AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA. The Royal mail steam-ship Arabia, arrived at Liverpool, at half-past 1 on Saturday afternoon, with advices from New York to the Bth, and Bos ton to the 10th inst. She has also brought 178 passengers, and $188,253 in specie on freight. The Royal mail steam-ship Africa arrived at New York on the evening of the 4th inst. The steam-ships Star of the West and George Law had arrived at New York, with advices from California to the 15th of April, and $2,764,520 in specie on freight and in the hands of passengers. The screw steam-ship Cleopatra, which arrived at Portland, on the sth inst., from Liverpool, had a very narrow escape, and, but for the presence of mind of her commander, Captain Salt, might have been lost with all on board. In endeavour ing to enter the St. Lawrence to reach Quebec, which was her proper destination, she got amonr , the ice, which struck her with such force as to make a large hole through her bow, half-a-foot or so below the waterline. The captain immediately ordered all the passengers and crew to the extreme aft part of the ship, which raised the bow suffi ciently to enable the disaster to be repaired so as to get into port. It is much to be feared that the missing City of Glasgow, now out 69 days from Liverpool, may have met with a similar accident, with a less fortunate result. The weather in the St. Lawrence was more severe than had been known for many years. Several shipmasters, ac customed to the navigation of the St. Lawrence, .who were on board the vessel, took occasion to ten der to Captain Salt,their high opinion of his judg ment and skill. The El Dorado, the Star of the West and the , George Law had arrived with late advices from San Francisco, and a total of $2,914,520 in gold dust. The road from San Juan del Sud was in good con dition. The California papers continue to give en couraging accounts of mining o p era ti ons. At Yankee-hill, near Columbia, a pure piece of gold, we ighing 271b5., had been dug up by a man who the day before had not sufficient to purchase a breakfast. Walker and his band had evacuated Lower California and gone no one knew where, perhaps to Texas. They drove off 300 or 400 head of cattle belonging to the rancheros of Lower Cali fornia. A quicksilver mine had been discovered in the coast range of mountains, about 70 miles south of Pacheco' s P ass, an d said to be equal in richness to the new Almadon mines. The markets at San Francisco were moderately active. A steamboat explosion had occurred in San Francisco Bay, by which 36 persons were killed. In the Senate, on the 9th, Mr. Ingersoll delivered a speech on the European war, advocating the im mediate declaration, that free ships make free car goes, and that the United States would not permit the search of American vessels or the overhauling of their papers. The Nebraska Bill was still before the House of Representatives. According to the Herald, the Government had resolved on energetic measures in regard to the Black Warrior affair, the despatches from Madrid having given great dissatisfaction. The efforts to raise the Ericsson had not proved successful, although divers had penetrated into the cabins and closed the port-holes ; an immense can vas sheet, which had been passed round the vessel, was rendered nearly useless by the strong current. Captain Ericsson, in a letter to the New York papers, asserts that her trial trip was a complete success, a speed of 11 miles an hour being attained with a low pressure of steam. Four persons had been killed near Philadelphia by the explosion of a steam boiler. On the 9th a fire broke out in Forsyth-street, New York, and before it was extinguished destroyed upwards of $60,000 worth of property. The New York Chamber of Commerce has memo rialised Congress in relation to the rights of neutrals and the importance of taking advantage of the existing state of affairs in Europe to negotiate treaties with the different maritime Powers of the world for the protection of the rights of neutral vessels, and to establish the American principle that free ships make free goods. The captain of the steamer J. L. Stephens reports that Santa Anna was blockading Acapulco on the 22d ult. The J. L. Stephens was fired at and boarded by a naval officer, and compelled to turn back. During the detention of the steamer at Aca pulco shots were frequently exchanged between two Mexican vessels and the fort, without effect on either side. Santa Anna, with an army variously estimated at from 3,000 to 5,000 men, was encamped in the neighbourhood, and it was expected that he would make an attack on the town during the night. According to letters from Havanuah, the Cap tain-General was pushing to the utmost all measures for the defence of the island in the event of a war with the United States. The military force was estimated at 12,000 men. The correspondent of the New York Daily Times again reports the landing of three cargoes of slaves. At Montreal, on the 4th inst., a meeting was held expressive of sympathy with the Allied Powers in their contest with Russia. The following resolu- tions were unanimously adopted : " That at this momentous period, when the peace of Europe has been broken and the British dominions ex posed to the risks of war, it becomes the duty of the citi zens of Montreal to express to her Majesty the assurance of their cordial and united support in the contest in which the British and French nations have been com pelled to participate against the aggression of despotic ambition and intolerant power. " That duly appreciating the enjoyment of tranquility, and the blessings of material and abundant prosperity which pervade this province of her Majesty's dominions, the citizens of Montreal cannot withhold their expres sion of their warmest sympathy for those of their fellow subjects who may be personally engaged in this impor tant and unprovoked contest. " That while we humbly invoke the Almighty Gover nor of the universe to avert from this province the cala mities of war and to restore peace to Europe, we shall at all times be ready boldly to repel forei g n and unpro voked aggre ss i on u p on t hi s portion of her Majesty's dominions, and with our utmost power to maintain the tranquillity which now reigns throughout this province. The temporary Parliament House at Quebec had been destroyed by fire. The New York stock-market, on the 9th, was dull and heavy. The quotations were—Canton Company, 231. 5 • New York Central, 1021 ; Erie, 681 ; Norwich-Worcester, 54 ; Stonington, 64f ; Readin g , 74i ; Hudson, 64i ; New York and New Haven, 91 ; Haarlem, 48g. The demand for money was active, but the supply not large. Rates were without change. Sterling exchange was steady at 1091 to 109,4 for best bankers' bills. Cotton was dull and inactive. The market for breadstuffs was without much change. Flour was firmer, as was iron. Freights were quiet and engagements light. SHIPPING. The Southampton, from London ; the Diadem and , Art Union, from Havre ; and the Great Western and the Andrew Foster, from Liverpool, at New York. The Franklin, from Liverpool, at Charleston. The Daniel Huntley, from Liverpool, at Bucksport. The Competitor, from Glasgow for Providence, was ashore on Mackerel-cove on the Ist inst., but got off after dischargin- , part of her cargo, and arrived at Providence on the sth. She was very little damaged. The Phaeton, from Liverpool, at Boston. The Colombo, from Liverpool, and the Diana from Bristol, at New Orleans. The Consul, from Liverpool, at Philadelphia. GREECE. A T ium 4 ) May ''‘' —The Greek insurrection still Continues, in spite of divers alternations of fortune. beenAt Pet, the orps which was besieging Arta has , attacked uon its by the Turks and forced to aban had position,deseend 'On the 24th of April the Greeks several eoga,emelnat°. the plain, and had had which they had It 2 with the Turks, in all of body of cavalry had even victorious. Their little of Albanians whom they surrounded a body destroyed, wh en the Albanians might have entirely the sign of; he cross, and to began to make Christians, Ind that' they 0 swear that they were belonged to the Greek camp, by which stratagem, or sav ed their lives. The following rather perjury, they tremely dark, and the rain fell i n utore night was ex the insurgent s, takin g it for granted that a° that long day's skirmishing, and with such butt after Weather, they might tak e a ni g ht's rest in perfect Security, eather, went to sleep withou t settin g the u sual watch, their negligence was fatal to them, as the Turks fell upon them in the night and completely di,:, persed them, but without any great loss. At the first attack of Arta the Turks had been forced to evacuate barracks which they occupied on the Greek frontier. The major commanding the royal troops put a garrison into it in order that this • important post might not be left unoccupied. But, after the defeat of the insurgents, the Turks re ' demanded their barracks, which the Greek au ' thority immediately restored to them, making a protocol of the transaction. The Greeks were not more fortunate at Domoco, in Thessaly. They were besieging the town nar , rowl * y, and already occupied several houses, when ~',- fob ; , thousand 1 regu ar Turkish troops marched nstttem from Vol os, with cavalry and artillery. But the, Greeks had taken 1 • .ground so badly t their , that the t - tiemy was not only allowed to approach i but eve 4 to penetrate between their entrenchments, 1 so as to isolate them. The nearest corps, that of ~,, , - Evpgeli,Contoganni fought d • urmg the whole day "°.. ..:-../ , -with. -dstraordinary ' courage ugh rage ' • they stood several .VI.IL 1 \ , 1 *as:a without the regulars • ' flinching, and their fire was so destructive that the Turkish officers ' 4 l were seen to strike their men with the flat of their sabres to force them to advance. This unequal struggle lasted till three in the morning, when the Greeks, seeing that the rest of their army, from which they were completely cut off, could not come to their rescue, were obliged to decamp in the dark, and the siege of Domoco was raised. But these reverses have been compensated by several advantages. The whole of Magnesia, of of Thessaly, is in arms, and one corps has occupied a position on Mount Ossa , not far from th e Ri ver Peneus. On the other side of the river, the inha bitants of Olympus, exasperated by the act s o f cruelty which they .have been subjected to lately, and by the destruction and pillage of their monas tery, have risen in the neighbourhood of the town of Elasson. General Hatzi Petro, who was marching against Tricala, was attacked by Zeneil Pacha , but having b e en reinforced by those who h a d fl e d from Domoco, the Turkish corps was destroyed, and the Pacha himself killed. In another affair not less fatal to the Turks, and in which the Greeks got possession of a great num ber of guns with bayonets, Ismail Bey Frassari was killed—the military chief of all Roumelia, and the terror of the country from his tyranny. The whole of Macedonia is on fire. General Isami Cara tasso, at the head of 3,000 men—to whom the in habitants of all the villages where he passed have joined themselves, and still more strengthened by the sympathy of the monks of Mount Athos, who made so desperate a resistance in the first Greek revolution, and who have now furnished a thou sand men and a sum of 10,000 piastres, was march ing on Thessalonica, where the Turks were in the utmost consternation. He had already beaten several detachments in the Chalcidic promontory. But the position of the Greeks in that part of the country is extremely dangerous, as they are com pletely isolated, and all succour sent them by their countrymen is intercepted by the French and Eng lish cruisers. In Athens the Ministry have closed the Cham bers, from purely economical motives—as many of the deputies, natives of the insurgent provinces, and others, out of sympathy for the cause, having gone to the war—the number was no longer com plete, and the Chambers had for some time paid without sitting. This measure is not of the smallest political importance, since the Chambers had, by a unanimous vote, approved of the policy of the Cabinet on the great question of the day. The Hellenic subjects dismissed from Turkey continue to arrive in great numbers in all parts of the country, having lost all they possessed. Mme. Tzavellas and family have been obliged to leave Athens, in order to avoid the indignation of the people, who; on the news of the disaster at Peta, caused by the negligence of the commander, General Tzayellas, accused him of having betrayed the national cause, and threatened to set fire to his house, which was prevented by the police. THE BANKRUPTCY OP MR. CHARLES MATHEWS, THE COMEDIAN. On Saturday Mr. Mathews filed his balance sheet in the court of Mr. Commissioner Fane, as a preliminary step to his coming up before that learned gentleman for the purpose of passing his examination. He is described in the document as a commission agent, and the accounts extend over 22 large folio pages, but the information contained in them is of a very meagre character. There is a total absence of all details as to the profits, expenses, or repairs and alterations of the theatre, and it appears that the whole amount of assets for the numerous cre ditors is but 61. 14e. 4d. in the hands of Mr. Thomas, who has been acting in the twofold capacity of trustee for the creditors and accountant to the bankrupt. So far back as April, 1851, Mr. Mathews petitioned the Court for protection from arrest under the Debtor and Creditor Private Arrangement Act. His debts were then 17,7271. 9s. 6d., and, after several meetings of creditors, they resolved upon appointing Mr. Thomas, the trustee, to manage the receipts and payments of the theatre for their benefit; Mr. Mathews undertaking to perform at a fixed salary. The amount of remuneration which the bankrupt received for his services during this period is not disclosed in his balance sheet, but his debts appear to have been increased above 4,700/. The balance sheet commences on the 2d of April, 1851, and ends on the 7th April last, when the adjudi cation in bankruptcy took place. The following is a ovy of the summary : £22,44516 9 700 0 0 DEBTOR. --- - To Creditors Ditto holding security Profits from the Lyceum Theatre, including amounts received from provincial engage ment Less keep of carriage, 3 years, at 330/.

ROBBERY OF 3331.—A cattle-dealer from Ayrshire had his pocket picked in Glasgow on Thursday of a pocket. book, containing 3001. in 201. bank-notes of the Wes tern and the Clydesdale Banks, 201. in 1/. dotes, and about 131. in sovereigns. He came in from Paisley to Glasgow in an early forenoon train from Greenock. He travelled in a second-class carriage, but suspects that the money had been taken off his person on the plat form after arrival. The book and money were in an in side vest pocket, but the vest seemed to have been dex terously cut open in front, and the book and contents extracted through the bottom of the pocket. THE BEARSKIN ON THE BOSPHORUS.—Last Sunday two of the Grenadier Guards, in their bearskin caps, came over from Scutari, and were followed about by a crowd of people, who were all very anxious to find out who or what they might be. They passed for generals at the very least ; and I have a strong impresion that the bulk of the population put them down as Prince Napoleon and the Duke of Cambridge, taking a walk before dinner. The bearskin cap has more astonished the Turks than the whole army that is encamped at Scutari. "Ishallah ! what a hat ! What can it be ? Can they take is off ?"—Letter from Constantinople.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVER HAMPTON. A special meeting of this company was held on Fri day at the London Tavern, to consider two bills now be fore Parliament, in compliance with the standing orders of the House of Lords ; Mr. J. Parson in the chair. The CHAIRMAN explained that the first bill was to au thorise the construction of a small branch to Chipping Norton, which was situated about 5 miles from their main line, and 16 miles from Oxford. The popula tion of the district was about 6,882 persons, ac cording to the last census. Influential persons among them had subscribed 10,0001. towards the con struction of the line, and Mr. Peto, M.P., had subscribed 14,0001., making the total 24,0001., for which sum the line was to be completed. The Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company were to work the line for 50 per cent of the gross receipts, and to pay over to the shareholders of the branch line one-third of the gross re ceipts of any increase of traffic which may arise to the main line from the construction of the branch line, The object of the arrangement, which was intended to form part of a series of such arrangements, was for the pur pose of enabling third parties locally interested to con struct the requisite branch lines in the district of the main line without calling upon the proprietors of the parent line to subscribe any capital for the construction of branch lines, and thus practically to close the capital account of the main line when it was completed. A branch be tween Stourbridge and Dudley was now being projected on the same principle, and would be submitted for approval next session. The other bill he had to submit was for the purpose of making certain alterations in the line and levels of the Stratford-upon-Avon branch, by which a saving of 30,000/. would be made on the original estimate of 150,0001., and the time for completing the works would be extended for a period of 3 years. The time for completing the mixed gauge on the main line would be extended by the bill until the 31st of Decem ber, 1855. Powers were also contained in the bill authorising the issue of new shares, with power of redemp tion to pay them off at some future time; to form a junction at the Wolverhampton station, and to establish a provident institution for their men, the company al lowing 4 per cent. per annum on the deposits. The great object they had in view was to obtain an extension of time to complete the works, to raise the necessary capital, and to accommodate the traffic. The receipts would soon average 3.0001. a-week, which would enable them to pay the interest on the borrowed money and on the first preference shares, and on opening the line from Tipton to Wolverhainptun, in June next the traffic would gradually increase to 4,0001. per week by the end of the year. He concluded by moving reso lutions approving the bills. A discussion ensued, in which Mr. Thorp, Mr. Jessell, Mr. Tomlyn, Mr. Malins, and other shareholders took part, in respect to the proposed arrangement for working the Chipping Norton branch, it being considered that 36 per cent, of the extra gross traffic receipts derived from the branch line, which may be brought on the main line, was too much to allow. Eventually resolutions were passed approving the bills and authoriiing the directors to make such altera tions in them as may be deemed expedient, and to re serve the right of purchasing the Chipping Norton branch at par. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the directors. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES ON RAILWAY BILLS. GREAT WESTERN (STRATFORD). Lord STANLEY reported from the sub-committee that the objects of the bill are merely to empower the Great Western Railway Company to provide additional station accommodation at Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Bushbury, and to make further provision with reference to stopping up Brittle-street, in Birmingham. SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER. Lord STANLEY reported from the sub-committee that the objects of the bill are to amend the acts granting certain powers to the Shrewsbury and Chester, and the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Chesire Junction Railway and other companies. The bid does not authorise the execution of any new work, or the raising of any further capital. STOCKTON AND CLEVELAND UNION. Mr. T. EGERTON reported from the sub-committee that they had examined the allegations contained in the preamble of that bill, but the same had not been proved to their satisfaction. TOWY VALE. Mr. ADAIR reported from the sub-committee that the object of the bill is to make a railway from the town of Llandovery to join the Llanelly Railway at Llandilo fawr. The capital is 60,0001., and the amount of loan 18,0001. The length of the line is 11 miles 17 chains, and the steepest gradient is 1 in 140 at the junction with the Llanolly Railway. It is proposed to construct the line on the narrow guage, with power to lay down the additional rails to adapt it to the broad guage. It is intended that the line should cross on a level four roads. The estimated cost of the railway is 55,0001., and the quantity of land required is 90 acres. The committee were satisfied of the fitness in an engineering point of view of the proposed railway. YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK (DOCKS, &c.) Mr. T. EGERTON reported from the sub-committee that the new works proposed to be constructed are to be executed out of funds which the company are at present authorished to raise. The aggregate length of the lines of railway forming the approaches to the docks at Jarrow Slake is 5 miles 2 furlongs. The estimated cost of the railway and docks is 300,0001., and the quantity of land required 5761 acres. The committee are satisfied of the fitness in an engineering point of view of the proposed railway and works. It is proposed by the bill to em power the Dean and Chapter of Durham to appropriate a portion (not exceeding 5,0001.) of the money payable to them for the purchase of certain waste and other lands which may be required for the proposed works to the endowment of a church near the docks. NORTH YORKSHIRE AND CLEVELAND. Mr. T. EGERTON reported from the sub-committee that the proposed capital of the company is 180,0001., and the amount of loan 60,0001. The length of the line is 29 miles 7 furlongs, and the steepest gradient is 1 in 71. It is intended that the line should cross on the level 19 roads. The estimated cost of the railway is 180,0001., and the quantity of land required 2551 acres. The committee are satisfied of the fitness in an engineering point of view of the proposed railway.

Shad well. DREADFUL MURDER IN DEVONSHIRE.—A dreadful and mysterious murder has just been discovered near Tor rington, North Devon. Early on Wednesday morning, the 17th inst., a farm labourer living in the village of Taddiport, was proceeding to his work, and when about a mile from Torrington, near the residence of Sir Trevor Wheler, he heard a low moaning noise, and, on look ing round, he saw the body of a young woman lying in a ditch, shockingly mutilated. He lifted her up, and found that the poor creature still breathed, but her head was one mass of cuts and bruises, and the brain was protruding through the top of the skull. That a foul murder had been attempted there was very little doubt, the cupidity of the perpetrator of the crime being apparent from the fact that the poor girl's pockets had been rifled of a few shillings, and a basket and a bundle which she carried had been stolen. On inquiries being instituted, it appeared that the victim of this cruel outrage was a young woman named Richards, employed as a glover in the neighbouring parish of Lang tree. She had been to Torrington to take in her work and receive her wages, and on Tuesday afternoon she left Taddiport on her way home about 4 o'clock. The place where she was found is an open s h a ll ow di tc h , about five minutes' walk from the village. The attack must evidently have been made in the road from the quantity of blood and hair upon the road and the adjacent bank ; and it is probable that, after becoming insensible, she was dragged to the side of the highway and thrown into the ditch. The young woman was removed to the nearest house, where medical aid was procured, but she expired with out being able to give any particulars of her assassin. The supposed murderer, a man who was seen following the young woman through Taddiport, is a stranger to the neighbourhood. The police traced his footmarks to the aqueduct on the road to Bideford, where all further clue was lost. On Thursday afternoon the police suc ceeded in apprehending the supposed murderer, and he has since been identified as the man seen following the deceased out of Taddiport on Tuesday afternoon. He then wore a large pair of whiskers, but when taken into custody they seemed to have been recently shaved off. The accused has been removed to the lockup at Torrington to await the result of the coroner's inquest. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—Du Barry's Delicioua Revalenta- Arabica.
