Advice* have been received from Sydney up to May 21), and from Bathurst up to May 24, by the Teviot. They were obtained from the chip Thomas Arbuthnot, which touched at Pernambuco on her why from Sydney to England. Some of the crew of her Majesty's steamer Acheron were sent home in her to work her quickly in order to convey to the English government the im portant intelligence that a gold mine had been discovered at Bathurst. The utmost confusion and excitement prevailed at Bathurst, and hundreds of persons were going to the diggings. A thousand pounds worth of gold had arrived in Sydney from the gold mines within the last two or three days. Provisions at the diggings had risen to an enormous price. Great dissatisfaction prevailed amongst the miners on account of government having overlooked the claims of Mr. Ilargmves. The miners at present at work at the diggings arc 1,500 in number. Many are getting from 201. to 401. worth a week. In dig ging for the gold, rubies have been discovered in the Manning ltiver. The following extracts from the Empire, Sydney paper, of the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd of May last, with respect to the discovery, arc of interest: The sum of the information contained in the letters from Bathurst is, that there is gold, but great uncertainty and difficulty in getting it. 'The following is an extract of a letter from an extensire landholder in the Bathurst dis triet - It is evident, from the lameness of this acantat, that the Spaniards were not triumphant. Below is the °theist account of the capture of the Inca in the boats, who were on their way, it is said, to surprise a fort on the coast : 4 71frithiellent Seem General D. Jose Marie de Bus* , kw * Illeineral Commander of the navy in that district, be roday, at half-past one o'clock, a.m., the following sonteennication to the Governor General : " Your Excellency—l started yesterday froM Bahia- Honda, in the steamer Habanero, with a view to recon noitre the coast of Playas, and Morino, in order to remove all the means by which the pirates could possibly escape; or, in case of more expeditions to these points, to remove the means of disembarkation. At 7 o'clock in the morning, I communicated with the inhabitants of Morillo, and was informed by the propticton that, at ten o'clock on the pre ceding night, one pert of them embarked in four boats, which were OR the shore, in order to go to New Orleans, by taking the first vessel they could find. Having calculated the hour of their sailing, and the distance probably made in ten hours, and supposing they had taken the direction of New Orleans, which was the cause of their having disappeared from the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, I proceeded in that direction eighteen miles, with full steam; but, after having accomplished that distance, I could not discover any of those I pursued. Believing that the road they had fol lowed was within the rocks, I directed my steamer to that point and made the greatest exertions to encounter the fugitive pirates. At ten o'clock in the morning I found myself in the proximity of the passage, and detected the four boats navigating along the coast, but so near to it that I was afraid of my inability to seize them. In order to take them, I ordered the steam to be pressed as much as visible; and I think myself correct in affirming to your Excellency that the steamer was running thirteen miles. This was not enough to overtake them. I could only seize one. Two others were upon the rocks of the island, and the fourth upon the rocks of Ca yo Levies.. When I seized the , men of the first. boat, I armed the boats of the ship in order to pursue the second and third, which were on the rocks ' • but the officers of the army who were in the boats, as well as the troops and sailors, the commander of the boat, D. Ignacio de Arel hum, and the captain of the steamer Cantina., D. Francisco Hatolt—who, stimulated by his patriotism, has taken a part in all the service* tendered by this boat—threw themselves in the water to pursue the pirates, of whom two only escaped. Having left their arms, we did not pursue them, in order to occupy ourselves with the boat in Cayo Levisa, for it was one of the largest and contained more men. In short, I armed the boats, and directed them to stop the debarkation of the men who were looking for a landing, and to pursue these fugitive pirates. These, twenty-four in number, were hidden within a small creek, having the boat drawn up among the rocks, and here the pirates were seized. The number of the prisoners were fifty well armed men, headed by a chief and five officers. "This important result proves that the faction is dispirited, and that the greater number have sought their safety by flight, astonished at the bravery of our soldiers, and COII. vinced that theft doctrines cannot find an echo in the coun try. At half-past 2 o'clock in the evening I returned to Morino, as the inhabitants who informed me of the depar ture of the pirates told me also that some parties of the fugitives were wandering in the neighbourhood, and that the troops of her Majesty were at a small distance from this place. I sent to the commander, by a faithful peasant, this communication, with the names of the prisoners, whom " We arc all in the greatest excitement here, some from joy, some from despair, anticipating famine, discus and death. lam glad to hear the military are coming up ; we shall sadly want them. Went to the diggins, and in three hours got one ounce of gold in one bright lump. Carriage is so high I are afraid we shall not be able to get up supplies." Another letter received by a Sydney merchant states that rock salt has been discovered in the search for gold. A re gular company is at work under the auspices of a member of council, whose daily operations average in their result a full ounce per man. The Masrland Mercury states that gold has been dis covered in the tract of country, situate between Summerbill on the south, and Dubbo on the north, and known as the Wellington district. The more authentic accounts warrant us in believing that one large piece of nine ounces, and two or t►rec small pieces of several ounces weight, and some pounds of grain, and dust have already been found by the partite engaged in digging there. Three apprentices who ran away from Bathurst returned ins few days with 17 ounces of gold, which sold for 51f. Considerable quantities of gold and gold dust were wait ing at Bathurst when the Thomas Arbuthnot left Sydney, until an escort should convoy it to the latter place. The shove•mentioned ship has a piece of gold on board weighing 4 Otis. ; it is from Bathurst, and is intended to be placed in the Great Exhibition.

The proceedings of the inquest had scarcely closed yesterday, when Captain loam, R.E., one of the govern ment inspectors of railways, arrived here, for the purpose el making an oMcial investigation into the circumstances Mending the accident. He immediately commenced his inspection, which was accompanied by experiments with the eae and tender, and prolonged until dusk. Thedica of Itit of the sufferers were removed from Biomesr last evening. The remains of Elizabeth Eadey are still lying at the King's Head. The sufferers confined here are, it is hoped, going on wall, and two or three have already proceeded to their homes. ADJOURNED INQUEST. _ _ Tho,Coroner's inquiry was resumed ibis morning, at 10 o'clock. 'HE GREAT EXHIBITION. The jury having answered to their names, accompanied the Coroner to the line, there to meet Mr. M'Connell, who had promised that at 10 o'clock this morning he would have the engine to which the accident had occurred upon the railway, in order that the jury might see its action over the points. It was mentioned yesterday that the " joint chair" near the shoulder of the points leading front the main line into the siding had been broken asunder longitudinally, as if by lateral force. Such a fracture of a joint chair is precisely the one which would in all probability occur if a locomotive engine, in passing through or over points, should take one line, and the tender and carriages another. To ascertain whether this would explain the accident, the engine to which it occurred was to-day taken to the points, which were thrown open to allow the leading and centre wheels to get upon the main or straight line. When the leading wheel of the engine had been brought up to the shoulder of the point, the handle was let loose, and they were allowed to spring back as far as the leading wheel would admit of. The engine was now propelled very gradu ally over the points, and it was found that the trailing wheels did really take the siding while the leading wheels were upon the main line, and it was at once seen that had the engine been taken a few yards further she must have gone off the rails. Another suggestion was, that the points had been kept open until the engine had passed, and that they were let louse at the moment the tender came up to them. An engine and tender of the same class as those employed to work the Oxford down excursion train on Saturday were taken to the points, which were opened to allow the engine to pass on to the main line. The handle of the points was then let go, and the consequence was that the tender, when drawn forward, went upou the aiding, and had the engine been allowed to proceed the tender must have been immediately forced off the rails. On the return of the jury to the King's Head, the exa mination of witnesses was proceeded with. A gentleman, who gave his name as Wagstaff, appeared to-day to watch the case for the London and North Wertern Company. Captain bill'an was present. Anne Bowerman was on the down platform at the Bicester station on Saturday evening shortly before seven o'clock. I had inquired whether the excursion train would stop at Bicester. I first asked Henry Harris, the policeman, and afterwards of the swims master. They both told me, Yes " The trains front Loudon always stop in the "sid ing" at Bicester. I waited until I saw the train approach. I did not hear any whistle. I heard the station-master tell Harris to hoist his red flog, and call to another man to put on the signal to stop. That was after I saw the train ap proaching. I saw Harris hold up his red flag. I did not see any man further up the line towards London with a flag. I then saw the accident. I can't describe it at all. I was too frightened to observe anything. It being now proposed to examine the company's ser vants, Sir Harry Verney and the other gentlemen of the line were requested to retire, and did so, with the excep tion of Mr. M'Connell, who also withdrew after some con versation. . . . . . The return of fine weather, the completion of the harvest, and the consequent increase of leisure .among the people, are showing their results in the daily increasing numbers of visitors (upwards of 58,000 yesterday), who now flock to the Crystal Palace, indicating that before, its close a higher return will probably be reached than has yet appeared at the foot of the daily report. Yesterday morning the thoroughfares leading thereto presented all the crowd, noise, and confusion that distinguished the height of the Midsummer season. The pupils of the Bristol Deaf and Dumb Institution arrived under the superintendence of their teachers, some of whom were deaf and dumb also, and examined the vs ried contents of the palace with much interest and atten tion. The strong sympathy of these interesting children with the beautiful was manifested by the articles they se lected for admiration, and the celerity with which they conversed with their teachers by signs was quite wonder ful. They were all marshalled at four o'clock by a mute standard-bearer, and marched away to the railway station iu a most regular and orderly manner. Another party con sisted of about 30 of the aged inmates of the Richmond workhouse, with the toaster at their head, and were the I objects of much curiosity, in consequence of their decent appearance and the advanced age of some of them. One patriarch had reached the comfortable age of 101, and he marched about attended by two squires of the body, and minutely inspected every object of attraction. lie was pleased to intimate that the Exhibition had nut, on the whole, disappointed him, and received graciously the con tributions which many of the visitors premed on him. 'rho last, and we believe the most skilled detachment of the Sardinian artisans, were also present, and were con ducted round the machinery department by . Messrs. Newman and Biddle. '1 heir pertinent inquiries sheered a high amount of intelligence, and their manners were much more polished than is generally found to be the case amongst men of the same class in this country. A very ingenious machine for folding newspapers was one of the inventions set iu motion fur their inspection. It is patented by Messrs. Birchall, of Preston, and is somewhat similar in its action to the Edinburgh ma chine which we noticed some time since. It will fold 30 papers in a minute, and would no doubt be of considerable use if the system of aborinenteng were more general among London newspapers. It works with great precision and celerity, and the beautiful contrivances by which the impulse of the steam is made to produce the various intricate evolu tions incident to the process of folding, reader it an object well worthy ;of inspection. It may be attached to and fed from an ordinary steam-printing machine, and acting in that way would greatly exceed in despatch the present mode of drawing and folding by manual labour. In the foreign nave there were many anxious inquirers for Mr. Hobbs, but that gentleman was absent, busily preparing his lock for trial, an Englishman having at last been found hardy enough to accept his challenge. The bold individual is named Wm. Garbutt, a working smith, recently in the em ployment of Messrs. Fox and Henderson, and who has been much engaged in keeping the metal check tables in order. I lle is to have 30 days uninterrupted trial, and Mr. Hobbs has offered him his own tools to work with. We may here observe, that one of the most pleasing features in this interest. I nig mechanical struggle is that all parties acknowledge to re eave the most perfect fair play from their opponents. Kr. Hobbs has been loud in his acknowledgments of the eau dour of the Loudon press and public, and now William Garbutt declares that Mr. Hobbs could not possibly be oat:done in chivalric generosity. " May the best man etre." seems to be the only sentiment in fashion amongst the belligerents. The Swedish department matinees to oaks tardy revelations, but the goods are as yet hardly La a state to admit of fair and sufficient examination. The great woe is fairly installed, and forms a very striking allot in the nave. It is said to be the largest article in porphyry that has been produced for some years, and is deo tonuirkable for grace of form and beauty of workmanship. There are several other articles of a more Wisely and nodal kind, which we shill take another [opportunity Of noticing in detail.

It is urged that the superiority which we have long enjoyed in the abundance of raw material and fuel for the purposes of manufacturing industry is rapidly disappearing before the increased means of toccata tion and transit, and that soon the greater skill and Weld genes of continental workmen, fostered as they are by this state, will leave us behind if means be not takes to put us on a heel with our competitors in these pardoning,.

I was driving the excursion train from Bletchley to Oxford on Saturday evening. When we started from Bletchley our train consisted of 12 or 14 carriages, including two vans and a horse box. I received no instructions as to stoppages between Bletchley and Oxford. I got uo instructions as to the excursion train from the station master at Bletchley. lam not sure that I saw him. I did not know that I should have to bring the excursion train down to Oxford until 1 gal to Bletchley. The ordinary train for me to have brought back would have been the 7.20 p.m. from Bletchley. The excursion train reached Bletchley about twenty-one or twenty-two minutes past six. Afar my arrival at Bletchley, I received instructions from Mr. bleFedzen the foreman of the locomotive department, that I should have to take the excursion train to Oxford. lie did not tell me that I should have to stop at any station between Bletchley and Oxford. With ordinary trains we always know where to stop; but with excursion trains we only stop where we want to take water, unless we receive special orders from some one. The guard is the party to whom 1 look for my instructions on this point. Benjamin Hoed was one of the guards of the excursion train on Satur day night. There was a second guard whose MIMI, I don't kuow. 1 received no directions dem either of these guards to stop between Bletchley and Oxford. Rood, the guard, asked me before I started whether I was going to run through to Oxford? 1 told hint no, and that 1 should stop at Winslow to take water. 1 did stop at Winslow tor about three minutes. The distance from Winslow to Biceater is about 123 miles. I started in an ordinary manner from Winslow. The rate of speed afterwards varied according to the gradients of the line, which ore:a parts rather heavy. The maximum speed between Wins low and Bicester was not, I think, more than 35 miles an hour. There is a curve for a very considerable distance before you come into the Bicuster station. You cannot see the station until you come round the curve—that is about a quarter of a utile from the station. There is an auxiliary signal plated ou the curve. I noticed that signal on Satur day evening. I could see it more than one hundred yards distant. It is an upright post with arms, and by our rules, if a driver is desired to sleeken speed, the semaphore arm on the left hand side should be raised to au angle of 45 degrees. (The witness here produced a copy of the printed rules, with which all drivers are provided, and called the I aldermen of the coroner to the rule in question.) Oa Saturday evening the signal was raised to au angle of 45 degrees, and I slackened speed iu consequence. When I first saw o: signal I was going at about 25 miles an hour. There is no other signal post before you get to Bicester. There is one beyond tiie statieu ' towards Oxford. A police- Man is stationed at the points before you run into the sta tion. A man named Wilmot was at the points. When I was very near hint I saw him wind his flag, to give me a signal. lie bad no flag unrolled when 1 first saw him. He was not then more than 20 yards from me. Atter un rolling it, I saw him wave it. The red flag is to signal us to stop. At this time I was endeavouring to stop by re versing the engine. I had not reversed it when 1 passed hint. My stoker was watching like myself, and expecting to run through the station. A Juror—ln the absence of any signal to the contrary, should you have run through Bicester to Oxford? Witness—Ye,, sir. As I passed the policeman I saw him take hold of the points handle. Had he not touched the points the rails in their natural way would have curried the train into the aiding. In order to go straight through it is necessary that the points should be moved and held fast un til the train was passed. My engine went upon the straight line. After 1 had crossed the points I felt a sud den jerk on the foot plate where I was standing. I had not reversed the engine at that time. I had my hand upon the reversing lever, but was not able to use it in conse quence of the jerk. Atter I felt the jerk I looked back and distinctly saw my tender too far to the left, and 1 then hoard the grinding of the wheels against the rails. The next moment the tender broke away altogether and jumped about the line. My engine jumped at the same time and went across the turnpike road. After the jerk I felt a mo tion as if I was in a boat upon a wave. 1 belt the engine come in contact with the gate-post of the road gate. When I got offsthe engine I ran up the line towards the broke& carriages. I saw the guard's break vouch shattered and the tender with four wheels off the line and two on the line. the latter was lying nearly opposite where the engine was. I think there were about live or six carriages left on the rails. The guard's break was lying upon its side between the aiding and the straight line. The carriages which were overthrown were lying upon the left of the siding. I then assisted in opening the doors of the carriages to let the pas- ...gen out- Coroner—Did you know that you had a eon in the train? Wituess (much affected)—Yes. I row him upon the plat form at Bletehley. lie had come up from Wolverton, and was going to Orford by the 7.20 p.m. train. As I drove the ex cursion train he preferred to come by that, and he got into one of the second-clan carriages before the train started. I opened the doors of as many carriages as I could, and got others to assist. When the steam had blown off the engine I went back to that. I then found that a rail had become entangled in the near driving wheel, and twisted nearly double. I then took means to extinguish the tire. After that I went hack to the carriages to assist. 1 thought of my son, and of course I lookel for him. I got slime horses, and drew back the tender a short iii.nuice, bat we foetid we could do but little. I remained on the spot until the body of my boy was found. When I got to Skeeter it was light enough to see one hundred yards. It was about 7. Coroner—Can you, being an engine-driver, form any opinion as to what caused the deviation of the train ? Winn:ma—My firm belief is, that at the time I mune to the points they were open, and that. the engine passid on to the straight line, and immediately afterwards, from some cause which I cannot explain, the points became clused, which ' threw the carriages off the line. By so doing, at the speed et which wu were coming, it would naturally draw the car riages off the siding towards the straight line. In coming off the siding the axle buses would break by the wheels coming in contact with the sleepers. That would put the wheels out of order and cause the carriages to break, and by one s topping, the others coining up behind would crush upon it, and they would all ho overturned together. The first intimation I had to stop at Bicester wail seeing the man at the points unrol his mil flag. Coroner—Did you notice any light at the Bie.iler station on Saturday night ? Witness—Yes, sir. I observed a white light on the signal post beyond the station. That would indicate the line being clear. I met Wilmot on the line shortly after wards, and I said to him " how is this ?" Ile moved hie ' hands up, and replied " I don't know." henry Harris was next called and examined. lie said— ' lam a policeman on the Buckinghamshire hallway, and . am the gatekeeper at the level crossiu4 of the Aylesbury ! turnpike road, which crosses the railway close to the , station.maiter's house at Bioester.

THE BRAZILIAN MAILS. The Royal Mail Company's steam packet, Teviot, Captain Riven, arrived at Southampton this morn ing. and landed her mails under the charge of Lieut. O'Reilly, R.N., Admiralty agent. Her dates are: ' Buenos Ayres, July 28 ; Monte-Video, 31; Rio de Janeiro, Aug. 14; Bahia, 18; Pernambuco, 21; St. Vin cent, 28 ; Teneriffe, Sept. 1; Madeira, 3; Lisbon, 6. She brings seventy-seven passengers, amongst whom are Mr. Macdonald, Governor of the Gambia, Sir Charles Watson, the Dean of Llandaff; thirty were landed at Lisbon. The freight list comprises diamonds, value 27,0001.; gold dust, value 3,349/. sterling; and a general cargo. Both at Bahia and Pernambuco business was very dull, the market being overstocked. In Bahia the sugar crop, a good average one, was nearly finished, and the prospects of the next is good. The opera-house at Rio was burnt down on the Bth of August. The city was perfectly healthy, as also were Bahia and Pernambuco. _ _ The ship Thomas Arbuthnot arrived at Pernambuco from Sydney on the 20th of Au ,, ast. She confirms the newg of the finding of a gold mine at Bathurst, New South Wales. She had a lump of gold four pounds weight onboard. Particulars are given elsewhere. lirquisa has entered the Banda Oriental, at the head of 8,000 men. The cholera has abated in the Grand Canaries, after carrying away 9,000 persons. The Cape steamer left St. Vincent three days be fore the Teviot. Our correspondent writes as follows: RIO DE JANEIRO, Atm. 13. The Geyser arrived yesterday from Monte Video, but brought no regular mail or newspapers. Various reports are in circulation as to the state of things there on her departure, but the only certain infor mation I can obtain is that Oribc had marched to prevent the junction of Urquirs's forces with those of Brazil, having left Colonel Lucale in Cerrito with a force of 1,500 men ; also that a formal declaration had been made to Admiral Le Predour that hostilities would commence on the 3th of August. Private letters state that Admiral Le Predour had replied to the Montevidean government, that " what ever determination it might arrive at he would answer for the safety of the city of Montevideo." Another letter states that the Brazilian steamer Pedro Segundo had sunk two small vessels which were conveying military stores up the river Parana. We had a large fire in Rio on the night of the 10th; the theatre of St. Pedro d'Alcantara was burnt to the ground. It was one of the largest in the' world, and the loss to the proprietors is estimated at 300 cootos of reis. In the coffee market sales to the amount of 38,000 bags are reported since the lit of this month, and are advance of 100 to 150 reis has taken place in prices Of mew idle we have had an exceedingly limited supply, and hive every reason to believe that the di l amp is well sigh exhausted; dealers are veep gm in their demands, and there is every moped et a further rise in prices. In a former letter, after having detailed to yea the vigorous and effective measures taken by the Bra zilian government for the suppression of the slave trade, I expressed a fear that some act of violence or injustice on the part of our cruisers would change the favourable course which things were taking. I am sorry to state that my prediction has been ful filled, and will now state to you some of those pro ceedings, which are greatly to be lamented, inasmuch as they tend to frustrate the object in view, but doubly so in that they disgrace our English flag, and reflect deep discredit upon our naval officers. The first case which I have to report is the capture and destruction of the brig Piratimin, and the facts °, the MSC I will state in as few words as possible, leav ing you to form your own opinion of the legality of the capture. The Piratinim sailed from Bahia with a cargo of 4,000 alaseires of salt, 37 packages of earthenware and china, and • few barrels of sherry and Madeira wines. Her passengers were the Senhor ',vita°, the owner of a large sugar estate near Cuwpos, and 97 slaves belonging to the same gentle man. (It is necessary here to remark, that about one-third of the number were mulattos, and that all the others were creole', and speaking the Portuguese language.) Each slave was provided with a Nesport from the poice authorities of Bahia, had been duly despatched from that port, and bad embarked publicly, and during the I day time; in short, the cargo of the Piratinim was in all respects a legal one, and she pursued her voyage with all the confidence and fancied security of a honest trader. A few days after leaving port she was encountered by the Sharpshooter steamer, whose signal to lie to was immediately responded to; her despatches, &c., were produced, but, undeniable as was the evidence offered of her innocence, the Piratinim was adjudged to bo a lawful prize, the slaves were transferred to the Sharpshooter, and to crown all, " a general division (says the Jormal do Commereio) of the wines, china, and other spoil was made amongst the officers and crew of the Sharpshooter; the Piratinim was then set fire to and sunk!" The excitement and indignation caused in Rio by this disgraceful proceeding was intense, and scarcely had the popular feeling in some d subsided, when a new outrage was reported, eve e := justifiable if pom i ble than the preceding. Tho Basilian brig Nova Mello, left this port for Banta Catharine on the 20th of July, with a cargo of merchandise of the value of about 2,0001. sterling, on the 28th she was detained by the steamer Locust, and although absolutely nothing was Mad on board to criminate her, yet she wee mode a prig of and sent to St. Helena.

Coffee.—Prices, which were firm at the close of the past month, have since advanced, in consequence of the unim portant receipts of new, together with turther arrivals from the United States, which alone almost invariably suffices to render the market firmer. Since the arrival of the Teviot business has been almost restricted to the completion of cargoes, and our quotatations have reference to the prices required by the dealers, whilst purchasers can only be found at a reduction of fully 100 eels per aerobe. The accounts from the interior represent the falling off of the present crop compared with that of 1830-1851 as likely to be greater than was previously supposed, and if this be hereafter confirmed a further advance may be anticipated, both here and likewise in foreign markets. Advice' are, however, so very conflicting, that is not possible to arrive at any correct estimate. The sales since let may be estimated at about 28,000, all, excepting 5,0110 bags, for the United States.

The movement of the various markets during the past month war of mom then usual interest. . Imports were upon a more extended scale than in any previous month since July, 1847; the sales in coffee were in ads mice of those in the like month of any previous year ; the revenue of the customs exceeded that of any previous month of any year. As respects articles of import it may suffice to observe, that the market was over-supplied with every description, earthenware, salt, and some few unimportant articles ex cepted, and, us maybe imagined, prices ruled s cry low; the sales eff eeted entail immense biases and it is evident that the consumption of this market is much over estimated. The sales are very extensive, but the supplies in first hands con tinue abundant, and unless receipts be far, very far, more moderate than they have been, shipments hither will result even more unprofitably than heretofore. The continued demand for our primary article of export, particularly, and now almost exclusively, for the United States, despite the unfavourable &deices front all consuming countries, caused prices to improve during the month, the highest having ruled at the close, with indications of a fur ate advamo.

CUBAN AFFAIRS. (By Electric Telatersph.) PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONI LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAT. By the arrival of the American mail steam-ship Baltic, Captain Comstock, we are placed in posses sion of three days later intelligence from New York. The Baltic sailed from that port direct on the 30th ult., and arrived in the Mersey a few minutes since. The Baltic brings 126,0001. in specie on freight. Great excitement continues to be manifested in the United States relative to Cuban affairs. Meet ings had been held in all the large town, denouncing the course taken by the Cuban authorities. A force of 1,000 men were collected at New Or leans, awaiting the means of conveyance to Cuba. There are no later accounts from that island. The Spanish consul at New Orleans had resigned on the 28th of August, and left the Spanish residents under the protection of the English and French con suls. The letter-book of the Spanish consul was seized by the mob. Up to the departure of the latest Cuban despatches the fate of the American invaders was net known. At New York, and in the northern and eastern cities, the most serious aspect hitherto of the Cuban affair is said to be the stopping and boarding the mail steamer Falcon. _ . Great excitement continued throughout the States, mass meetings being held in all directions. The American consul at Havannah was likely to be recalled. His conduct was generally mprehended. Additional precautions against any further inva sion were being taken by the government. I Many outrages were committed on Spanish citi zens throughout the States. The Royal Mail steam ship Asia, Captain Judkins, arrived at New York, at 5.30 p.m., on the 28th ult., and the Hermann, Captain Crabtree, from Southamp ton, on the 29th ult. The steam ship Ohio had arrived at New York with advice, from Jamaica to the 17th ult.. . . The cholera was abating in all parts of the island. Advices from New Grenada to the 17th ult. con firm the accounts of a revolution having broken out, headed by General Borrera. commEßcw.. Business at New York was tolerably active.

The Diario de la Maraw, of the 15th, has only an allu sion to the aff'sa thus : _ _ " We have before us a letter from Bahia Honda (Deep Bay), dated yesterday, giving some particulars of the glo rums deeds of oar soldier at Pease, which we cannot omit to communicate to oar readers, for although it relates to the doings of only one of the three companies that had a put in the attack, it is not the leas honourable to our army than to those who, with pride, bear the name, of Spaniard. " Scarcely had we commenced," says the distinguished lieutenant of the brilliant rifle company of Corona, " when our captain was wounded, and I could do no more than pier myself in evamand, when I had the misfortune to find myself without any officer, for they also had been wounded. (The Americans always aimed first at the °Seem) In this situation, with thirty men, I advanced with fixed bayonets, upon the house in which the enemy was sheltered, and although I was unable to capture them, I had the satisfaction of killing between. 18 and 20, among whom was a general (for so his epaulets and uniform de ' situated him) and several other officers.
