ARRIVAIi;OF THE BALTIC

[The following appeared in an extra supplement
with part of our impression of yesterday.]
The steam ship Baltic, Captain Comstock, has
just arrived here from New York with advices to
the 15th inst., being four day's later than those re-
ceived on. Saturday by the America.
She has brought home 134 passengers, and One
Million of dollars in specie. She spoke the steam-
er Atlantic on the 16th inst. about 125 miles from
New York.

We subjoin the letter from our correspondent in
in New York, from which it will be seen that the
news from England, taken out by the Canada, had
caused quite a panic in the Money Market, and a
great excitement in the market for Breadstuffs, the
prices for which had again advanced. The Wash-
ington correspondent of the New York TiMes
says that advices had reached that city, from
Havanna supplying intelelligence of important
movements of the English Government, in con-
nection with Slavery in the island of Cuba. It is
stated that a treaty has been concluded with Spain,
by which England is permitted to prosecute inCuba
a search for slaves that may have been landed,
and it is said that there is also a prospect of her
concluding a treaty by which she will withdraw her
cruisers from the coast and permit slaves to be
landed ad libitum, on condition that they shall be
made Emancipados for ten years, and that Slavery
shall be abolished in Cuba at the end of fifty years.
The Times adds :—These 'movements, if the re-
port .of them proves to be well-founded, will attract
the very general attention of the country.

from New Orleans report the weather
'as cool and fine, and thousands of an Sell Luca
returning, considering the 'danger from yellow
fever entirely over. The health of Mobile is nearly
restored, and there are only occasionally cases of
yellow fever. •It was still prevailing in various
towns of Mississippi and Louisiana. Natchez :is
now free from the epidemic, and trade is reviving
there. The fever had disappeared from Thibo-
deaux, but at Yazoo City it was still raging Se-
verely.

Ad-vices from Mexico to the 13th inst. had been
received. There were reports of a revolution fat
Yucatan, and a steamer with three hundred troops
had been despatched to quell it. Don Lino Alcorta
had been appointed minister of war. A New Or
leans paper states that a conspiracy had been dis-
covered at Puebla, involving several persons of
influence, some of whom had been ordered to
leave the country.

The New York Herald says :—Our Washington
despatches this morning, contain some interesting
intelligence. An effort is to be made to render the
navy more efficient, in view of the anticipated
troubles in Europe The suspension of the busi-
ness of Mr. Draper appears to have caused quite a
sensation at the capital. Captain Gibson has pub
fished a letter expressing himself satisfied with the
action of the government in his case.
Governor Seymour, yesterday resigned his office
of Governor of Connecticut, to assume the duties of
the Russian mission, and Lieutenant Governor
Pond was sworn in as chief executive of the State,

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
New York, Saturday Morning, Oct. 15;
By the Collins steamer Baltic I send you a sum-
mary of the latest news, up to the hour of the
sailing of the steamer. The steam-ship Humboldt
from Havre and Southampton, arrived at this port
last evening after a very rough passage. • Her news
was in substance anticipated by the Canada's ar-
rival at Halifax on Thursday morning. The
Canada reached Boston last night at 10t p.m. Her
moils &c. will reach us this afternoon at 4 o'clobli.
From Washington we learn that some move-
ments were going on in the Navy Yard,
for putting that force in better trim, (in case of
need.) It is said that the United States Navy des
not possess one steamer of war that is in a ! fit
state to cross the Atlantic. One of the leading

Mr. Dobbin, the Secretary of the Navy, had on
Thursday last, visited the Collin's steamer Baltic;
he afterwards proceeded to Washington. It, is
surmised that the Government intend buying this
vessel, and converting her into a steamer of War.
J. H. Young has been commissioned as ConSul
to Curacoa. The Washington Star announces that
James . Gordon Bennett, of the New York Herald,
is a disappointed applicant for the mission to
France. General Dix is to be released from the
office of the Secretary of the Treasury at New
York.

General Almonte, Mexican Minister at Wash-
ington, in a communication to the New York Herald
denies the fact that Santa Anna entertains the
notion of the substitution of Empire for the pre-
sent existing Republic.
Advises have reached Washington stating that
Yellow Fever had broken out near the Naval Ren
desvous at Fell's Point, Baltimore. The. Govern-
ment have been informed of serious troubles having'
broken out in the Cherokee nation ; a portion of
the natives were in arms against the Government,
and had killed two of Ross's party.
- Some heavy snow had fallen in New Hampshire;
a letter from • that place, dated on the 12th inst.
lays that" Mount Washington was covered to the
depth of two feet.
Since mylla-st. advice's per the America, com-
mercial affairs New York. have been wildly ex-
cited. The demand for money has become greater,
while the supply upon the market has been less
Most of the banks have, .in a measure, curtailed
their amount of discounts, and even what they do
is done at very exhorbitant rates, say from 10 :to
18 per cent. On the receipt of the Canada's news,
by:telegraph. from Halifax, late on in the day!of
Thursday a most severe stringency arose in money
circles, which almost amounted to a panic.
The failure which was announced on that
day of . one of our Wall-street brokers, (Mr.
Simeon Draper,) had an effect upon the business;
in. the street; and the day closed heavily, probably
the:darkest day in Wall Street that has been ex-
perienced this year. The. Stock Market fell off
considerably for almost all descriptions from three
to 'five, and even seven per cent. On Friday in
consequence,. of further news by the Canada tele-
graphed froin Halifax, which, was less unfavorable,
the market for money was a shade better, and
- stocks looked up-a little, but closed at from four to
v P" cent lower than on: Wednesday, for
nearly all descriptions.. The market for breadstuffs
has again advanced under the advices brought ont
by me uanacta, but the transactions nave inn ucen
large, shippers are inclined to await their private
letters : most of the transactions have 'been made
for future delivery. The increased rates may be
quoted at 25 cents for flour, and 4 cents on
wheat. The stock -on hand is limited at present,
but as the winter draws upon us, the supplies will
be. forced upon the market.
The cotton market, owing to the continued un-
favourable advices from Europe, continues languid,
and prices drooping. Notwithstanding, the reports
from the• south, of the shortness of the crop, the
sales have not averaged 400 bales per day, for the
last week or -two.
In the provision market we have to notice
an 'active demand for pork, fat rather higher
prices. In other articles there is no change.
~ Freights_ continue extravagently high, to Liver-
pool flour is quoted at 3s. 6d. to 4s. per barrel, and
wheat 14d. to 15d. per bushel. Exchange on Lon-
don for remittance, per the Baltic has been some-
what less in demand, and lower rates are current
We quote bills at sixty days, at 1091 to 109
