THE 4TH JULY. \Ve take the liberty of suggesting to the Committee of Ar cements, to fix some reasonable price for the admission of r#nS an d youths to the Pic Nic on the anniversary of Ameri- N ,’ Independence. None, and particularly children and :: th3 should be denied the privilege of enjoyment. Further if they are properly cared for by the Committee, and “Totted within the enclosure under the guardianship of their fl -treats, there will be much better order kept than if nomi nally excluded.

In crossing by tb* above direction, no woman is left in the company of an other man without her husband being present. FERRYMAN. CITY ITEMS. The Steamship Cherokee , Capt. Lyon arrived on Saturday, morn'ngfrom New York, in 66 hours from wharf to wharf. Tho steamer Wm. Gaston will make an excursion to Beulah and Montgomery to-day. The Central Rail Road will bring passengers desirous of ipendingthe 4th of July in Savannah, for half price. The steamship Isabel, Capt. Rollins, from Havana, nr. rived at 3 o’clock Monday morning, she had 80 passengers in r\\, <25 of whom were for this place. The health of Havana is good. Business dull. Tho quar antine is rigidly enforced against vessels from all parts of the United States. The pl/mking of West Broad nnd Bay Streets from the Cen tral Rail Road Depot to the Eastern wharf, is nearly completed, nnd gives general satisfaction. It affords a pleasant drive of an afternoon.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP AMERICA. St. John (N. B.) Tklf.graph Office, ) Tuesday Afternoon, June 19. £ The America, Captain Harrison, with sixty passengers, bringing Paris dates of the 7th, London of the Bth, and Liv erpool of the 9th, arrived at Halifax about three o’clock on the 16th. There was a fair demand for Americnu stocks, both in Lon don and on the continent. The London papers however give no quotations. The Emperor of Russia is said to bo in the market for the loan ot fifty million roubles. The East India Directors have given tlio stipulated notice ct one year, for the reduction of the interest on their bonds, from four and n half to three and a half per cent. The Hibernia arrived at Liverpool, on Monday, making the passngo from Halifax in nine days. INTERESTING PROCEEDIMCS IN THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT. In Parliament, Mr. Gladstone gave notice that, on the 14th nt., lie would bring forward a motion respecting the late events in Canada, Lord John Russeil having given a pledge *hat m the meantime, nothing should be done to prejudice the present position of the Rebellion Losses Bill. conduct of the American government, in reference to tie expedition to be sent out in search of Sir John Franklin, ia een alluded to in Parliament, in very flattering terms. STATE OF AFFAIRS ON THE CONTINENT. /fairs on the Continent had undergone no important change uriH the week preceeding the departure of the America, 0U ° 1 lc even ts had been neither few nor trifling. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC—MESSAGE OF LOUIS NAPOLEON. In France, anew cabinet had been formed by the coalition e ilillon Barrot and Dufaure. The new ministry is the B ame as the old, except Dufaure takes the department of Min mer of the Interior, M. de Tocqueville of Foreign Affairs, and Eaguinais of Commerce. Both Bedeau and Remusa*: refused to accept tho department of Foreign Affairs, in consc ience of the difficulties of the Italian question. Much sur prise was excited by the omission of Marshal Balgeaud from list. The Paris papers generally express disapproval of the com promise, and predict its failure. The red republicans are. >iiiy violent in denouncing the new ministry. The Message of the President of the French Republic to the Legislative Assembly, was published in the Paris papers of Tuesday. It is composed in the American, r.nd not upon the European Model, and fills four columns of the European Times. The Paris Journals of Thursday furnish intelligence to the 2d inst. up to which date hostilities hod not commenced, though General Oudinot denounced the armistice on the Ist. The English press in their review of the message of the President, speak of it as exhibiting an unlooked for degree of ability in its author, and ns being a vigorous and eloquent ex positsion of public affairs. Tho condensed and energetic style which characterized the proclamations and addresses of the Emperor Napoleon is apparent throughout the whole message, the subjects of which, followidg the American model, are ap propriately divided, and considered under the several heads of finance,military establishments,including the native agriculture industry, and commerce, public works and foreign affairs The President commences with a recital of his original engage ments to the country, all which he claims to have faithfully observed, and to these he promises to adhere. After reviewing the important events which have transpired in Europe the past year, the message goes on to say—“ Rome a revolution was affected which created great emotion in the Catholic and liberal world In affect, for two years, we were accustomed to behold in the Holy See, a Pontif who took the initiative in useful reforms, nnd whose name, repeated in hyms of gratitude from one end of Italy to the other, was the symbol of liberty, and the guerdon of all hopes, when all of a sudden we learn with astonishment that the sovereign who was lately tho idol cflPliis people, had been compelled secretly to fly his capital. Thus, the acts of aggression which obliged Pius IX to quit Rome, appeared to the eyes of Europe to be the work of a conspiracy, rather than the movement of the people, who could not have passed in an instant from the most lively enthusiusm to the most afflicting ingratitude. The •Catholics sent ambassadors to Gaeta, to occupy themselves with the grave interests of tho Papacy. Prance ought to be represented there; but she listened, without committing her self to a course of action. Bui after the defeat of Novara, matters took a decided turn. Austria, in concert with Naples, answering to the appeal of the Holy Father, notified the French Government that it should take its part, because three powers had decided upon marching on Rome to re-establish there tho authority of the Pope, pure and simple. Placed under the necessity of explaining ourselves, we had but three modes to adopt: either to oppose ourselves in arms to every species of intervention—in which case, we would break with all Catholic Europe for the sole advantage of the Roman Re public, which we had not recognised —or to leavo tho com bined powers to re-establish at their will, without any dis cussion, the papal authority—or to exercise, of our own motion, a direct independent action. The government of the Repub lic adopted the last mode—the rest remains to be told, and the difficulty is still unsolved.” All accounts received from the French departments repre sent the appearance of the growing crops in the most favora ble light, and tho same may be said also of the crops in Eng land. THE PRESENT STATE OF GERMANY. The Frankfort Parliament has transferred its session to Stut gardt. Its influence will be exercised to foima republic after the French model—to*be composed of Baden, Wurtemburg, Rhenish Bavaria, &c. The plenipotentiaries of Prussia, Hanover and Saxony have promulgated anew constitution for Germany, in which the principle of universal suffrage is recognized. In the present, us in the previous, attempt to form a union of ihe German States, the King of Prussia is made the prom inent head. Austria is excluded from the present arrange ment. All the other States are invited. Very little confi dence is felt that the present attempt to combine the several States under one Supreme head will be more fortunate than the last. THE PROGRESS OF THE HUNGARIAN WAR. The war in Hungary presents no new feature; and since the fall of Buda into the hands of the Hungarians, no event has occurred calculated to have a permanent influence on the result of the struggle, though the Hungarians have achieved farther, apd in some respects, important victories. There is evidence that the contestants are contracting their forces, and accounts of a tremendous battle are every day looked for. The Austrian General, Welden, has been superseded by Lieut. Haynan. Prince Taskiewitch will command the united Austrian forces in tho East; and General Haynan in the W est. The latest intelligence from Venice left the Austrians under Marshall Radetsky. The account of bombarding that city, which was closely invested on all sides, is momentarily ex pected. It is reported that the King of Sardinia is at the disposal of the Hungarians; but the report requires confirmation. The whole of the Western provinces of Ireland are repre sented as in the most deplorable condition. Society is dis organized. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. London Money Market, June B.—The relative position of the Bank of England and of France ns shown in their weekly returns, is of the ordinary character. In London money continues at about the same value, though the rate of discount is a shade higher. Liverpool Cotton Market, Jane 9.—Under the influence of favorable accounts from India, confirmation by the American packet of the damage done to the growing crops, and the consequent rise in prices, tho prospect of an abundant harvest, and the cheerful aspect of the Manchester market, buyers enme in and operated on a large scale up to the close of the week, and the market closed at an advance of one quarter penny per pound for all qualities of American, except good fair, which is only one-eiglith of a penny dearer. Sea Island has recovered the decline of one-quarter to one-half penny per pound, noticed last week. The sales were 77,820 bales, of which there were taken on speculation 21.600 American; 3,300 Pernams, and for expectation, 4000 Ameri can; 750 Pernams, and 40 Surat. The sales to-day were 12,000 bales. The committee’s quotations to-day for tair cotton are about 4£d; Mobile. 4|d; and New Orleans 4id. The estimated stocks are 667,720 bales; same time last year, 511,770 bales. A PROCLAMATION. MAYOR’S OFFICE. ) City of Savannah, $ The pestilence which has moro than once scourged the people of other countries, and which in former years afflicted so severely the inhnb’tants of our own laud, is again abroad.— Many of our sister cities already suffering beneath its chastise ment, and mourning for its victims. The whole Republic is lamenting over distinguished c tizens who have fallen beneath its blows. The mercy of the Almighty has heretofore spared our be loved city—although, in its last visitation, the dreadful disease was every where around and about us, yet it came not within our limits. The protecting arm of God was stretched out over our dwellings, and the destroying Angel passed them by. It well became our people to prostrate themselves in deep gratitude for such a signal mark of sparing mercy. The danger is again near to us. In the wise dispensation of Ills providence, the Almighty may yet again permit us to escape. But it is our duty to humble ourselves before Him, ns his people of old were taught to do, and in prayer and supplication to await His will. To the humble cry of a peo ple in earnest prayer, His ears are ever open. Moved by theso considerations the Common Council of the City of Savannah, have appointed To-day, the 28'h inst., as a duy of humiliation, fasting nnd prayer, and have directed me to issue my proclamation accordingly. Now, therefore, I, Richard Wayne, Mayor of the said City of Savannah, do issue this my proclamation, setting apart the day above mentioned for the purposes above mentioned. And I do hereby request the citizens to abstain on that day from all secular pursuits, nnd I also request the Reverend the Clergy, and the various religious denominations to observed the day with the customary aud appropriate solemnities.
