THE WAR IN ASIA.

A letter from Kars of the 27th ult. says :—" We are invested
almost exclusively by about 7,000 or 8,000 Russian cavalry ;
the infantry is still in camp near Commasoun and Zaim.
Generals Vassif Pasha and Williams have issued an order of
the day, couched in concise and very clear terms, and an-
nouncing that every spy will be hung and every deserter shot.
The shooting is meant for the Bashi-Bazouks, who have shown
some inclination to pass over to the enemy. As to the spies
the measure was absolutely necessary, for the slightest move-
ment on our part was at once made known to the Russians.
On the 21st a spy was taken, tried and condemned by court-
martial, and hung the next day. On the 22nd, four others
were taken and served in the same manner, and had we to
hang all the Persians and Georgians who are here, and who
are suspected by us, we should do so without compassion. If
on one side we have to mistrust certain people, on the other
we are greatly encouraged by the admirable conduct of our
chiefs, Vassif Pasha, General Williams, Colonel Lake, and
other officers. They display zeal, activity, and energy beyond
all praise, and if they succeed in saving Kars there can be no
reward too great for them. We have news for some days
past of the reinforcements that are to join us from Constanti-
nople and from the Crimea. We are greatly pleased at it,
but it must not be lost sight of that these reinforcements
must come furnished with supplies. Kars does not want an
increase of garrison, and if reinforcements are necessary it is
not to defend us, but to assume the offensive, and enable us
to attack the enemy in our turn."

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.

BY the British and North American royal mail steam-ship
Canada, Commodore Judkins, which arrived on Sunday, we
have intelligence from Boston to the 12th, and from New York
to the 13th instant. She brought 106 passengers, and $611,518
in specie.

The Canada was detained in the Channel about ten hours
through fog.
The Africa arrived at Boston on the 12th instant.
The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald
states that Mr. Buchanan, the United States Minister to Lon-
don, would not return home on the Ist October, certain com-
plications with reference to Central American affairs rendering
it necessary for him to prolong his term of service.
In the Navy Yard at Philadelphia, at present, there are em-
ployed over 1,100 men, which is the largest number known for
many years.
We have shocking news from Norfolk. In addition to the
yellow fever, which continued without abatement, the small-
pox had made its appearance, and on the Bth ten persons were
taken down with it. It is stated also that the fever is spread-
ing throughout the country adjoining Norfolk. The epidemic
in New Orleans is on the decline. Funds to the amount of
$86,000 had been received for the sufferers, and the children
left parentless were being removed to asylums. The noblest
heroism was being evinced by nurses, doctors, and clergymen,
many of whom had fallen victims to their humanity. In some
instances, however, robberies had been committed by persons
volunteering to nurse the afflicted.
A letter from Portsmouth, of the 7th, says :—" The fever is
still raging here with all the virulence and fatality of an
Eastern plague. Yesterday Dr. Kennedy went to the hospital.
Last night Dr. Walter, of Baltimore, sent for me. He has the
fever. You may say to his friends that he is doing well. This
day one week ago I breakfasted with nine physicians belonging
to our mess. We muster now but two. Some have left for
home, and others are in the agonies of death. Should I take
the"fever do me the favour not to permit any member of your
family to come here. I will be well cared for. At present I
am in good health, and think I shall weather the storm."
The Portsmouth Transcript, of the Bth, has the following :
" Few men are left. Every house is shut up. There is a crying
in the streets. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is
gone. In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smit-
ten with destruction. Such is not an inapt description
of Norfolk and Portsmouth. Since the last issue of this
paper on Friday, the 31st ult., the doings of death have
been ceaseless. Eight, yea! nine of the physicians, who nobly
came from abroad and entered the very jaws of death, have
had the fever, and seven of them are now at the naval hospital.
The fever continues as bad as ever. Indeed, the number of
deaths during the last week has exceeded that of any previous
week. More physicians have been written for to supply the
place of those sick, and to divide the labour, which is and has
been too arduous for the few engaged in the charitable work."
To give an idea of the extraordinary expenses now being in-
curred by the remaining citizens of Norfolk, a correspondent
mentions that a gentleman was compelled to pay $l5O for a
metallic coffin for his deceased daughter. A common spectacle
in the streets was a cart laden with coffins, which are deposited
at some convenient street corner, and removed thence by the
undertakers as occasion demands. Three or four of these
coffins often stand together. The dead are immediately taken
out of the houses and placed upon_ the sidesalksd, a sari of
of the victim, being nailed upon the lid of each coffin. A
duplicate of this parchment record is preserved. The bodies
of the dead are conveyed away by carts which traverse the
streets at stated intervals. There are three places of burial.
The houses of the citizens who have fled, are, it is believed,
pretty generally respected. Few cases of theft and burglaries
are reported. Individual cases are recorded, in which the
circumstances of the victims were peculiarly harrowing. In
one instance, two young ladies died in the same house, within
a short time of each other. Both were thrust into one coffin
and buried. One family, consisting of a father, mother,
children, and servant, all died ; the servant (a negro) clinging
to her mistress to the last. This fidelity of the negroes is not
the least noticeable feature. It is difficult—nearly impos-
sible—to separate servants and mistresses. Forbidden to
enter the sick chamber, the blacks will creep into concealed
places, hide beneath the beds, crouch in corners, employ
every artifice, to remain in attendance upon the mistress.
Left to themselves, the negroes are abject, refuse to take
remedies, and die rapidly. Their last wish often is that they
may be buried near their mistresses. A considerable amount
of valuable property is frequently left in the hands of the
physicians. This is always confided to the care of the Sani-
tary Committee."
CALIFORNIA..—The Empire City and Northern Light had
arrived at New York with a total amount of $1,983,061. The
Panama Railway was in excellent condition. The mining
reports were satisfactory.
A terrible massacre of some of the inhabitants of Ranche-
ria, Amador county, had been perpetrated by a party of
Mexicans and Chilenos. Five persons were murdered. Three
Mexicans, who gave their names respectively as Petervine,
Trancoline, and Jose, were found guilty of murder in the above
case, and after half an hour's time being allowed to prepare
themselves, were hanged on one tree. While the trial was
being conducted, the outraged community turned out en masse
and burned every Spanish house in the place. After the three
were hanged, the citizens of Rancheria passed a resolution
that no Mexican should hereafter reside at the above place.
Several other Mexicans were " lynched " in other counties.
In one instance the condemned said hkwas in the power of
the Americans, and knew he had to die, and wished to have
his face washed and his hair combed, which was granted. He
then said he would like to have a priest to confess himself ;
this being refused he called for a brandy-punch, which was
given to him. The crowd becoming impatient, called for his
hanging, which was immediately done. The Mexican was
" run up" and held there for a short time, then lowered, when

revived and asked for brandy and water, and said he would
like to talk, but it was of no use, as the people would not be-
lieve anything he said, and he wished they would kill him
outright, or bring some of his friends. He then proceeded to
make a statement, denying his guilt. The crowd, who could
not hear half that was said, again became impatient, and
cried out, " run him up," which was immediately done. It
was very doubtful whether he was really guilty. Collisions
had occurred between the Mexicans and Americans, in one of
which a sheriff was killed and several Mexicans. The British
fleet had sailed for Valparaiso and the China Seas. Before they
left, a meeting of the members of the Pacific Club was called
for the purpose of taking a vote on the question whether they
would or would not give the officers of the Allied fleet a ball.
The debate was a stormy one, and the meeting finally broke
up in a very excited state at two o'clock in the morning, and
the ball was not given. A public ball was, however, got up,
but the French Admiral declined to attend.
Her Majesty's screw-steamer Brisk had arrived at San
Francisco from Vancouver's Island. It will be remembered
that after the evacuation of Petropaulowski, in April last,
the Brisk and several others of the Allied fleet were ordered
to cruise in that vicinity and in the neighbourhood of the
Aleutian Islands, to watch the movements of the enemy, and
to pick up every Russian vessel that might chance to be
cruising in those waters. The Brisk visited Petropaulowski,
and found there a Russian merchant vessel which had been
abandoned by the crew. The vessel was fired and destroyed.
On several occasions the Brisk was close to the Russian
settlements on the Aleutian Islands, but was unable to effect
a landing in consequence of the thick fogs which prevail at
this season in that vicinity.
The Aspinwall Courier, speaking of the New Grenada
Canal, says :—" Mr. D. H. Gillett, the superintendent of the
work recently commenced for the re-opening and rebuilding
the New Grenada Canal, from the Bay of Carthagena
to Calamar, is progressing admirably. Mr. G. found the
grass so overgrown and matted across the canal, for miles
upon miles, that the natives were in the habit of crossing
the river upon it—in some instances over a depth of thirty
feet of water. For a considerable number of miles Mr. G. has
cleared this grass out entirely. The diplomatic preliminaries
of the company have been fully completed, and they are now
in unrestricted possession of the work and the trade it yields,
or can be made to yield, during the time of their contract."
Advices from San Juan state that Colonel Kinney had com-
pleted the purchase, for $500,000, of Messrs. Shepherd and
Haley's rights in the lands granted them by the Mosquito
Government in 1839, so that he possessed this fertile tract, as
reported, in addition to his 1,700,000 acres in Chontales.
Advices from Niftragua state that, on the 28th ult.,
Colonel Walker landed at San Juan del Sud, with a small
party, whereupon the natives, with the exception of the cap-
taM of the port and a few others, immediately evacuated the
place, taking their mules with them. They were, however,
induced to return, and assist the California passengers in
their transit across the Isthmus. A bloody battle was fought
on the 19th, between the Castillon party, under Munos and
Alvarez, and a body of 'Charmorro's adherents, under Guar-
diola. As regards numbers the armies were nearly equally
matched, the former comprising 900 and the latter 800 men.
The battle lasted seven hours, and about 500 were killed on
both sides. Guardiola was badly beaten, and fled to the
mountains, while Munos was reported among the slain.

Colonel Walker was menaced by a strong force of the Char -
morro party, posted at Rivas, only fifteen miles from San
Juan. His position was liable to attack as soon as the know-
ledge of his landing reached Boska, the commander at Rivas.
Colonel Kinney's affairs appeared to be in a highly prosperous
condition. He was very popular at Greytown, and his com-
missioner to the supreme government had received marked
attentions from the President.

The advices from Havana are to the Ist September. The
first steamer of the new line from Liverpool arrived on the
28th.

A letter from Havana, in a New York paper, says :—" The
old Cunard steamer Europa has been purchased by a Spanish
company to form one of a line which is to run between Mar-
seilles, Genoa, and other ports in the Mediteranean and this
port, and hence to New York. As some especial privileges
(such as the remission of tonnage dues) will probably be ex-
tended to this line, it will prove a formidable competitor to
the steamships now running between New York and this
port."

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, 11th Sept.
The demand for money continued active, but rates of interest
remained the same. In the bank statement for the week end-
ing the Bth, there were no important changes. In exchange
there was an appearance of greater firmness, but buyers did
not come forward at the rates demanded. Bills on London, at
60 days, could have been sold at 1091, and bankers at 1091,
but 1091 were asked for the former and 1098 to 110 for the
latter. France, f.5.11i to f. 5.131.
COTTON.—There was very little doing, and prices may be
quoted lc. lower. Holders did not wish to offer their stocks
freely at the reduced price. The sales were estimated at 3,500
bales.

The following is a statement of receipts, exports, and stocks
of cotton made up to the 31st ult. from the principal ports :
Exports to Total Exports Stock in
Receipts. Gt. Britain. to For. Ports. Hand.
1855 2,830,012 1,549,607 132,142
1854 2,900,287 1,604,047 108,870
Increase .... 23,272
Decrease 79,275 54,240
BREADSTITFFS.—Prior to the. advances received by the
Atlantic to the 25th ult., the flour market continued in a
depressed state. These advices, however, caused an imme-
diate advance of 25c. per barrel on the common and medium
qualities, and has been followed by a further improvement of
121 c. to 25c. per barrel, with which our quotations are uni-
form. Wheat was 10c. to 15c. per bushel higher, the transac-
tions, as before, being almost exclusively in southern descrip-
tions. Indian corn had advanced 3c. to 4c. per bushel on the
Atlantic's news.

PROVISIONS.—Pork was firmer; the sales were 2,400 brls.
at $22,311 to $22,371 for mess ; $20,50 for prime, and $19,50
for Western prime mess. Butter and cheese were unchanged.
FREIGIITS were firm at the following quotations :—To
Liverpool—Cotton, per lb., 3-16 d. to 7-32 d. ; flour, per barrel,
2s. to 2s. 6d. ; rosin, ditto, 25.; heavy goods, cheese, &c., per
ton, 20s. to 305.; grain, per bushel, sd. to 51d. To London—
Tobacco, per tierce, 65.; flour, per barrel, 2s. 6d.; rosin and
turpentine, per 2801b5., 2s. ; heavy goods, oil, &c., 20s. 6d. to
30s. ; grain, per bushel, 7d. to Bd.
NEW ORLEANS, SEPT. 6.—No change. Sales, 1,500 bales.
Receipts of new to date, 31,000 bales. Market quiet. Another
despatch of the 6th, quotes " good middling, inc. ; freight to
Liverpool, id." Sept. 7.—No change. Sales yesterday, 2,500
bales.

SAN FRANCISCO, AUG. 18.—Few steamer days that have
occurred since the disastrous times of last spring have proved
as " tight" as the present, and the complaint seems general
throughout town in regard to the stringency of funds. Nor
does the stagnation alluded to only characterise the market
for provisions, groceries, &c., flour and grain also have exhibited
great and universal dulness, the first-named evidently
receding from day to day, while grain of all descriptions shows
some slight signs of firmness over transactions making for the
past few days.

[BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.]
NEW YORK, SEPT. 13.—Flour has advanced ; an advance
has also taken place in wheat. Corn has slightly declined.
Cotton easier; sales to-day 1,000.
Freights at New Orleans, of cotton to Liverpool 15-18 d. (?)
Dates from Mexico, 2nd. Affairs unsettled. General De
la Slave has taken possession of Vera Cruz, refusing allegiance
to the Provisional Government. Alvarez has not yet reached
the capital.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

INDIA.

AN overland mail has arrived, with dates from Calcutta to
the 9th and Bombay to the 13th of August. The only news of
importance relates to the insurrection of the Santhals. On
this subject a letter from Calcutta of the 9th ult. states :
The Sanehal rebellion languishes ; the insurgents are with-
drawing to their fastnesses, making occasional raids in small
parties upon villages far away from the places in which the
troops are located, and they are reported to be building stock-
ades in the jungles north of the More River, behind which they
have retreated. The hill tribes—for the Santhals are low-
landers, dwelling on the spurs of the Rajmahal chain of the
Vindhyan mountains—have not joined in the outbreak, and
are said to be determined not to permit the rebels to take
refuge in their country. If this be correct, the reduction of
the Santhals will become a far easier task than was an-
ticipated.
The army which is to take the field against the Santhals
has not been detailed, but as all officers on leave, and several
on staff employ, belonging to the 7th, Bth, 13th, 31st, 40th,
42nd, 50th, 56th, and 03rd Native Infantry, have been ordered
to join, there can be no doubt that all these corps are to be
employed. The 11th Regiment of Irregular Cavalry and a
considerable amount of Artillery are also gone, or going, to
the scene of theinsurrection. At the commencement of the
outbreak a telegraphic message was sent to Madras for troops,
and the reply received was that there were none to spare:
Some persons are of opinion that Russian agency and gold have
originated the rebellion ; but this I doubt, though possibly
some agent of the Czar may have been at work to incite the
disfontAnt a 1-
n tne-euvPrtand Calcutta Englishman we read that a
letter from Raneegunge, dated 24th of July, says :
About 500 troops arrived by Saturday's train at Ranee-
, gunge, under command of Major Hampton, partly of the 30th
and 50th Bombay Native Infantry ; 100 were despatched
yesterday to Taldangah.
On Saturday last the rebels were opposed at Katna (a village
four toss north of Nuggur) by the Ghautwall of Kaloo Roy.
The latter's son being cut down, the Ghautwall fled. The
Nuggur Rajah had a company of sepoys from Soorey to
defend his palace, and it is to be hoped they will be able
to keep them in check, otherwise there will be nothing to
prevent them making a march on the Raneegunge station.
Troops are to be despatched from here with every hope of
falling in with the rebels. One hundred and fifty men of the
56th Bombay Native Infantry, under command of Captain
Halliday, started for Bancoorah, to protect that place.
All the railway works about here are stopped. The rail-
way people have assembled together at the station for security.
Should the rebels be checked in their course westward, they
will very probably turn to the east again, and, coming down
the Kyrasole jungle, sack and burn all the railway bungalows
in that vicinity.
News has just come in that the troops had fallen in with the
rebels at Nuggur, and that upwards of 300 were killed, be-
sides a number wounded and taken prisoners.
The Bombay Overland Times of Aug. 23 remarks :
We know as little now as we did a fortnight since of the
causes which led to the insurrection, or the catastrophe to
which it may yet lead. The insurgents in the field are said to
amount to 30,000 ; bands of them of from 500 to 2,000 strong
are overrunning the country to the south-eastward, spreading
terror and desolation before and around them. Two hundred
villages are already said to have been destroyed by them, and
several great towns been brought into danger. Wherever
they have come in contact with the regular troops they have,
of course, been dispersed with much slaughter, and they are
not anywhere in a position to offer effective resistance to the
most moderate-sized detachments. So soon as we have a suffi-
cient force in the field, they will be hunted down or driven
back to their fastnesses, but the mischief they are at present
occasioning is as lamentable as their appearance in the field
was unexpected.

WEST INDIES.—The Thames arrived at Southampton on
• Wednesday, with the usual mails and 81,867,444 in specie.
The Jamaica legislature was still prorogued. Fever was very
prevalent, and the weather was intensely hot. Business was
dull. At British Guiana the weather was very hot. The
canes were thriving luxuriantly, and planters were beginning
to get busy with the operation of cutting their crops. At
Grenada a want of labour for the cane cultivation still conti-
nued, but hopes were entertained that the £7,000 loan which
had been granted by parliament for the introduction of coolie
immigrants would help to assist in the procuring of hands for
the getting in the crops. There had been some sickness at
Grenada, but no epidemics. The weather was variable, but
not unfavourable to agriculture. At Antigua a want of labour
was felt. The weather, which for some time was dry, had
changed, and a great quantity of rain had fallen. Barbadoes
and the other northern islands had been visited by a hurricane
of unusual severity, and a severe shock of an earthquake was
felt at Trinidad. Mr. W. J. Emerson, her Majesty's British
consul, died at St. Thomas on the 30th ult., from lock-jaw,
caused by an injury to his knee, in being thrown out of his
gig. No cases of yellow fever are reported at Barbadoes since
the hurricane. The electric telegraph, which connects the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans along the Panama line of railroad,
was opened on the 12th of August. At Peru General Castilla
had been promoted from the rank of General of Brigade to
General of Division. At Bolivia the Presidential elections
had terminated in favour of General Cordoba, son-in-law of
General Belzu, the actual president. A commissary for the
army, named Lianas, was convicted by a court-martial of plun-
dering the nation of $14,000, and condemned to lose his rank
and be imprisoned for a certain number of years. President
Belzu disapproved the sentence, and ordered him to be shot
within twenty-four hours. The nuns from the convents and
all the religious orders, with their images, relics, &c., pro-
ceeded to Belzu, and asked for a commutation of the sentence ;
but the President would not listen to them, and the culprit
was shot. At Chili grain and flour continued in increasing
demand, which assisted in keeping up high rates. Some
failures had occurred, but they had caused no great alarm.
AUSTRALIA.—We have intelligence from Melbourne to the
28th June. Serious collisions had taken place between the
Irish, at the Maryborough diggings, and the miners. The
" Tips," as the former are called, attempted! to take the law
into their own hands relative to "jumping" claims, but the
miners rose en masse to the number of 3,000, and obliged
them to conform to law and usage. The miners are known as
" The Allies," in contradistinction to the " Tips. Military
and police were sent to preserve the peace in the district. A
mutual protection society had been formed with the sanction
of the government. At the Ballarat diggings the Irish also
placed themselves in opposition to the English, Scotch, and
American miners, and scenes similar to those at Maryborough
occurred. At Maryborough a " Tip " who rashly presented
his gun at a body of 2,000 of the " Allies " was fired at twice
and slightly wounded. A monster nugget, weighing 1,000
ounces, and valued at £4,800 was found at the Maryborough
diggings. The population of the colony was stated to be
304,160. The Melbourne labour market was very dull, and
no prospect of a better demand existed. A 4thip captain had ,
been fined £962 for bringing an excess of one hundred and 1
two Chinese passengers Into port. General Sir B. Nicol,
commander of the forces, was dead. The American ship
Whistler was lost on the King's Head rocks, in June last.
Flour had advanced in price. 'The tobacco market was firm.
Ironmongery very .dull.
