iecticut river is now (one o'clock) some 19
e low water mark, and is still rising about

rowed by the treasurer to meet the accruing interest on these
bank bonds, for which it will be necessary for the state to
furnish means for the reimbursement.
The governor reviews the affairs of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad at some length. , The $525,000 appro-
priated by the legislature by the act of January 15, 1852,
would have been sufficient to put the road in good condition,
but for the fact that by much the larger portion of it had to
be applied to the payment of debts which had been accu-
mulating from its first organisation. The revenues of the
road had therefore to be used to make up the deficiency, and
the present report of the superintendent will, therefore, show
no profits received for the work, into the State Treasury.
The governor is adverse to selling the road or any part of it
to a private company. He deems that the best method of
conducting its affairs, is under the management of the
executive of the State, and a superintendent to be appointed
by him.

The elections in the state of Louisiana have
gone in favour of the administration candidates by
very large majorities. The delegation in Congress
will all be of the same politics from present
appearances.

A dispatch from Natchez states that the yellow
fever had re-appeared there, and that a number
had died of the disease.

The New York Commercial Advertiser reports
that Mr. Crampton, the British minister, has
formally denied the allegations that his government
contemplated any such proceedings with regard to
Cuba as have been attributed to it. The steam-
ship Isabel arrived at Charleston with advices from
Havana to the 3th instant, reports that there is
some political excitement in Cuba. Several arrests
had been made, and some alarm was felt by the
government. A number of the revolutionary paper,
Vox del Puebla, had been issued. There was also
a story about a vessel having appeared off Baracoa,
at the east end of the island, and that at a signal
made by her, the fort was attacked by about
seventy men on horseback—a rather unusual mode
of attacking a fort. The reports ad-1 that some of
these, " horse marines, " shall we call them, were
made prisoners, and were already on their way to
Havana when the Isabel sailed.

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Evening Post sends intelligence of considerable
interest concerning the Sandwich Islands project
of annexation, and also concerning Mexican affairs.
It seems that a letter has been received from an
army officer on the Rio Grande, that two members
-of the Mexican ministry at the termination of the
war with the United States, who took an active
part in promoting the expulsion of Santa Anna„
have been summarily shot without even the form of
a trial. One of them was Luis de la Rosa, who
was formerly Mexican minister at Washington.
This intelligence is regarded as very important, as
indicating the determination of Santa Anna to test
his ascendancy and to act with absolute indepen-
dence in his position. It is known that he is
personally disposed to sell further portions of terri-
tory to the United States, and also to release
America from her treaty stipulations concerning
the Indians of New Mexico, for a consideration:
and the issue of this affair will test his ability to
carry out such an arrangement From the Sand-
wich Islands there is every prospect of an early
application for annexation to the United States ;7---
and there is no doubt that it will be favourably
received by the American government. King Ka-
mehama is said to be anxious for its consummation.
At a meeting of the Hawaiian cabinet held after
Dr. Judd's retirement, every member voted for. it
except Mr. Wyllie, minister of foreign affairs, who
is a Scotchman and warmly opposed to it. There
is scarcely a doubt entertained in the island of the
speedy consummation of the scheme.
From Kingston, Canada, we learn that on the
12th inst. a fire broke out on one of the steam-boat
wharves at the foot of Store-street, which destroyed
the bonded warehouse of Mr. J. Miller, the wharves
and warehouses of the Hon. John Hamilton, and
the warehouses of McPherson and Crane, Mr.
Hendy, and Watts and Donohue. • The property
destroyed was no doubt large. It is said there was
insurance to a large amount.

feeling, and less pressure. Loans on call are re-
ported to have been negociated as low as seven per
per cent., where the security was undeniable. The
rates of discount had not, however, been reduced.
The advices 'carried out from this country had
caused a decline in the markets for bread stuffs,
and holders appear to have become anxious sellers.
Our private correspondent, writing on the 16th,
says, "In the markets for bread stuffs we have
to notice considerable fluctation. On Saturday, the
market for both Flour and Wheat opened very firm
with a good demand both for home consumption
and export, but at the opening of business on
Monday there was a reaction, and the business
done on that day was only limited, with prices
favouring the buyer. The receipt of the Baltic's
advices late on in the day caused a further decline
in almost all descriptions, but chiefly in Common
State Brands. The decline is 121 cents. per brl.
In Southern Flour there was a moderate demand,
and prices were about the same. Canadian in bond
was in demand and firm.

The Cotton market continued dull, and the tran-
sactions limited, although sellers appeared willing
to give way a little in price. Our correspondent
says, "In provisions less has been done in pork,
and prices have in consequence slightly declined.
In beef there was more doing, and prices remained
firm, and in some cases higher rates were made.
Lard was in demand at about former prices. But-
ter was in good demand, prices not changed. For
freights there is hardly so much inquiry ; but prices
are pretty well maintained to Liverpool. Flour at
3s. 3d. to 3s. 9d. ; wheat at 124- to 14 cents per
bushel."

There was a fair inquiry for exchange on Lon-
don for remittance by the Africa and first class
drawers held firmly for 1091 to 1092.
The New York Times says, the supplies of flour
and grain sent forward to Great Britain from the
five principal shipping ports of this country, New
York, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Boston, from Sept. 1 to the present date, are equal
to 508,314 qrs., (8 bushels each) of Wheat, and
13,960 qrs, Indian corn. The flour reckoned as
equal to five bushels wheat to the brl.
