Nine arrival of a government express at San An-

Kki the statement last received from the city of

,N maces had been received at New York from the
• INtWleb. Islands bringing the important announce-
Nl_ that a decided step had been taken towards
ktlelation to the United States. The French
kßiti 45ritish consols had protested to the king
,W 14114! such an act, and the American commis-
Irlovnad replied in a firm but dignified manner.
t ement had caused the greatest excitement
island. B. F. Angell, U. S. consul, has
e °Mcially received by the King, to whom he
'4144 BPeech, in which he said that the Hawaiian
t .of foreign affairs had informed him that

the course of his predecessor in office had given
entire approbation to the Hawaiian government,
and he hoped that he might be equally successful.
Mr. Angell assured the king of the continued
friendly feeling of the United States government
and people, and that they would preserve invio-
late the treaty stipulations. The king replied in
appropriate terms, thanking Mr. Angell for these
assurances.
By the arrival of the steamship Black Warrior
we have received advices from Havana to the 29th
ult. The Cuban planters had been thrown into a
great state of excitement in consequence of the
groundless rumors relative to England's project to
Africanise the island, by abolishing slavery,
through the apprenticeship system. The planters
well know that such a scheme would be a death
blow to their prosperity, and soon reduce the con-
dition of Cuba to a level with Jamaica and Hayti.
Six more American seaman had been arrested and
lodged in prison, on a charge of having been en-
gaged on board the bark Jasper, which the autho-
rities allege was concerned in the slave trade.
The advices from Tampico supply us with ex-
tracts from the Eco, which complains in earnest
terms of the effect of the new tariff, in preventing
the import of foreign breadstuffs. It declares that
there is so little flour in the market in consequence,
that it has risen to a high price, and that it is
of such bad quality that the bread made from it—
further deteriorated as this is by the wet weather
which has been prevailing in the city of late—is
not only unpleasant, but it is positively injurious
to health. The 800, consequently, makes a strong
direct appeal to the supreme government and 'the
authorities, to take immediate steps to relieve the
citizens from the difficulty which the new tariff has
imposed upon them, by facilitating the introduction
of foreign breadstuffs, as they cannot otherwise be
readily obtained.
Later advices from Port-au-Prince report the
yellow fever as prevailing there with great severity.
The cholera is said to be committing dreadful
havoc among the inhabitants of Yucatan ; in the
town of Moyda, at last accounts, they were dying
at the rate of one hundred a day.
The Board of Health of the city of Mobile have
officially announced that the yellow fever had ceas-
ed to prevail there as an epidemic. The Daily Ad-
vertiser publishes the annexed tabular statement of

The Advertiser adds that of the 377 deaths attri-
buted to " other causes" at least one half were pro-
duced by yellow fever ; so that of the entire aggre-
gate of 1,256 deaths occuring within the eighty-
seven days included in the table, 1,072 may be set
down as fever cases, and this in a population of eleven
thousand persons. During these twelve weeks Mo-
bile lost eleven per cent. of her population, ten per
cent. being from yellow fever.
COMMERCIAL.
The Commercial news by the Niagara is not by any means
of a favourable character. From Buffalo we have the announce-
ment of the failure of Pitchin's Bank. It was brought about by
large loans to the Buffalo and New York City railroad Co.,
whose affairs, under the stringency of the money market, are
severely embarrassed. Mr. Pitchin, the President of the
Bank, is also President of the Railroad, and has assumed
liabilities, which in consequence of the difficulty in disposing
of the bonds and securities of the road, has resulted in the
discredit of the bank bills, which are, however, abundantly
secured with the banking department. It is believed Mr.
Pitchin's large private fortune will be devoted to prevent
the loss to the depositors.
The notes of the Bank of Massillon, Ohio, had been dis-
credited at Cincinnati. The New York Herald
"The failures reported yesterday, of the Oswego Bank, New
York ; the Bank of Massillon, Ohio, and a bank in Con-
necticut, were caused directly by their connection with ope-
rations in the different classes of railroad securities. The
taiture of .uwigat, jun., tue oamler, uroxer, and railroad
constructor, carried the institutions named above down with
him. They mere all in the same boat, and the same wave
swamped the party. It is reported that Mr. Dwight has
hypothecated in different banks in Wall-street upwards of
two hundred thousand dollars of bills issued by the Connec-
ticut bank referred to, all of which must now come out.
This gives a pretty good idea of how deeply some of the
country banks are involved in the system recently adopted
for the extension of internal improvements. That the
country banks generally, have been largely extended in their
operations, is shown by the way they have drawn down their
deposits in this city. They have required every dollar of
their available means, to meet their liabilities as presented,
and it is our impression that many of them are weak and
shaky.
The New York, Hornellsville, and Buffalo Railroad Com-
pany had suspended payment. Mr. Pratt, belonging to a
forwarding house at Buffalo is also reported to have sus-
pended payment. His liabilities are said to be over two
hundred thousand dollars. The effect of these financial dif-
ficultieslin the western part of the:state of New York it is
feared will prove most disastrous.
These and other failures had, as a matter of course, caused
considerable inconvenience and depression in commercial
circles, but there appears to be a strong feeling that the
worst was known, and that every day would show an im-
provement. The last report of the New York stock mar-
ket says " there appeared to be some light breaking on the
prolonged money gloom, on Saturday. The stock houses
are, comparatively speaking, small borrowers on demand.
Those who have still a heavy burden to bear in the way of
hypothecation are not so frequently required to shift their
loans. The dear rates on paper early in the week are
scarcely sustained. There was more currency for prime
names at 12 if) cent. The mercantile classes are growing
exceedingly impatient of the continued bank contraction,
and the peculiar exponents of the importing interest are
throwing the whole blame upon the banks themselves."
The stock market was rather lifeless on the speculative
list. The railroads were Qto 1 per cent lower ; Reading
especially weak at the close. In Canton, Transit, and the
Coal Fancies, a fair amount of contracts were made. The
'rders for New York Central, Delaware, and Hudson,
Pennsylvania Coal, at 111 for Central, 106, to 107 for De-
laware, and 106 for Pennslyvania coal. The Delaware
stock is on the eve of a 6 per cent. semi-annual dividend,
and the Pennsylvania company will declare in January.
There was only a limited business done in exchange for
remittance by the Niagara, and the quotations on London
did not range higher than 1091, to 109 g.
We subjoin full reports of the markets.
