TI -Le annual gathering of the Highlanders of Mar took :place at Mar Castle on Thursday, for the per forrartnce of Highland games and the practice of athletic sports. The weather was very fine, and, th , 3 Queen havi ng s i gn ifi e d h er i n t en ti on to honour tb,e meeting with her presence, a very large num b er of spectators were present on the occasion. .A:c one o'olock the Farquharson Highlanders '3...astered in front of the Invercauld Arms in Castletown, and marched to the old castle of Mar, where the games were to come off. The men were in Highland costume, carried the banners of the clan, and were led by their chief. The Duff High landers, the Atholl Highlanders, and the Forbes Highlanders ' who were wont to muster in large numbers at former gatherings since the Queen came to reside at Balmoral, did not appear on this occa sion, so that the scene did not present that mar tial-looking character which used to be its chief feature ; but the number of strangers in the park and on the castle terrace exceeded that of any for mer meeting. The gam — es commenced about half-past two o'clock, and by three the Royal cortege drove up. The Queen was received with cheers. The Queen, Prince Albert, and the Royal children were all at tired in the Highland dress ; but the Earl of Cla rendon, Colonel Phipps, General Grey, and the other members of the suite were not in kilts. On the terrace there was a very large display of Celtic beauty and fashion, the Farquharsons and Duffs being the more distinguished of the company. When the Court was seated, the games were con tested with animation. They consisted of putting the stone, tossing the caber, runn i ng f oot - races, dancing Highland dances to the music of the bag pipe, and such like, now so well known and com monly exhibited as to need no particular description. Suffice it to say that that they were keenly con tested, and that the prizemen were considered to be fully up to the mark. The Duchess of Kent was not present, but there was a distinguished party from Aberff. eldie, while among the strangers were Sir Benjamin Hall, M.P., Lord and Lady Lovaine, Sir John Hope, &c. The Queen left at five o'clock, after which a second party were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Farquhar son to luncheon iu the Castle, and in the evening there was a ball, which terminated the festivities of the day. THE MOORS AND FORESTS. We have never been obliged, by the same cause, to offer so meagre a statement of sport to our rea ders as we are compelled to do this week. Our correspondents in many of the shooting districts have literally nothing to say on the hitherto ex citing subject of game, and sportsmen generally prefer saying nothing about a week's bad sport to publishing it. We have been requested to insert a contradiction of a statement regarding the Ban chor shootings, which has been going the round of the papers for the last ten days or more. It is published as a fact that on this shooting ground not more than an average of four to eight brace have been killed. Now, the actual number killed on the 12th was 54l brace, besides hares and plovers, and the average number to each gun is ' from 14 to 18, in place of from 4 to 8, per day. From the Gairloch grounds we are told that the grouse are strong and healthy, and that the sports men there found as many young birds as last year —a piece of good fortune of which few can boast elsewhere. The party have had good sport, and Mr. Randall and the Messrs. Pinckney have bagged up to the 4th inst., 718 head of grouse, 100 head of black game, 5 roe-deer, and 3 red-deer. We are glad to be able to report also that at Tulloch, Major first and his brother, F. 11. first, Esq., continue to enjoy good sport, and that the birds falling to their guns are in good condition, and tolerably Plentiful. At Novar, Sir A. Cockburn, Mr. E. James, Q.C., and Mr. Rennie, shot 530 brace of grouse, four red-deer, and several roe, up to last week. Th e M arqu i s o f B a th and Lord O ssu l s t on killed 20 stags at 4 Glenfeshie. The deer shooting of Strathconau maintains its character as good. Mr. Latouche, wl, )0 •ts had such excellent sport this s eason in th e f orest, h as a dd e d f our fi ne stags to his list of spo r t. T wo o f th em w ere ro y a l, and weighed ovei 16 stone each. On Thursday he killed a splendid stag, 'weighing 18st. 91b. It had a very fine wild head, but with only eight points ; his head must have been clean for a long time, as the horns were quite black and the points very sharp and white.—lnverness Courier. The reports from the moors, says the Scottish Guardian, grow fewer every week. In fact, most of the sportsmen have given up grouse shooting, while others are gone south. TUE RUSSIAN SUGAR . DUTIES,--Th e R uss i an Govern ment has published a notice, making modifications in the import duty on sugar of all kinds, with th e exce pti on o f that made from beetroot. For refined sugar in loaves a duty of 5 roubles (the rouble is 41r.) the poud (about 161 kilogrammes), is substituted for the previous prohibition, by all the frontiers except Odessa, where it was ad m itt e d on the payment of 3 roubles, which duty remains un changed. For raw sugar the previous duty of 3 roubles, 3 roubles 20 copecks, and 3 roubles 80 c o p ec k s, accord ing to the place o f i m portation, is replaced by a uniform one of 3 roubles (the copeck is worth 4c.) The above changes are only applicable to imports by sea, those by land still reiesining prohibited, except in the kingdom of Poland. : 10 ..• -Ai, 4,, ••. • ' . . , " 0 " . --t . ,-; . ;1 ..- .4 A - . et, ,..4.• , i 4 ,._,„ 1 , , ~, „., .t• ati . li tit • :•:;- h 4 ,:',A„ TP,Air;i4friltt: .f)>.:,-.44 , : 4 0 ~,... „,, ii., 4 .,, 1 5him.......,,Nc ) 11 -..,,,, . 12, /., IV' , r - +1 o ;cam .-,.... t, ....__ .,, ..„_,.. 4.4 '... .. -- 16 __ , , c ii „A I ~ tt l , , .177 a z ~ 1 0 -t&o'k ' ' Aid - ' -.'

We have received our despatches from India, China, and Australia (a telegraphic summary of which we published on Thursday), by the overland mail. The Intelligence from the gold colonies has been anticipated by that received by the packet ship Sardinian. The India and China dates are— Calcutta, August 8 ; Bombay, 13 ; Hong Kong, July 25th ; and Singapore, August 2. The Bombay Times, in its summary of the events of the fortnight, says:— " The rains are now nearly over, the monsoon in fact by the present date is considered closed. Up to this date we have only fifty-six inches of rain in all, a few light showers, making a total of three inches, being all the past fortnight has supplied. There is still about a foot due to the coming two months ; if we have no more, we shall be consider ably under the average monsoon. " Negotiations have been in progress, which pro mise to eventuate in a treaty of peace, with Saa dut Khan and the Momund chiefs, hitherto the main disturbers of the peace of the north-western Punjaub frontier. The hill men have so invariably got the worst of it in all their forays, that finding even the wildness of their fastnesses no protection against our mountain guns, they seem making a virtue of necessity by coming to terms when they can no longer hold out. We shall be thankful for peace on our borders at any reasonable price— along the highland line property must always be insecure, and• the utmost that can be looked for (but this is much)—is immunity from the forays of large bands of armed men. We have now received full particulars as to the assassination of the heir apparent of Ava, while residing under British protection at Rangoon. He had in child hood narrowly escaped murder in his own coun try, when his father's life was taken. When we took' possession of Pegu he sought refuge from danger in our territories : his death seemed to have been desired by the ruling powers, and assas sins were employed accordingly to destroy him. The result - is not at all unlikely to be another advance on Ava, and a further change of dynasty—so impossible it is for barbarism and civilisation to flourish side by side. The question touching the military occupation of British Burinah by Madras troops has long been under the consideration of the supreme government, and the Governor-General has now resolved upon withdrawing the whole of the Bengal troops and establishments serving in the province of Pegu. This will involve the return to Bengal of all the staff officers and establish ments appertaining to that presidency, and their places will no doubt be filled up by officers from Madras. The transfer is to be effected in the en suing season, or as soon as suffici e nt st e am con veyance can be made available. In these two items is comprised the whole of the tidings of the fort night. India everywhere is tranquil. Oude is per fectly tranquil, and the supreme government has, on the recommendation of the Chief Commissioner, authorised the military force in the province, as at present constituted, to be broken up, and the troops and batteries composing it to be withdrawn and ordered back to the several stations from whence they proceeded there, and has directed that functionary in communication with his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief to organise a new force on a limited scale, and on the principle observed in the Punjaub, moveable columns are to be maintained at the stations of Lucknow, Seetapore, and Fyzabad in the same manner as they are doneat present at Mooltan, Rawul Pindee, and Sealkote. They are to be kept fully equipped in respect of ammunition, carriage, and establishments, so as to be ready to take the field at a moment's notice." The same journal publishes striking instance of disagreement betwixt the supreme au thorities at home and in India : " Tidings were taken home in the newspapers despatched on the 27th of May, that orders had been issued by the supreme government forbidding the commencement of all public works costing more than a thousand pounds. So soon as ibis was madolcuown it was met by a demi -official contradiction in the Times, stating that so far from works being stopped a couple of millions extra had been ordered to be expended on them. Unhappily for the contradic tion, the official order has been published in the Madras Government Gazette, it is said, by mistake ; it bears date 3d May, and must have been in the India-house full three weeks at least when its exist ence was denied. The documents will be found in another part of our paper. We leave it for our London contemporaries to deal as they se• meet with those who have misled them. During the past eighteen months we have at least a dozen of times proclaimed the fact that we were very obvi ously spending greatly beyond our means, the expenditure not being occasioned by works of general utility, sure some time or other to prove remunerative, but in wanton extravagance and waste. To meet the financial crisis rapidly has tening on, the Governor-General is understood to have resorted to the precautionary step adverted to. We are already on the eve of a loan of two or three millions : the further outlay now resolved upon will double the sum requiring to be bor rowed, and the loan will in all likelihood be opened at a juncture when it is least looked for and most certain to occasion inconvenience. As some three millions sterling are required by the Home portion of our government annually, it would seem in finitely more wise and simple to resort for this to the London Exchange, where it might be bad at four per cent., than to draw on India for money re quiring to be borrowed here at five or six, both Operations being in general so clumsily managed as utterly to disorganise our money market arrange ments. WIN the authorities are thus arranging for extra work at home, and stopping them hero, they woull appear to be taking the utmost care to prevent private capitalists from coming to their relief." The official documents by which our Bombay contemporary justifies his reflections will be found below. Viscount Canning, the Governor-General, is said to be better, but was still intending to proceed to sea. The Governors of Madras and Bombay were at the seat of their respective administrations. The King of Oude remained iu the neighbour hood of Ca'cutta. The intelligence from Calm], including news from Herat, is as conflicting as usual. One account represents the Persians in the latter place as being triumphant, and receiving large reinforcements ; as having made prisoners of the leading Herat men, and also as having the popular feeling in their favour, evidenced in the fact of the large numbers that were daily joining the camp of the invaders. If the whole of the above statements be reversed, a tolerably clear idea of the other version will be obtained, for that assures us the Persians are de feated, &c. An explanation of the conduct of Dost Mahomed in invading Candahar is given in one of these letters, which states that the Ameer, upon the strength of the treaty he bad recently con cluded with the English, an d thinking the step would promote their interests —took possession of the country ; he believes he has effected some good in preventing the complete establishment of the Persians at Herat, but the burthen of the mat ter is, that if the Dost does not receive aid from the Indian Government he will have to relinquish Candahar, the Sb , and leave H era t i n th e quiet possession of _tall of Persia. return to Cabul CHINA.

The acting secretary stated that since the last yearly meeting •1' the proprietors their new bank buildings have progressed very rapidly, and that "on the west, soak ] and east sides, the third course of cut stones is being proceeded with, and about half the stones are laid on the south and west, the window frames are fixed, and on the north east corner, only the first course is completed, and that one course of cut stones of the pillar on the west side is laid." It was proposed by J ames Don,. Esq., M.D., !seconded by A. T. Binny,, Esq., and re s o l ve d, that the accounts now submitted be passed. as correct and satisfactory. The thanks of the meeting were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting dissolved. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. BOMBAY, AUG. 12. Imports—A very limited business has been done in im ports since our last, at prices which show no improve meet. Cotton Piece Goods—There is no activity or 'specula tion in this department ; and, though the fall of raia is all that could be desired, the business of the last fort night has been unusually circumscribed for this season, and dealers continue to evince great indifference as to supplying themselves ; but sooner or later they must come forward, when a general improvement will doubt less be apparent in the price of staple fabrics and yarns. There is nothing in the position of grey goods to call for particular reference. Grey skirtings, 40 and 45 inch of the middling quality hold their ground, and are in fair inquiry. Grey madapollams and jacconets are in moderate inquiry. Long cloths are dull, and T cloth in fair demand. Do mestic are in more request, but unchanged in value. For Bleached Goods the inquiry is moderately active, but prices do not improve. Shirtings and jacconets of low to middling quality, and twills of middling quality, are in fair demand ; as are also satin spots and stripes of 24 by 40 yards. Fanny goods are in brisk demand, and a fair extent of business has changed hands in grey and bleached Dho ties, book muslins, bleached checks, tape stripes, bleached lapets, gauzes, and dyed Madapollams. Turkey red cambrics command attention, as also do twills and mulls. Cotton Tarns—The market continues very quiet, and no sales have transpired since last mail. Prices, with the exception of 50 and 60 mule, which are slightly lower, are steady. For Turkey red and orange of good quality there is a fair inquiry. Green has sold to a mo• derate extent at full prices. The woollen market continues without improvement, and with no sales of importance. Prices of wines and spirits have declined, with little or no demand ; in marine stores there is nothing to re mark ; canvass and cordage are dull, owing to large ar rivals ; turpentine is in moderate inquiry ; linseed oil is is very good demand, and scarce. Exports—Produce has been in active demand, and extensive purchases in cotton to arrive and on the spot have been made for shipment to Great Britain, while to China there is little shipping. Highly favourable re ports from all parts of the country, including Marwar, of the fall of rain have been received, and agricultural operations are progressing very satisfactorily, while at the Presidency the monsoon has been pretty favourable, though the fall so far is still under the average, but there is yet six weeks before us, and no great cause therefore for alarm. Cotton Wool.—The activity noticed in our last par tially and prices gave way, when the improved accgunts ; by the- mail agmn produped considerable azia purchases Aux• the anot and to. arrive barn been made to a large extent. On Xuropean aocount some 20,000 bales have been taken, the bulk within the last week, the downward prices have been arrested, and though not so high as at our last, still, considering the selection, equally good. Prices of sheep's wool have declined ; the improved home advises have caused in creased firmness in eil seeds; hemp is in demand for local consumption, Opium.—The China steamer of the 2d inst. took only 919 chests, and the closing quotations then were, for Mundlesur Rs. 1,100. Indore Re. 1,090 to 1,095 per chest, and with less favourable accounts thence of the drug, prices have declined respectively to Re. 1,075 and and 1,065 per chest. Tonnage.—Rates of freight to Great Britain have rallied, owing in some measure to the improved state of the Calcutta market ; little, however, has been done in tonnage on the spot, the supply of produce being small, but in it to arrive considerable engagements have had effect, chiefly, if not entirely, of a speculative character, and as much as 10,000 tons is said to have been taken up at rates ranging from 2/. 15s. to 3/. per ton to load the last three months of the year. For present ship ment the rate may be taken at 2/. ss. to 108. per ton, but for vessels heavily loaded as much as 2/. 15s. per ton has been paid, but for small parcels only. Exchange keeps about last quotations, 2s. 11d. to 3-Bths fur bills by Bombay houses. Large sums, China drawn, were done on arrival of the Malta, at 2s. 1/(i. to 2s. 1 3-16 d. ; Calcutta, 60 days' eight, Rs. 99i ; China, 60 days' sight, Rs. 229 ; Madras, 30 days' sight, Rs. b 9. We have no change to report in our money market during the fortnight, further than that the banks have reduced their rates of interest 1 per cent. all round, and now ranges from 4to 7 per cent. Government and other securities remain at about former quotations. (From. the Englishman.) CALCUTTA, AUG. 8. The interval since the despatch of our last mail has been marked by some improvement both in Our import and export trade, and a better feeling is gradually gain. ing ground. 'We are placed in receipt by the London mail of the 25th June last on the 31.,t ult., and by elec tric telegraph of intelligence brought by the London mail of the 9th ult. Our produce market during the past fortnight has been comparatively more buoyant than at the time of the last mail's departure, although the business transacted in most of our leading staples for the home markets has not been large. The American and other foreign buyers have been the largest customers in saltpetre and linseed at higher rates than English buyers could afford to pay. We do not as yet to a certainty know what effect the accounts just received by electric telegraph will base upon pur chases for the home market e but we have no doubt that immediately after the despatch of the Fresent mail we shall have increased activity. Meanwhile we might add that we have had from the upper Fr3vinces large supplies of sugar, saltpetre, and rapeseed. We are happy to be able to notice an improvement and greater animation in our market for British cotton piece geode. The demand for all sorts of grey goods having continued active, considerable purchases have been made by native dealers, in some instances at enhanced prices. Our stocks, however, have been suflciently large, which, combined with the rather indifferent accounts from the marts in the Upper Provinces, have prevented any exten sive improvement in the face of the easy and almost glutted state of our money market, and the facility with which dealers are enabled to obtain accernmodatione for carrying on operations on a satisfactory basic In grey shirting, jaconets, and rnadapollatus a very fair amount of business has been transacted, whilst Turkey red goods of all descriptions, prints, and chintzes, as well as mul e twist, have experienced an increased demand, and prices are a shade higher. In metals, also, operations have been carried on to a fair extent, and copper of all sorts, under the influence of speculative demand and reduced stocks, had advanced considerably, but our market closes with a drooping tendency. Money Market.—Large importations of specie and bulli3n, and the further reduction of the Bank of Bengal rates of interest and discount, have contributed to ren der our money market easier than at the date of the last mail, and the aspect of the existing affairs gives hope not only of its continuance, but of a further improvement. On the 24th ult. the directors of the Bank of Bengal at their weekly meeting reduced their rates 1 per cent', to gether with 5 per cent of the margin on loans of 4 per rent. Government securities, and 3 per cent. on loans of the 5 per cent. papers. Tho following aro the bank rates at present : —Loans on Government securities, 5 per cent. ; discount of private 1)11:8, 5 per cent, ; do, of Go vernment bills, 4 per cent.; margin on 5 per cent. papers 3 per con.; do. on 4 per cent. do., 15 per cent, The amonnt of emit in the back's coffers hat of late been gra dually on the increase. Governvnent;;eeurities--AVith a slight advance in the value of the "Public Works Loan," other papers have ruled alternately during the time that has elapsed since the last mail, at almost the quotations then given ocea , sionally fluctuating a little, although the operations of late in the 4 per cent. papers have been of some magni tude. The apprehensions of a new 5 per cent, loan by Government, which are far from being dissipated from the minds of stockholders, native dealers and even many Europeans, have proved a great bar to the improvement in value or our stocks. a-change—We have had a very steady mail this time. In the earlier part our market was distinguished by an unusually extensive business on London, American credits selling at 24. I;`',d. per rupee, and document bills at 2s. lid., 2s. 2d. being paid for choice paper by pur- chasers. During the past week . our quotations have 41111 4111 E been is. 11d. to buy, and 2s. Itd. to sell, for credits, and 2s. 1 id. for document bills,with an upward tendency, according to the character of the paper. Apprehensions entertained of a rupture with America have latterly sub sided, the last advices from home giving great hopes of u amicable adjustment of the question at issue. Since the receipt of intelligence that the court of directors have raised their rate of exchange to 2s. Oid. ' there has been less inclination on the part of buyers, the last two days, to operate at the rates ruling previously, and our market has assumed an upward tendency. Freights—Nothing has been done for the continent of Europe, but shipments to 'the United States of America are being carried forward on a scale of great magnitude, and the number of ships now loading, principally for Boston, is very large. Engagements of sundry parcels have been made at 10 doll, to 11 dole, per ton ; and we hear the ship Gleaner, of 999 tons, has been retailing amongst several shippers at an average of 11 dole. per ton for New York. We have had lately no charters for Great Britain, but several for the West Indies, Australia, and Bombay. R 15, 1856. --• . ‘'.:---' [PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD• The Republicans were afraid of the effect of this, and withdrew enough of their forces to allow the bill to pass. The vote on the passage was 101 to 98. "The news from Nicaragua indicates that that eminent patriot and founder of a new empire, Gene ral William Walker, is in a fair way of receiving his deserts. Out of the facts (admitted by both sides) and the conclusions drawn from them by the friends of each party you can make up your own mind how much chance he has of holding on to the power which he has seized. It seems to be admitted that Leon, heretofore a democratic stronghold, is in the possession of Walker's enemies, without ally possi bility on his part of preventing it. It also seems to he conceded that the united forces under Rivas decidedly otAsumber those under Walker, that all th. other Central American States are preparing to join them when the season will permit a demon stration to be made, and that there is dissatisfac tion with Walker among the native population of Nicaragua. It is further represented by his enemies that dissatisfaction prevails among Walker's Ameri can troops, but this is denied ; and it is apparent that, however they may feel towards each other, self-interest and the instinct of self-preservation must bind them together, if there is anything like the opposition to them which their enemies repre sent. Out of these facts the most opposite conclu sions aro drawn. The friends of Rivas represent the union between the native forces as complete and harmonious and, pointing to the arming of Costa Rica and Honduras, assert that by Novena ber or December a combination will be made that will overthrow Walker. They say that while Walker was the ally of one of the factions into which that country is unhappily divided he was strong'--even irresistible by any force which the opposing party could bring against him ; but that when he threw off the mask and caused himself to be elected President over the leaders who had elevated him to power he showed a total ignorance of the character of the natives, and made a great political blunder, which alienated from him the whole native support. His downfall is there fore, they say, only an affair of time. His posi tion is further involved, they say, by a want of money to pay his troops, by the absence of anything to plunder, except land, which has been stripped and cannot be sold, and by consequent dis content among his men. On the other hand, the followers of Walker affect to regard without discom posure the combinations against him. Leon has ever been, they say, the stronghold of the democra tic forces, as Granada has that of the patrician. These petty factions of a turbulent State have waged a constant war with a varying success. At one time the patrician banner has been carried into the streets of Leon ; at another the democratic army has surrounded Granada, and kept it in a state of siege. The animosities which prompted these quar rels survive, and no union of such opposing ele ments can be permanent. Walker permitted them to unite, that they might destroy each other. Holding himself aloof from them, they must quar rel, and speedily do the work of destruction more effectually than he could do it to them. Mean while the disturbed state of the country has pre vented emigration and caused the outflow of cap tal. His soldiers take temporary pay in scrip, which is not to be sold for less than 80 cents on the dol lar. Plantations producing $lO,OOO, $20,000, or even $50,000 a-year can be bought for a song, and, if capitalists will only take courage, and come in, peace will be re-establsshed, the sway of Walker will be continued, and prosperity restored. Such aro the parties as painted by the rival parties. It is not difficult to see where the probable truth lies. The last effort is to interest this Government in their quarrels. The dismissal of Mr. Crampton has been travestied in the dismissal of Mr. Man ning, the British Consul, for au alleged interference in the domestic politics of Nicaragua. A. merchant of Lion, named Salizar, has been seized and shot for the crime of being in arms against Walker. The allied forces, on hearing of the seizure, retaliated by seizing a Dr. Livingston, a citizen of the United States, and represented to be Acting-Consul at Leon. Walker's authorities further represent that they threatened to shoot Livingston if Salizar was injured, and thereupon Minister Wheeler wrote a sharp letter, promising the vengeance of the United States if they meddled with Livingston. At that moment the steamer sailed, and we aro left, as in a number of Mr. Dickens' or Thackeray's raeria,lN just on the edge of a crisis, and must wait a fortnight to know whether Livingston lives or dies, and whether we are to be invoked to help Walker out of his troubles by flogging his enemies, or are to leave him to get out as he can. Walker's open fraternisation with the Cuban exiles, ban quets held by them at his quarters, the toasts drank at them, and the presence of Mr. Soul 6 in that part of the country, show how things will go if he succeeds in carrying out his schemes. " The President has announced his purpose to prevent hereafter any invasion of Kansas, come from what quarter the expedition may, and has promised that actual settlers shall have a fair elec tion, though it costs the whole force of the Federal Government to secure it. He has coupled with this promise, however, an expression of a determi nation to enforce the obnoxious territorial laws, which several democratic senators denounced as unconstitutional, arbitrary, and tyrannical, and has declined to interfere to protect emigrants on their way to the territory. The state of things out there continues deplorable. Both parties are arm ing. The Missourians are concentrating near West port on the Missouri line in large numbers, under command, according to the telegraph, of General Atchison, who has made himself so conspicuous hitherto in forcing slavery upon the territory. The Free State men, under General Lane, were fortify ing themselves about seven miles from the Santa Fe camp on the Wanuka, the main body being at Lawrence, variously estimated from 1,000 to 2,000. The Missourians were estimated by their enemies at 3,000. Provisions had become scarce at Law rence, and communication with supplies was cut off. If the telegraph is to be trusted , i t indicates a triumph of the pro-slavery party, unless the Federal Government interfere.' THE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY, SEPT. 14. By the Royal Mail steamer Atrato, Captain Woolley, which arrived this afternoon with the West India and Pacific mails, in chargo of Lieute nant Pearson, R.N., Admiralty agent, wo have dates from— Belize Aug. 17 , St. Vincent's Aug. 26 Puerto Cabello ... 22 St. Lucia G reytown — 20 Martinique Carthagena Colon — 23 Dominica La Guayra Jamaica Jacmel . 28 Nevis Porto Rico Berbice . Demerara - 251 Trinidad Barbadoes . — 271 Tobago Grenada The Atrato brings 58 passengers, among whom are Sir R. Horsford, C. 8., Chief Justice of Antigua, and lady ; Captains Levallois and Bartlett, Ensign Jackson, and two non-commissioned officers of the 3d West India Regiment, and two distressed Bri tish subjects (one of whom belonged to Walker's army) from Greytown. On freight this packet brings 831,850 dollars, of which 370,231 dollars are in sliver, and the remainder is gold, from the fol lowing places : Pacific, 384,047 dollars ; Cali fornia, 364,463 dollars ; Carthagena, 47,470 dollars ; Jamaica, 12,392 dollars ; and other parts of the West Indies, 23,293 dollars ; 6,3831. value in plata pins, &c., and copper value 1,200 dols. The cargo consists of 1,358 serons of cochineal, 1 seron of ipe cacuanha, 260 serous of bark, 6 casks of beeswax, 72 bales of sarsaparilla, 7 live turtles, 2 cases of tor toiseshell, 9 cases of succades, and 52 packages of sundries. The Royal mail steamer Magdalena, from South ampton on 17th ult., had not reached St. Thomas when the Atrato The Toviot was at St. Thomas preparing to sail for. Southampton for repairs. It was expected she would leave about the 9th inst. The Atrato has experienced, for the first eight days, fine weather; for two days afterwards a strong head wind, and since light easterly winds. On the 9th inst., in lat. 43.16 N., long. 35.50 W., she passed. an American ship, with emigrants, bound to the. westward, showing over the ensign a white flag with red star iu centre ; on the 11th, in lat. 46.52 N., long. 24.18 1 .1'., passed another-American ship, bound to the eastward, showing name "W. V. Moses" on a flag ; and on the 12th, in lat. 47.51 N., long. 18.52 W., passed the English barque Spectator, standing to north-east. The boatswain of the Atrato died at sea of yel low fever on the 6th inst. A subscription was made on board for his wife and three young chil- dren. Captain Ramsay, R.M., and Mr. Groves, sur geon of her Majesty's sh i p Euryalus, died at Port Royal on the 26th and 27th ult. Her Majesty's ships Imperieuse and Intrepid I were at Greytown, Vestal at Antigua, and Arad= ~,1~ / C~ L at Barbadoes. The squadron was h althy. :The weather at St. Thomas has been extremely hot, with occasional showers. On the 28th ult. a very severe shock of an earthquake was felt. It lasted about five seconds, during which time a few buildings were cracked. A few deaths by cholera occur daily on shore. Our adviccs " < c , • th , es", th Matters reins Lang A , war -eas to the probable successor of 'Sir Henry - Barkly in the government of that colony. The Legislature was prorogued to the end of October, and it was generally supposed that it would not meet before the second week in November, which is about the usual time. The weather had been in tensely hot for several days, the thermometer ranging from 92 deg. to 95 de g . in the shade. There had been one or two sudden deaths, which, in a great measure, were attributed to the heated state of the atmosphere. Fever was very prevalent, and several deaths are reported. There is little to notice in commercial matters. Alewives continued dull of sale at 17s. per barrel. Good quality but ter was much wanted, and no Irish had arrived. Sales of corn had taken place at Bs. 6d. per bag. Flour was realising 425. , per Barrel. Exchange on London, for bills at 90 days, was quoted at 2 per cent. pin. ; 60 days, 2i ditto ; 30 days, 3 ditto. Merchants' bills were realising per cent. pm. Her Majesty's vess.els at Port Royal were the Imaum, Eurydice, Espiegle, and Euryalus. Vessels in KingEbon harbour—The barks Lady Bute (English ; the Mary Chapman, and Elizabeth J. (American); the brigantines Liberal (English), and Sarah Bernice (American); the schooners Dolphin and Liberty (American). The American brig Abbe Francis, from Navy. bay, bound to Port-au-Prince, put into Kinrrston harbour on the 12th of August, for medicaraid, crew sick with fever. The English brigantine Li beral, from Navy•bay, bound to, St. Thomas, also put into that port, on the 17th of August, for me dical aid, captain an d part of her crew sick. The American brigantine Merlin, from Rio Janeiro, 71 days out, bound to New Orleans, put into Port Royal on the 25th ult. for a supply of water. The West Indis. journals speak of a terrific storm which swept over some of the Islands on the 13th ult., doing considerable damage. It appears to have been felt principally at Grenada and Barba does. A gentleman writing from Carriacou, on the 14th ult., says : "One of the heaviest storms on record here since the great hurricane of 1780 set in yesterday afternoon, and continued with more or less violence till early this morn ing. The morning of Wednesday was gusty and lower ing, and about noon strong squalls commenced with rain, which increased towards evening, when it blow a heavy gale. About 8 p.m. this increased to a hurri cane, and so continued for fully two hours ; after which it gradually abated, though still blowing hard. The whole island this morning presents sad evidences of the strength of the storm—the roads impassable, on account of broken and uprooted roots, and debris of various sorts —cattle pens unroofed, and labourers' cottages in many instances levelled with the ground, with a large propor tion more or less damaged ; plantain tree -7, corn, and other provisions torn up by the roots or laid prostrate. From the long-centinued drought thecane cultivation was not sufficiently advanced to suffer materially, but where it had attained any degree of growth it has been quite levelled. The brig Dorothea, at anchor in Hillsborough bay, dragged her anchors for a time, but by serving out 75 fathoms on each this vessel rode out the gale in safety. The fine sloop Blossom, belonging to Captain John R. Desbat, was less fortunate; having taken in a load of sugar for the Dorothea, the gale came on abont the time the lading was completed, and, being obliged to remain at anchor, she drove for the night and got beached ; it is said that she will be got off, and that her cargo is not to any great extent injured. All the estates have suffered to some extent, especially Beausejcoir, the buildings of which, lying at the base of a gorge, are peculiarly liable to be affected by heavy gusts ; and, for the same reason, many of the labourers' houses have suffered. Happily, so far as I can learn, this visitation has not been attended with loss of life. Providentially, the gale did not shift its course mere than three points, the direction of the heaviest part of it being from the north-eact, and at no time was the barometer below 30 deg. It is feared we may hear still more disastrous accounts from some of the other islands, and that vessels at sea may have suffered." Demerara intelli g ence is to the 23d ult. The Court of policy has been occupied during the fort night with the consideration of numerous impor tant measures. Among the bills passed were an act to amend the law fur the punishment of petty offences, a bill to improve the law relating to va grancy, and a bill for raising a loan for the pay ment of bounty to Indian immigrants. The amount proposed to be raised is 50,0001. In re ferring to the Vagrancy Bill the i-loyal Gazette says: " This measure is much wanted in the colony, and we anticipate from this, in conjunction with other ordi. nances relating to the improvement of the population, the best possible results. Vagrancy is the curse of 'this country, and has been so ever since the emancipation. There are tbousand4 of creole.; in tbis colony who will not settle down to steady habits of industry, but they prefer to lead a vagabond life, wandering about fronrono part of the colony to the other, and subsisting by plun der. If this measure should have the effect of checking the vagrant habits of a large proportion of the creole peasantry it will be of great benefit to the colony, and all classes will rejoice at it. But unless the bill be fol lowed by a measure for the compulsory registration of the people, we do not think it will be productive of any substantial good. Such a measure is essential to the wellbeing of this colony, where society is composed of such an heterogeneous mixture of races. In addition to the European colonists we have the creole population—a complete medley in its , df— Hindoos, Chinese, Portu guese from Madeira, the Azores and Cape Verd, Afri cans, and others. It is necessary for the preservation of good order among such an incongruous variety of people that the whole population should be registered." The Town-council of George Town had determined to petition the Governor and Court of Policy to reform the municipal constitution, by reducing the qualification of members for a seat in the Council to $1,440 in the books of the receiver of town taxes, and to extend the right of voting in the election of members to parties paying an annual rental of $4BO per annum. The town tax for the present year has been fixed at 1J per cent., and the experiment of col lecting the sanitary rate from the occupiers of houses was about to be tried. A disturbance took place on the West Coast, at plantation Flankonburg, on. the 12th, between two rival parties of coolies, who were celebrating some religious festival. A proces sion of one party met the other, and a fight ensued, and the party which got the worst of it went to the village of Anna Catherina and enlisted a number of creeks, and returned and beat their opponents, who were overpowered and compelled to fly. Many persons were severely wounded, but no lives were lost. The riot was becoming very alarming, when a body of rural constables came up and dispersed the combatants, and captured a num ber of them. They were tried before the sti pendiary magistrate, and were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment ; two of the ring leaders were sentenced to receive in addition 39 lashes. The weather during the fortnight was showery, but the dry weather, it was believed, had set in. Vegetation during the last three months had been thriving rapidly, and a little dry weather would bring the canes to maturity. Little sugar was being made, but in the course of another month grinding would become general throughout the estates. Trade was still dull among the mer chants. Freights were moderato and produce scarce. The exports during the last fortnight were —sugar, 440 hhds, 22 trcs, 931 brls ; foreign sugar, 21 hhds ; rum, 390 punchns, 43 hhds, 4 brls ; mo lasses, 166 punchns, 2 hhds ; coffee, 18 bags ; hard wood timber, 6,222 ft ; 29 packages of old metal ; pork, 14 tree, 59 brie ; beef, 547 half-brls ; flour, 650 brl? ; coals, 2 tree and 3 bags. The bark Hamilton Mitchell arrived at Demerara on the afternoon of the 23d ult with 65 African immigrants from. St. Helena. They were all boys, and. were captured as they were being conveyed in a barge to a slave ship. At St. Lucia there had been some changes in the judicial department of • a temporary nature. His Honour the resident Judge had been removed to St. Vincent, to fill the chief justiceship of that island during the absence of Mr. Sharp. The Hon. L. Lucazo had been appointed at St. Lucia as act ing resident Judge.

The struggle between the Senate and the House of Representatives had ended in the adoption of the Army Appropriation Bill without the Kansas proviso. The New York Herald contains the follow ing remarks on what it calls " these wonderful news from, Washington :" ort will hous, passe refers ascot prop sessi( 411 natio, gettit of th tittle; 1,55, reference to our Congressional reports oar readers perceive, first, that the Republican majority of the 6 collapsed on Saturday, and that the Army Bill was without any restrictions upon the President in ;nce to the employment of the army in Kansas ; idly, that this great job of 14,000,000 of army ap dations having thus been accomplished, the extra in was closed and dispersed. Ve are not surprised at this result at all. The combi n of Buchanan and Fillmore men in the house was ig tco strong for the Fremont party, and the defeat proviso was from the beginning but a matter of another day or two would have brought in suffi- cient Democratic and Know-Nothing absentees to crush out the whole strength of the Republicans. They have yielded to necessity, being in a minority as against Fill more and Buchanan men, and the President is left to use the army in Kansas at his discretion. Leading de mocratic senators have admitted that the Missouri. Kanias laws are infamous and atrocious, and have moved their repeal ; but they have been overruled by the party, and the Kansas laws and the border ruffians remain un touched. We apprehend that every dispassionate mind will Consider this criminal neglect of the affairs of Kansas a lasting disgrace to this congress, and a pitiful conces sion to an imbecile and double-dealing President, who has proved his total want of courage and capacity for the suppression of a border war. "We are sorry to hear that the Fremont men were frightened by the tactics of Jeff. Davis, in dismissing the workmen from the different armouries on the plea of a want of funds. That dodge would have soon run itself out, for the main issue of Kansas as a Free State, or Klnsas as a Slave State, will overshadow all sorts of secondhand tricks and devices to distract the public mind. "The Army Bill is passed. Very well. Mr. Pierce's mind will now be easy concerning the frontier Indian tribes, on whose account this extra session was called together. The bill is passed without that proviso, so that our amiable President has still an unlimited discre Lion Over the army money and the army itself, in behalf of Ithe .border ruffians. Perhaps his promises to Mr. Campbell, of the house, and gentle hints thrown out for his guidance by the Senate, may be followel by a corn. paratively impartial enforcement of the doctrine of squatter sovereignty—but we shall soon see. Both sides are marshalling their forces in Kansas or on the border for war on a large scale. We shall soon see whether the one party is to be disarmed, dispersed, and driven from Kansas again, while the other is to be pro tected and permitted to run loose and lawless over the territory, murdering and plundering under cover of the United States' troops. "In this connection we think it would be well for some ptiblic mass meeting to appoint a large committee of men of all parties to wait upon the President for the purpose of a definite understanding of what he now means to do in Kansas ; and we also think that it would be advisable to send out to Kansas a committee of men of character and high standing to overlook the administration of affairs there for the next two months, and to report to the next session of C oagress the results of their observations. With some such precautions as th ese " l`rini"" at laaat may be secured in Kansas between the belligerents; but, without some such pre caution, we fear that the passage of the Army Bill will only serve to kindle the combustibles collecting in Kan sas into a consuming fire." The news from Kansas is still threatening and perplexing. The partisans of slavery, under the orders of General Atchison, and the Froesoilers, commanded )ey General Lane, were preparing for an encounter. Fears were entertained that intelli gence of a bloody battle would soon be received. Advises down to the 20th of August hal been received from Cuba. The sanitary condition of Havannah continued to improve. There was no political or commercial intelligence of importance. From Nicaragua we have the confirmation of the rumour that Mr. Livingston, the United States' consul at Leon, had been shot by the Rivas party, in retaliation for the execution of Colonel Salizar by General Walker. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Arrogant, of 50 guns; the screw gun-boats Pioneer, Victor, and In trepid, of 6 guns each ; the screw line-of-battle ship Orion, 90 guns, and the screw frigate Imperi euso, of 50 guns, wore at anchor at San Juan. There is nothing later from California. The yellow fever was slowly approaching New York, and had broken out in a virulent form on Governor's Island. The following items of commercial intelligence are extracted from the Net. York _Herald : "Tue,day, Sept. 2, 6 p.m. "The decline in stocks is gradual, but steady. There are several causes for this depression ' and all parties are more or less affected by them. It does not full w that holders of stock believe in a rise ; but, on the contrary, many are firmly convinced that lower prices must soon rule. They are not, however, disposed to sacrifice their stocks, and hold on with the hope that, with close watching, they may get out comparatively easy. The short interest is large at the board, but most of the con tracts are new and at long dates. The demand for deli very is therefore limited, and likely to continue so.

The following is ourcorrospondent's letter, dated New York, September 3 : " Once more the fear of the approach of the yellow fever begins to engross public attention in Now York, to the exclusion of matters of more general inte- • rest, and this time with more apparent - reason than hitherto, In spite of an unusually cool month of August, and of precautions strict beyond precedent, the disease has been slowly creeping towards the city. The quarantine station of the city of new York is some five or six miles down the bay, ex tending along the channel between Staten and Long Islands, and through the Narrows into the lower bay. These waters are now occupied by about 170 sail, many of them much infected with the pestilence. From them the disease passed into Fort Hamilton, on the Long Island side of the Narrows, where it has produced, a nd is yot pro ducing, sad ravages among the few troops stationed there, and into some of the neighbouring villas. Slowly, but• surely, it has crept along the shore towards Brooklyn, a town of 200,000 people, on the southern shore of the East River, opposite New York. It has also found foothold in Old Castle William, on Governor's Island, whose bat teries guard the entrance of the East River, and P rotect Brooklyn heights on the ono side and the shady walks which ferns the southern point of New York on the other. Thus it has reached the last point before stepping into the corporate limits, and our journals and people are watching the tempera ture with anxiety to know whether we are to es cape the visitation which decimated Norfolk, and made such awful havoc in Charleston, Savannab, and New Orleans. By to end of another week wo shall know beyond reasonable doubt. " aitace roy last letter the two- Houses of Con gress have harmonised their difficulties by the House yielding its proviso, and allowing the Army Bill to pass without any restriction.
