ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.
(11101 001 Llllll2OOl COZZZIPOIIDIIIT4
(IT 111=10 TELIO/1111
The British and North America Royal Mail steam-
ship Goads, Stone commander, arrived at Liverpool
oa Sunday morning at half-pga ten, with 34 pas-
sw 320,000 dollarsdollarsin specie on freight, and one
week's news than that previously brought by
the Africa.
The Canada left Boston at noon on the 13th lost.,
and Halifax early on the morning of the 16th. On
the latter day she peened the Royal Mail steamer
Avarice, from Liverpool, going into Halifax; and
on the 29ad, the United States steamer Pacific, on
her voyage to New York.
On the 11th inst. the United States Mail stem-
ship Franklin, with the mails from Southemptils.l
arnved oat at New York.
The Canada brings also later advises fans Oall-1
Arnie, by telegraph cid New Orleans. Two Wiliam
'of gold were on their way to New Yak hum
,tbe golden state ; and the reports from the mines me
of a very satisfactory character. Business was in
gassed satisfactory, and the markets reassign
stead. Considerable excitement prevailed in
fendsy against the Chinese, frequent murders oil
whom, especially by the Indians, were daily occur-
ring. Nevertheless the Celestials were in great re.l
goat by the other settlers for occupations requiring
the lindest application of labour.
The cholera was still rife at Ban Francisco, and
bad extended its in Sacramento. That tre-1
rhhereurge, the pm, 'ins reported to be doing
its devastating mairag the Indians at No.
rods. The Mires& haw Sessemento city to the
Telma River was emesmed oaths 13th 'September,
and the permiary amagements hr carrying into
eillset the project a emit eenwerting the northern
mimes INN steadily peelpeaship.

per mimes is die ressif Übe Superior had bow

were previously worked.
By letters limn Lower (or Mexican) California, we
learn that the sovereignty of Mexico in that state is
ant nominal; that the country is far from settled I
sad that the general feeling of tho inhabitants is is
favour of annexation to the United States.
Advice' from Texas state that two or three resent
skirmishes had taken plate with the Indians mar
Rio Grande ; the hostilities between he tithe
Mexicans and the Americans were se deadly se over.
Many atrocities and several murders had lea perpe-
trated on both sides.
The newly-elected President of the Republio of
New Granada had woe gulden opinions from the in-
habitants his course of policy.
A • agent had been sent to Havana, by the
United States government, charged to inquire into

the treatment of the United
were arrested on board the
demand explanations from
—resign authorities in reference to the seizure
and opentag of the mail bags, and also the complaints
respecting the steamer Crescent City. The latter
vessel, in charge of Purser Smith, with mails only,
had sailed again from New Orleans, for Havana.
Indignation meetings were to be called in other
cities. The excitement was very great on the sub-
ject. A letter from Cuba, published in the New
Orleans papers, states that the most bitter feelings
of hatred exist between the Creoles and Spaniards,
and that many acts of ferocity were daily perpetrated
between the two races.
The miscellaneous news by the Canada is interest-
ing rather than important. The presidential contest
was proceeding most fiercely. Great meetings of the
whig party, friends of General Scott, had been held
in many of the principal cities of the union ; but
statements had been put forth, professedly by disin-
terested parties, giving the greatest prospect of sue-
MI to General Pierce, the democratic candidate.
It is undisputed that, in the southern and western
states, Pierce is more popular than his competitor,
although the latter, whose health is stated to be far
from good, was daily improving his position in the
canvass.
' Mr. Secretary Webster had sufficiently recovered
from his late indisposition to be able to exercise a
supervising care over the business of his department.
From Upper Canada our letters inform us that
moat active efforts were being made to induce the
government to abandon their avowed intention of re-
turning to the system of differential duties. It was
urged by the Board of Trade that the imposition of
less duties on goods imported by the Gulf and ;liver
St. Lawrence than on articles brought by other routes
would prove highly prejudicial to the interests of the
province.
An application made by the Bishop of Toronto to
the House of Assembly for a grant of public money
to establish separate schools bad been rejected.
Operations in gold hunting had been renewed both
by Canadians and Americans on the River Du Loup,
mar the Chaudiere, and the success was far better
than any previous effort, owing to improved ma-
chinery. With an improved system and organisa-
tion, it is thought that the collection in that locality
ma 7 be made highly profitable.
Some very important improvements in the mechan-
ism of telegraphs, by means of self-adjustment, have
been successfully introduced by a Mr. Titsombe, of
New Orleans. Tho movement commenced by the
state of Maine, making telegraph companies liable for
errors in despatches, was taken up in New York and
some other states of the union. By the act passed in
the legislature of Maine any error in transmission or
writing out, or any unreuonabledelay in forwarding
or delivery was punishable, and officers, clerks, and
agents were held equally responsible.
Madame Sontag arrived at Philadelphia on the
12th, and was escorted to her hotel by the German
Musical Societies. Catherine Hayes was to leave
Iranistan, where she had been on a visit to the
family of Mr. Barnum, on the 20th instant, for San
Froncisco. The nuptials of Miss Barnum were to
take place on the day previous to the " Swan of
Erin's " departure. Miss Hayes would be accom-
panied by Herr Meanie and Signor Herold.
Tho charge of embezzlement against Mr. G. W.
Bowen, cashier to Brown, Brothers, and Co., and
against Mr. D. A. Comstock, share broker, of New
York, as receiver, was further investigated on the
13th, when the accused were again liberated on per-
sonal security. Mr. Bowen's deficiency is about
250,000 dollars, but it is believed that the criminal
part of the charge will be abandoned.
Meetings of British subjects resident in New York
and in Boston, took place on the 6th, ea the intention
was announced by last mail. The proceedings were
conducted at the respective consulates, and were illll
honour of the memory of the Duke of Wellington.
The houses of the consuls were placed in mourning
for fourteen days, and every testimony of patriotic
feeling towards the illustrious deceased was mani-
fested on the occasion. _ _

When the last despatches by this steamer left New
York business at that place was brisk, and the
money market easier. The stock market, also, was
firm, which it had not been for some time prior, and
when the previous steamer, the Africa, sailed great
dullness prevailed, amounting to a panic, in the
fancy stocks. Now, however, a much better state
of affairs is reported, both in the government and
local securities. Exchange on London was quoted
at 1103 to 1103, with a moderate amount of busi-
ness doing; bills on Paris, at bf. 13c.; Hamburg,
3433 to 36j; and Bremen, 79 to 793. There was
little if soy alteration in the rates of height when
the Canada left Boston.
The market for Breadstuff' was quiet, and very
little alteration is reported in quotations. Western
Canal flour being
.steady at 4 dole. 371 e. to 4 dela.
60e. ; Gene see prime wheat, at 1 del. Bc. to 1 dol.
10c. per 801 U.; and round yellow Indian coin steady
at 72c. to 74c. per busheL the exportations of specie
continued to be very brie; but supplies of the pre-
cious metals were arriving not only from the gold
regions. but hom other parts of the Union, to meet
the demand for shipment at New York. Although
the late crisis on the stock market bad passed away,
it was admitted by the leading capitalists that more
labour must be applied to the department of manu-
factures, and less capital devoted to distant sources of
speculation and employment, before that stability
could be hoped for which can withstand the storm of
periodical revulsion. The market for provisions was
moderately brisk, and prices were without material
change. In the cotton market at New York, very
little was doing, but as holders were not anxious to
press sales, former quotations were maintained, New
Orleans and Mobile, mid. fair to fair being quoted,
Me. to 1140. ; and Uplands, mid. fair to fair, at 101

" From the heights of Bcechey Island the route to the

paratlvely mild, and frequently windy, two conditioim alike
hostile to the formation of ice. The icebergs which we met
with in Lancaster Strait and Baffin's Bay proved by their
unusual thickness that nunerous inlets have this summer
thrown off blocks of ice which have adhered to them toe
years. Everything, then, seems to promise brilliant sue.

in the English navy for energy and ability. If you 11esirs
it, Monsieur le Ministre, I shall have the honour to address
you a more detailed account of our expedition as soon to I
shall have bad time to arrange my notes, taken amidst ;a-
ccssant occupation. Mr. Kennedy was pleased in his dee-
patch to the Admiralty, which has been re-produced by the
English press, to describe in the most fluttering terms:lm
part which I took in this expedition in tire name of
our naval service. It is impossible fur me not to recotaise
in that description the same kindly feeling which guided
him throughout the voyage, and the example of which
animated the officers and crew of the l'rince Albert in their
conduct towards me. May Ihe permitted, M. le Ministre,
to call your attention to this fact. I should have easily
gotten that I was the first and only representative M the
French nation in an arctic winter,but fur the continued aura.

Franklin end the Lords of the Admiralty, will ever render

answered your expectations, and worthily maintained by my
conduct the honour of the French navy. '
