ARRIVAL OF OF THE STEM
(mom out ow:t CORI

NIAGARA.
NT.)

LIVERPOOL, Sun DST.

The Royal Mail steam-ship Niagara, Capt. Leitch,
arrived in the Mersey about one o'clock to-day with
the usual mails from the United States and British
North America. The Niagara left Boston on the
28th, and Halifax early on the 30th ult., and has
brought, besides the mails, about 5.5 passengers, and
180,000 dollars in specie on freight.
The Cunard screw steam-ship Andes, from hence
and Boston, arrived at Ncw York on the 20th ult.

The Royal Mail steamer America, from hence on
the 17th for Halifax and Boston, arrived at the former
port on the 29th ult.

The usual mail steamer from San Joan had arrived
at New York with California dates to the lit of Sep-
tember. She brought a million and a half dollars'
worth of gold dust, on freight and in the hands of
passengers. The principal feature of news in the
journals is details of depredations committed by the
Indians, with frequent murders. The commercial
intelligence from San Francisco is of an unfavourable
character. Trade was extremely dull, in consequence
of over-shipments from the Atlantic states.
At the latest dates from New Orleans the ravages
of the yellow fever had so rapidly subsided, that the
daily reports of deaths from the pestilence had ceased
to be pablished. At Mobile the fever had also
continued to decrease in virulence. On the plan-
tations, and in various towns of Louisiana and
Mississippi, however, the epidemic still continued
very severe.

At the departure of the Niagara business at New
York was brisk; but the stock market had become
further depressed.
Exchange on London was firm at 1091 to 1091 ;
Paris, 5.121 to Ili; Hamburg, 361 to 361; Bre-
men, 791 to SO.

In cotton there was but little doing. Holders,
however, did not press sales, and this, added to con-
tinued complaints from the cotton•growing districts
of the injury to the young plants from nix and
cattcrpillars, sustained prices. The transactions
effected were at the following quotations:—Yew
Orb ns and Mobile, mid fair to fair, lite. to 12;c.
per lb.; Uplands, mid fair, to fair 111 c. to 12c.
per lb.

The market for breadstuff* was rather quiet, and
transactions were to rather a moderate extent.
Holders were waiting the arrival of further advices
from England. Prices were reported as follows :
Western Canal Hour, 6 dub. 26c. to 6 dols. 371 c. per
barrel, steady ; Genneasee prime wheat, 1 dol. 46c.
to 1 dol. 48e. per GO lbs. ; Southern wheat, I dol. 38c.
to 1 doL 40e. per 69 lbs.; Indian corn, round yellow,
82c. to 84c. per bushel, steady ; Indian meal, 3 dole.
75c. to 3 dole. 871 c. per barrel.

The provision market was in a healthy state, and
at former prices a good deal of business had been
doe.

Freights remained unchanged at the steamer's
departure, the asking rates being—Flour to Liver-
pool, 2s. Gd. to 2s. 9d. per barrel ; grain, 81d. to 9d.
per bushel; cotton, 3-113 d. to Id. per lb.
