and the Government party were still skirmishing near Leon.
General Guacilla, of Honduras, had lately tendered his aid to
'the government, hoping that if the insurrection were put
down he would have the support of some of the forces of Grua-
tamala and Nicaragua in extinguishing the democrats in
Hondas.
WEST INDlES.—Advices from Kingston, Jamaica, are to
July 4th. The markets were very dull. In the other islands
the free trade with Canada question was much debated It
was said that the English Government would transfer St.
Lucia and Dominica to the French in exchange for the co-
lony of Chandernagore. The St. Lucia papers demand an im-
mediate annexation to some other rulers, on account of war
taxation.
CUBA.—Nothing new of a political character had occurred.
The public mind was entirely tranquil respecting filibuster
movements. Reinforcements of troops had arrived at Havana.
The health of the island was very good. Business of all kinds
dull, particularly for imports.
Valparaiso (Chili) advices are to May 31. Congress was to
meet on the Ist June. A national exhibition was to be held.
A long-pending drought prevailed. The markets were ex-
ceedingly dull. Freights to England £4 15s. to £5 ss. ,In
Peru the approaching meeting of the Constituent Assembly
engaged public attention. It was dreaded that a political
rupture would soon take place between Castilla and Elias.
Brazil and Paraguay had, as before reported, settled their
difficulties, and a treaty had been made which will define the
boundaries of the river navigation for the future.
Advices from New Granada to June 30th state that the
working of the new constitution was anxiously watched, and
the papers advocated the right of foreigners to a full partici-
pationof its benefits. Virgin Bay affairs were represented as
being in a most deplorable condition. In consequence of the
cholera and the dissensions in the country, the population of
Virgin Bay had been reduced from 'two hundred to twenty-
five. All the officials of the Transit Company had left, and
everything was in confusion.
SANDWICII ISLANDS.—The french frigate La Forte and the
English frigate Amphytrite arrived at Honolulu on the 10th
May, en roul'e for'the Russian settlements in Kamschatka.
The Legislature of Hawaii was in session, and had passed a
new tariff act.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, July 11.

The roomy market presented a more cheerful aspect than
had been noticed for some years past. Every branch of
business vas reduced to, and re-established upon, a safe and
permanent basis, and if undue speculation be avoided, the
country would soon be measurably out of debt. Money was
abundant on first-class securities at five to six per cent., and
on =good business paper at six to eight per cent. Loans on
call, with first-class securities, were readily obtained at four
to site per cent. In exchange a fair business was doing. We
•quote bills on London, 109 k to 11W- per cent. ' • Paris, 1.5,121
'
to f. 5, 15 ; Hamburg, 36 to 36i • Bremen, 79 to 79i.
COTTON.—Prices had declined owing to the unfavourable
accounts received by the America : but yesterday a reactionary
'movement ensued, and the decline of to 2 cent on the two
preceding days were nearly, if not quite, recovered. The
sales had been -light until yesterday, when the operations
were quite extensive, reaching nearly 5,000 bales. Probably
during the three days 7,000 bales had changed hands, mostly
for export. The accounts from the growing crops were
generally of-a more favourable character, and with dry warm
weather henceforth, it was believed the yield would be more
than an average one.

From Messrs. Talcott's circular, dated New York, July 10,
we extract the following :--=" The America's advices of the
22nd ultimo from Liverpool, came to hand by telegraph from
Halifax on the sth instant, notinc, sales of the week, 24,410
bales, at id decline. This unexpected' reaction caused a pause
in this market, followed by an anxiety to realise, and the
transactions which have taken place have been at a decline of
lc. to ie. on our last quotations. Yesterday and to-day the in-
quiry has been more general, and with less disposition to sell,
Purchases could not be made under 101 c. for "middling " Up-
lands, advance on the rates accepted on the 6th and 7th
instant. The decline from the highest point, thirty days
since, is 2to 2+ cents per pound. This rapid and important
decline has been produced by the sudden and unlooked for
pause in speculative operations at Liverpool, received at a
moment when the accounts of the growing crops were (as
'they generally are at this early stage of its growth) favourable.
There has been no change to authorise it in the data of supply
and consumption, on which the advance on cotton was based,
but, on the contrary, the anticipations of a material reduction
(even of the most moderate early estimates of receipts at the
ports,) the inciting cause, are being verified, and consumption
proceeds uncheckd. The decline in southern markets has
also been rapid. On the 21st ultimo, at New Orleans, middling
was quoted at 12c.: freight id., and at Mobile on the 16th
llid. ; freight 5-16 d.
BREADSTUFFS.—In flour the decline of 25c. to 50c., as
noticed in our last, has been fully recovered, the market 'los-
ing firm at the advance. A few small parcels of new Southern
wheat had been sold to the city millers. The receipts of Indian
corn, which were moderate, were readily taken on speculation
and for shipment to Great Britain.
PRovistorts.—The market for mess pork was 121 c. better,
and steady for prime. The demand has been light until yes-
terday, when a desire to buy for future delivery was mani-
fested. Beef continued firm, with a moderate inquiry for the
home trade. In prime mess beef and beef hams there was
nothing of moment doing, and prices were nominal. Bacon
was inactive, and prices were nominally 10c. to 104 c. for dry
salted. Lard was without quotable change, and the demand
continued moderate.

InoN.—The market for pig iron was inactive, but held
firmly, with sales of a few hundred Scotch at $29 50 to $3l,
six months. In bars there was nothing doing, last sale com-
mon English $57 50, six months. 130 tons scrap brought $3l
cash.

SALT.—SaIt was in good demand, although the arrivals had
been large the market had regained its firmness. The sales
were 6,660 sacks Ashton's Liverpool fine, mostly at $1 46;
1,958 ditto Marshall and Bromlow's, $1 272 and $1 221; 700
ditto Worthington's, $1 30; 2,000 ditto ground, which is
scarce and wanted, to arrive, 972 c.
COlL.—Liverpool Orrel was scarce and wanted. Hard was
in fair request at previous rates. Sales of 100 chaldrons Sid-
ney had been made from the cargo afloat at $5 50 cash.

FOREIGN MANUFACTURED GOODS.—The late arrivals had
replenished the warehouses of our importers with some choice
and desirable goods, suitable for the early trade, which must
soon begin ; and already some few buyers from our neigh-
bouring cities are in the market for novelties, but still sales
are quite light, and our importers are more busily engaged in
receiving and preparing stock for exhibition than in its dis-
tribution.

FREIGHTS.—The market generally was without change.
We quote :—To Liverpool : Corn, 31-d. to 41d. ; flour, ls. to,
is. 3d.; cotton, 7-32 d.; dead weight, 12s. 6d. to 15s. ; mea-
surement, 10s. to 12s. 6d. ; beef, tierces, ls. 6d. to ls. 9d. ;
pork, barrels, ls. To London : Rosin, is. 6d, ; turpentine,
is. 6d. ; dead weight, 14.5. to 17s. 6d. ; measurement, 16s. to
17s. 6d. ; beef, tierces, 2s. to 2s. 6d. ; pork, barrels, 2s.
/sTEvr ORLEANS, July 6.—Our cotton market has considerably
declined, all qualities being quoted fc. lower. The sales to day
were 2,500 bales, at 91-c. to 92-c. jor middling. The week's
business foots up 10,000 bales, with receipts during the same
period of 7,800 bales, against 6,800 bales for the corresponding
week last year. The receipts at this port are now 214,000 bales
short of the same date in 1854. Stock on hand, 44,000
bales. The sales of coffee during the past week have been
3,600 bags, at 102 c. for prime. The stock on band amounts
to 10,000 bags. Flour has declined to $7 62f.
