ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.

(By scscrsac TILSOWLPH.)

(11.0 X OVA own CUR/LIAPONDENT.)
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MOININO.
This morning, at half-pest three o'clock, the
British and North American royal steam-ship
Canada, Capt. J. Stone, arrived in the Mersey from
Biston and Halifax, having left the former port at
noon on the 24th ult., and, after a short detention at
Halifax, sailed thence for Europe early on the morn-
ing of thu 26th, with fifty-four passengers and
47,000 dollars in specie on freight, besides the usual
mails from the United States, Canada, Newfound-
land, Nova Scotia, &c.
The Royal Mail steam-ship America, with the mails
from hence, arrived out at Boston on the same day
the Canada left that port.
There is no news of particular interest by this ar-
rival, and business generally remained in very much
the same state throughout America as when the
Africa left New York.

By a later arrival from Cuba we learn that the
United States steamship Crescent City, having on
board the obnoxious Smith, the purser, had been
allowed to enter the port of Havannuh ; but Smith
was not permitted to go ashore, and an intimation
was given by the Cuban authorities that the vessel
would not again be admitted into the port with
Smith on baud. To this renewed attempt on the
part of the governor of Cuba to coerce thu owners of
the steamers into a dismissal of their officer, thu cap-
tain replied that the purser would undoubtedly be
retained on board, that the Crescent City would come
again to Havannah, and that, if then molested, the
Spanish government would be held liable.
A subscription had been got up in New York to
indemnify Lemon, the owner of the eight slaves who
were recently liberated in that city, by order of the
New York judges. The slaves were brought to New
York, en route to Texas, and this decision, declaring
them free, and not under the operation of the Fugi-
tive Slave Law, is hailed with great delight by the
abolitionists.

Government stocks were in brisk demand, an
prices buoyant.
Since the departure of the Africa the money market
at New York had been very easy; money was plen-
tiful, and could be obtained at very moderate rates.
The general trade of the country was reported to
be in a very satisfactory condition.
Thu market for Breadstuffs was rather quiet, and
not many transactions were reported, holders wait-
ing for further advice, from England. Prices were
quoted as follows : Western Canal dour, 5 dole. 25c.
to 3 dole. 371 c., steady ; Gennessee prime wheat,
doL 22c. to 1 doL 24c. ; Indian Corn, round yel-
low, 88c. to 90c. per bushel, and steady.
The New York cotton market had been very ac-
tive, and prices had again slightly receded for most
descriptions. The sales had been very limited, and
the following are the closing quotations : New Orleans
and Mobile, mid. fair to fair, 111 e. to 12c. per lb.,
showing a fell of tire-eighths of a cent.; Uplands
mid fair to fair, 103 e. to 10c. per lb., showing a fall of
IC. ; the freight of cotton to Liverpool was Zd. to
7-16 d. per lb.
The provision market was active, and prices had
advanced for most descriptions.
Shipowners were asking increased prices of freight.
the following being the quotations : Grain to Liver-
pool, 80. to 9L per bushel; flour, 2s. Bd. to 2s. Bd.
per barrel.
Exchange on London was quoted 110 to 110 t,
with a moderate demand for bills; on Paris, 5.15,
inquiry inactive; Hamburgh, 381 to 38;; Bremen,
791 to 80.
