A Prize Essay on the Character of the Welsh as a Nation, in the Present Age. By the Rev. W. JONES.—London: Simpkin and Marshall; Hugl.e.,, St. Martin's le Grand. This is one of the productions called forth by the late Royal Eisteddfod, or Congress of Welsh Bards, held in this town. It will be read with interest by the natives of the Principa lity, and by all who wish to form a correct opinion► of the actual state of society in that romantic part of the British empire. English travellers have described the beauties of the country—pointed out its druidical remains--and detailed some of its legendary tales; but the author of this essay, be ing a native, and intimately acquainted with the reiative po sition of the various classes of its inhabitants, and with habits and customs which he, beyond the glance of mere visitors, has with a candour and honesty characteristic of an independent mind, drawn aside the veil, and exposed to view many fea tures of Welsh character hitherto unknown to Englishmen! The work abounds with sketches of the dead and of the living, illustrative of the various points which the author considers it necessary to explain on presenting to the public a portion of the Welsh nation. Some of these we shall hereafter transfer to our pages. And, in concluding this short notice, we can only say to our English friends that we highly recommend the perusal of the work ; and to our Welsh readers, that we cannot suppose that any Welshman can rest satisfied without possessing a volume so replete with information, statistics, and details on Welsh topics nowhere else to be met with. LOSS OF THE CLONMEL STEAMER (From the Port Philip Herald of the Bth of January.) The plain, unvarnished narrative by Mr. D. C. Sitnson, reported below, will inform our readers of all the particulars attending the loss of the ill-fated Clonmel ; it will also con vey to them a picture of courage and self-devotion, of which our national history teems with innumerable instances ; ne vertheless, characteristic as they are of the British sailor, each occasion of their recurrence reflects additional lustre on his country and his profession. " On Wednesday afternoon, the 30th of December, I em barked on board the steam-ship Clonmel, Lieutenant Tollervey, commander, bound from Sydney to Port Philip. The passengers and crew consisted of i 5 individuals. At 4 p.m., rounded the south head of Port Jackson ; wind from the southward, blowing fresh. Next morning, 31st, found us off Jarvis's. Bay ; wind still adverse, with a strong head sea, the vessel progressing at an average of seven knots an hour. At daylight the Ist of January, Cape Howe bore W.S.W. of us ; in the course of the morning, sighted Ran' Head, and took a fresh departure, steering for Wilson's Pro montory. The wind was now fair with smooth sea, and our course S.W.A-W., the wind and weather continuing favour able during the day and night. A little after 3 a.m. of the 2,1 of January, all the passengers were startled by the ship striking heavily. On reaching the deck I discovered break ers ahead ; the captain, who had been on deck during the whole of the middle watch, giving orders to back astern, and doing all in his power to rescue the ship from her peril ous situation. Finding that the engines were of no avail in backing her off the bank, on which we now found she had struck, orders were given to lighten her by throwing over board cargo, &c., but without the desired effect, the vessel still surging higher upon the reef. The anchors were then let go, when, after a few more bumps, she swang head to wind, taking the ground with her stern, and bedding herself, with the fall of the tide, upon the sand, rolling hard and stri king occasionally. During the whole of this trying scene, the most exemplary conduct was shown by the crew in obey ing the orders of the captain and officers. Daylight had now made its appearance, and we found ourselves on shore on a sand pit at the entrance of Corner Inlet, about half a mile from the beach, between which and the vessel a heavy surf was rolling. " Captain Tollervey, on finding all attempts to get the vessel off by running kedges and warps out, throwing over board cargo, &c., unavailing, and a strong sea rising with the flood tide, turned his attention to the safety of the passengers and crew. After several trips by the whale-boats first, and assisted by the quarter-boats afterwards, every soul was land ed in safety by two p.m., the captain being the last to leave the vessel. A sufficiency of sails, awnings, and lumber was brought on shore to rig out tents for all hands, and every body set to work to form an encampment. In a short time the ladies and females were comfortably housed, having beds placed for them in a weather-proof tent ; the male passengers and crew were equally accommodated by means of spare sails and awnings brought from the ship, and we found ourselves at sundown as well provided for as we, under the circum stances, could desire. A sufficiency of provisions, consisting of live stock, hams, bread, flour, biscuit, rice, tea, sugar, wines, and beer had been landed during the forenoon to keep the whole party for ahout ten days ; water was found hi shun dance by digging, but was rather brackish to the taste. Captain Tollervey now brought order into the chaotic mass by establishing watches, previously haranguing the passen gers and crew, explaining to them the stronger necessity which existed under their unfortunate circumstances for dis cipline and punctual obedience to orders than would have been deemed necessary on board of his noble vessel had she been afloat. Universal assent was given to his exhortation, proper watches appointed, provisions, &c. stowed under a boat turned upside down, to guard them as well from petty depredations from the weather, sentinels being posted in all directions round the encampment, who were relieved every two hours. When order was thus established, and provisions distributed for supper, Captain Tollervey and myself lay down in the tent and talked the events of the day over. The anxiety of mind and fatigue of body which our worthy com mander must have undergone during that eventful day were scarcely visible either in his manner or appearance, whilst we were now quietly discussing the means of getting assist ance brought to us. He agreed with me that it would be desirable for a boat to be sent to Melborne for relief, and having obtained his consent to head the party, I had no trouble in finding a crew of five volunteers to join me in the undertaking. One of my fellow-passengers, Mr. Edwards, of the firm of Messrs. Edwards and Hunter, also volunteered to join us, and the next morning, amidst the cheers of our fellow-sufferers, we were launched from the beach by them in a whale-boat. We proceeded in the first instance to the vessel to lay in a store of provisions, not wishing to deprive those on shore of any portion of their scanty stock. Owing to the very heavy surf which was rolling on the beach, we were nearly two hours before we reached our ill-starred ship, being every moment in danger of swamping. The scene which now opened on ascending the deck was harassing in the extreme. A few hours before this stately vessel had been cleaving the waters, bouyant, like its living inmates, with life and hope—now an immovable wreck ; her cabins, that had a short time before, been the picture of cleanliness and order, now one mass of confusion, and strewn with lug. gage and lumber of all descriptions ; however, as our time was short, we supplied ourselves with such provisions as came within our reach, and after hoisting the - Union Jack to the mainmast, upside down, we shoved off, and committed ourselves to the care of a merciful Providence. At 8 o'clock a.m. the 3d instant, we took our departure outside the bank, steering for Sealers' Cove. Our boat was manned by five seamen, and besides ours we had a small lugsail made out of the awning ; Mr. Edwards and myself made up the number to seven. Our provisions consisted of buscuit, a ham, a breaker of water, three bottles of wine, 12 of beer, and one of brandy ; of the latter article I would not take more, dread ing the effects upon the crew. The small quantity I took, however, I found very beneficial administered to them in mi nute portions. " Shortly after leaving the Clonmel the wind came from the westward ; we were obliged to down sail and pull, and af ter six hours vain struggling against the wind to reach the main-land, we were under the necessity of running for one of the seal islands, where we found a snug little cove, which we entered, and, after refreshing the crew by a three hours rest and hearty meal, we once more pulled for the mainland, and reached Sealers' Cove about midnight, where we landed, cooked our supper, and passed the remainder of the night in the boat, which we anchored in deep water. At half-past 3 a.m., on the 4th instant, I started three men on shore to get the breaker filled with water ; they had scarcely filled it and brought it down to the beach, when I observed the natives coming down upon us; I hurried them on board, and got under weigh, the wind blowing hard from the east ward at the time. After a severe pull of four hours we were at last enabled to weather the southern point of the cove, to hoist sail, and run for Wilson's Promontory, which we rounded at 10 a.m., the sea running very high. The crew ever since we left the scene of our shipwreck be haved remarkably well, being perfectly satisfied with the scanty allowance which I put them as well as myself and fellow-passenger upon, who in this trying time kept up his spirits and assisted me in cheering on the men. At 8 p.m. we brought up in a small bay at the eastern entrance of Western Port ; we were glad to get on shore to stretch our wearied limbs. After a refreshing night's repose on the sandy beach, we started the next morning at the break of day, happy in finding ourselves so near the end of our voy age. Having a strong and steady breeze from the eastward we sailed along very fast before it, although we were in im minent danger of being swamped, the sea having risen very considerably, and breaking over us repeatedly. At 2 p.m. we were abreast of the Port Philip heads, but to our extreme mortification, when within a mile of being in a secure harbour, we found the strong ebb tide created such a ripple and so much broken water, that I did not consider it prudent to run over it. We were, therefore, obliged to keep the boat's head to windward from that time until the flood-tide would make ; we were in this tantalizing situation for four hours, when, to our inexpressible relief and joy, we saw a cutter making for the heads, and, bearing down upon her, found her to he the Sisters, Captain Mulhall, to whose hospitable reception I cannot do sufficient justice. He took our boat in tow and ourselves on board, and landed us at William's Town at 11 p.m. ; having been thus 63 hours from the time we left the ship to the time we landed at the beach. I cannot conclude this narrative without expressing my high sense of the extreme good conduct of the men who accompanied me on this voyage. Not a murmeg escaped them, though continually wet and working hard during the whole passage." CONSERVATIVE FESTIVAL AT WORCESTER.—On Wed nesday evening the members of the West Worcestershire Conservative Association held their annual dinner in the County Reading-room, which was tilled to overflowing. The principal object of the meeting was to introduce the new con servative candidate, Mr. Knight, who has been solicited to stand at the coming election, in opposition to Cap ain Win nington, the present whig member. In the course of his speech Mr. Knight expressed his warm attachment to Con servative principles, to which he thought the institutions of the country and the property of individuals owed their seen. rity. The requisition to the hon. candidate was signed by upwards of 1400 freeholders of the county. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday last, as Miss Hen rick, a youthful actress, of the City of London Theatre, was crossing the stage at the back where the car or den is placed, where a small flap, which is placed over the aperture through which food and water is conveyed to the tiger, fell down—the animal at the same moment thrust out his paw, and seizing the lady dragged her to the bars of the den by the back of her Areas, and inflicted two dreadful wounds on her legs. Her screams brought Mr. Carter, the lion king, to the spot, who was providentially standing on the stage at the moment. On seeing him the tiger relaxed his hold, and Miss Henrick was conveyed in a dreadful state to St. Bartholernew's Hospital. On examination the right leg from the calf to the ancle was found to be frightfully torn from the animal's fore paw ; the left leg is injured also, though in a less degree, CHINA, INDIA, AND EGYPT Our despatches are dated from China, April 1; from Bom bay, May I ; from Alexandria, May 22; from Malta, May •zu. Our express from China and India brings most important intelligence. The last dates are, from Macao the Ist of April, Singapore, the 10th, and Calcutta the 22d ; Bombay the Ist of May, and Alexandria the 22d. The negotiations between the British and Chinese Com missioners had been broken off a few days after the date of the last despatch (February 13,) and hostilities had recom menced which ended in the capture of all the Bogue Forts (30 in number, mounting 800 guns), the destruction of all the defences and batteries up to the walls of Canton, " tak ing, sinking, burning, or dispersing the enemy's flotilla," in the words of Commodore Sir J. Gordon Bremer; who conducted the operations, and on the 18th March " hoisted the Union Jack . on the walls of the British Factory This intelligence was contained in two despatches from Macao to Calcutta, the first by the Waterwitch on the 28th of Februai y, containing the explanation of these extraordi nary and eventful proceedings. Keshen, the Imperial Com missioner, had delayed the execution of the treaty concluded with Captain Elliot to obtain the Emperor's confirmation. Instead of approving, the Emperor has rejected the treaty, and issued four edicts breathing scorn and defiance of the English, delivering Keshen over to the Board of Punishment (though without depriving him of his command), divesting the Admiral Kwan Teenpie of his button, sending flying orders for the march of 8,000 of his best troops to defend Canton, " to subdue and recover the places on the coast," " to exterminate and drive out the English," " for it is ab- solutely necessary that the rebellious foreigners must give up their heads, which, with the prisoners, are to be sent to Pekin in cages to undergo the last penalty of the law." The fourth edict clearly betrays the deceptive policy pursued by the Chinese : viz., " To-day, the 11th of February, Keshen has reported that the English foreigners have usurped pos session of the batteries, and it is difficult to defend and keep the province. He further reports in a supplementary docu ment, in which he with intense eartnestness begs that favour may be bestowed on the English," &c. "On looking at the report, I am altogether filled with indignation and grief. The said great minister, because of the importance of the city of Canton and its granaries of rice, and also because the inhabitants are exceedingly numerous, because appre hensive that commotions would ensue, has made this a cause for temporary expedients, and deceptively acceded to the requests (of the English), and for the present they have not been surrounded or exterminated." This Imperial Edict continues—" Hasten, then, your consultations and schemes, attack and exterminate," &c. Before these hostile edicts had appeared, Captain Elliot, confiding in the good faith of Keshen, had sent orders to General Burrell to restore the island of Chusan to the Chi nese, and to return with the Bengal Volunteers to Calcutta. This order had been promptly obeyed. Chusan had been evacuated on the 25th of February. Three vessels, with the volunteers on board, had reached Singapore on the 16th of March, but it was expected they would be ordered back to Macao. The others had fortunately put into Hong-Kong for water, and were detained there. .Of the 1,700 European troops belonging to the 26th and 49th regiments which landed in Chusan in high health in July last, 190 only were left fit for duty. The British imprisoned by the Chinese at Ningpo had been liberated upon the evacuation of Chusan. An ar rangement had been made by the friends of Col. Anstruther to facilitate his escape, but he refused to avail himself of it, as he might thereby have exposed his friends in captivity to greater hardships. Captain Elliott, in 'pursuance of an ar rangement with Keshen. sent on the 14th of February the iron steamer Nemesis up the river with a draught of a treaty respecting the " details which remained matter for negocia tion," under orders to wait till the 18th. The Nemesis found the river obstructed by barriers, large batteries erect ing on shore and on the central island, and herself fired on by the Bogue forts while yet two leagues off. She therefore returned at once to Macao, where Capt. Elliot, at length com prehending Keshen'ts duplicity and the Emperor's inveterate hostility, prepared to recommence hostilities. He set sail on 20th February up the river; on the 24th Commodore Bremer attacked and destroyed the fieldworks, disabling 80 guns they mounted ; on the 25th and 26th he attacked and captured three adjoining Bogue forts without losing a single man, killing about 260 Chinese, and taking 1,300 prisoners, who were subsequently liberated at the opposite side of the river. The whole British force was on the 28th of February pro ceeding to attack Canton, at which date the Waterwitch was despatched from Macao express with the news to Calcutta. Vessels had also been sent to atop the passing transports from Chusan, and recall those arrived at Singapore. The supreme Government of India was making every exertion to send more troops to China. The above intelligence was de spatched from Calcutta by express overland to Bombe), but only arrived three hours after the departure of the steamer for Suez on the Ist of April. It was therefor e necessarily detained at Bombay till the 27th of April, when the steamer sailed for Suez with Sir James Carnac. The primary error and cause of delay in the transmission of this and the previous Chinese despatches has been attributed to the opinion expressed by Captain Elliot when, on the 27th January, he despatched the Enterprise steamer to Cal cutta, " that she might stop there, as all was settled in China" ! He had at the same time ordered his family to join him, in the conviction that he had re-established peace. By the arrival of the Queen steamer at Calcutta, on the 20th April, with Commodore Bremer himself on board, we learn the continued successful result of the operations of the British squadron while ascending the Canton river, subse quent to the 28th of February, capturing forts, destroying barriers, and blowing up junks, till the final success at Can, ton on the 18th of March. The reports of Commodore Bremer to Lord Auckland contain ample details of the daily and almost hourly operations of the British squadron. The casualties on its side are stated to be inconsiderable ' • 25 men and 1 lieutenant killed, and 26 men wounded. All the factories at Canton were occupied by the British troops. Captain Elliott had, on the 20th of March, issued a " cir cular to her Majesty's subjects," announcing that a suspen sion of hostilities had been agreed on between the Imperial Commissioner Yang and himself, " that the trade of the port of Canton is open, and that British and other foreign merchants who may see fit to proceed there for the purpose of lawful commerce shall be duly protected. No bond will be required by the provincial governor, but there will be no objection on the part of the British authorities to the like liabilities for the introduction of prohibited merchandise, or for smuggling duly proved, which would follow such offences in England, detention of person, or penal consequences of all kinds excepted." The circular winds up thus :—" No tice is hereby given, that British and foreign merchant vessels have permission to proceed to Whampoa ; all conse- 1 quences arising from the possible and sudden resumption of hostilities of course remaining at the risk of the parties." Subsequently another violent proclamation had been issued by the Emperor. The notices posted by the Canton autho rities on the walls to announce the re-opening of trade had been torn down, all communication with the English or dered to be cut off, and Keshin had been sent a prisoner to Pekin by order of the Emperor. The Bengal Hurkuru says, " We have heard upon good authority that the Bengal Volunteers, who had been detained at Singapore, have declared their unwillingness to return to China, and threatened a general mutiny if an attempt were made to compel them." The 55th European Regiment bad been embarked at Cal cutta as a reinforcement for the troops at Canton. The island of Hongkong had been evacuated by orders of Captain Elliott, on his discovery that Keshin's treaty was merely a deception. The Auckland steamer left Bombay on the 27th April with Sir J. R. Carnac, Bart. and family on board, en route for Egypt and England Sir James has resigned the governor ship of that presidency on account of his health, being threatened with paralysis. His departure had elicited feel ings of regret and sympathy amongst the natives of Bombay, and a subscription of 36,000 rupees had already been made for the purpose of presenting him with a piece of plate—of having a scholarship established in his name in the medical college—and of having his bust taken after his arrival in London. He landed with his lady and family at Suez on the 15th of May, and proceeded thence by Cairo to Alexandria, where they arrived on the 21st ult., and set sail in the Orien tal on the 22d. Captain Harris, of the Engineers, also sailed in the Auckland steamer from Bombay, and was landed at Aden, to proceed on a mission into Abyssinia. The Berenice, which left Bombay on the Ist of May, con veyed the important despatch of the arrival of the victorious British squadron at Canton, and all its successes since Feb. 28. This snail arrived at Alexandria at midnight on the 21st of May, and the Oriental sailed therewith next morning. An university at Madras has been opened by Lord Elphin stone, who continues to retain the government of that Pre sidency three years longer. The Supreme Government had opened a new loan at 5 per cent., a circumstance which had caused much speculation throughout India. The old loans of 4 per cent. have become depreciated, and would evidently have not been adequate to an emergency such as was contemplated in reference to new operations at Herat. The Bombay army is marching to wards Quetta and Candahar. Major Todd bad arrived safely at Gorisk. Generals Brooks and Nott, each at the head of 6000 men, were waiting for further orders. The rumoured advance of the Persians on Herat is now found to I be somewhat premature. All was quiet in Nepaul and Scinde. The Punjaub continued in a very disturbed state. The murder of Colonel Montoro, Captain. Fowkes and Pay. master Ford, by their own Sheik troops, near Pesha war, had been confirmed. The same mutinous body of soldiers Lave also murdered 119 of their own native officers. General Lumley, with his troops, were pre pared to cross the Sutledge at Feaozopore as soon as it might be necessary ; but it appeared that no decisive course had been taken. British interference had not yet been en tered on within the Punjaub, meanwhile it had become a prey to the ravages of lawless troops amounting to 80,000 men. _ . . ...-... . The Hill tribes in the Cutchee were threatening to avenge their recent defeats. Nusseer Khan had been induced by Colonel Stacey, to enter into arrangements, and to proceed with him to Quetta, to meet Mr. Bell, and ratify the treaty. Dost Mahommed was at Meerut on the 28th of March, and left it for Calcutta next day. Calcutta and Cuttack had 'been 'suffering severely from cholera; the deaths were: for some days up to the 9th of April, 50 in the former city alone, not counting its populous suburbs. The Rev. Mr. Backhouse, chaplain of Agra, had been carried off by it. The 32d Regiment of Native In fantry was attacked by it on the Bth of March, between Dacca and Dinapore, and 100 sepoys, about an equal number of boatmen and followers carried off in 11 days. The great discussion in Bombay respecting the contempt of the Supreme Court, committed by two sets of merchants, has ended by the judges allowing the rules to be discharged against those proprietors. A great sensation was caused thereby, and a subscription of £3OO collected to present a piece of plate to the barrister who had pleaded on their be half. The whole of the bar has condemned his conduct, and the public has allowed the matter to drop into oblivion. INDIA The Punjaub still continues to be the theatre of dissension and bloodshed. Three Europeans holding high rank in the Scheik army have been murdered by the discontented and mutinous soldiery. Their names are Ford, Foulken, and Mouton, the two latter Frenchmen, the former an English man, and one paymaster of her Majesty's 16th foot. There appears to be good reason for supposing that the discontented nobles at the court of Lahore are endeavouring to compass the death of Shere Sing. By the latest intelligence from that place it seems t he Mahara j ah wa s taking an excursion on the river, and that the boat in which he was embarked foundered without any apparent cause. This could only have occurred through treachery on the part of some of his attendants. Shere Sing, however, succeeded in swimming to the s h ore . The whole of his suite were also saved, with the exception of one sirdar, who has not since been heard of. SCINDE AND AFFGHANISTAN. Nothing of importance has occurred since the despatch of the last overland mail. Major Todd has arrived in safety at Candahar. There are various reports in circulation as to the propriety of his conduct in so hastily quitting Herat. Some of the Calcutta journals state that the Governor-General con siders him to have been too precipitous, and is therefore much displeased. This is however mere rumour. A large portion of the Bombay troops have advanced through the Bolan Pass. The head-quarters under Major-General Brooks arrived at Quettah on the 2d ultimo, and will remain there until the receipt of further instruc tions from Lord Auckland. few weeks will therefore determine whether Herat is to be left to the Shah Kamram and his minister Yar Mahomed, or to be held by a British garrison. The adoption of the latter mea sure would certainly be the most effectual means of destroy. ing the Persian influence in that quarter. The young Khan of Khelat is still amongst his own people. The political au thorities, notwithstanding their repeated disappointments, are still in immediate expectation of his surrendering himself. CEYLON Sir Colin Campbell arrived at Ceylon on the 6th ultim o and was immediately. proclaimed governor of that island. On the 7th the Right Hon. Stewart IVPlCenzie embarked in the Seaforth steamer for Bombay. He . arrived here on the 16th, and proceeds this day to Suez. PERSECUTION OF TIIE BOMBAY PRESS. The persecution of the Bombay press; instituted by the judges themselves, has proved an abortion, Sir Henry Roper being obliged to discharge the rules, after the affidavits of several gentlemen had been read in court, stating that Sir Henry did make use of words tantamount to demanding an apology from the proprietors.—Mr. Cochrane, defender of the editors, has thrown up his lucrative practice, being deter mined not to plead before a judge who is made a judge in his own case. THE -RED SEA—ABYSSINIA. It is stated in the India mess that a secret expedition is about to be despatched by Earl Auckland (St.) to the Red Sea, to counteract the intrigues of the French in Abyssinia. A cruiser is to keep up a communication between the expe dition and Aden. ' PERSIA The intelligence via India is It is said that the British agent was about to return to Bushire, and amicable relations were to be renewed on the basis of a treaty, by which the British will consent to evacuate Karrack, and the Shah cede the fort Gorian to Shah Kamran, and arrest his expedition to Herat. These stipulations are doubted, and it is now thought that Karrack will not be given up. UNITED STATES The packet-ship Stephen Whitney, Captain Popham, ar rived at Liverpool on Saturday afternoon from New York, whence she sailed on the 15th ult. By this conveyance we have received New York papers to the day of the vessel's sailing, and Canada papers to the 12th. Their contents are not important. The case of M'Leod was to be heard at New York on the day the Stephen Whitney sailed. The Canada papers state that his excellency the governor general had been suffering from a fresh attack of gout. His lordship had been unable to leave his bed on the 10th ult. ; but although experiencing severe pain, the symptoms of the renewed attack were not, it was said, of a nature to cause alarm. The province remained tranquil. Monetary and commercial matters at New York remained nearly in the state _they were at the despatch of the advices previously received. The shares in the Bank of the United States were quoted on the 13th (the 14th was set apart at the suggestion of President Tyler, as a day of public humiliation, fasting, and prayer,) at 171. On the subject of this bank the Philadelphia Inquirer says— " We learn that that the directors are busily engaged in making a trusteeship intended to secure the circulation, the deposits, and foreign balances, amounting in all to about 5,000,000 dollars. To this end, they have appropriated se curities of one kind and another which are estimated to be worth 12,500,000 dollars. The arrangement will be com pleted and carried into effect as speedily as possible. The notes and deposits, it would therefore seem, are perfectly safe, although some delay may take place before their final liquidation." The Journal of Commerce publishes a letter, dated Callao, February 18, which gives a brief account of the convulsion in Peru and Bolivia, a rumour of which reached us the other day, via 'Valparaiso, In Peru, Colonel Vivanco had been proclaimed supreme chief in the departments of Cusco, Are quipa, Puna, and Moquegua ; and, notwithstanding General San Roman, who had been placed in command of the former by Vivanco, had declared against him, with about 1000 men, yet he appeared to be rapidly gaining ground, as the whole community are described as being decidedly against the go vernment of Gamarra. In Bolivia a general rising took place on the 21st of Januar', headed by Generals Lara and Irigoyen, who had proclaimed General Santa Cruz supreme protector. The new republic of Yucatan, which recently separated from Mexico on the same principles that Texas separated from that state, had established a constitution on the most liberal political, religious, and commercial principles. All religions are protected, and the freedom of the press is gua ranteed, The New York papers publish a decree, which contains the spirit and essence of the new constitution. MONTE VIDEO AND BUENOS AYRES. Extract of a letter received in Liverpool from Monte Video, dated March 31, 1841 " The Buenos Ayres fleet, consisting of one brig, bearing the pendant of Admiral Brown, and five small craft, appgared off this port on the 29th instant, and anchored this morning at the mouth of the harbour ; but t whether the intention be anything beyond bringing our fleet to action or not is not known. On taking his position Brown saluted the town with 21 guns, having the flag of the republic at the foremast head. It is rumoured that the port will be placed under blockade, but we do not credit it. The public mind is so much taken up with the event that business is out of the question. The present paralyiation will continue so long as the vessels con tinue in this quarter. " Our fleet was at Colonia a few days since, but it is feared it will not be able to cope with that of Buenos Ayres. " A direct property tax is to be levied to raise 60,000 dollars monthly to defray the expenses of the war with Buenos Ayres." The rate of exchange on England was 74 to i premium, with a fair amount of business for the Stephen Whitney and the Britannia. LARGE TROUT.—A fine common trout was taken in the Wansbeck, below Sweethope Mill, on Tuesday last, by Isaac Milburn, Sir John Trevelyan's gamekeeper. It weighed 41b. 40z., and measured in length 201 inches long, and girth 10 inches. Its flesh was pink, and its stomach contained many minnows and grubs. REPRESENTATION OF LEEDS.—Mr. Baines retires from ill health. Sir William Molesworth resigns because he can not help it. William Beckett, Esq., and Lord Jocelyn, eldest son of the Earl of Roden, are the two candidates on the conservative interest. With such candidates, and with a favourable register, the conservatives have an opportunity of winning both seats, and of wiping away the disgrace brought upon Leeds by its treatment of Sir John Beckett in 1837. COMMERCIAL DISTRESS IN JAMAlCA.—Extract of a letter addressed to a lady of Bristol, received by the last West India mail, and dated Kingston, Jamaica, April 19, 1841 : " Times are wonderfully altered in this island. We are in a state of general bankruptcy ; such universal distress, both in the agricultural and commercial interests, is unprecedented. A long drought of eighteen months, a scarcity of labour, and even that granted reluctantly at high wages, and no market for the little produce realised to raise the means to pay for it, with numerous other evils, tend to paralyse all the efforts of the planter, whilst the merchant is scarcely better situated. The banks afford no accommodation; the heavy failures daily occurring thereby create a want of confidence, and there is no vent for an overstocked market. All those evils, com bined with others too numerous to detail, and which would not prove very interesting to you, render our commercial interest in a most unparalleled state of distress. When we are to look forward to brighter prospects it is impossible to conjecture. I have long foreseen what was likely to happen, and have been guided accordingly in all my transactions ; I will not trouble you more on this subject, which must be anything but interesting to a female, but a merchant-man would scarcely know how to fill up a letter without touching upon these topics. I have given a true picture, and it will tend to convince the good folk in England of the result of all their wise measures. A failure has just taken place at Mon tego Bay to the amount of upwards of £ 50,000 sterling."

Tea.—At the commencement • of the week the market was very quiet, but on the arrival of the express from China on the and instant, bringing accounts of the hostilities having been resumed, and of our forces having taken poSsession of the Bogue Forts, considerable excitement took place, and prices improved ad to Sd per lb, at which advance the market doses very firm.

About 500 brls. of American Tar have been sold at 12s 9d, the barrels being of irregular size.

Hides.—Some considerable sales of salted Buenos Ayres have been made, at 4*d for fair to good Ox, aid to aid for heated, and aid to 4id for Cows, which were much wanted The public sale of East India Kips on Tuesday was very dull, and prices rather lower ; out of 56,000 Kips offered, only 18,0000 have been sold, at 9id to 100 for good sound dry salted, lid to lid for Ist rubbed, 7d to 7i for Ist class dry and boined, to 61d for 2nd class, and 40 to sid for 3d class : 680 Buffalo brought 4id for sound, 150 salted Demerara sd, and 200 dry salted St. Vincent 4id per ib Tobacco.—The same dullness still exists that has prevailed for some weeks past, and the total sales for the last month only reach 4so hhds., of which 200 were for Ireland, (So for export, and 190 hhds. to Manufacturers.

The arrival of Wheat to-this day's market is good, which meets with a dull sale, and the prices of last week are with difficulty maintained. Oats and Shelling fully as dear. In Beans and other articles no alteration. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JUNE 7. Excessive dullness prevails M our market for Butter, and prices continued to decline; 96s to gEs may be considered about the currency for the best brands. Great want of confidence exists, and very considerably lower prices are anticipated. We have heard of no actual sales of pickled Butter since our last, and we cannot quote prices higher than 90s for seconds. The Provision trade is dull, and purchases may be effected upon easier terms ; good heavy Beef may be noted at about 125 s per tierce. Pork 75s to 77s 6d per barrel. Bacon supports the late advance, and the demand good. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 4 Since our last weekly report on Friday last, no change for the better has occurred in the cotton market : indeed the past week may be considered to have been more dull than any of the preceding ones : but which is most probably to be accounted for by the general practice of the Whitsun week being kept as a holiday in the manufacturing districts, and which, combined with the previous working of short time, has been the cause of the limited business transacted in our market this week. - _ _ . . . In prices we make no mates ial alteration, although owing to the difficulty in effecting sales in a flat market, they are in soma instances rather in favour of the buyer. The total sales of the week are 12,000 bales, of which ex porters have taken 250 bags Surats, and the remainder is to the trade. During the past month there have been forwarded into the country unsold, 1,670 Americans, and 200 Pernams. COTTON MARKET, JUNK 5 Our market still remains very dull and inanimate, and the busi ness is again to-day only to a moderate extent—the total sales being 1500 to 2000 bags, consisting principally of American de scriptions. Prices are unchanged. COTTON MARKET, JUNE 7 We have to report a better inquiry fur Cotton to-day, and the business done amounts to 3000 bags, all to the trade, except 200 bales Americans and 200 Surats, purchased for exportation. There is no alteration to notice in prices, which remain as they were on Friday last. COTTON MARKET WEEKLY REPORT The inquiries continue on a most limited scale. In consequence of the late heavy imports, American descriptions have been more freely offered, and a reduction of *d per lb has been submitted to. 250 Surat have been taken for export. During last month, there were forwarded to Importers in the country 1070 American and 200 Pernambuco. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 28M ultimo to the :3rd instant, inclusive.

The imports of foreign comprise 11,787 quarters of Wheat, 3,255 quarters of Beans, 944 quarters of Peas, and 75110 barrels of Flour. There were released from bond, from the 27th nit. to yesterday inclusive, about 18,000 quarters of Wheat, 1,050 quarters of Barley, and 2,10 u barrels of Flour. The duty on Wheat is now 24s 8d per quarter, that on Flour 14s led per barrel. The prevalence of fine weather has, throughout the week, rendered the Corn trade dull, the transactions in any article depending on what might be required for immediate consumption, thus giving to prices, generally, a downward tendency. Free Baltic Wheat, which constitutes our chief supply, must be noted Id to 2d per bushel, Oats Id per bindle', and Oatmeal 3d per load cheaper than on this day se'nnight. Free Flour, from scarcity, has maintained its previous value. Barley, Beans, and Peas each the turn lower. No transactions have transpired in the bonded market.
