INSURRECTIONARY MOVEMENT IN MEXICO
—RIOTS IN CALIFORNIA—CHOLERA IN
THE STATES.
After a passage of little more than 11 days the
British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship
America, Capt. Shannon, arrived at Liverpool last
evening abmt 4 o'clock.
We are in possession of one week's later dates from
the western continent, u the America left Waton on
the 4th, and Halifax on the ith inst. Her advices
from New York are brought down to the evening of
the 3rd, and from other cities and towns as follows :
Montreal, Ist inst.; Philadelphia, 3rd; Baltimore
and Charleston, god ; New Orleans, 30th nit. ; St.
Louis and Cincinnati, 29th ult.
The America brings the mails, as usual, from
British North America and the United States, and a
large numSer of passengers.
She reports the arrival at Mobile of the Royal
West Imita Mail steam-chip Clyde, and also at
New York, of the Hibernia, whose arrival at Halifax
we announced in last Tuesday's impression. The
Canes, also, belonging to the British and North
America Royal Mail Company, had put int) Halifax,
landed her mail and passenger', and proceeded to
Boston.

All oar accounts by this arrival are, with one ex-
ception, unsatisfactory.
rh,t, fearful scourge, Asiatic cholera, was rapidly
extending throughout every portion of the instep, and
in many instances had manifested the most msliguant
type. In Cincinnati, and St. Louis particularly, the
contagion is most fatsi. In New York it is in-
entasieg very much, both in extent and in severity.
Every possible measure to mitigate its effects was
being resorted to, bet as yet no head could be made
*velvet the disease. The authorities had interfered to
suppress many of the haunts of vice raid intempe-
rance, and had also transferred some of the poorer
classes into better ventilated apartment?, but the ex-
treme heat had tended to counteract all their exer-
tions, and a state of terror was beginning to be felt'
by the inhabitants. The disease wu also felt very
much on the western rivers, in Tennessee, and In-
diana. It was feared at New Orissa& where a cessa-
tion of the &oda had taken place, that when the
waters had receded, and the deposits become bare,
the epidemic would brut forth with more in-
ter.sity than before. There are some cues reported
in Mexico, and a few in British North America
The interments in ten cemeteries in St. Louis on
June 30 were 114, seventy-five of which were caused
by cholera. On the next day the report of cholera
interments was 95, and other diseases 23. July 2nd
was observed as a day of fasting, humiliation, and
prayer.
The steamer Uncle Sam, arrived at St. Louis from
New Orleans, brought 350 emigrants, 75 of whom
died on the passage of cholera.
From California there are several reports regarding
a spirit of disorganisation which had resulted in much
rioting. Them were continually fresh deposits being
discovered by fortunate parties, but the great mw of
the " diggers " were obtaining less of the precious
metal than heretofore, the melting. of mow coming
down from the mountains having augmented the
water, and rendered the search more difficult. An
mince a day is now considered good lock, where
lbemerly &pound would have scarcely been reckoned
so. The principal field for obtaining new deposits
is the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountain.
