AMERICA.

Owing to the late hour at which the Canada's
mails were delivered, we were unable to publish the
following in our first edition :

Puerto Cabello advices of the 2nd ultimo are
received; The country was in a state of revolution.
General Garvaez had been routed by Pinto, and
some negroes killed. General Garvaez had a force
of 500 men, but was short of arms. Gen. Zamora
had plundered San Filipe of $lOO,OOO worth of
property. Puerto Cabello was in arms, and the
stores closed half of the time. Troops were landing
from the east.

By the arrival at New York of the schooner F.
Taft, Captain Bunker, from Savannah la Mar., Jam.,
which port she left March 27th, we learn that the
insurrection had been put down. A British steamer
had arrived, and landed 380 troops, for the protec-
tion of the inhabitants and their property. The
objectionable toll-gates had not yet been rebuilt,
but at a meeting of the magistrates, held on the
26th, it was decided that it should be done at an
early day. The ringleaders in the late affair had
not been arrested. The port was quite healthy.
In the Echo slaver case, at Chariest in, the evi-
dence for the prosecution had closed. No testimony
for the defence was offered, nor any cross-examination
of witnesses for Government. It was proved by the
testimony of Lieut. Carpenter, Coxswain Monaghan,
and Captain Marfitt, of the U.S. brig Dolphin, and
by other parties, that the negroes on board the Echo
were found in a very distressed and suffering con-
dition ; that Capt. Townsend was a native of New-
port, R.I. ; that the condition of the vessel, when
captured, was extremely filthy, and that the charts.
found in possession of the Captain had marked upon
them, in pencil, a continuous line from the coast of
Africa to the point of her capture.
Another Free-state convention is called in Kansas,
to meet at Big Springs on the 3rd inst. Ex-Gov.
Stanton has returned to the territory, to reside per-
manently.

A company of 1,200 miners is at the Kansas gold
mines, but some fifty only are at work. Most of the
party are engaged in building houses on the various
town-sites. The Indians are gathering in great
numbers in the neighbourhood of the settlements,
and their presence excites apprehensions of trouble.
New army orders have been issued, positively pro-
hibiting settlers from selling ardent spirits ; forbid
sales of sutler's Atores to enlisted men, on credit, for
any sum exceeding one-third of the soldier's pay for
the current month ; suspend the construction of new
buildings at any military station, except those which
can be built by the labour of the troops ; limit the
number of privates for regimental bands to sixteen,
to be deducted from the legal standard of the several
companies; order the immediate assignment of all
enlisted men to regiments ; and render obligatory
the consent of parents or guardians to the enlistment
of miners.

Twenty cases of small pox are reported in the
village of Columbia, Henry County, Alabama, and
the disease was spreading rapidly to other counties.
Murderous riots among the firemen of Philadelphia
are of so common occurrence as hardly to excite
remark in that city. One of a more than ordinarily
serious character, however, occurred on Sunday, the
17th ult., in which two or three individuals were
shot, probabiy fatally. The riot grew out of an old
grudge between the Shiffler and the Moyamensing
Hose Companies. One of the men was Robert
Thompson, Secretary of the Moyamensing Hose, and
another was John Capir. A despeaate fight occurred
on the same day between the Reliance Engine and
the Humane Hose Companies, in which several
persons were very badly hurt. The police succeeded
in arresting some half dozen of the leaders.
A Washington letter in the Boston Advertiser of
the 20th April say, in relation to the Nicaragua
treaty :

The amendment to the Cass-Trissari treaty provides that
the United States shall engage to use due vigilance and all
lawful means to prevent the organisation of hostile parties
in this country intended for the invasion of Nicaragua.
While some prominent gentlemen look upon this as a
reflection upon our good faith in carrying out the neutrality
laws, and as unnecessary, others are disposed to regard the
':-.nosition of Nicaragua
:light as the

ratification as an evidetiCe of t:1

to cultivate friendly relations with us,

aaucuUlll.ll. is, 1G is not certain that it will be acceptat,..
the Administration, which has not given to it due conside-
ration. With regard to the efforts of the British authorities
to revive the obstacles to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, pre.
appearances, if not the assurances, are such as not to change
the belief that there will be a favourable solution of the
question. It has heretofore been confidently stated that the
Paraguay fleet had been ordered to Central America, but.
such does not now seem to be probable, although several
of the vessels will be sent to the Gulf, when they shall be
again put in commission. It is considered that there is
sufficient force in Central America for all practical purposes.
Lorn Napier and family had left for Annapolis,
where he would take his passage in the British
frigate Curacoa for England.

NEw YORK, April 19.
The Weekly Averages of the Banks of the City of New
York, on Saturday, April 16, 1859, present in the aggre-
`-‘ the following changes from the previous exhibit of

April 9
Increase in Loans
$103,172
Decrease in Specie
270,560
Decrease in Circulation 155,002
Decrease in !Indrawn Deposits
The Bank movement of the past week it will be noticed,
was a very even one; steadier in respect to loans than was
anticipated. The Specie average, owing to the receipts
from California coming into the account late in the week,
and after the large outgo by the Persia, is slightly lower.
The statement, altogether, excites very little remark on the
Street, owing to the quiet ruling of the Money Market.
The impression is that the mercantile Discounts proper are
on the decrease at Bank, and at the same time there is no
increased offering of
.paper to outside lenders. There is a
fair business to-day in demand loans at 4to 5 per cent.
Exchange for the Boston steamer opens steady at 1091 to
110 on London. A moderate trade business through the
standard banking-houses, and but few transient bank bills
offered uuder 110 per cent. French Exchange is quiet.
The Sub-Treasury received to-day $61,000 for Customs,
and disbursed nett over all receipts $98,000 ; reducing the
balance to $6,981,902.
