There is a very decided improvement in ebmmereial ABkirs aa exhibited ia the rise of consols to 91 and which ie an improvement of three per cent, from the lewendepreaeion. Ia Eddish qaotations a valaatton of two or three per per eent on console is comparatively Urge. English funds never flactnate as oars do, two or three per cent, in a day. The news is confirmed of the transfer of mnnitiona, armaments and part of a ere from the British steamer Laurel a Urge screw steamer called the Sea commanded by Capt. Semmee, late of the Alabama, off Madeira.

The distress in the cotton districts continues to increase. Lord Palmereton and Earl Biissell hare been lately making speeches, in which they allode to American affairs, expressing regret at the continuance of the war, and hopes that it may soon be brought to an end bat repeat-leg the English pnrpoee of neutrality and noa-intervention. Earl RarseLt added the ex-ptesdon of his own gratification la the conviction that, however the war might ends in ether rerpecte, the freedom of the Afrioan race will grow ont of it. In the case of the murderer Mailer, some new facts are alleged to hare beendieooverad, which, if trne, make oat a clear case of alibi, and explain some of the evidence against him. so as to be eontigtent with his innocence, and npon this an application is praseed npon the Secretary of State for a respite.

It Is not likely that it will prevail. He was, most probably, hanged on the appointed day the 14th. The seizors of the Florida by the Wacha-sett is very mnch diseassed in the foreign papers, without any difference of opinion that it was unlawful. Even the London Morning Star, the organ of Mr. Bright, and the warmest supporter in Europe, of the Union caase, calls it an unquestionable and unpardonable outrage," and expects the D.

8. Government to make a prompt offer of reparation to Brazil. It is likely that tha Cabinet of Washington is ready to make the explanation and the proffer alwaye with the effort, If peesible, to avoid the reetitntion of the vassal, instead of which they will agree to make liberal compensation, if Beport says that Secretary Welles is the only member of the Cabinet disposed to rapport the act of Capt. Collins. The Wachoeett ia telegraphed at Boston to arrive to-day.

The Brazilian authorities at San Salvador carpended the functions of Mr. WiteoB, the U. S. Consol at that port, and he baa arrived at Washington. The two great excitements of the hoar are the Sherman expedition into Florida, and the daring attempt, last night, to barn up the principal hotels of the city, by setting fir te them eimnltaneonsly.

Sherman has undertaken one of the mst daring exploits of the war. If raeeessfal, it will be a most brilliant achievement If it fails, a grand disaster, which it will require stupendous exertions and immense armaments to repair. Ha has col himself off from all with tie rear, and relies only on the supplies be takes with him, and on sacking tba eeoBtry through which ha travels. Sop-posed bis army is penetrating, with above fifty thousand men, towards tha seacoast. The accounts of bis progress are, indefinite.

Up to tha 19th ha was making his way without serkrui obstruction towards Macon, and there are rumors that be had taken MiUedge-viQe and Griffin, destroying both places, nnd aiming for Aognsta with at least a column of bis army. His ultimate purpose is ankno wn. It is eosiectnred that he may be aimiag for Savannah to open a basis of communication with the North by sea, or perhaps by Charleston. The Georgians and the Confederate Government are generally excited, and harrying to arms and sending forward troops aa fast as they can, to delay his march aad cnt off his uppliee, with a view to gather an army to fight him before he reaches the objective Tha anxiety about sJLurs there intense here, and tha apacatioos ia Virginia are lost eight of for a while.

All these things are, however, aim wt forgotten thia morning in tha amazement at the widersad, aad nearly fKoeaifol attempt last night, to bora soma of tha great hoteU-Between tha boars af 8 aad 9 o'clock last evening, fires were discovered, aimoltaneoes-ly, at tha St James Hotel, at the of Broadway aad Twanty-eixth streets, the St Nicholas, tba Metropolitan, the Lafarge, all oa Broadway, Lrviag'e Hotel, ta Park at Tamataay Hoteimnd at Baraam'e Masenm.

Many suppose it to be the work of a gang of thieves, who expected to play their nefarious acta amidst the general eonfaaiou. The villains were not very adroit for either object, in commencing the work at so early an hoar.

Four hours later, and they might have had a terrible saeeees in making one of the most awful conflagrations ever yet known, and scenes of distress which it makee one shudder to think of. DETAILS OF.

Several arrests bad been nude, and as the authorities were on the alert, and had several clues ia their hands, it seemed most probable that the perpetrators of this dastardly deed would, beyond peradventure be discovered. Gen. Banks, it is bow positively reasserted is to return to New Orieana. Gen.

Butler, it ie as positively asserted, will go into the Cabinet. Mr. Attorney General Bates has definitely, retired for the post of Attorney General.
