, was intercepted by the news yachts off St. 
Johns on the 26th. She brings three days later 
news, but nothing very important. 
The Indian bill had passed to a second reading 
in the Lords. 
The massacre of Christians at Jeddo, attracted 
much attention throughout Europe, and particu¬ 
larly in England. 
Turkey had promised to avenge the massacre.— 
It is reported that England and France would oc¬ 
cupy the place. 
Bombay advices of June 19tli, had been received. 
The Calpee rebels had defeated the Scindia troops 
at Gwalior, and a large number of the latter had 
gone over to the enemy. This confirms the ac¬ 
count via. Calcutta, received by the India. 
A strong British force was preparing to recap¬ 
ture Gwalior. 
The Europeans in India, were suffering much 
from the heat of the weather. 
The prorogation of Parliament was expected on 
the 21st of July. 
Commercial Intelligence. 
Bkkadstuffb— The Brokers’ circular says that flour 
had declined 6d@ls, on the week; wheat 2d; and corn Gd. 
Liverpool Breadstuff's had a declining tendency, and all 
kinds were slightly lower. The weather had been favora¬ 
ble for the crops. 
Provisions.— Richardson, Speuce k Co,, for McHenry 
and others, quote beef slightly declined, and holders pres¬ 
sing on the market. Pork steady. Bacon heavy, and 
holders pressing sales at a decline of 1%. 
Produce Market.— The Brokers’ and other circulars 
quote sugar quiet but steady. Coffee dull. Rice firm, 
and East India slightly higher. Trade declined V, to Id 
9X@9%. 
Public Documents Franked. — The Mississip- 
pian has procured statistics of speeches franked by 
U. S. Senators during the laBt session of Congress. 
The whole number franked by Free State Senators 
was 381,780, while those by the Slave State Senators 
was only 129,850. Douglas franked 198,600, Bright 
100,000, Seward 68,750, Chandler, of Michigan, 30,- 
600. The Senators from North Carolina franked 
only 300 in all. 
Baggage and Mail Car Burnt.— The baggage 
and mail car on the down train on the Central 
Railroad, was destroyed by fire at St. Johnsville on 
the 24th. The fire is supposed to have origina¬ 
ted from some combustible article among the bag¬ 
gage. The contents of the car were nearly de¬ 
stroyed, and the mails from Buffalo and some in¬ 
termediate stations, lost 
Ministers’ Sons.— Princeton Theological Semi, 
nary bids fair to silence the calumy of the degene¬ 
racy of ministers’ sons. One fifth of the present 
number of students are the sons of ministers; and 
in that Institution may now be seen the grandsons 
of the Rev. Drs. Griffin and Witherspoon, and the 
great-grandson of the Rev. Jonathan Edwards. 
Worthy of Imitation. —The students of the 
Agricultural College at Lansing, with the excep¬ 
tion of eighten, it being optional with them, voted 
at the commencement of the present term to dis¬ 
pense with the use of tea and coffee. The use of 
tobacco is abolished also among them. 
High Water.— The western waters were high in 
1836 and ’37. Seven years after, in 1844, and in 
seven years again in 1851, and then again in 1858 
we have a great flood.

Rochester, July 27, 1858. \ 
Our market is rather inactive. Fanners are engaged iu haying 
and harvesting, the weather being fine, and but little produce is com¬ 
ing in. We have, therefore, to report but little change.

The Wool Markets. 
NEW YORK, July 21.—A fair inquiry prevails for Nativo Fleece, 
but the stock is In few hands, and the demand consequently does not 
extend to the general trade; further sales of some 150,000 lbs medium 
and fine Merino and Saxony have been made at from 31(5) 45c net, as 
to qnality, thus making the sales of the new clip here this far, 500,- 
000 lbs. The greater portion of the clip is now in the hands of man¬ 
ufacturers and dealers, and is held for higher prices, of course; but 
we presume that the majority of farmers are satisfied with the prices 
obtained for that told, taking matters generally into account Pulled 
is in light supply, and there is a good inquiry for fine l,ambs’ Wool at 
very full rates; sales of some 20,010 tbs No. 1 City and extra Country 
at 28®37>£c. Foreign continues in very limited demand, and the 
market is heavy, though there ih no anxiety to realize in the present 
inactive state of the market —JV. Y. Tribune. 
BOSTON. July 21.—The demand has been quite active for Fleece 
and Pulled Wool, the sales of the week comprising 275,1X10 lbs at full 
previous prices. The receipts of new Wool continue fair, but the 
stock of fleece is light. The transactions in foreign comprise 350 halts 
at various prices, as to quality, mostly Mediterranean and South 
American:
