AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF THE ARCTIC.

Capt. Luce, passed Holyhead yesterday, at 4 p.m.,
after a rapid passage across the Atlantic, and arrived
at Liverpool at midnight. She sailed from the port
of New York on the sth inst., three days after the
Niagara. The number of passengers is 123, and the
amount of specie 985,000 dollars
The steam ship Baltic arrived at New York from
Liverpool on the day the Arctic sailed.
The money market at New York was much easier,
the arrival of two and a half million dollars gold
having given more confidence to the market. Money
was still in active demand. The securities and stocks
quotations are unchanged. One or more new failures
had occurred, the latest being the suspension of a
cotton speculator, Peter Cowrey, jun. Several
steamers were daily expected with the dust shipped
over the Isthmus front Panama, and the remittances
it was hoped would strengthen firms whole position
was doubtful.

There waslittle news of importance at New York.
the excitement connected with the celebration of the
anniversary of American independence fully occupy-
ing the public mind.
The judge before whom the ease of the deserter
Walsh was tried, at the instance of Sir 11. Bulwer, for
stealing arms, fie., and deserting from the British
army at New Brunswick, had decided that there
was not sufficient evidence to convict the prisoner
of larceny in the legal sense of the term, and he
was accordingly discharged. On leaving the court,
three groans fir the. British minister were called
for, and responded to by two-thirds of the audience
present, who were sons, or descendants of sons of
the "Emerald Isle." The corporal, Don.:e, who was
sent from St. John, N. 8., to give evidence against
Walsh, has also deserted, and taken up his abode
in the United States.

parties had been arrested for participation in recent
riots, but trials had not taken place. The New Gre-
nada had 800,000 dollars of silver on board.

From Chili, Bolivia, and Peru, the accounts arc
politically unimportant. At Valparaiso a great sen-
sation had been caused by the issue of a decree pro-
hibiting the circulation of the doubloons of Central
America, New Grenada, and Colombia, on account of
short weight.

INDIA AND CHINA.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

By our usual despatches in anticipation of the
Indian mail we have news from Calcutta to the 2nd,
Madras the 9th of June; Hong Kong the 23rd, and
Singapore the 31st of May. There is no Bombay
mail.

Simla. says the Madras Athenerum, at present
holds within its cool retreats the greater portion of
the official aristocracy of India. 'the Governor-Ge-
neral and suite; the Commander in Chief and staff;
the Lieutenant-Governor of the North Western pro-
vinces; the magnates of the Punjaub ; with an
exceeding great army of collectors, magistrates,
majors, and captains, have all sought shelter
on its bracing heights from the lassitude of an
Indian summer, and the 8611 severer exhaustion of
arduous official duties. As for the lesser guberna-
torial lights, the Governor of Bombay is recruiting
his flagging energies on the breezy hills of Mater-
buloihwur ; while Sir Henry Pottmgcr seeks rest
' from the dust and excitement of Madras, on the
quiet banks of the Ennore lake. How admirable
and beneficent the provision of nature that has thus
placed at accessible distances from each seat of go-
vernment some quiet shady spot of cool retirement,
where the dying sound of wearisome politics
Fulls a soft murmur on the uninjured cur
'of the exhausted statesman. But for this opportunity
of occasional recreation, how many a valuable life
might have been sacrificed to the Herculean labours
of an Indian government! s

The newslont the north west frontier is of a
more pacific character than it has been lately. Thu
hillmen are all quiet; no apprehensions of arty im-
mediate outbreak are entertained ; and all our own
troops have been withdrawn from the advanced posts
to which they had been moved in expectation of an.
outbreak. Let us hope our unruly neighbours may
after all prove more reasonable than we have been
anticipating.
At Lahore itself, the military, hospitals are fast
filling with English soldiers labouring under fever.
It may be remembered that last year this fever, sup-
posed, without doubt truly, to be generated by the
miasma arising from the stagnant water in the nu-
merous hollows about Anarkullee, laid prostrate
great numbers of our brave soldiers. Government
have, however, placed between two and three
thousand rupees in the hands of the sanitary
committee fur the purpose of its being employed
in the removal of these and other causes of un-
healthiness.

It is now doubted whether the expected visit of
the Governor-General to the
.capital will take pace

or not. Ilia lordship's mind Would appear to be
rather changeable ; his present inclinations being
understood to be in favour of a trip to the more
agreeable climate of Clieence. Sir Walter Gilbert
has arrived at Calcutta.

From the Nizum's dominions there is nothing new.
From the kingdom of Oudo our latest advices aro
dated the 23rd May. The Zemindar of Kuppradeen
has evacuated that fort, but has now fled into another
stronghold. Captains Magness and Bunbury have
cannonaded i:. for nine days, and at lust hotted him
out. Lucknow has just been the scene of a most
riotous proceeding, causing the loss of more than
twenty men killed and wounded. The scene of ac-
tion was at Hos.ieinabad.

During the storm with which Southern India was
visited in the commencement of May, the bridge in
process of construction over the Cauvery-, near Trichi-
nopoly, sustained serious damage. The progress of
this important and expensive work has been singu-
larly slow and unfortunate. People arc beginning
to surmise that a change in the engineering depart-
ment would not be unadvisable.

From China the news is unimportant. The insur-
gents in the Kwaugsi provinces were still in force,
and preparations were actively carried on at Cantoa
against them. As many as 5,000 men (says the
iriend of C'hino) have been seen to pass up the river
in boats, all accoutred for immediate action. They
appear to be levies from the north-east coast, speak-
ing an entirely different dialect from that spoken by
the Canton people.
We have well authenticated rumours, also, of a
serious rising in the western districts of the Kwang-
tung province. It is now some time since a report
reached us that the insurgents, in order to keep up
a communication with the sea board, had attacked
Keu-ehau-fu, a departmental city, on the bank of a
river about thirty miles from the boundaries of
Kwangsi, and midway between them and the -- Seal
