AMERICA.

The British and North American Royal Mail
steamer Cambria, Capt. Stone, arrived at Liverpool
yesterday morning, with the usual mails, and 157,000
dollars silver in specie. The Cambria left Boston on
the 9th, and arrived at Halifax early on the morn-
ing of the 11th, whence she took her departure at
4.20 a.m. She brought 89 cabin passengers, besides
80 soldiers, rank and tile, with 25 of their wives and
32 children. The United States steamer Hermann,
from Southampton, arrived at New York on the 7th
inst., and the Royal Mail steamer America at Hali-
fax at noon on the Bth. The Cambria encountered
several gigantic icebergs on the 14th, in lat. 49,
long. 14. •
The democratic nominations have taken place at
last. The Hon. Franklin Pierce, of New Hampshire
has been fixed upon. General Pierce distinguished
himself in the Mexican war.
The candidate for the vice-presidency is Wm. E.
King, of Alabama, and who has been long in Con-
gress, formerly minister of France, and is now Pre-
sident of the United States Senate.

The decision in favour of General l'earce seems to
have surprised few persons more than himself.
There is some prospect that Congress will get
ready to adjourn in about seven weeks. The House
of Representatives, on the 7th, approved of a resolu-
tion proposing to adjourn on the 16th of August.
Alboni, the celebrated songstress, had arrived out
at New York in the Humboldt.
A resolution, offered by Alderman Oakley, tender-
' ing the hospitality of the city of New York to -T. E.
I Meagher, was unanimously adopted by both boards
of the common council. The resolution sympthised
with the people of Ireland in the wrongs inflicted on
them by the British government, and estimated the
eloquence and devotion of its patriot son to the cause
of freedom. The board cordially tendered to Mr.
Meagher a public reception—the hospitalities of the
city—and offered for his use the governor's room.
The lath was the dayrecommended for the reception.
Mr. Meagher had been invited to a public reception
at Baltimore, but had for the present declined.
Kossuth arrived in New York at half-past four
o'olock on the afteruojn of the 7th, from Albany.
He was visited in the course of the evening by Go-
vernor Wood, of Ohio, and some other gentlemen
staying at the Irving-house. But there appeared to
be an absence of all fuss or pomp, and everything
was quite different from his first appearance here.
There is no more notice taken of him now than of

any private man.
Accounts from the West show that the cholera is
quite rapidly extending its area. Many persons hnv.:
recently died from this malady in several of the
towns and on the steamers navigating the Mississippi.
It also prevails to a considerable extent in connec-
tion with other diseases on the prairies.
Mr. Clay's health remains much as before.
The main points of the Mexican news were given
by last steamer, but we annex some interesting
details from the Southern papers :-- The application
of A.G. Sloo for the right of way acres the Isthmus
of Tehuantepec, passed by the Mexican House of
Representatives by a vote of 60 to 20, asks an ex-
clusive right of way across the Isthmus for forty
years, with a grant of a league of land on either side
of the road. He binds himself, in one year, to build
a plank road across the Isthmus, and as soon as the
travel will justify it, a railroad. Mexico to receive
for forty years two-flfths of the receipts of the route,
and at the expiration of that time, the road is to
revert to Mexico, who is to pay the grantee, or
his heirs, two-fifths of the receipts for forty years.
The other features of the grant, in relation to transit,
duties, &c., are similar to those in the Gamy grant.
Both parties to the grant are to be represented in the
management of the company.
On the 7th of May the revenue officers in Vera
Crus commenced seizing the goods of merchants who
had refused to enter them under the tariff rates of
the existing law.
The money train, of 1,708,265 dohs., spent two
weeks in travelling 260 miles, from the capital to
Vera Cruz. _

In answer to certain interrogations from the
Chamber of Deputies, it appears that President
Arista and three member4of the cabinet are in favour
of lowering the tariff on foreign importation., and
abolishing those duties which amount to a prohibi-
tion of importations. One member of the cabinet is
opposed to the measures. The Chamber of Deputies
has persisted, by a majority of forty-five votes, in
recommending the lowering of the tariff' ten per cent.
and the abolition of prohibition duties.
An extract of a letter dated Guayaquil, May 2,
says:

The expeilition of General Flom has not yet achievid
anything of importance.
His vessels still lie inactive at Para, about 40 miles be-
low this city. His force is variously estimated at from 600
to 1,200 men.
In Guayaquil there are between 3,000 and 4,000 troops
readto °poor* him. Flores' men are the best fighters
andhave the best officers, but the chances are decidedly
against him. His friends say that he is expecting re-
cruits from Pars, as well as a company of Americans from
Panama. . . . . .

In the meantime eighty of his troops have deserted, and
mane in two days ago. The government offers 100 dols.
and a farm to each deserter. The city is full of zealous
people, and tile greatest unanimity prevails.
COMMERCIAL. _

NEViiiii,IIC;WITAT NIGHT, JVHE 7.
There was a good demand for United States stocks and
other leading securities to day, and prices were well sus-
tained. The transactions in other descriptions were limited,
although the market had an upward tendency.
In foreign exchange the operations were to moderate ex-
tent London, 110 to 1101; Paris, 5 dole. 161 c. to
dols. 171 c. ; Amsterdam, 401 to 41; Hamburg, 361 to 361 ;
Bremen, 79 to 794; Frankfort, 401 to 401.
We hear of no change in the rates for money. The
heavy shipments of specie from this port last week attract
some attention in financial circles, but are not deemed of suf-
ficient importance to impart firmness to the market. The
demand is light, and, u long as this is the case, the rates
cannot materially advance.
Comore.—On Saturday 1,200 bales were sold on the basis
of quotations advised per Humboldt and Great Britain.
This morning (Monday) we were early in receipt of Liver-
pool advice. of 25th ult., per Hermann, two days later than
the market reports per Asia. Holders generally on their
receipt advanced their asking rates la, but buyers await
confirmation of the improvement advised per America,
pearl/ dna. Sales light. We have advanced too rapidly
on thea side, and the margin consequently against the
shipper is very heavy. Uplands to clue fair in Liverpool,
cannot be bought under 101 c., which at present freight and
exchange would cut 6d. sold, worth at last dates 51d. The
markets on this side must either decline to the parity of
Liverpool, so as to admit of shipments, or drag on sustained
by the abundance of money and consequent firmness of
holders unto Liverpool advances. Much disappointment
has been felt that so large a quantity has been disposed of at
so trifling an improvement, allowing the trade to get
largely into stock without advance in price. At New Or-
leans on the sth, middling was 61c.; good ditto, 10c. ;
freight, Id. At Charleston, same date, Charleston fair was
10e. Both markets dull.
