ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.
About half an hour alter midnight on Saturday
night the British and North American royal mail
steam-ship Canada, Captain Lang, arrived at Liver-
pool tram Boston and Halifax, with New York letters
and papers to the 23th of May inclusive, being three
days later than those brought to Southampton on
Saturday morning by the Washington.
By this arrival we have advices from Boston to the
26th ult., on whieh day, at 1.15 p.m., the Canada left
that port, and from Kalifax to the 28th ult. On the
27th she passed the Cambria boned to Boston.
The Canada brings upwards of seventy passengers,
specie to the value of 193,000 dollars, and the mails
from the United States and British America, in
the charge of Lieutenant Grant Raymond, ILN.,
Admiralty Agent.
The United States mail steam-ship Humboldt,
with the mails from Southampton and Havre, arrived
out at New York on Sunday, the 23rd May; and on
the same day the screw steam-ship City of Manches-
ter, from Liverpool, with 347 passengers, arrived at
Philadelphia Wharf.
Her Majesty's ketch Nutley and troopship Resist-
ance were lying in Halifax harbour. When the
Canada left, the Distance was to convey the 42nd
regiment to England, and was expected to sail on the
29th ult.

The contract propellers Levantine and Osprey had
been appoiutcd to convey the Cambria's mails to
Bermuda and Newfoundland.

The Senate had been engaged with closed doors
in debating some new treaties with the Indian tribes.
Mr. Hall, the senator from New Hampshire, had
brought forward a motion relative to tho expenses of
capturing and remanding fugitive slaves, but it was
quietly defeated. With a single exception, all the
candidates for the presidency declare themselves in
favour of the maintenance of the Fugitive Slave Law.
A letter from Washington states that President
Fillmore will not enforce the strict observance of the
Tehuantepec treaty by Mexico, but that, in accord-
ance with the suggestions of President Arista, nego-
tiations will be entered into for a right of way
across the isthmus.

On the 22nd and 24th ult. the House of Repre-
sentatives was outraged in the discussion of measures
for the suppression of Indian hostilities in the
various federal dependencies. It was agreed that
arms and ammunition should be placed at the die-
poul of the inhabitants of New Mexico, Oregon,
Texas, and California; but some members suggested
that it would be a far better plan to station a suffi-
cient number of properly equipped dragoons in those
countries, not only to keep the Indians under subjec-
tion, but also to compel the hordes of white despera-
does to obey the laws. It was also said that the
Indians are not by any means the only savages who
'murder and plunder the natives.
Two Mexicans were recently arrested at Browns-
' villa (Texas), suspected of being connected with the
ruthless bands infesting that locality. They bad
curiously-made bullet-proof °oats, made of cowhide
and wool, and supposed to be used by them while
engaged in marauding purposes. These cortsetswere
composed of an inner and outer coat of hide, filled
with wool, an inch and a quarter in thickness, and
elaborately stitched with thongs. When worn they
formed a complete panoply for the body, and were
impervious to a pistol shot if not to a rifle.
The Governor of Boston has disbanded the Rox-
burgh Light-truards for refusing to turn out as a
part of the military escort to Kossuth on the day of
his reception in Boston. Only 1,500 dollars were
raised for Kossuth in Albany.
The Dutch frigate Prince of Orange was in New
York harbour, after •cruise of three years : she was
to sail for Holland on the 26th.

A portion of a regularly macadamised road was
discovered recently mar Fairmount, Virginia, by the
washing away of a hill-side. The road is about six-
teen feet wide, runs along the bank of the river, and
the stone is broken to about the size used in the
formation of modern roads. In the bed of the road

was found the stump of a chestnut tree, at least 150
years old, giving evidence of the existence of a popu-
lation there at some former age of the world.
The 71-ibune of the 25th May says :
Several lumps of gold were discovered in a ravine in the
village of Mineral Point (Wisconsin) on Saturday, the tat
inst.' worth from 2 dole. to 4 dole. On the Monday follow-
ing, half the town turned out to search for the " hidden
treasure," and in a short time found a " lead," containing
gold, silver, and diamonds, and before noon 200 dole. worth
of these precious metals were taken from the earth.

Madam e Goldschmidt (Jenny Lind) gave her
farewell concert at Castle Garden on the evening of
the 24th ult. Seven thousand persons were as
quietly seated as though only seven hundred. The
concert was as successful as the warmest wishes of
her friends could have desired, and her reception
supremely triumphant.
