AMERICA. The Royal Mail steamer Canada, Captain Shan non, arrived here about eight o'clock last evening, with 109 passengers, 1,326,188 dols. in specie on freight. The news is four days later than that brought by the Atlantic. The following is an ample summary of the same : Our advices from Washington inform us that upon the return of Mr. Bowfin, the President would immediately take active measures for the settlement of the difficulty with New Granada. Commodore Vanderbilt and other parties are said to be strongly urging the administration to re-open the Nicaragua transit route. A letter is also said to have been addressed to the President, inquiring - whether he would sanction the fitting out of another expedition for the conquest of Central America by General 'Walker, but the President had not intimated his views on the subject. General Scott had been called to Washington by the President to perfect arrangements for the despatch of troops to Utah. It is the design of the administration to send out the new Territorial officers with the military force, thus ensuring their safety from attack while on the journey. The final orders for the guidance of the commander of the troops are in preparation. No attempt will be made to interfere with the religious or social in stitutions of the Mormons, but the United States laws will be rigidly enforced. Already the troops detached for Utah were in motion. lion. William B. Reed, U.S. Minister to China, partook of a public dinner on the 22nd nit , got up in his honour by his fellow citizens of Philadelphia. In response to a complimentary toast, Mr. Reed delivered a speech, in which he alluded at some length to the object of his embassy. The Kansas free State Legislature adjourned on the 13th ultimo. Acts were passed providing for taking thecensus, and appointing the first Monday in August for choosing State officers and Repre sentatives of Congress; also locating the seat of government at Topeka. The election ordered by the Territorial authorities took place on the 15th ultimo. • We have partial returns of the election for delegates to the Constitutional Convention of Kansas. As it is a one sided affair throughout, the result is unimportant, except so far as it ex hibits the strength or weakness of the opponents of the free State party in the Territory. It is believed that the vote will be a light one. A meeting was held in Columbus, Ohio, on the 18th ult., for the purpose of taking the matter of the recently discovered defalcation, in the office of state treasurer into eonsideratigit . Leaders of both the political parties wer.e ptesent, and each endea voured to throw the onus of the :defalcation on the shoulders of the other, and-the fact may be safely acknowledged that they both succeeded in their endeavour. Three of the mutineers of the brig Gen. Pierce, convicted of manslauehter in killing the captain and cook of that vessel, while on the voyage to the coast of Africa, were each sentenced to imprison ment for six years, and to pay a fine of 2,000 dols., at New York. This is equivalent to imprisonment for life, as the prisoners cannot pay the fine. Smith, convicted of the murder of the captain, has already been sentenced to be executed in August next. All the prisoners are Portuguese. A correspondent at St. Paul, Minnesota, writing on the Bth ult , gives some very interesting infor- Illation With respect to the condition and prospects of affairs in that Territory. Colonel Noble, of the Pacific Wagon Road Expedition, bad left for Fort Ridgley, where he would be ,j pined by Governor Medary, and thence march with an armed force to the Big Sioux river into the country of the hostile tribe of Incapadootah Indians, who lately corn ittlitted.such barbarous outrages. The new Super intendent of Indian Afftirs had not yet arrived, and the agents could not therefore pay the clamour ous crowd in their different districts. The troops from Fort Snelling ordered to Utah were to leave on the afternoon of the Bth ult. Improvements were being pushed forward with great vigour in St. Paul, and the prospects for industrious farmers and mechanics were good all over the Territory. Young men from the Eastern States having inflated hopes of success in trade were doomed to severe disappointment. We take the following paragraph from a New York paper of the 24th ult.:— We have ree-ived a copy of a long report made by Col. Lockridge to General Walker, detailing the operations of the seizure of the steamers and forts on the Sap Juan river by the Costa Ricans, an-I his efforts to recapluv them. By the showing of Colonel Lockridge, there was a most unmilitary carelessness in the parties having charge of the defence of that portion of the Transit route. He states that, when on his way down the river, he learned that the Costa Ricans were on their way to capture it ; that he saw one of the rafts opposite the mouth of the San C arlos, and th a t C apta i n Thompson, who guarded Hippsoint, was also awre of these tirs; ana he advied , Mr. Sc o tt of them, a and wanted h to g return d in th a t steamer s to reconnoitre the river, which was refused. He gives a short account of his operations on the river, and a long one of th e diffi cu l t i es caused by the interference of the English officers in the harbour of San Juan del N -rte. According to Colonel Lockridge's account, he had immense difficulties to encounter, and could not overcome them. The report is too long for us to publish in the very crowded state of our columns; besides which, all tl , e points which he developes have been covered by the full arlvices we have published from the scene of action while the events were passing. The recent rain storm has caused the destruction of much property in various localities in the State of New York. In the interior the streams were swollen to a serious extent. Travel on t h e E r i c Railroad was o b structed by the washing a emb ankments, but th e damage was soon rep way aire of d. A terrific, hail storm visited the city of Washing ten on Sunday afternoon, the 21st, and caused an immense destruction of the glass in skylights, conservatories, and windows. Trees were stripped of their foilage, and grain, vegetables, and shrub bery beaten to the earth. The storm was about twelve miles in breadth, and extended from the southwest to the northeast. Some of the hail stones were so large as to weigh from five to six ounces. It ie feared that the crops throughout its course Mexico ar e much injured if From not ent'rely rui !ler!. we have adv.

Santa Anna h as wr i tten a letter to his nephew, stating that he ardently desires to reform Mexico. The inhabitants of Vera Cruz expected a gay time, as it wa s th ought that an army of sixteen thousand Tien, commanded by President Ccmonfort, would encamp near it during the summer: An English fleet was expected off Vera Cruz in order to dencend explanations respecting the Forbes and Barron ease, already acted on by the National Congress. Santa Anna's manifesto was very generally derided. The weather was cool and pleasant. The city of Vera Cruz was healthy. News from Minititian to the 28th ult., has been received. A schooner had arrived there and claimed admittance under the rights and privileges con ceded to the Tehuantepec Company. The Mexi can auth or i t i es, however, flatly refused to recog nise these assumptions, and proceeded to enf orce he port and Custom House regulations as agai ns t the vessel.

The Spanish squadron intended for operations against Mexico was reported to be off the coast. Reinforcements of Spanish soldiers were received by every arrival. The British consul at Trinidad had been grossly insulted, with the view, it is said, of provoking him to a duel. COMMERCILL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, June 24. MONETARY AFFAIRS.—The Money Market is gradually hardening, though the supply of capital is abundant. The current rates are 8 to 9 and 10 per cent, on prime com mercial paper according to maturity We talc', the following from the Circular of Messrs. De Coppel and Co., dated this day :—" Since our last advices of loth inst., we have had a general decline in all the speculative stocks dealt in at the Stock Exchange. This falling off can only be att: ibu'ed to the lack of confidence in railroad shares, as the Money Market continues easy in spite of the heavy shipments of specie for the week. Stocks of a more permanent character have varied but little in price. Trade generally is spoken of as being exceed ingly dull in every branch. Money continues abundant on good securities, but lenders are timid, and scrutinise closely the character of cellatorals. We quote Money on call at 7, business paper 8 to 12, according to class and length. Exchange on London steady, at 109-?,-to 1091. COTTON : The business for the three days has been very moderate, but with no pressure to sell, the market has retained the buoyancy previously noticed, and to-day small sales were effected at a slight improvement —say one-eighth of a cent. on middiinge., under the influence of the Persia's favour able accounts, received early yesterday morning. The sales have averaged about 1,000 bales daily, and the market eras. buoyantly. We quote : THE NORTHERN TIMES---LIVERPOOL I TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1857. IMPE DIAL PARLIAMENT. (By Britig and Irish Magnetic Telegraph) HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY. The House met at five o'clock. The Earl of Mumzenuay drew attention to the case of Captain Ousely, of the Maria, which was taken by the Government of Venezuela as a slaver, but afterwards returned. The Charge d' Affairs at Carracas it appeared had taken notice of the circumstances of the case, but had made no report to.theForeign Office ;:and the noble Earl asked from the Foreign Minister an explanation of the farce. The Earl of CLARINDON said it was true that no report had been received from the- Charge d'Affairs, and he could give no official information therefore. The first notice which he received of the circumstance was from the persons aggrieved, and upon their information he had spoken with a commissioner, who called over here from Venezuela, and from whom he had a promise, that he would use his endeavours to secure redress. The Earl of CARDIGAN deprecating the use of steam vessels for the Transportation of troops, asked whether steam or sailing vessels were to be emplojed in carrying the troops to India. Lord PANMURE replied that sailing vessels would arrive in India as soon if not sooner that steam vesse's,, owing to the number of stoppages the latter would have to make for the purpose of coaling. The Earl of ELLZRBOROUGH corroborated the noble lords statement as to the superiority of vessels for the service. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved for the return of the number of officers belonging to, and employed in, the civil service of the East India Company, distinguishing those in the Covenanted, from those in the Uncovenanted Service, and in receipt of not less than £4OO a year ealary on the Ist January, 1856, and also employed in diplomatic, political, or other civil services on the Ist of January, 1846, and a similar return for the Ist of January, 1856. The motion W&4 agreed to after a brief discussion. The Dulwich College Bill, the Militia dot,. 1854, Amendment Bill, and the Oxford University Bill were read a third time and passed. The House adjourned at seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—MoNDaY.

CAM BRIDGE ELECTION. Mr. DEASY reported from the Cambridge Election Committee that the city member was duly elected ; that persons had received bribes, but not with the knowledge of the sitting member, and that the names of such persons and also of others who voted without being entitled had been struck off the poll.

Export.—decrease to Great Britain, 469,000; compared with 1853, 275,000 bales, Decrease to France, 101,000; compared with 1853, 38,000; decrease to other foreign ports, 104 000 ; increase compared with 1853, 52,000 bates. BnIZADSTUFFS.—In State and Western Flour there has been an increased business, in part for export to Spain, and with a reduced stock prices of the common and medium grades have advanced 10 to 20 cents. The home trade are burring freely of good fancies and extras, but the variations in the prices of these is not so great as on the low grades. The reeeip s are to a moderate extent, and it is doubtful whether there will he any accumulation of stock to speak of before the incoming of the new crop. The crop accounts are generally favourable, and from the increased breadth of ground under cultivation, there can be no doubt thar the yield of Wheat wil; be an average one. The Persia's news is regarded as rather favour-We than otherwise; Southern Flour has continued in moderate request, and the market for the common grades is 10 to 20 cents better. Fancies and extras are also dearer, but the advance is not proportionate with that and common qualities. Tire supply of Wheat continues light, and, with an increased inquiry, prices of the common qualities have advanced 2 to 3 cents. There is very little prime here, and prices are for the most part nominal. The demand is mainly for home use. though there has been something done for export since our last. Tie a , lvices by the Persia are rather favourable, but prices in Liverpool, London, and Glasgow are too low to warrant ship ments, notwithstanding the extreme low rates of freight. Corn has arrived freely, and prices have receded 2 to 3 cents, with only a limited business at the reduction ; sales closing at 84 to 85 cents for sound Western mixed, and 88 to 98 for Southern, as in quality. HOPS : The market is without now feature. Prime con tinue scarce, and wanted at fall prices, while other deecriptions remain plenty and dull. The sales are 200 bales choice, on speculation, supposed at. 11 cents, and 170 to 180 do., in lots, 9to 12 cash. The reports from the growing districts seem to concur in their statements relative to the poor appearance and backward state of the Vine. The price of Hops having been, dntiPg the past year, low and unremunerative, farmers have turned their attention more to other and better paying crops, generally neglecting their Hop yards, while some have ploughed them up, and used the land for other purposes. It is stated, and generally believed, that in no case can more than an aver,ge crop he made, while the probabilities seem to point to a yield below that of last year. IRON.—The market remains very quiet. Scotch Pig may be quoted in awh tlesale way, 30 dots to 31 dole. Small lots bring 31 dole 50e to 32 dole G_t meee In bars there is nothing doing. Two invoices Russia Sheet, just arrived, remain unsold. The Philadelphia North. American, of Saturday, says :—" Very little movement ; and the prices of Pig Metal rather favour the buyer. A sale of 500 tons Anthracite, No. 2, was made at 25 dols on time, and small lots from store, about previous quotations. In manufactured Iron there is not much doing. Buts are steady, and Rails are more inquired for, with the prospect of more activity after the Ist of July." PROVISIONS : The market for Pork opened more active, with an increased business, but subsequently a reaction took place, and prices receded about ten cents. The receipts are moderate, but in the absence of any export demand of moment for some time past, and only a limited home consumption, the stock is accumulating, and the market closes very flat. The sales are at 22 dole 80c to 22 dots 85c for Mess, 19 dole to 19 dels 10c foi Prime, 25 dole 50c to 25 dols 7.5 e for Clear, and 19 dols 75c to 20 dole for Prime Mess ; included in the sales, seller's option, between the 15th July and Ist October, at 23 dais; buyer's option, from now till let October, 23 dols 50c; and Prime, seller's option, thirty days, 18 dots 50c. The Beef Market remains steady, with a fair home trade demand There is nothing of moment doing in Beef Hams, but prices are unchanged ; sales 110 brie at 23 dots to 24 dole for good and extra. Becon is cc -tree, and wanted at full prices. Salted Middles would bring 11 c to 13-Ic, as in quality. Small pare is Smoked Wesfern Sides brought 12ic to 13ic. Cut Meats have declined one eighth of a cent, with only a limited business; sales, 285 birds, at 9tc for Shoulders, and 10;ic to Ilc for Hams. Lard is lower, and dull, the demand being wholly for the home trade. Butter is dull at 16c to 21c for Ohio, 17c to 22e for common to good State, and 23c to 25e felt favourite and choice State dairies. Cheese is dull at 5-le to 104-t.

Rio Da JANIMIO, Jane 4.—Generally the Brazils are healthy, with casual cases of yellow fever at Rio and Bahia. Pernambuco is reported quite free. At Rio coffee was advancing in price. Exchange rates were unaltered. The British steamer Celt arrived on the 11th. 13AntA, June 10.--Quotations in sugar are nominal. The stock, being mostly in second hands, is supposed will be difficult to purchase, even at a considerable advance in price. In cotton, no sales have been effected, and the prices are nominal. Coffee quotations nominal. Cocoa very brisk ; prices advancing. Rum firm. In exchange rates were unaltered. PERNAMBUCO, June 12.—Sugar advancing in price ; the arrivals by land and water continue to fall off. No altera tion in cotton. The receipts continue small. Exchange rates continue at 10 per cent., and money scarce out of doors at advance. MURDER on SUlClDE.—Yesterday the Coroner held an inquest on the body of George Isherwood, who, as we have before stated, was found under such peculiar eircum stanw,s, at an early hour on Sunday morning, in the canal. The jury who have to hold the investigation having been sworn, and viewed tha body, after some necessary deposi. tion3 were taken, the further inquiry was adjourned until this day, when, jw is expec ed some important_facts. wilt be elicited. IRISH FISIIERIM COMMISSION. On the motion of M. INl‘M . Attorr, a return was ordered of the evidence taken before the Irish Fishery Commission. IRISH PETTY SESSIONS CLERK. In answer to Sir G.Fo Kellett, Mr. H. HERBERr said it was the intention of the govern ment, in a few days, to bring in a bill for the purpose of paying petty sessions clerks in Ireland salaries in law offices. WIZ AUSTRALIAN MAILS. In reply to Mr. H. BERKELEY, Mr. WILSON said that the Oneida was not employed for the purpose of conveying the regular mail between England and Australia, but in crrrying on ordinary passenger mail, which any other vessel might have carried. The circumstances of the case were these : —The Oneida was one of the vessels offered by the European and Aus tralian Company for the purpose of carrying out the contract. She was surveyed by the government on the 18th of October last year, and she sailed on the 19th. The day after she sailed the surveyor reported to the Admiralty, a❑d the Admiralty reported to the Treasury on the 21st. It wag, therefore, not possible to detain her, but it was intimated to the company that she would not be accepted for the contract. THE SUPPLY OF GUANO. In reply to Mr. BAXTER, Sir CHARLES WOOD doubted the accuracy of the state ment that there was an available supply of guano upon Bird Island, in the Pacific, and stated that there was no information in the possession of the government that the United States had occupied the island. ELECTION PETITIONS. Mr. ADDERLEY, in consequence of a reply to a question given by the Attorney-General, postponed his bill on the subject of election petitions, which stood on the paper for that night, till the next sitting of the House. BRIBERY, &C., AT ELECTIONS. Lord PLLMERsTON moved, that in all cases when the seat of any member has been declared void by an Election Com mittee, on the grounds of bribery or treating, no motion fJr the issuing of a new writ shall be made without two days previous notice being given in the votes. Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE proposed that they should follow the wording of the resolution of the last Parliament, and moved the insertion of seven in the place of two days' notice. Mr. W. Mums and Mr. DIVETT supported the motion. Upon a division, there appeared— For the motion . Against it Majority The motion was accordingly agreed to. TIIE PROBATES BILL. On the motion for going into committee on the Probate and Letter of Administration Bill, Mr. Mum said he would not oppose the motion, on the understnading that the compensation would be granted to those who lost their offices by the Bill. Mr. HADFULD objected to any compensation being given to proctors, whose business would probably be improved by the passing of the bill. Some farther discussion having taken place, the House went into committee. Clause 1 was agreed to. On clause 2, Mr. COLLIER expressed an opinion that the Courts of Common Law should have power to try vexatious causes, which, with the assistance of a registrar, they would be welt able to, and he proposed an amendment to carry oat the object he had in view. The amendment was opposed by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on the ground that its effects would be to continue the confusion of jurisdictions, which it was the object of the bill to remedy. Mr. COLLIER consented to withdraw his amendment, and the clause was agreed to, as ware also clauses 3 and 4. On clause 5, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the omisson of the pro viso, with the view of rendering it optional for the judge of the Prerogative court to accept the judgship of the Court of Probate. Mr. AYRTON thought if the Judge of the Prerogative Court refused the Judgeship of the Court of Probate he should not be entitled to compensation. The proviso was struck out and the clause agreed to. On clause 9 Mr. ADAMS suggested that the Courts of Common Law and not the Court of Probate should have jurisdiction in admiralty causes. A brief discussion followed, but ultimately the clause was agreed to without any amendment. The clauses up to 33, inclusive, were agreed to, with some verbal amendment to clause 34. Mr. MALINS proposed an amendment, giving the appeal to the Judicial Committee of Privy Council, instead of to the House of Lords, as proposed by the bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL urged the committee to reject the amendment, and adopt the clause as it stood. He held out the hope that before long appellate jurisdiction would undergo great improvement. Upon a division, appeared For the amendment Against it Majority , The clause was then agreed to. The clauses to 39 inclusive were agreed to. On clause 40, Mr. \VEsrnKAD mwei the insertion of words, with a view to abolish the limit of personal property, under which etters of administration might be taken out in the district court. The amendment was opposed by the Attorney-General and Mr. Rolt, and supported by Mr. Henley and Mr. Roe buck. The committee divided. For the amendment, Against it, llerajority, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL looked upon the decision as fatal to the bill, and hoped the unfortunate vote of the House would be reversed on the report. Upon the question that the words proposed to be inserted stand part of the clause, another division took place, the numbers being, Ayes • Noes Majority The announcement of the result was receivedwith cheers The CuAmmar was then ordered to report progres , _, and the House resumed. The report of Supply was brought up, and agreed 1 0. The other business was disposed o f, end q , 'e house , adjourned at fo4y-ave minutes past ON, THE :GLASGOW POISONING CASE TRIAL OF MISS M.
