THE NORTHERN TIRES, MONDAY, APRIL 11 1859

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA.

The royal mail steamer Asia, arrived here yester-
day afternoon with eighty-seven passengers and
$297,740 in specie on freight. She sailed from New
York on the 30th ult., and brings four days later
news. She reports the arrival out of the Persia,
Kangaroo, and Alps at New York, and the Niagara
at Boston.
There is a variety of interesting news by this
arrival. From Washington we learn that the United
States and England having failed to come to any
understanding regarding the right of search or
visit, the American government declining to yield any
point, and the English government refusing to
submit any new plan. The French government
have slipped in and submitted a projet to the
English government, which the American govern-
ent have adopted, and which will probably settle
the vexed question. Another correspondent says,
that the project merely proposes a friendly visitation
where there is good cause for suspicion that the
vessel is a slaver. To this the United States govern-
ment has no objection, so far as vessels sailing under
the American flag are concerned.
There is interestinc, news from Central America,
and California. erom Panama we learn that
General Walker had passed over the Isthmus en route
to California. The United States corvette Cyane,
sailed from Panama on the 16th for Realejo. The
St. Mary's remains at the former port. The French
frigate Andromede, the flag-ship of Admiral Bonard,
had left Panama for Punta Arenas, Costa Rica.
H. B. M. steamer Vixen was coaling at the island of
Taboga. The Roanoke and Brooklyn are at Aspin-
wall, the latter reaching that port on the 13th.
Letters from San Salvador apprise us of the
movements of the U. S. sloop-of-war Decatur, in
prosecution of orders to intercept a filibustering
expedition, reported to have been fitted out in Cali-
fornia with a view to invading Nicaragua. The
Decatur made every preparation to receive the ma-
rauders, hilt after protracted vigilance and diligence,
learned the falsity of the rumour.
Sir William Gore Ouseley, having completed his
_ _

labours in Nicaragua, had gone to Costa Rica. Gen.
Lamar remains inactive at Leon, where the senti-
_

ment is decidedly unfavourable to the ratification of
the Cass-Yrissari treaty. Llorente, the exiled Bishop
of Costa Rica, had been received with prodigal
honour at Nicaragua.

The hostilities between Ecuador and Peru are as

languidly prosecuted as ever. The Peruvian steamers
are still anchored before Guayaquil, maintaining a
blockade, and effecting some seizures for its violation.
One of the steamers bad approached near enough to
the city to bring its guns to bear upon the Govern-
ment house ; but had not proceeded to attack. Pre-
sident Robles had caused great dissatisfaction by
removing the seat of Government, temporarily, from
Quito to Guayaquil.
From Peru we have word of uninterrupted tran-
quility, although the popular discontent is daily
increasing. It is thought, indeed, that the Admin-
istration of General Castilla can last but a short
time. One source of urgent difficulty is the
diminished receipts at the Treasury owing to
the remarkable decline of the traffic in guano.
The movements of Echenique have ceased to
excite alarm.

We have dates from Valparaiso to the 16th
February. The revolution still extended, the
Northern States of Chili being in the hands of the
Liberals. At Talca the Government troops and the
insurgents were in daily conflict, disputing the city
street by street. The insurgents had carried every-
thing before them at San -Felipe. In the South,
however, the Government forces had succeeded in
regaining Talcuahuano and making their positions
good at other points. Six hundred thousand dollars
of the loan recently obtained through -Messrs.
Baring, in England, had arrived, but was retained
on board the British steamers. The unsettled state
of affairs in Chili had paralysed all business. Nearly
every Tort of The Republic had been' closed by
decrees of Government, except to foreign men-
of-war.

A revolution is reported to have broken out ill
Chiapas, the southermost State of Mexico, on the
20th Jaauary. The insurgents attacked the City of
Comitan, and after a sharp conflict possessed them-
selves of the place.
Our news from Fraser River states that the pros-
pects at the mines were good ; that the Governor
had designated Queensborough as the capital of the
Territory ;, and that the American residents were
very indignant at the refusal of the Governor to
permit, the public celebration of the anniversary of
Washington's birth-day.
There is a curious report from Utah, in the corres-
pondence of a San Francisco paper, to the effect that
Brigham Young keeps within doors through fear of
his life ; that several of the leading Mormons are
apostatising ; and that life and property are unsafe
in the Territory.
Accounts from the Kansas gold mines are very
favourable, and the rush of ethigrants for the auri-
ferous region is stated to be something beyond pre-
cedent. The average yield with rockers is from four
to ten dollars per day to each man. Companies are
forming to convey water from the Platte River to
Cherry Creek, a distsnce of 20 miles. '

In California the greatest excitement prevailed on
the reception of intelligence that the Pacific Railroad
bill had been defeated in Congress. The San Fran-
cisco press is filled with violent articles, denouncing
Congress, and going so far as to threaten secession.
The' severance of California from the Union is hinted
at in unmistakeable terms. The difficulties between
the miners and the Chinese continued in an aggravated
form. Some hundreds of Chinamen had been ex-

pelled by force from Shasta County, and some riots,
accompanied by bloodshed, had occurred. The latest
intelligence from Southern California was unfavour-
able, both for the prospects of the miners on the Co-
lorado and for the movements in favour of a new state.
The sporting circles had been excited by a ten-mile
race in the San Francisco Course, between Princess
and Glencoe Chief, in which the former won the
purse of $9,000 in a little over 29 Minutes. The
United States steamer Toucey, had been successfully
launched from Marc Islana Navy-yard. A report
had bee'n introduced in the State Senate, in favour
of releasing the sureties of the defaulting State
Treasurer, Bates, who absconded with $124,000.
The coinage of silver dollars at the mint for ship-
ment, was urged by the mercantile interest.

a further diminution will Neeur. The exports are free to
great Britain, to France moderate, and to the Continent
they are large. The obstruction on the bar of the Missis-
sippi continues ; the accounts thence are worse than ever,
and the matter becomes one of serious importance. It is
estimated that over 200,000 bales are prevented from getting
to sea, of which the great bulk is destined for Liverpool
The weather at the South continues unfavourable for
ploughing, and the seed cotton will be planted three or four
weeks later than last year. We shall not be able to report
the effect on the South of the accounts per Niagara, to hand
yesterday, but it will keep alive the activity-, and probably
lead to higher prices.
We beg attention to the telegram from New Orleans,
dated 28th instant, and received yesterday. The rains
have continued at the South, damage has been already done
on the Mississippi, and further delay will be experienced in
planting. The accounts from the bar on 28th. were better ;
ten outward bound vessels and others bound in got over.
Freights in consequence had slightly declined.
In this market we have had an animated demand, with
large sales each day. Store cotton being relatively higher
than transits, the transactions are not as large as they other-
wise would have been for Liverpool, the continent of Europe,
and for home consumption. Yesterday, after the receipt of
the accounts per Niagara, the demand for store cotton in-
creased, and prices advanced it- to on the lower qualities,
while on Good Middling and Middling Fair the advance is
more. The sales for the week are estimated at 15,000 bales,
while the export has been for Liverpool, 6,211 bales ; Cron-
stadt, 3,922; Riga, 1,000; llamburgh, 184. Total, 11,317
bales.

Corrow IN Titiusisrru has been unusually active, with
larger sales than in any previous week this season. Prices
have advanced fully -lc per lb. The sales have amounted to
35,000 bales, and we .closed on Monday at the following
rates, on the basis of 7-16 d freight: From New Orleans,
strict middling, 12te ; middling 12c; barely middling,
11Z-c; low middling, 111 ; good ordinary, 11c; ordinary,
10c. Mobile, with Id freight, about the same range.
Uplands, with 6,-16d freight, midding, 121,c ; low middling,
12c ; 'good ordinary,
Southern markets, as reported, for the week ending 25th,
inclusive, at New Orleans and Mobile : in the former
63,000 bales were sold, closing at 12c for middling; in the
latter 20,000 bales, closing at 12-1 c to 121 c for middling
In Savannah the demand has been chiefly for the continent
and American spinners, at 121-e for middling, and 12,1-e for
good middling. In Charleston, middling 121, good
middling 121 c. In the interior markets prices are relatively
higher, the chief business being on local speculation. The
accounts to hand, per Niagara, are calculated to advance
still further all the southern markets.

NEW ORLEANS, March 25. - Receipts for the week,
30,700 bales (net) ; same week last year 57,000 ; sales to-
day 16,000 and for the week 63,000 bales. Middling 12c
per lb. Export for the week to Great Britain, 34,000 bales ;
stock on hand, 440,000 bales; freight to Liverpool, 1-d per
lb. 26th : Sales to-day 10,000 bales ; market firm at 12c
for Middling. March- 28 : Market very firm ; sales .6,000
bales, holders demanding an advance. Liverpool Middling,
12c. There has been heavy rains, causing crevasses;
damage considerable. Freights weaker. Bar better. News
per Niagara not yet made public.
MOBILE, March 25. —Receipts for the week, 11,000 bales ;
same week last year, 12,000. Sales for the week, 20,000.
Middling 124 c to 121 e per lb. Export for the week to
Great Britain, 12,000 bales. Stock on hand, 145,000 hales.
Exchange on London, 1081 per cent. Freight to Liver-
pool, 11-32 d to d per lb. 26th. —Sales to-day, 2,500 bales,
at very full prices. 28th.—Sales to-day, 2,500 bales.
Market hard. Middling 121 c per lb.
SAVANNAH, March 28. Sales to7day, 450 bales. Mar-
ket unchanged.
REetprs for the week, 78,000 bales. The excess is
reduced and now stands at 843,000 bales. Next week a
further reduction will be shown, as we learn, by telegraph,
that for the week ending 25th inst., at New Orleans, they
were 30,700 bales, against 57,000 in the corresponding
week last season. This falling off is large, and gives
evidence of exhaustion of supply at that port, for the rivers
have all been unusually high, and navigation free. At
Mobile during the week, 11,000 bales were received,
against 12,000 bales in the same week last year. At Char-
leston and Savannah they keep up pretty well, because
their receipts are at the expense of the interior stocks in a
great degree, and until these are reduced we must look for
tolerably free arrivals at the Atlantic seaboard. The quan-
tity arriving at the interior markets is small, ascribed by
some to the bad condition of the roads, and the difficulty
in hauling, and by others to the gradual exhaustion of
cotton on the plantations.

EXPORTS 6r the week to Great Britain are liberal,
amounting to 82,000 bales. To France 3,000 bales, and to
other foreign ports 26,000 bales. Few of the vessels
detained at the bar of the' MisSissippi 'have got over and
gone to sea, while the quantity increases daily by new
clearances. The latest accounts by mail represent the
passage as more and more difficult; hitherto, by the aid of
steam, vessels have been dragged through three feet of mud
on the bar; this is not so praetible, as there is scant fifteen
feet of water, and there are fresh deposits of sand making.
Vessels of light draft of water get over without much
trouble, but the bulk of those detained draw seventeen feet
and more. Some of the largest ships have already been
kept there from thirty to forty days, and one or two over
sixty days. On the 21st instant it was estimated that
250,000 bales were being detained on the bar, inside the
bar, and at the city.

since the Ist September last as compared with the previous
four years :--
