tinue to levy the taxes pending the vote on the
Bridget. A plan for regulating the floating debt.
Various demands of extraordinary credits. A list of
all the decrees issued during the parliamentary vaca-

SOUTH AMERICA.

The Aspinwall Courier rays:—" We are in re-
ceipt of papers from Valparaiso to duo 16th, and of private
&deices from various points on the coast. Very little
business was doing at Valparaiso, and the market was
still glutted, aad freight about as at oar last advice,.
" Peru and Bolivia were still hors 4. combat, though
there ►ave been no collisions. Sig. Elias, the late aspirant
for, the presidency, who had escaped from Pert at last
aoccunts,:attempted to induce a rise at Tanabe. in favour
of Flores, but was defeated. He however escaped. His
nephew was under confinement at Callao on a Peruvian
war steamer. The guano committee bad reported 26,000,000
tons as the quantity now at the Chinches.
"The rumours we have heretofore published, to the
effect that Brazil was endeavouring to exclude foreigners
from the Amazon, are confirmed by the last news. She has
sent ministers for the purpose of treating with said govern-
ment (to monopolise the entire trade of the Amason) to
New Granada, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Peru. She will not
succeed. New Granada cannot, and Pont will not, become
a party to each a movement."

Tut HULL STEAMSHIP, MARSHALL.—No doubts
whatever are now entertained as to the fate of the Marshall.
A number of fishing boats which have arrived at Grimsby
report having seen the smith's& of the Marshall above low
water mark near Kilos Sea, about five miles from the New-
sand Float, and as near as can be guessed in very close
proximity to the place where t►e collision with the
Wood-house occurred. On Saturday a number of
scientific men went in the Duncannon steamboat, and
they were (weather permitting) on Monday to survey the
scene of the wreck, with a view to its being weighed, if
possible.

EGGS AND POTATOES.—Immense quantities of eggs
are now imported into this country from Spain, and potatoes
from Portugal. Englishmen live in Portugal now specially
to cultivate and export potatoes from that country. It only
requires security for life and property and railroads in those
two countries for English capital and esterpries to be at to
work to develop the inexhaustible riches of those fertile
countries.

ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.
About five o'clock this afternoon the Royal Mail
steam-ship America, Capt. Lang, entered the Mersey
with the usual mails from the United States and
British North America. The America sailed from
Boston on the 23rd, and Halifax on the 23th ult.,
and has brought, besides the mails, about 63 plasen-
gers, and 430,000 dole. in specie on freight.
The Royal Mail steam-ship Arabia, from hence on
the 6th, arrived at New York early on the 11-th ult.
The Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, from hence on
the 12th for Halifax and Boston, was passed by the
America between these two ports.
I'o the news by the last steamer of the arrival at
New York from England and the continent of emi-
grant ships with numerous deaths from cholera, we
have now to add that other vessels have subsequently
reached that port from England the mortality on
board of which has been frightful.
Two extensive conflagrations had taken place at
New York, by which property to the value of six
hundred thousand dollars has been destroyed.
Business generally at New York had continued to
improve, and was decidedly brisk. The improved
feeling in the money market had increased, and
money was much easier. Stocks also had exhi-
bited much the same improvement, and prices were
advancing.
The market for breadstuffs maintained pretty
nearly the same character as last reported. The
business done was but moderate, and prices showed
weakness.

The cotton market was steady, and a good deal of
firmness was shown in the transactions, holders
being encouraged by the small receipts at the cotton
port'.
The provision market continued to wear a dull
aspect, and sales could only be effected at a still fur-
ther, but slight decline.
Freights were much the same. To London they
were quoted at, for tobacco, per hhd., 605.; flour, per
brl., 4s. 9d. to 55.; grain, per bushel, 151 d. to el. ;
beef, per tierce, Bs. to Bs. 6d. To Liverpool, cotton,
7-32 d. to Id.; flour, per brL, 31. 64.; grain, per
bushel, 121 d. to 13d.
Exchange on London was quoted at 1093 to 1091 ;
•
Paris, 5.11! to 3.15.
