ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER ANDES

The screw steam-ship Andes, under the command
of Captain Moodie, arrived here yesterday,
at two o'clock, from New York, after a passage of
twelve days and a half ; by her we have re-
ceived our usual files of papers, which aro three
days later than those previously to hand.

The paddle steamer, Washington, for _ South-
ampton, sailed from New York on the same. day.
The Arabia, from LiverpOol, arrived out at New
York on the morning of the eth inst., at half-past
nine o'clock, with advices from Liverpool to the
24th of September.
The Andes has brought home 150,000 dollars in
specie, and 11 passengers.
The advice's from Liverpool by the Arabia, had
caused a further excitement in the New York
Markets for flour and bread stuffs, and given
an immense impetus to speculation. The trans-
actions are reported as very large at a further
advance of 121 cent per• barrel upon flour, whilSt
wheat was held very firm at the previous quota-

tions. The amount of business going forward was
only restricted by the scarcity of vessels to send
it to Europe, and in consequence freights had
further advanced. The last quotations were for
wheat to Liverpool ls. 3d., and for flour, from
3s. 9d. to 4s, per barrel. To London ls. 6d. was
demanded for wheat, and ss. for flour. The
Stock Market had been rather unfavourably
affected by the European news, as will be seen by
reference to our market report annexed. There
had been no important change in the money
market, but the demand was rather more active
at 7-per cent interest. There was only a limited
enquiry for Exchange on London, but the quota-
tions were firm at 1091 to 110.
The Washington Union publishes a summary of
the cruise of the fishing squadron under Commo-
dore Shubrielc The following summary of his re
port affords another illustration of that reckleSs-
ness in circulating reports and stories, of which the
community have such just reason to complain
"A single case of detention came to the knowledge
of the commander of the squadron, and that was
promptly inquired into at Charlotte Town, where
the fishing schooner was sent and tried. • It was
found that the vessel was taken in flagrant viola•
tion of the first article of the treaty of 1818, and
was liberated, after having been libelled, on the
written acknowledgment of the master that he was
so taken, and on his agreement to pay some small
expenses incurred in the suit. phis is the plain,
unvarnished story, of the " Starlight, Captain
McDonald, of Gloucester," which has been so
grossly exaggerated in the newspapers. And it is
the only case of detention that has occurred this
year. There has been no " seizures and condem-
nations," as the public have been led to belieTe
by persons evidently interested in getting up an

ai•
excitement."
The New Orleans' Picayune says :—" A friend of
ours, just returned from a short visit up the coast,
speaks of the ravages of the fever on very many
plantations as most terrible. He says that no
family where the fever enters escapes without the
loss of some of its members ; and he named seve-
ral instances where almost the whole family was
swept of In one of fifteen persons, fourteen died;
in another of eight, seven died ; and so on in the-
same proportion in smaller families."
A letter dated at Montgomery, Alabama, reports
the fever as unabated, and the citizens rapidly
leaving. At Pensacola the epidemic •continues to
show a favourable decrease, while at Milton, Flo-
rida, it is raging to considerable extent. Accounts
from Port Gibson represent whole families as
down with the fever, and no nurses to attend them.
There was but six physicians in the place. Among
the more recent victims at Port Gibson, is the
proprietor of the Herald. At Washington, LEL,
there are not persons enough left to bury the

dead.
The New York papers publish the inaugural ad-
dress of Mr. Merriwether, the newly appointed
Governor of Mexico. The Governor says :—" It
will become my duty to guard and protect, as
far as lays in my power, the interests of each
elilzen, anti V, act: aw,t,
first will at all times afford me pleasure, and the
latter may at times become an irksome and painful
duty, but it is one which must be performed at
every hazard. It will afford me pleasure to con-
tribute my mite towards the development of the
resources of the territory, With her wide and ex-
panded 'plains, her genial and salubrious climate,
her mineral resources and geographical position, if
we are but true to ourselves, the day is not far dis-
tant when New Mexico may claim her position- as.
an equal in the glorious sisterhood of states com-
posing the American Union. To accomplish this
end, however, it becomes necessary that there
should be a united and harmonious action on
the part of the several departments of the Terli-
torial Government, as well as the militaly power
of the General Government stationed here ; and,
above all, that we should receive, on all proper oc-
casions, the cordial support of the community at

'large."
Advices from Richmond, Virginia, say the
tobacco crop on Staunton river, Va., is seriously
injured by the frost.
From Buffalo we learn that the schooner Oneida*
had been run down on Lake Erie by the steamer
Buck Eye State, when about twelve miles off
Buffalo. She had on board a cargo of 7,000 bushels
wheat. The captain and all the crew, six in num-
ber, were lost, except the cook, who was taken from
the mast head at five o'clock last evening, by a life
boat. He had been there for over twenty hours.
The Washington Star says that the Depart-
ment of the Interior had received a letter from
Col. Wynkoop, United States marshal, of the East-
ern District of Pennsylvania, notifying to the Secre-
tary that three of the deputy marshals were on the
point of being arrested on a warrant, for seek-
ing to execute a writ for Mr.• Justice Greer, of the
Supreme Court of the United States, commanding
them to arrest William Thomas, a negro claimed
by Isham Keith, of Fauquer county, Virginia, as his
runaway slave. The state warrant charges them
with inciting to riot, or in some form violating the
state laws in their efforts to arrest the fugitives.

NEW YORK MARKETS, OCTOBER 7.
STOCKS.—The foreign news was not favourably received
in the street, althouglithe changes were not very important.
