ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMERS WASHLNG-

TON AND AMERICA.

(A telegraphic summary of the following appeared
in our edition on Saturday.)
On Saturday morning the United States Mail
Steam-ship Washington, Captain Floyd, arrived off
Cowes on her way to Bremen. She left New York
on the 31st of January. Amongst her cargo is specie
to the value of 1,0001. for Bremen, 33,000/. for
Havre, and 20,0001. for England.
The New York papers brought by her contain
several days' later news from California, Oregon, and
Nicaragua, but it is more voluminous than interest-
ing. Tho New Turk Herald says :
There is nothing of uarsual interest in all this intelli-
glace, if we except the accounts of the very friendly meet-
ing of the American and British vessels of war at Sin Juan,
the ease of the late outrage of the British brig of war
Eames' against the American flag. The acts and seta-
rity of Mr. James Green, of Oxeytown, in behalf of the
King of Mosquito, are disavowed, as also the insult span
the Prometheus, and we are intimated that the British
cabinet will make it all right. The rainy season had set in
all over California, doing considerable damage to property,
sad it is very likely that the neat intelligence upon this
subject will be still more disastrous, if we are to judge
from the heavy snows along the Atlartic seaboard.
The business and financial interests of California continue
prosperous, and without any material change. The
intelli-
genee from the Sandwich Wands is of an encouraging cha-
racter to the friends of the Bimini kingdom. The reports
of an invading expedition from the western shores of
America are all dissipated. The islands will continue to
advance with rapid strides hereafter. They may hereafter
belong to us ; but for the present they arc better as they
are, and sea half.way depot for our steamers to China,
Japan, &e., &e., &e. Our advice. from liavannah are ten
days later. There is no news of political or commercial im-
portance. Quietness prevails is all parts of Cuba.
In the mining districts several new discoveries of
gold and auriferous quartz are announced. The ac-
counts include also the usual large number of mur-
ders, dreadful accidents, &c. On the trial of Cap-
' tain Waterman for assaulting a number of seamen on
board the ship Challenge, the jury could not agree
upon a verdict and were discharged. Being put
on trial on a second indictment, ho was found guilty.
The Indian difficulties are quelled for the present,
but fears are entertained of a further outbreak.
Koesuth was still at Pittsburgh and continued to
receive addressee from nearly all classes. He had
not however succeeded in removing the indifference
or opposition of the Homan catholics, who disavow
' him because they believe that he has made common
cause with the European socialists and red repub-
limas.

" Though Kossuth," rya their mouthpiece, a certain
Bishop O'Connor " disavows their principle*, and though
we believe him sateen, yet he has, nevertheless, professed
a community of interest with them, and they have hailed
him as their brother in Marseilles and London. Besides
idend himself with socialists, Kossuth has stooped to
grearantsnt of England to • degree which
amemmily aiiismaed na. The sods are not yet green over
the bogiesof MOM than • million of victims of British policy.
The haggard osustenanees of other millions are cr)ing to
heaven against that government, on whose course the Life
or death of the nation hangs."

The following is from a New York correspondent :
NEW YORK, JAM. 31.
The complaints lately entered by certain captains
and merchants of Liverpool against the pilots of the
Mersey, but more particularly against the pilot sys-
tem there in force, has excited considerable attention
here. The charges made appear to have been hardly
sustained by such witnesses as were called; but the
importance of a well regulated and thoroughly effi-
cient pilot system cannot be overrated. Our own,
though admitting of free competition amidst those
seafaring men whose qualifications arc duly accre-
dited by a commere.el board, is yet subject to the
most serious inconveniences. Incompetent men,
shirking a good portion of the required examination
by moans of certificates, force their way
into the service, and, by their ill-manage-
ment, engender a distrustfulness on the part of
captains said merchants, many of whom will not
accept any pilots but those accredited by the Cham-
ber of Commerce. Thus you see, the master of a ship
has the option of taking on board whom he will; and
this power has never been, and cannot be, contested.
Free competition, however, has this advantage, that
a yawl ready to enter is never delayed long for
proffer of service. Nor is the chance of incept-
