ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.

Yesterday, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the Bri-
tish and North American Royal Mail Steam-ship
Canada, Captain Lang, arrived in the Mersey from
Boston and Halifax, having left the former port at
noon on the 23rd ult., and Halifax on the 2.lth. By
this arrival we are in possession of direct adviees from
New York to the 22nd ult., and per telegraph to
Halifax to the 21th. She had on board 72 passen-
gem and 1,44,000 dolt. in specie.
The royal mail steam-ship America arrived out at
Halifax on the 22nd ult., at 011 p.m.
The United States steam-ship Pacific arsived at
New York on Monday night, July 21. about nine
o'clock. On the 17th, when the was eight days out,
she broke a part of one of her engines, which ren-
dered it nmessarrto stop and disconnect the two,
causing u delay of three hours. The rest of the pas-
sage was doue with a single engine.
fhe steamship Crescent City arrived at New
York on Sunday morning, July 20, with 1-13 pas-
sengers, and over a million dollars in gold dust.
The steam-ship Cherokee, from New Orleans, via
Havana, arrived at New York about eight o'clock
on the evening of the 21st ult. She brought dates
from Havana to the 17th.

The intelligence by the Canada is not generally
important the chief item being the report of an
insurrection in Cuba, which, however, some accounts
sae is exaggerated. The report is, that there has
been a conflict between five and six hundred of the
people of that place and the troops, in which the
latter were defeated. Troops were sent to disperse
them, but they were repulsed with the less of their
commander, and the loss of twenty-eight killed and
wounded. The insurgents had retired to the moun-
tains and fortified themselves. Other towns followed
the lead, and it is said that in a few days the whole
eastern part of the island will be in a state of revo-
lution. The government have been sending troops
to Matanzas the past week, but it seems they did
not tall there, as something more urgent pressed
them eastward. The Havana papers say little on
the subject; and it is understood the government are
doing all in their power to prevent the true state of
things becoming known.
The yellow fever is making havoc among the troops
recently arrived in Cuba from Spain.
The cholera is prevailing to a considerable extent'
in several of the western states of the Union. A
number of fatal caws have occurred in various towns
of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Ohio; and the
pestilence appears to be spreading with alarming'
rapidity.
The city of New York was visited on the night of
Saturday, the 21st ult., with a very severe thunder-
storm, which did considentlie damage. Many deaths
from sun-stroke are recorded in the papers.
The intellificioer contains an official no-
tification from the Mexican government that it is
prepared to receive proposals from contractors for
the construction of a railroad from the port of Vera
enra to the capital, and thence to some port on the
• Pacific, the road to be commenced within two years
and finished within fifteen. Contractors will have
the exclusive privilege of the road for fifty years.
Proposals will be received until the 20th September
next. One of the conditions is that the contractor
shall take that pert of the railway already con-
stracted from Vera Cruz to the Moline, which em-
braces nn extent of three leagues.
A banquet was given on the 21st ult. to Dr.
Hughes, lit. Archbiship of New York, in celebra-
tion of his return from Europe. Nearly 200 of the
principal Roman catholies of New York were present
at the Astor House on the occasion. The first toast,
as at the eutertaiument in Liverpool to the saute per-
sonage, was the health of the Pope. The Hon.
Daniel Webster. Secretary of State, proposed as a
is " Religious toleration and charity."fhe fes-
tivities were kept up till an early hour in the
morning.
Another fugitive slave case had recently occurred.
A negro named Daniel Hawkins was arrested at
. Lancaster, and, on being taken before the United
States commissioner, was ordered to be sent buck to

his owner in Maryland. Gnat excitement existed,
but HO Violence W 11.% offered in oppusition to the kw.

NEW YORK, Jett 22.
The Empire City arrived at this port yesterday from
Chaim... with the regular mails and over one million of
gold dust on freight, a large amount in possession of
the passengers. It was reported at Cliagres that the Ilritish
government was about to hi kale that port in order to ob-
tain indemnity for the claims of wine English merchant,
that remain unliquidated. Robberies are still very frequent
oil the idhnins, particularly at a point of the way known as
the Slime Btirlge.
A barque ha, arrived at Philadelphia, with dates from
Em Janeiro to the 11th of June. The captain reports that
tic commander of the British steamship Cormorant had
blown up the tow-boat SATAiI, On suspicion of her having
furnished supplies to a rho nee said to be engaged in the
slave trade. The Sarah belonged to Messrs. Hobbs and

Als ungs, American ship chandlers at ltio, who are highly
indignant at the high-handed outrage of the British com-
mander. Here is another fine opportunity for damages and
negotiations.
A letter from 'lurk'. Island, dated July 1, says:—The
British government are about to erect a lighthouse at the
north point of this island, ou the reef where the brig Ed-
ward Henry, front tro.too, struck, June 11, with a total
to sof vessel and a partial loss of cargo. The British brig
Jenny Lind struck July 11. on the some point. On the
Edward lenry's earl& a salvage of 60 percent. was allowed.
The arrival and continuance in this port fur some days of
the Spanish steamer Pizarro, being her third visit, have
attracted some attention, and excited a littie curiosity. It
is now pretty well ascertained that she brought important
despatches for the Spanish minister, and that her com-
mander was instructed to obtain all the intnrination in his
Cuba.
'this with regard to the rumours of a fresh invasion of
This morning we are in possession of a semi-official an-
nouncement in the Notional harelliyencer, that another ex-
pedition is on foot, and we know here that most of the Ilan.
garian refugees who have come here lately have gone to the
southward down the roast, and under such circumstances
as to induce us to believe that their services have been ols-
tairsed for this very expedition. The arrival of the Cherokee
lest night from New Orleans by the war of the Havana, puts
as in possession of dates from the latter place to the 17th,
and they art very important. It can no longer be con-
cealed that at Puerto Principe there has been a diM.
catty between the Creoles and the troops. The cause
was the withdrawal of the corporate powers of
the city, the dismissal of .tvunianiente by the governor.
general. This was considered as a high-handed act of
tyrauny, and a disturbance took place on the 3rd instant.
A large minter of the male inhabitants of the city repaired
a few leagues front it, as if for the purpose of celebrating
some feast day, having banners with mottos inscribed upon
them, which fairly denoted the intention of resistance, and
a party of troop. was sent after them, an action ensued, in
which the latter were driven off with considerable lots of
lite. The Creoles repaired to the mountains, where they
have raised the standard of revolt, and expect to be sup-
ported and sustained until a general rising determines the
fate of the meal, The various letter. written from Cube,
concur in this account, and without doubt there is much
truth iu it. It is also very certain that remarkable precau-
tion. are now taken to nianitain order iu the city of Havana,
which though ever faithful, seems to have fallen under sus-
picion.
Our domestic news is interesting. Developments are
now making, which indicate that large (muds have been
committed on our government, by persons who have pre-
ss uteri and been paid what arc called " Mexican claims."
The grand jury, in the city of Washington, have found bills
against various Krems fur perjury before the commissioners.
The Pacific arrived here last night, having been obliged to
come from off Cape Pine light, Newfoundland, with a sin-
gle engine. The port engine was badly broken, and for a
w minutes there was considerable alarm among the pas-
sengers but the engineers, though driven again and again
from their ports by the steam which was escaping from the
broken cylinder head, maces cried in disconnecting the en-
gines, and preventing any serious injury to the vessel.

CANADA.
TORONTO, JULY 19. '
On Friday the house went into committee of sup-
ply, and Mr. Ilineks, the inspector-general, made his anan- '
vial statement. lie congratulated the country on its great
prosperity, as shown by the increase in the importation of
various leading articles of consumption during the past
year. He stated that the import of sugar in 1848 was
10,192,0001 h.; in 1849, 11,536,0601 b.; in 1850, 15,680,0001 b.
Molasses, 36,602 cert. ; in 1819, :5.5,712 cwt.; in 1850,
61,009 cwt. Tea, in 1848, 2,259,2911b5. ; in 1849, 3,076,528
lbs. '• in 18.10, 3,517,166. Coffee, in 1848, 8,900 cwt.; in
1849, 9,232 cwt.; in 1850, 10,186 cwt. Manufactured to-
bacco, in 1848, 1,704,7951b5. ; in 1819, 2,463,4531b5. ; in
1850, 2,517,1621b5. In unmanufactured tobacco a still
greater increase would be found, arising, no doubt, from
the increased prosperity in the manufacture of that
article. In 1848 the importations amounted to 102,21:151b.;
in 1849, to 394,2281 b; and in 1850, to 636,5001 b. Ile said
that it was not easy to get at the details with reference to
a great quantity of cotton and woollen manufactures, which
constituted the bulk of the articles subject to ad valorem
duties; because, under the imperial snthority, the custom-
' house did not take account of these articles separately ; but
in 1819 the aggregate importations amounted to 3,002,5'991.,
and in 1850, to 4,245,5171. The increase in the imports
from the United Kingdom, in 1850, as compared with 1849,
was 44 percent. ; from the United States, 32} percent.; from
the sister colonies, 100 pee cent. ; and from foreign countries,
120 per cent. The hon. gentleman referred to other items,
and then showed that our revenue exceeded our expenditure,
but he did not think that it would be prudent to lessen this
by taking off duties on any articles, as there was nu com-
plaint in the country that the duties were too high, and
in view of the demands about to be made on the govern-
ment, for the construction of railways, he thought it well
that we should have a surplus revenue.
The revenue for the last year exceeded 700,000!.. while
the expenditure for the same period was only 5341,0001., in-
cluding the expenses of the civil government and the inte-
rest on the public debt.
Mr. Cayley, the late inspector-general, on the other hand,
contended that there was no use in keeping on hands so
large a surplus as 170,0001., with the prospect of its being
still further increased during the present year. Ile was in
favour of taking off all the additions to the duties on im-
ports which were imposed by the tariff of 1819.
The house, by a very large majority, will support Mr.
Hineks' view, and which I thick is the prevailing opinion
out of dours of parliament. No vote has yet been taken.
The committee rose and reported progress.
The remainder of the week has been occupied with mea-
sures of principally local interest.
Mr. Baldwin's leaving the ministry seems to be already
causing disruption in the ministerial ranks. The Globe,
which was the Upper Canada ministerial organ, has openly
ratted ; and the French
,show signs of a desire to coalesce
with the conservatives, as there is far more sympathy be-
tween these two parties than with any others at present ex-
isting. There will have to be new combinations formed, as
stated by Mr. Mucks in a late speecla ; and I think it will
be a railway coalition, and anti-" clear grit," alias repub-
lican ; and, in favour of retaining the present religious cor-
porations, against the ultra-anti-clergy reserve and anti-
rectory party of Upper Canada.
I understand that 1/r. Ralph, one of the old reform chiefs,
who had abandoned the political field since the time of the
rebellion, is again coining out, and will assume the leader-
ship of the clear-grit party. I believe he is already solicit-
ing the suffrages of the constituency of the county of York.
In commercial transactions there is nothing of any cause-
quencc to report, this being the dull season.
We have warm and beautiful weather, and the appear-
ance of the country is charming.

LIMERICK ELECTION.
This election took place yesterday with the result
I •
which the news of the preceding day prepared us to
expect. There was a great deal of bustle and ex-
citement. The mob had everything its own way,
and filled the city with shouts of triumph; and in the
midst of all this the Earl of Arundel and Surrey was
put in nomination and returned without opposition
us the representative of the borough of Limerick in
parliament. The proposer of Lord Arundel was the
Rev. Mr. Braham, I'.P., and not Bishop Ryan, as
had been expected.
He said ho regarded that election as a purely religious
question, and therefore it was he proposed Lord Arundel,
who had been discarded in England because of his advocacy
of theltoman catholic faith.

William Monsa, En ~ M.P. for the county of Limerick,
seconded the nomination of Lord Arundel—as true a man
as ever stepped into parliament—as determined a supporter
of the cause of catholicity, and friend of civil and religious
liberty, as any one he saw around him. (Cheers) Lord
Arundel was the best candidate they could select, as he was
the first victim of the penal enactment.
The High Sheriff having inquired whether any one else
had a candidate to propose,
The Rev. John Kenyon, of Templederry, the well-known
" Young Ireland" priest, then unexpectedly came forward,
and was received with some cheers and hisses. Ile said he
did not want them to cheer him, but to hear him. (Uproar.)
He called on them as rational beings to exercise a wise
discretion on the present occasion. (Cries of " Sit down.")
He would not. (Groans.) Who, he asked, was this Earl
of Arundel and Surrey who they had heard had so many
names ? (Cries of "Heis a Roman catholic.") Did they
forget the noble-minded Smith O'Brien, who had been so
basely treated by the party who now introduced a Saxon ?
(Cheers and losses.) Ile argued that so far as religion was
concerned, the attempt now being made ought to be re-
sisted to the fullest extent, but he insisted that was not the
place to do so. (Groans and uproar.)
Lord Arundel requested the rev. gentleman would be
heard. Fair argument ought not to be suppressed.
Rev. Mr. Quade made a similar request.
Rev. Mr. Kenyon said it may not be too late for him to
call on them to think of the consequences of their conduct.
Ile was their friend. (Cries of "We disown yes.")
In the tumult it was impossible to hear, but Father
Kenyon was understood to say that Lord Arundel ought
not to be elected while an Irishman could be had to advo-
cate the rights of the country, and concluded by proposing
Col. Sir Charles O'Donnell as a tit and proper person to
represent the ancient city of Limerick. (Groans.)
The nomination was seconded by Mr. Dallas, solicitor.
The indignation of the mob at this unexpected prospect
of a new competitor, broke through all restraints, and as-
sumed a formidable aspect. Mr. Dallas was immediately
exposed to personal violence, and amidst vociferous execra-
tions and shouts of "Put him out," "Tear him down," a
portion of the rabble took the platform by storm, and
the routed occupants of the intervening places were com-
pelled to entrench themselves within the precincts of the
bench. The priests and other friends of Lord Arundel
clustered round Mr. Dallas, and hedged him in from the
vengeance of his assailants, who were at length appeased.
The High Sheriff tnen called for a show of hands, which
were all raised in favour of Lord Arundel, and his lordship
was accordingly declared duly elected.
Lord Arundel, Mr. J. O'Brien, M.P., and some other
gentlemen then addressed the electors, and thus the pro-
ceedings terminated.
In the evening bonfires blared in all directions, and the
streets were paraded up to a late hour by temperance bands
and pipers, accompanied with large banners and burning
tar-barrels, and ibllowed by the shouts of the populace. A
most ludicrous feature in the carnival was displayed by a
group of boys, wearing fantastic helmets and parti-coloured
dresses, who bore, suspended on a pole, a hideous effigy in-
tended to represent the Prime Minister, who was subse-
quently committed to the flames with all imposing cere-
mony. The news from Limerick was last evening cele-
brated by a merry peal from the bells of St. l'aul's Catholic
Chapel in this city.
It is needless to sac that the Roman catholic
organs treat the result of the Limerick Election as a
great triumph.
Side by side with a telegraphic communication,
announcing that the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill had re-
eeived the royal assent, and finally passed into law,
the Free»tan a .Itntrnal this morning publishes a
document, having affixed to it, in prominent array,
the signatures of " Paul Cullen, Archbishop, fie.,
Primate of all Ireland;" of the three other ltoman
catholic archbishop, with the titles of the respective
sees of Dublin, Cashel, and Tuam; and of Drs. Cant-
well, Italy, and Foran, with the ecclesiastical titles
of Meath, Kildare, and Waterford, severally attached
to their names. The document is an "Address of
the Archbishops, Bishops, Clergy, and others, com-
posing the Committee appointed by the Synod of
Thurles for founding a Catholic University in Ire-
land to the Catholic Clergy and Laity of England;"
and after summing up the usual arguments employed
in support of their project, it thus concludes:

Such, catholica of England, arc a few of the many motives
which invite yi.ur co-operation with us in this great mid
holy work. To you, who are linked with us in the brother-
hood of a common faith, whose religious principles and
wants and interests are identified with ours, whose magnifi-
cent literary institutions, founded in the ages of faith, and
surviving to the present day, hear such glorious testimony
to the zeal of your ancestors in the cause of learning—to you
who owe such a debt of gratitude to heaven for re-peopling
the long-desolate sanctuary of your church, not only with the
venerable members of your revived hierarchy, but with such
a crowd of illustrious and distinguished converts worthy of
the brightest and holiest days of England's catholicity, for
whose country, in the midst of the greatest difficulties and
obstacles, the overruling hand of Providence appears to be
gradually preparing a mission fraught with greater benefits
to mankind than were ever borne on the wings of com-
merce, a far brighter career and far nobler triumphs than
those which have lighted the ocean and the battle field with
their splendour—to you we confidently and earnestly appeal
to aid us by your contributions, your exertions, and your
prayers, in the accomplishment of a work so eminently cal-
culated to promote tiosPs greater glory, as well as your own
best and dearest interests.

The opening of the Midland Great Western Rail-
way to Galway took place yesterday, as I stated
would be the case, without any attempt at ostenta-
tious display or festivity. Public trains started at
intervals during the day from both ends of the line,
and performed the journey with the utmost precision
as to time and speed. 'f he length of the line is 121;
miles, and the transit occupies five and a half hours.
Over some portions of the line where the train passed
for the first time the speed was so much as forty
miles per hour. On a portion of the line near Gal-
way a single line of rails has as yet only been laid
down, to be used until the second line shall have
been completed. The arrangement made by the
directors was to give a free passage during the day
to every shareholder, but the only festivity by which
the occasion was celebrated consisted in a dinner
given to the directors and a few other guests by the
Galway Club, presided over by the High Sheriff.
Crowds of the peasantry were assembled along the
way, and cheered heartily as the train passed. The
day was on the whole a memorable one for the west,
and that it may be the inauguration of happier
times for that interesting portion of Ireland is the
sincere wish of all.

At the Galway assizes a ease of replevin, in the
matter of Kelly r. Arthur Bell Martin, was tried, to
test the validity of a lease made by the late Thomas
Barnwell Martin, of Ballinahinch, to the plaintiff in
1826. It was compromised by the Law Life Assur-
ance Company, who were the real defendants in the
case, and who gave the plaintiff a consideration of
900/., together with his crops, for his interest in the
lease.

At the same assizes, Chief Justice Blackburn re-
fused an application made by the crown to have a re-
presentment made for arrears of labour rate.
Writs have been issued for electing a temporal
peer for Ireland, in the room of the late Earl of

The Lord-Lieutenant, on the recommendation of
Lord Viscount Castlereagh, has been pleased to ap-
point William Black, Esq., barrister-at-law, son of
Henderson Black, Esq., J.P., Woodford, Dromara,
to the commiasion of the peace for the county of
Down.

Mr. Horace Grecly, editor and proprietor of the
New 11,rk Tribune, and late member of Congress, is
among the latest American anivals we have had
here. Ile has bees to Galway with a view of re-
porting to his friends in America on its suitability as
a packet station.
Much injury has been inflicted ou the crops in
various parts of the country by floods arising from
the heavy rains which fell in the early part of the
present week.
The weather continues unsettled, but the harvest
reports continue, with scarcely any exceptions, to be
favourable.
