LATER FROM AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA.
By the arrival at Liverpool, at ono o'clock yester-
day afternoon, of the Royal Mail steamship Europa,
Captain Loft, we have received New York letters
and papers to the 30th ult. inclusive, on which day,
at noon, the Europa sailed, with 121 passengers and
404,000 dollars in specie on freight.
The Royal Mail steamer Africa was passed within
six hears' sail of New York, and on the 7th inst. the
Europa the Asia steamer, of the same line,
and on the morning of the 10th the screw steam-
ship City of Glasgow.
By this arrival wo have two weeks' later intelli-
gence from California, than previously received in
England. We have also a few days' later dates
from the Isthmus of Panama and from the Sandwich
Islands.

13yadespatch from Washington, we learn that the
Hon. Henry Clay expired in that city shortly after
eleven o'clock in the forenoon of the 29th ult. Most
of the New York papers of the 30th appear in deep
mourning, and the telegraphic accounts front Phila-
delphia, Rochester, Albany, Harrisburg, Pittsburg,
Baltimore, Buffalo, and a number of other important
towns and cities, announce the prevalence of a gene-
ral gloom on receipt of the intelligence; which, how-
ever, had for some time past been expected. Flags
were flying at half-mast in all the harbours and pub-
lic places, and in some of the towns the stored were
closed and the courts adjourned from respect to the
memory of the dressed statesman. The funeral was
to take place at Washington on the let of July. The
New York Merin sad Enquirer says :
We learn that all sawn of misundentandiag or missy-
=sibetween . Clay and Crittesi, arising
bels:ruled..., were most happily and sags-
Isolorily squad two weeks ago. Mr. Clagealesession
pintito make this memmumemsat to his sad ex-

General Scott, the newly elected Whig nominee
for the office of President, having been reported to be
a Roman Catholic, the New York Trilogies stated
that unless the gassed immediately answered the
question, whether he belonged to that church or not,
it would mated* sabot the chances of his election,
General Scott's Mende_ published the following pas-
, sage from a former &toleration of the candidate for
the Presidency :
I sin happy to se* by the Philadelphia National American
that religion is to be essluded as • party element.
frXskprotestant as I am, both by birth and emaciation,
ilever consent to a petty or state religion. Reli-
gion Is too sacred a thing to be mingled up with either. It
should always be kept between each individual and his God,
except ia the way of reams and gentle persuasions as in
fsmilies, .Lurches, and other occasions of voluntary atten-
dance after years of discretion, or meiproeal mast.
The decision in the ease of Thomas Koine, claimed
by the British government under the extradition
treaty on a charge of having attempted the life of
Mr. Balk, a farmer in Westmeath, Ireland, was
looked forward to with great anxiety. Large rot"
of persons assembled in the vicinity of the United
States Courts on Monday morning, and from the
symptoms that appeared the authorities deemed it
prudent not to bring the prisoner from the Tombs,
lest violence might be attempted. At a late hour the
decision was rendered by the commissiener, without
the preeenee of the Gamed, and his extradition now
remains for the istilleatien of the seerstry of state.

From Mexico city we have advice@ to the Bth,
and Vera Cruz, to the 12th of June. The papers are
tilled with rumours of an intended coup crane by
President Arista, for the purpose of assuming
despotic power. The British minister is said to have
departed for London, owing to serious misunder-1
standing with the President. Congress adjourned
on the 21st of May. There is no confirmation of the
signing of Colonel Sloe's Tehuantepec contract. The
merchants of Vera Crux had, by a decree, been per-
mitted to re-export their goods brought from foretgn•
ports, from the let of December to the 20th of May,

on Which the duties have not been paid. A de-
tention against direct contributions had taken
at Mazatlan. A meeting of the holders of
for tho home debt had taken plata The holders
or the national securities intended to protest against
the new law regulating public credit. The citizens
of Vera Cruz had by a kind of prostunciamento com-
pelled the authorities to allow the importation of
3,000 barrels of flour at a moderate duty. Other
towns had made a similar movement. _ _ _

The statement that the independence' of San Juan
de Nicaragua has been acknowledged by the British
government is contradicted by the Notional latelli-
'nicer, which says :
If we are correctly informed, the basis of a convention
lately agreed upon here between our Secretary of State and
the minister of England, and sent out by commissiooen for
the decision of the government of Nicaragua end Costa
Elea, did not embrace the independence of the important
port of San Juan ; on the contrary, we have understood
that basis proposed to concede the city of San Juan to the
exclusive possession of Nicaragua, she paying to the
Mosquito Inciars a stipulated sum for the relinquishment
of their title.

Thos. Rodney Cowan, Esq., having been appointed
by her Britannic Majesty, vice-eousul at Chagres
and Navy Bay, has received his eregnator from the
government of New Grenada, and is now in the dis-
charge of the responsible duties attaching to his
office. Mr. Cowan acts as agent for the Royal West
India Packet Company at the above-named places-
. _ _

Gen. Anotonio Morales, the commandante of the
Isthmus of Panama, died in Panama, June 7, after a
lingering illness, at the ago of eighty years.
Information has been received at Panama convey-
ing the intelligence that the I'cruvian steam cor-
vette &mac, General Dente, had arrived from Callao,
at Guayaquil, and that after a consultation with
Flores, the General returned to Callao, to make ar-
rangements to come back again immediately with a
stronger force, to assist General Flores in his present
invasion.

It was further stated that General Flores will com-
mence hie attack on Guayaquil as soon as the neces-
sary assistance arrives from Peru, and from what we
can learn, we shall soon have some very exciting
intelligence in reference to this long pending affair.
The opinion is that Flores, assisted by Peru, will
have little difficulty in making an easy conquest of
Ecuador.

The California news by the Crescent City furnishes
some interesting items, of which the principal is the
arrival of 2,500,000 dela. in gold. A largo public
meeting of the San Francisco merchants has been held
in that city to protest against the tax upon consigned
goods as imposed by tho Revenue laws. Stringent
resolutions were passed in opposition to their enact-
ment, and for the protection of shippers of mer-
chandise in the Atlantic States. The conduct of
certain Frenchmen in Sonora, Mexico, to a party of
Americans in that state, has excited some ill-feeling
in California, but it is probable the difficulty will be
settled without further disturbance. The usual
chapter of crimes and casualties is reported by this
arrival.
The mining intelligence continues to be very
favourable. A litter says:
A gelid lump of gold, weighing sixty-nine ounces,
four diets. and six grains, has been dug up in the main
street of Sonora, by a party of miners. It is of an irregular
shape, about the sire of the palm of a man's hand, and is
solid gold. The market value of gold dust has been offered
and refused for it. The claim from which the above pieces
were taken is in the very heart of Sonora, on a lot which
fronts upon the main street. In all the gulches around
Sonora the miners are still actively engaged in sluice-
wadiing. Those who have persevered alike through good
and bad luck have generally been successful. One party of
four men, with two small sluices, have been taking out from
12 to 18 ounces per day. The miners now do not confine
their operations to the beds of creeks or gulches, but cut
into the banks and hill-sides, and into flats beyond all pre-
cedent. Woods' Creek probably &Mad' employment to a
greater number of miners than any stream in our country.
The British ship Sir C. Napier, Captain Webster,
had arrived at San Francisco, 90 days from Panama,
with 18 cabin passengers and 156 steerage. When
out one week front Panama, the measles, dysentery,
and fever began to show themselves, and continued
with more or less virulence for about three weeks, in
which time no less than thirty-six were consigned
to the deep. A succession of calms, common near
the equator, no doubt caused this great mortality, as
the heat at that time was most excessive. Although
the passage was ninety days from port to port, there
were not thirty of thorn on which there was wind
enough to keep her sails full. All appearance of
disease left the vessel some weeks previous to her
arrival in port.
Another rich quartz vein has been discovered in
French Gulch, the work from which is said to yield
20c. the pound. The Shasta Courier says that it the
working of these quartz leads should be properly
superintended, handsome fortunes will be realised
from them in a short time.

During a single day the Cold Run and Merrimuk
Qartz Mill crushed 15 tone of rocks, from which
they took out 114 ounces of amalgam, worth about
1,000 dole., or 04; dots. per ton. This was exclusive
of what remained in the mortars.

The Slate Creek Company, consisting of six men,
have been for some time past engaged in working a
alnico about half a mile from Rough and Ready.
They realised 400 dole., 673 dole., and 2,030 dole.,
on three successive days of the last week.
Gold-bearing quartz has been discoved in Queen
Charlotte's Island, and a number of men are now en•
gaged in working the mines in that country.

NEW YORK, Jose 30.
A large amount of business was transacted at the Stock
Exchange this morning, and all descriptions were buoyant.
The influx of gold from California is so great compared with
the exports, that capitalists are now seeking investments in
something beyond merely speculative stocks. United States
bonds and State securities are scares at our quotations, con-
sequently the attention of monied men is drawn to oar rail-
road bonds and mortgages, of which large sales are made.
The demand for foreign exchange has been to a fair ex-
tent during the week, without any alteration in rates. We
quote London, 110} to no} ; Pula, 5.16 f to 6.16; Amster-
dam, 40j to 41; Hamburgh, 36j to 36} ; Berman, 78j to
791 Frankfort, 40} to 40}.
BREADSTUFP..—F or a week put • very quiet feeling has
prevailed in tho market for breadstuff*, and influenced by
continued unfavourable &deices from the English markets
and somewhat heavy receipts for the season by the Erie
Canal, the market has declined 12} cents per barrel on the
shipping qualities since my report per Ales on the 16th
instant. The late reduction in both freights and flour has
had but little influence on the export trade; which is quite
limited. For home use and the local wants, the demand is'
study without being active, but priers in many cases are I
irregular, owing to the condition of the article and the
anxiety of holders to realise on a dull market. For wheat,
good shipping lots, (which an not plenty) are still wanted
asßaglish freights are obtainable, and holden are some-1
what firm without much change in prices.
Corms.—The advice, per Atlantic front Liverpool were
more unfavourable than were generally anticipated, and
prices fell off here }o. to 0. per lb. Holders, however, are
not willing to ell at any great extent at that reduction,
and the market is unsettled. The bulk of the crop of
1851 has now gone forward, consequently but little altera-
tion in rates can be looked for. In the present state of the
market the following quotations may be considered nomi-
nal. The sales of the last three days amounts to 3,000
bales.
