and the tepublican cause advocated with zeal and
ability.

The following is the latest telegraphic despatch
from Washington :—" The treaty Which our go-
vernment has been recluested by the Dominican
government to return, was, it is said, made by Mr.
Elliott with Bobadilla., a mulattos who was forced
into the Senato Consulto by foreign influence, in
order, as represented, to defeat the treaty made
with Cten. Cazeneau, a year ago. Elliott's treaty
has been in the possession of the government about
four months, but was not submitted to the Senate
for ratification, as unofficial representations had
prejudiced that body against it."

We have advices from Kansas to the 27th ult.
The acting Governor (Shannon) was at Lecompton,
and on the 26th issued a proclamation declaring
the Territory in a state of insurrection, and calling
on all law-abiding citizens to aid and assist the
legal authorities to preserve the peace and protect
the persons and property of citizens. Gen. Lane
is understood to have three parties stationed at
different points in lowa, for the purpose of receiv-
ing supplies or making his escape in case he is
compelled to flee.

From Nicaragua we haVe private reliable advices

Honduran and 6uatemala are organising fc

try ; and it is understood that as soon as the dry
season resuttes-now near at hand —they will make
a descent on Nicaragua. Rivas will, of 'nurse,
receive their sympathy and co-operation, as Walker
is now regarded by the people of Nicaragua as a
usurper. At first they were disposed to look upon
him as their deliverer—but his many blunders,and
acts of cruelty have induced them to change their
minds with regard to his character, airo, and pur-
poses. The commercial and business resources of
Nicaragua, we are assured, are in the worst pos-
sible condition. Business of every description is
entirely suspended, and there is little or no money
in the country. The greatest distress prevails, and
the future as well as the present of Nicaragaa
presents a sad picture. We sincerely trust that
succour will soon be afforded to that unhappy
country.

The qranada -correspondent of the New York
Daily Times supplies the subjoined intelligence,
under date of August 17:—
I-lard times are coming fast to Nicaragua, and Walker's
position is not a very enviable one. The natives are all
more or less against the present state Of things, for they
are treated in the hardest manner possible. and they will
not be friends as tont as their property is taken away
from theta by the improved law of the sabre. A. few
days ago Colonel Herrera—a well known rascal devoted
to Walker—left Massaya with about thirty natives to get
cattle for the army, and returning with a prize of about
ninety head taken forcibly from a Hacienda, was fired
upon from an ambush by the owners. The Colonel was
killed, and the others ran fast to Granada with the news.
This is the love borne by the natives for the Americans.
Desertion Is the order of the .day. We have now the
report that the conipahy of Captain Turby, which
deserted with their artias and have been committing all
sorts of depredations in Chontales, were taken by the
Chamorristas in Comalapa, and were almost all killed.
Postmaster Rugles has killed himself with brandy, and his
place is now filled by Major Crane, an excellent man of
business, and a gentleman. The new Minister to Washing-
ton, Mr. Oaksmith, has been the subject of a great deal
of conversation here, as none knew who he was. But
now some New-Yorkers have said that he is nobody, and
will prove another of Walker's failures. He has been
represented as a man of great wealth and standing among
your eminent merchants ; but it is now said that he is a
bankrupt. The new power to raise a loan under such a
man is a most extraordinary manoeuvre, and, of course,
no one expects anything to come of it. The worst we
fear is that he will not be received, and that another Col.
French drama will be repeated. Dr. Livingston has not
been executed. I do not believe any of the absurd
rumours that have been circulated about his execution in
retaliation for the death of Salizar. Rivas has fortified
Leon, having placed cannon in the tower of the cathedral
and around all the entrances of the Plaza. Walker will
have some trouble in taking the town if he does not
receive more men and artillery. - The army of Rivas is
about 2,000 strong. Walker's army, on the other hand, is
demoralized in every respect. Drunkenness is the
prevailing vice. General Cazeneau and lady leave by
this steamer. They have purchased a groat tract of land
in the hope of this being shortly a slave country, which
will be the final movement here.

Later advices from Havana inform us that Gen.
Concha continues to receive the congratulations
of his numerous friends and admirers. The cor-
porations of the several interior towns have sent
deputations to offer their devoirs to the newly-
appointed Marquis. The Cerro road is crowded
with vehicles of all descriptions, including our
clumsy omnibuses, which bear the Havana aristo-
cracy to the General's country seat, where he is
recruiting his health and enjoying his newly earned
dignity. It was currently reported that Senor
Argudin's project for the introduction of 40,000
African apprentices, has been approved by the
Home Government, and that the English Consul has
authorised a Mr. Englehardt to go out as surgeon
to the first expedition. The English Government
has consented to the introduction of the appren-
tices under the following conditions; First, that
slavery shall be totally abolished throughout the
island in the year 1900; second, that all vessels
employed in the traffic shall be registered in the
English Consulate at the Havana, and be furnished
with proper medical assistance; and last, that said
vessels shall only be allowed to procure the appren-
tices in ports hereafter to be designated by her
Britanic Majesty's Government.

description of fancies and extras have nearly maintained
last Friday's currency—the eastern trade buying quite
freely of the latter. Exporters seem to have entirely
withdrawn from the market, prices being relatively higher
here than those ruling in Liverpool at the latest dates.
The bulk of the flour no* arriving consists of new, and is
generally a decided improvement upon last season's product.
The wheat crop was garnered in most excellent condition,
and with a thorough reform in the system of inspec-
tion, American flour will once more occupy 'the
same rank at home and abroad that it did
prior to the degeneracy of 1854-55. The sales for the
three days amount in the aggregate to 17,000 brls, the
market closing heavy at our revised quotations. The
market for Canada flour continues dull, and prides, though
unchanged, favour the purchaser. Southern flour has
arrived more freely, and with only a limited demand, the
low grades have declined 25 cents ; sales 4,500 brls, the
market closing at 6 dols 75c to 7 dols for mixed to straight
brands, 7 dols 10c to 8 dols for low to medium fancy and
extra, and 8 dols 50c to 9 dole 50e for favourite and choice
do. The export dettand for wheat has been somewhat
restricted by the advance in freights, and, with fair receipts,
prices of red have declined 3c to sc, while white, which
is comparatively scarce, is firm at last Friday's prices.
Home millers buy sparingly in anticipation of a further
decline with the increased receipts that are expected within
a few days. Indian corn is in moderate demand, the market
is firm, and prices rather higher.

ASHES Pot arrive sparingly, and continne in request at

them sold at from 14c to 17c for Eastern and Western,

made before picking.
IRON : Holders of Scotch pig are firm, at previous quota-

The beef market is quiet, and without. quotable change,
though the reduced stock, as indicated in the annexed
statement, has induced more firmness on the part of
holders ; sales 1,000 brls, at 6 dols to 7 dols for country
prime, 8 dots to 9 dols 25c for country mess, 11 dols 75e to

and Die to 910 for hams. Bacon is scarce and nominal.

WEST INDIA MAIL.

(FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY EVENING

The Royal West India Mail steam-ship Atrato,

arrived here to-day, bringing the usual mails, fiity:
eight passengers, and specie amounting to eight
hundred and sixty-five dollars. The Atrato's dates
are Greytown, August 50 ; Demerara and Trinidad,
August 25 ; Jamaica and Barbadoes, August 27 ;

and St. Thomas, September 1.
Our St. Thomas advices inform us that a severe
earthquake had taken place on that island on the
28th August. Considerable damage was done.
There were several deaths taking place from
cholera, daily,

The island of Jamaica was healthy, and business

was rather active

We have still later acivices from Nicaragua, but
they agree in the main with those received via the
United States. General Walker's prospects were

darkening,

Guatemala was advancing with 4,000 men, to join
with Costa Rica in giving battle to Walker.
