Tho cholera had appeared at the new dopot of Brookhill in Liverpool, and the number of deaths were increasing. Dr. Bosa and three emigrants died on the steamship Helvetia. An European Congress is again mooted. Franco will join the same with perfect disinterestedness. Tho La France newspaper says that many diplo matic notes have been exohanged by Cabinet Ministors. The opinion now is that the Congress ia to be limited to the consideration of pending questions. The Opinions Bays that if formal pro s' OBala shall be made for an European CongresB, Italy could accept on two conditions, viz: first, that ehe may remain armed, and second that the oession of Venetia shall be included in tho pro gramme of Congress-these conditions being es sential.

The London Shipping Gazette, of the evening of the 16th of May, announoes that the Bank of England raised the rate of interest for advance on stock to twelve per cent. In consequence of the great pressure for assistance in this shape on sp?culative accounts on etook exchange, the demand for discount accommodation was active at the bank.

The Herald's correspondent with the investigat ing commiBBion of Generals 8TEEDMAN and FUL LERTON writeB from Port Boyal and Savannah. A moro favorable condition of affairs ia noticeablo among tho freodmen in Port Boyal, Edisto and tho Hilton Head Islande. Tho same old story or Northern peculation and malfeasance, however, is told in relating the condition of the Sea Island settlors. In Georgia, the report is to the effect that the Freedmen's Bureau is an obstacle in the way of kindly feeling between the whites and blacks. The following Will be found very interest ing : THE SEA ISLANDS Are fifteen or twenty in number, and range in ex tent from two thousand acres to ono hundred thousand. A large proportion of this area, though it incitados some of the finest cotton growing laad in the world, is still undeveloped. Ono man I heard of on the main land, who has recently sold, for a dollar an acre, to a Northern company, fifty thousand aores of magnificent timber land which ho had held idle for forty years. CONDITION OF AFFAIBS. Generals Steedman and Fullerton, in pursuing the investigation, with the officers of the Freed men's Bureau, which they are conducting with so muoh impartiality, industry, and ability, have vis ited Wadmalaw. Edisto, Jehossoe, Port Boyal, and Hilton Head Islands; have personally inspect ed the condition of the freedmen, and discovered abundant evidences that in the past they bad been grossly robbed and ill-treated, and that some men muBt have made a large amount of money in this cruel and diBhonest manner; but under the present administration of Brevet Major-Gonoral Scott, Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau for the State, mattera are progressing as satisfactorily as coola be expected in a community recontly in a state approaching almost to chaos. OENEBAL BHEBHAN'S ORDERS. The exceptional condition of the Sea Islands is attributable to the orders which General Sherman issued alter his occupation of Savannah, in ?Tarni uary, 1865, setting apart the islands from Charles ton south for thirty miles back from the sea. for the settlement of negroes made free by acts of war and by emancipation proclamation. Th s was done for a double purposo, mainly to get rid of the great incubus or contrabands who were fol lowing his army and eating up his commissary, part also to punish the people of the State where the rebellion was conceived and cradled. Tho measurement of the allotments also was never properly carried out. As I mentioned in a previ ous letter, some of the " forty acres" were found to he only three and a half and some four hundred and fifty aores in extent. Thoo early in the his tory of the Boheme frauds and rascalities of every deaoriptlon were perpetrated; and were continued down to the end of General baxton's loose and in efficient administration. ST__HO-Om MATTERS UP. For some time post the Bureau and military au thorities have boen engaged in setting matters straight. All the plantations on wbiob there are no valid certificates have boen returned to their former owners, and those on which there are only a few have been returned, anbjeot to tho c? rtlfi ?-tes. Of the original settler?, few except these two hundred remain on the islands; the rest have moved back into Georgia, whence they come. . NUHBEtt Or FREEDK_*. , It is estimated that there are now about M.OOQL freedmen on the sea islands, namely : fVoni three** to four thousand on Edisto, fifteen hundrtd on Wadmalaw, two thousand on -John's, two thou sand on James, four thousand on Port Boyal, fivo thousand on St. Helena, and the balance on the smaller islands. THEIR CONDITION. The experiment of making the negro a planter on his own account has failed as signally as a hundred other experiments with the negro have failed. Those who bad land orders last year, and were in a position to grow twenty or thirty aores of cotton for themselves, have this year not a cent to bless themselves with, and have been living on charity all the winter. A planter on Edisto Island assured mo that every morning from a hundred to a hundred and fifty former owners of these certificates ("tifflties" the ne groes generally call them, but one darkey called them "otifftienee") come to bim begging for food or work. In tbo first place, they raised miserable crops; in the next, they were robbed by Northorn speculators, working under the shadow of the Burean, of what little they did raise. NORTH!_N OPPRESSION. We met with a merited case of this kind on Wad malaw Island. Driving over a plantation, we halted at a atoro, round which a group of forty or fifty squalid negroes were gathered, receiving their day's wage?. There., were no contracts on this farm. The hands were engaged from day to day at fifty cents a " task." The storekeeper was paying them when we came up, and was giving them, not money, but tickets for provisions. He explained that he often had no money wherewith to pay them, BO he gave them their earnings in goods. We inquired the prices at wbioh the stores were sold. We found that corn, which sells in Charleston market at a dollar and ?thirty cents a bushel, and is worth In Wadmalaw Island, with transportation added, certainly less than a dollar and fifty cents, was being doled out to them at three dollars a bushel. Twenty-five cents was charged for a package containing twenty-two bis cuit?, suoh as might be bought in New York three for a cent, and everything else was in like propor tion. Should there be anything still duo to the negroos, after they had purchased the necessary meal and bacon, there were beads and cheap jew elry-sure to attract the negro's eye-displayed in the store to absorb the balance of his earnings. Thus, while they were apparently paid fair wages for their work, more than half then* earnings were every day takon back from them in the snape of profit on the goods in wbioh they were p?\ld in lieu of money, tien. Steedman asked who leased the plantation. He was told Mr. Underwood, of Bos ton. This Mr. Underwood does nob reside on the plantation. MEETING OF CITIZENS IN SAVANNAH. On Friday ovoning a largo number of the lead ing citizens of Savannah met at tho Pulsski House, where General Steedman is staying (and which, with the Mills House at Charleston, is ono of the few hotels in the South conducted with something Uko Northorn enterprise and success), to confer with the Government Commissioners. The feeling expressed by the meeting was that the Froedme-s Bureau, howover well administered, was au uuueco-ary and an unmitigated evil, and a number of instances were mentioned of conn ties whore no Bnreau exists, in wbioh tho freed men are working better, receiving better wagoa, and aro more happy and contented than in dis tricts controlled by the Bureau. tee The Columbus (Miss.) Index Bays : " Mr. BEN. TAYLOR lost a fine horso on Saturday lost. Tho beast waa harnessed in a common carryall, and becoming frightened, ran away with it, and splin tered the shafts. He was then placed in a stout cart, ran off again, dashed under ? beam erected for cleaning hogs, missed killing his owner by Just one inoh, and finished the programma by attornpt , ing to leap a picket fence seven or eight feet high. In this ho failed ; being transfixed on the sharp j points of two pickets, terrible holes being modi in his breast, and the cart hanging behind him. | He waa finally uhot to relieve him of hi? agony." ? ?a? i The first green oom of the Mason made ita ap i pearan?- at New Orleans on tho li W*.

The following interesting letter on the proepeot of war in Europe will be read with interest. It is from the Now York Tribune of the 24th : FLOBEKOE, May 5, 1866.-Tho preparations for war astmxno such a character that thoro is no pos sible hope for the preservation of peace. All the reserves wero called in on Monday, and the samo day in tho evening the Cabinet asked the Chamber for full powers as regards the financial measures, and to suspend all constitutional guarantees about taxation. Tho Chamber of Commons unanimously voted them without discussion. On Tuesday, the Senatu accorded tho narnu full powers with the same unanimity ; and on Wednesday a royal de cree suspended cash paymont at the banks, and declared the notes of the National Bank at Florence, and of the Neapolitan and SioiUan Bank, to be legal tender, against a two hundred and fifty million loan to bo paid by thoso institutions in cash, interest one-a-half per cent. As it transpired that Oon. La Marmora objects to any alliance with the revolution, and does not want the oo-oporation of the volunteers under Garibaldi, a great demonstration took place in tho evening. About 5000 to 8000 young men, most ly artisans, led by the baker Dolo, proceeded through the streets, with bands striking alter nately the royal march o! Oaves and the hymn of Garibaldi, for war and Italy. Similar scones were reported to have taken place at Milan, Turin, Naples, Parma, Catania, Messina and Palermo. At Milan a Committee was formed for taking down tho names of all those who, in case Garibaldi should be called, are willing to follow his fortunes. At Turin the students of tho University took the initiative for the formation of an Academic Logion, comprising all the studenta of Italy. The mem | here of the Jockey Club at Florence, belonging to the nobility of the capital, declared their willing ness to form a squadron of lancera, with the "obligation of mounting and sustaining it during the war. Yesterday the opposition insisted upon a secret meeting of Parliament, in which, as it leaked out, the Cabinet was asked to give the reasoDB why Garibaldi, has not yet been called for, since some frieuds of the General had retnrned on Wednes day from Oaprera with the news that be is ready at a moment s notice to como to the continent, but requires to be called, for he does not wish to trouble Government and to disturb their plans by his arrival, whioh would become the signal of a moat extended agitation. The fact is that La Marmora does not uko Garibaldi, and that he fears lest the volunteers, after a victorious oampaign, might be unwilling to lay down arms and might prefer to march r.f:?\:^l Borne. He wanted, there fore, to give Garibaldi a mixed command, a divi __ of regulars togo with the volunteers; the General remaining under Gialdiai's command. But Garibaldi objected to such an arrangement. " If the ?Sing trusts mo," said he, " let him give me an independent command of my volunteers. Regular Generals do not understand how to deal with such an irregular force. If he does not truat me, I remain quietly at Caprera, until be needs me upon my own terms." La Marmora, however, seema to have boen struck by the enormous popularity of the hero all over Italy, and doolared at the seoret meeting that Government m tonda to avail itself of Gari baldi's eervices, but he claimed for the Cabinet the determination of the precise time when the formation of the volunteers is to take place. Of course the authorization for organizing free corps amount? to a formal declaration of war ?gain?t Austria, while it seems advisable that the war should not begin before tho end of the month. The opposition declared themselves satisfied with La Marmora'? explanations, and offered their full cono "ronco in the great work of the liberation of Venetia* It is believed that the royal decree for auttiorizing Garibaldi to form his volunteers is already signed, and the publication depends only upon diplomatio circumstances. So much ia cer tain that a firm at Pintoja has got the order for lvi_*\s?a ehlrts. ? The- Austrian?,!too, are preparing for the great struggle. The Venetian Ballway has been occu pied ny the military, all tho Italian regiments and . onscripts are hurried off to the interior of the empire, the foreigners at Venice have reoeived no tice to leave the fortress within a week, and the officers are to send away their wives and families to the German Provinces. The Italian papera- at once remarked that, aa it is wicked to sever the family ties, they will do their best to send the Austrian officers with all their soldiers now in Venetia as soon as possible out of the country to join their families. The postal communication is irregular between Verona and the Italian frontier. .Gold, which on Saturday last was quoted at Vien na at four and a half per cent, was yesterday at el 'bteen, while here at Florence the discount is only at two per cent. And while confusion reigns at Vienna, i ho Counts Mensdorf and Belcredi still oppoHO a hearty r?concili?t! ?n with Hungary or au arrangement with Italy, but they are ready to treat with Bismark. The cunning, unscrupulous Prussian, however, continues his armaments, and tries to paralyze Bavaria by offering her the command of Southern Germany. His plan for the organization of Ger many is certainly a precious piece of impudence. Prussia is to tako the command of all the North ern forces of Germany, Bavaria of all the South ern ones, while Austria ia to have exclusively her own army. The plan also contemplates a Parlia ment at Frankfort, to be elected by universal suf frage, who axe to be limited to the vote of the budget. Prussia takes the diplomatic representa tion of Germany entirely into her own hands; but, respecting the independent sovereignty of all the thirty-four States, elie leaves the power of ap pointing Consuls and Consular Agenta in foreign countries!. Austria is now in a destitute condi tion, and ?till she refuses to yield to Hungary. Well, if she wants a revolution at all hazards, she ean have it at Pesth ae at Vienna. France, in the meantime, professes the strictest, most honest neutrality, but ominously mentions that she means to keep her full liberty of action. Russia, too, is arming, and the Prince of Ho henzollern, unlike the Count of Flanders, has not yet refused the throne of Moldo-Watlaohia. We bear even that the Hungarian Legion in Italy ia to be sent to the east-that is to say, to the Da nubian Principalities. Thus it nooma that Aus tria ia to be attacked on every aide, and if she escapes now a complete disaster it will be a mira do. Had she in time yielded to Hungary, and oeded Venetia to Italy for 1,000,000,000 of francs, ehe might have inaugurated a new era in Eastern Europe; but it B*"?I_ that short-sighted obstinacy roigns paramo*. ? in the oonnoila of Francis Jo seph. Ho does not BOO m to understand the dan ver by which he is eusronnded, or perhaps he trusts to the proverbial luck of the House of Austria. It is certain that all the small princes and kings of Germany and Austria at heart snp fiort him: but their support is scarcely worth hav ng, divided as they aro among themselvos. As to the Gorman nation, it has not displayed much common sense during tho present crisis, Abovo fifty popular meetings have boen held in Prussia, and about as many out of Prussia, ali ot them professing to distrust Biemark's plan for the reconstrnctionof Germany, and protesting against a war between Prussia and Austria. But not one meeting in a hundred bad the idea of recommend ing to Austria the cession of Venetia to Italy, as the only means of severing the alliance between Bismark and La Marmora, and thus paralyzing Pruesia, since it is quite clear tbat Bismark, with all his impertinonco, hae not the courage to attack Austria single-handed. Now it is too late; the war is only a question of time, just aa it ia only a question of opportunity whother Prussia or Italy la to strike the first blow, unless Austria should once more be graoiouo enough to relieve her enemies of any responsibility by making herself the first step, just M ehe did in 1869. ?a.?
