Agents t ot ROBERT NORRIS, lirerpout, SEACOMBE HOTEL, GARDENS, AND BOWLING-GREEN. —This still most rural of our Cheshire ferries promises this year to be more attractive than on any previous season. The three boats now engaged upon the ferry have recently undergone a thorough repair; and a fourth is being re. fitted, and is expected to vie in speed with any on the river. The bowling-green, which was opened on Good Friday, is in splendid order, and is admitted to be the most pleasant resort within many miles of Liverpool. The gardens are also putting on their spring adornment ' • and new parterres have been laid out, which will a ff or d an additional source of delight to promenaders, who are at all times allowed to avail themselves of the numerous attractions and the health-bestowing breezes of the lo cality, which commands one of the finest views of the Mersey, of Liverpool and its magnificent docks, which can be found. We may add that, during the low tides of last week, Messrs. Parry lengthened their slip by five yards, which will enable them to command in future an excellent landing, at any period, without the annoyance of having to ground a boat to pass over. PEACEFUL QUARTERS BEFORE Mon?At.r.—The Offi cers' tents were the favourite mark of Moolraj's gunners, these were pitched, for stater, under the lee of the Kut tee Byragee-gerden, which the rebels discovering, skilfully elevated their guns so as to drop the shot just over the top of the trees. One Sunday' morning, I remember, the nerves of our little congregation were disturbed by about twenty shot falling round the tents in the space of a very few minutes , and when at length one foetid its"'Billet", and smashed a man's thigh at the door, a general rush was made to our guns, and the whole strength of the artillery bent upon the Bloody Bastion until its fire was silenced. On another occasion Major Napier came over to me one night to talk over the morrow's plans. We sat together under the awning of my tent, with our feet resting on the table, in the favourite attitude of Englishmen in the East, sipping hot tea, and breathing the cool night air. Lake. exhausted with his day's work, was fast asleep in his bed under the same awning as eurselves. Presently the rebel gunners seemed to awake, and one shot buried itself his. sing in the sand by Napier's side; then another ripped its way by me. A third fell at the head of Lake's bed, and his servant immediately got up, and with great careful'. ness turned his bed round. Poor Lake gave a yawn, and asked. sleepily, What's the matter ?" ' Nothing !' re plied the bearer, ' it's only a - cannon- ball !' Lake went to sleep again. Five minutes later another shot fell at his feet, and seemed to say ' Fish!' as it hit nothing but the ground when it came for a man. Again the good bearer shifted his master's bed, and again Lake half-asleep, a sk e d What's- the matternow 1' and was told in reply,.' Another cannon-ball ; nothing more !' on which he, said !' and returned calmly to the land Of dreams, while Napier, and I finished our conversation. This shoivs what habit brings us to. If a naughty boy was, at this moment, to throw a pebble -stone through the study-window before me, I should probably be unable to thlnk of anything else for an lionr.—A Year In the Punjab, LATER FROM AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM-SHIP CANADA. The British and North American Royal Mail Steam ship Canada, Capt. Harrison, arrived in th e r i ver l a st night, shortly before eight o'clock, with advices from New York to the Bth instant. The Canada left Boston on Wednesday, the 9th instant, at 1 10 p.m., and Hall ax on the 11th inst., at 1 ?5, a.m. The Canada encountered strong head winds for severel days, which, of course, somewhat retarded her passage. She has brought 126 passengers, a list of whom we give below. The Canada has brought only £4OOO !n spe c i e . The usual telegraphic despatch, via Halifax, has n o t been received ; but we learn that a private message was received by telegraph, at Halifax, on Thursday, the 10th, annauncing the arrival of the steam-ship Africa, at New York, on the 10th instant. The elections in Connecticut, for governor and other state officers, had resulted in favour of the democrats. The returns from Massachusetts were not complete. Order had been restored at Boston, and much gratifi cation was expressed by the anti-abolitionist party that Chief-Justice Shaw had refused to grant a writ of habeas corpus in the case of the fugitive slave Simms, who had been arrested in that city. Advices from Havana to the 3rd instant, state that a large number of American merchant-ships were loading with supar. Everything was quiet. Some rumours were afloat about another Lopez expedition, but they attracted no attention. Within the past fortnight, the arrivals from all parts have been nntnerous beyond precedent, at. tracted, no doubt, by the previous favourable rates of freight, information of which was rapidly diffused through the aid of the Charleston steamer, and the telegraph. During a period of five days there were 69 arrivals from foreign ports—in two other days 29, and in the whole, in 14 days, 146. The influence upon business has hem sensibly felt, and freights have so far receded that many of the newly-arrived vessels have left in ballast, and the following rates are the highest that can be obtained, with a prospect of a decline : Cowes and a market .. £2 10s. Od. to £2 15s. Ocl. Baltic Mediterranean United States Exchange on London 7 per cent. premium, and some sales a trifle higher. New York, 4to 41 discount. These are lower than last quotations, the decline in freights having brought many buyers into the sugar market, whose bills thus quickly influence the rates of Exchange in a mar ket where there are few or no regular buyers. Sugars : White regular, 8 to 851:- ; ditto fine, 9 to 9} ; ditto extra qualities 91 to 10k and 11 ; brown and Cucurucho, 44 to ; yellow, 54 to 61-; do. extra, 7to 74. The actual ex portations of the week past, have been comparatively light ; hut the purchases have exceeded 35,M boxes, all of which are going now on shipboard. The demand for the medium qualities is most prevalent.—Coffee is dull at 71 to 81 with no prospect of recovering. About 400 bags went off the past week, 250 of which were for Boston.— Molasses--11 rials per keg, with regular demand. Advices from Honolulu to the 25th of January, have been received. The chief intelligence is the reception given by the King of the Sandwich Islands to the United States' Commissioner. Business at Honolulu was ex tremely dull with little prospect of improvement. NVe have news from Valparaiso to the 25th February. Much more activity had been witnessed in commercial circles during the moath, than for many months pre viously, but prices bad not risen. The Legislature of New Brunswick was open e d o n the 25► h ult. The governor announced that be was ready to introduce a responsible government into the colony, in a modified form, and also to surrender her Majesty's crown revenues when the Legislature shall have agreed to certain conditions. Bills for incorporating the Orange lodges of New Brunswick had been rejected by the legislature. A series of tragedies have marked the history of Socrrro, Texas, where the Mexican boundary commission of the United States have been recently sojourning. Binds of armed ruffians were overawing the quiet inhabitants, and robb'd and killed openly whomsoever they pleased. At length a large party of Americans and Mexicans arrived and seized eight or ten of the ringleaders, who were con demned to death by the judge within one hour, and they were immediately hung to a tree, and shortly ter buried beside the body of a man named Clarke, whom they had murdered. Some splendid specimens of gold had been discovered at Arkansas.

The term ute (farther particular. may be known o n a ppli • cation to t , JSCRISTA RT. G. DE B. ATTWOOD, Secretary CALIFORNIA We have advices from San Francisco to the sth ultimo by the steamer Georgia, .which reached New York on the 6th instant, in three days and 18 hours from . Havana. The Empire City arrived at New York on the morning of the .Bth, with 1,000,000 dollars in gold _dust. The former 'vessel reports the arrival at Panama of the Bo livia (British) and. Californian (American) with each 1,000,000 dollars of gold and silver. After an bun:tenet. number of ballotings by the Califor nian legislature, the election of an U.S. senator was post poned until the nest month. The conditiOn of tfie CaMfornia markets had not materially changed. The condition of the country is still highly prosperous. The draught continued, and apprehensions are entertained on account of it ; but the gold diggings had yielded handsomely. Some new diggings have been discovered, and, despite the dry season, the yield of gold has _been satisfactory. The steamer Santa Clara had been destroyed by fire at , San Francisco, and whilst the destructive element was raging flames were seen issuing from the steamer Hartford, which was also very much damaged. Two of the crew of the former vessel perished. Much excitement had prevailed at San Francisco, on account of the frequent occurrence of crimes, the inse curity of life and property, and the apparent inefficacy of the laws to secure the punishment of crime. One of the papers states that there had been, thus far, no instance of an execution for murder under the laws, although so many murders had taken place. Judge Lynch was therefore much inclined to take.up the business, particularly in the case of two Australians named Stuart and Wildred. A trial took place, but the jury were not agreed, and the pri ,- oners consequently escaped death for the time, and were remanded for trial before the District Court. At Sacramento City, a murderer was actually hung by the populace. An Englishman named Richard or Joseph Halfhead, formerly of Bedford Eng. and for about six weeks a resident of Bo -ton, Mass, as a machinist, was murdered in the mountains, Feb. 20th. Justice Sellers, formerly of Ohio. was fatally stabbed at Napa, by a man named Macauley, from Missouri, against whom the Justice had given a recent decision. Macaulev was arrested, and with difficulty escaped being hung on the nearest tree. We learn from the Panama Star of the 25th ult., that the three wretches who murdered two boat loads of pas sengers, afe v weeks since, on the Chagrcssriver, have been tried, found guilty, and NT ere to be shot about the sth of the present month. Also Wm. C. Hance, the cap tain of the bard of Chilians who robbed a specie train some months ago. About thirty houses were destroyed by fire March 23d, on the island of Taboga, opposite Panama, including the Taboga Hotel, the house and office of Messrs. Power and Rebello, and a store-house belonging to Messrs. Zacha risson, IsT?lson and Co. Loss estimated at 30,000 dollars. Dates from Shanghai, China, to Dec. 28th had been received at San Francisco, by the ship E. L. Frost, Capt. Rogers. She made the passage in 45 days, and brought a large cargo of teas, sugar, &c.

Bd., by the bye, below the price which our free-trade sages assured us would be the ruling average)—thus ad dresses the farming classes : " Taking everything into consideration, we may fairly con sider that the agricultural interest will now begin to see more clearly the advantages which it has derived, and the further prospective advantages which it will continue to derive, from the effects of the much-abused free trade. In the first place, in common with the rest of us, they have benefitted materially by the reduction o: the price of all the _other necessaries of life. Their attention has been keenly awakened to the neces sity of not only farming on a better principle, but of making fresh and more reasonable arrangements for the occupation of their land ; and last, but not least, the cheap price of their staple commodity (coupled with the extraordinary increase of occupation produced by free trade in the other branches or industry) has caused so large an increase of consiiinption, that, notwithstanding the imports from abroad, prices of grain - advancing, and now rule about five ner cent. above what they were nt 'the sane time last year. We think they must now find it extremely difficult to avoid coming to the conclu sion that, after all, it is not so bad as they expected; and should (as is probable) the still-inereaßiun cuatrill (Imams cause a moderate further natural rise in the price, we have no doubt but that, when their other advantages are more clearly appre ciated, the very title of Protectionist will sink into oblivion." The italics are our own ; and the whole paragraph is a gem, worthy of being put into a costly frame, and hung. up in the parlour of every farmer in the kingdom. We did intend to comment upon it ; but, on second conside ration, we shall only ask our contemporary the questions, —where he has discovered " the extraordinary increase of occupation produced by free trade in the other branches of industry" ; where he has learnt that " prices of grain are advancing" ; and where he has heard of any probability, which he seems to believe in, of " the still increasing demand causing a further probable natural rise in the price." By the bye, what does he mean by a natural rise in the price ? If be had talked about a rise to a ' ht ' natural price, we mig..L have understood him. It will take many of his " natural rises " to bring us to that great desideratum. LATEST INTELLIGENn pl. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

GRAND BAZAAR AND FLOWER SHOW, FOR TIIE BENEFIT OF THE 'SAILORS' HOME. This noble building, the foundation stone of which was laid by Prince Albeit in July, 1846, and in the objects of which his Royal Iliglinegs expressed himself to be deeply interested, has now been, for several months, so far com pleted as to he available for many of the uses for which it was - designed. The shipping-offices have been opened, and an effective staff organized. The reading-saloon has been fitted up, and proved a most popular resort for the seamen frequenting the port : the savings' bank is also in an active state of usefulness.

The fitting of the lower room will be equally tasteful. The walls of both are hung with paint ings and engravings. It is expected that the stalls in both rooms will be filled to profuseness with the most rechercM! articles. Nor wilt music be wanting to add its attractions to tke enlivening scene.

EMIGRANTS' HOME Liverpool, April 19t1), 1831 EXTENSIVE CAVERN IN MANCHESTER, VERMONT. — .4 large and singularly beautiful cave was discovered in Manchester on the 7th inst., by a party of young men engaged in a hunting excursion, and one of whom is the writer of this communication. The cave is situated upon the southern extremity of the Equinox mountain, about half way from the base to the summit: The individual who made the first discovery was in hot pursuit of a wounded partridge at the moment, and was precipitated without notice into the unseen entrance. On examining the passage into which one of their number was uncere moniously invited, the party found that it led, by a gra dual descent of about thirty feet, into a spacious apart ment, measuring thirty-six feet in length, twenty- seven feet in breadth; and thi r t een f ee t i n h e i g ht, a n d having a bottom as level, and almost as smooth as a door. From this room, a narrow passage; through which we made our way with great difficulty; and not without bruises, brought us into an apartment far exceeding the former, both in extent and magnificence. The most prominent objects which met our eyes in this second room were three colos sal pillars, twenty feet in height and sixteen feet in eir cumference, of spectral whiteness, and smooth as polished marble. In the third room we found co nsiderable qua. tities of iron and lead, together with a kind of ore resem bling silver. We pursued our way . about a qu ar t er of a mile, passing through no less amp lime apartments, until .we found ourselves upon the brink of a p rec i p i ce. On throwing down a large stone, a faint . splash Was retu rne d, after an interval of several secirds,strom which we infer red the existence of a pond of water at the bottom of the abyss. The exploration of the cavern has been pursued no further. The whole, as far as our examinations extended, and with the exception of the water jest men tioned, is perfectly dry.—Man.
