ARRIVAL OF THE KANGAROO.

The steam.ship Kangaroo arrived in the Mersey
yesterday, with eighteen cabin passengers. 9.680
dollars in specie, and advices from New York to
the 29th ult., being oae day later than thoSe pre-
viously received.
The complexion of the commercial accounts is
more favourable. In the New York Stock Market,
on the 28th, there was an active busibess done, hut
with considerable fluctuations in price. A New
York paper says :
There was an active business at the Stock Board this
morning, particularly in N. Y. Cenral, of which nearly
4,000 sh, res vrera sold, the market fluctuating serilusly.
The stock opened at 631,:.against 63 yesterday, declined to
611 and then recovered to 631 regular. and 64, buyer
thirty. The operators for a decline were disposed to sell.
but generally on short•time. The foreign sews has been
co;:strued as favourable, and the gold brought by the Persia
e; conrages the bull party. The bond -market to-day has
been very strong. The market was better for nearly
every deseripti,n,
Freights are firmer. To Liverpool, 3,500 brie. Flour
at 2s. 61. ; 41,0 0 bush. Grain a' 711. in the balk, and Bd.

The movement in Gold "continues to be mode-aie, and
the votations are to 1 per cent premium.: Th. supply
la ample, and the banks are indifferent abet accumulating
more.

We are gild to learn.that the nurnber of protes's- at the
banks is considersibly,le3sned, ^nd Aot .enti-ely. from the
fact that renewals are easy to be obtained. We find upon
inviry that the regulsr payment of notes at bank i 3 mach
larger than is now gsneraby suppcsed, and that in this
respect the state of Ihe tnErcarvile cammunity shos s a
marked improvement from lust week. Thia is certainly -a
very favourable feature.

the adviCes by the Persia are looked upon ar iod;; wing
what we suggested some days since; that the 'effect 'cf

would be less serious than has been gen,rally

A great flood had visited Lake Ontario, the
Rver Mohawk, &c., & t and all river aed canal
navigation had been stoprel. A despatch, dated
Albany, Oct 28th, is as follewg
The freshet is etill upon us. A-. twelve o'clock last night
the water rose to its height, within two and a half feet of
the great February freshet. The water remained sta-
tionary some six hours, when it began to recede, and
during the last twelve hours has fallen some eighteen
inches. The business portion of the city is yet submerged
some two or thre3 'eet. No canmunication with vessels
lyiug at the docks, except by boats, censepently no load-
ir or discharging cf cargoes can he effec•ed. A large
number of vessels are lying at the lenaber district wailing
for their cal gee', but they cannot be approached. as the
entire district is und3r water. Canal b ate can neither
enter the basin nor depart westward. In truth. all manner
of bu iness carried on near the river or canal in entirely
suspended, and merchants can only approach their stores
by means of boats and entering in the second stories.
Never •within the recollection of any one has ,uela a tre-
mendous freshet recurred in the mild and genial month of
October. The steamers on the river, plying from this city
to New York and verioui places on the river, fin 1 very
difficult navigation and dangerous lending, and sev. ral to-
day abandoned tlieir trips.
Intelligence recdved here from the west, gives fearful
tidings of the storm. On Lake Ontario several vessels
hive been foundered. From Os veg.° we learn that several
vessels wire wrecked lit their approach to the harbour. No
account tom these outside, but fearful apprehensions are
entertained.

At Syracuse the freshet w .s unprecedented:The southern
rations of the c'ty were inundated, and families had to
t scape from their dwellings in the best manner they could,
some wading through the weer three feet deep. For the
last thirty years such a terrible freshet has mt been
witnesvd in the Onond-ga creek
At Utica the Mohawk overfl )wed its banks, and covered
the whole cluntry for many miles ; and indeed, all along
the Mohawk flats down to the juneti .n of the Hudson, the
whole valley presents a fltld of water scarcely ever seen
before. The standing crops of cltn, potatoes, buckwheat,
and hundreds cf tons of hay in the stack, have been swept
away with the tremendous current.

We have no account from the upper Hudson in t'e
northern part of ihe State, but there is reason to believe,
from the effects felt here, that the streams no in Saratoga,
Wa-hington, Essex, & & must have swollen to a fear-
fal extent, and cawed immense damage to farms and
lumbermen.
The Corrm7ssioner of Patents h^s tendered to
Mr. Bolen Fortune of 'England the agr.ncy- for the
int-oduclon and oultivatiln Tea Plant and
other productions of China in thii country. The
selection of this gentleman is owing to his•expe-
rience in such maters.
The Savannah News says that an arrival from
Nassau reports the wreck of the British ship :Kos-
suth on the 8 h inst., off Manille. She w.ts bound
from Nay Yolk to New Orleans; also reports
calling in wi'h a ship on the 23-d inst , water
'ogled and abandoned. She was too low in water
ascertain her name.

At a D -mocratie meeting hell at Lecompton,
Kansas Territory, on the 20 h iilt., resolutions
were, adopted strongly condernnatOry of the action
of Messrs; Walker and S.tanton respecting the
re'urt s from Oxford Prr.,eil c , JAnstone C3unty.
The course of the Governor and Secretary were
l'hanicterisal as high-ham-hi, illegal, and a usur-
pation of the power belonging only to the
Leg t!sla ure.

A desnalch, dated Boston, October 28 b, seys :
--George B. Cowee, Edward Pri3e, and Jenob
S'anton have been arrested here in connection
with foi•_rries, embracing the citcu.tion of some
unsigned bank notes, s•o'en' a few months since
from the New England Bank Note Company. The
emennt thus spuriously circulated does not pro-
bably exceed 7,000 dollars. - The parties were held
to bail ►or trio'.
The aCCOLVIfe from Utah are of a threatening
character. One thing is cer•Ain—.he Saints are
determined, if threats of resistance will do it, to
prevent the advarce of the troops into their valleys
du jog the present winter. Whether they would
go the length of ac'ull resistance, is qaite another
ques ion ; still it is by no mans impossible. "We
Gentiles," says the Net, York Tribune, rnigh;
think such a proceeding 'he heieht of folly.''
But then it is to be recellec‘ed that the Mormons are
enthusiasts, acting, as they think, under special divine
gnidence. and their actions, of conr,e, are not to be
mewured or anticipated according to any calculations of
worldly prudence There has been so much of the extra-
ordinety in thei► history, and the whole system is
based upon such• entire delusions, that there is
no anticipatirg what they might undertake to do.
Certaiely, if the government was really in ea nest
in this ma-ch ',pen Utah, the busine,s has
b•en most shockingly mismen ged. But we doubt much
whoth, r they are or ever have been in earnest and we are
etroeg'y inclined to thick that excuses will be found in the
Maness of the seasrn, the want of grass and the difficulty
f obtaining supplies, for wintering till next spring. In
fact, and. r existing circumstances, we hardly see what else
can be done. In the present tentp3r of the Mormons it
would be very questionable policy to send a small and inade-
quate fire's into s heir count' y to be cut off by the approach of
winter from el poseibility of reinforcement or aid We
do not know the precis. number of the force new at Fort
Laramie, but it can hardly exceed a thousand or fifteen
hundred men. It must he confessed that, considering the
violence by which the Mormons have formerly suffered,
they have grounds of suspicion and apprehension ; while
on the other hand. a due regard for our own character
()emends great caution in the appliea•ion of mlitaq force
liable tobe c.mstrued into an attempt to put down religious
fanaticism by force.
