says that, although the silk crop is gathered in the grarip,
part of Italy, the amount of the produce is still uncerl6o
One fact, however, is ascertained—that the crop is ncl` y
deficient as was apprehended. All the foreign seed Pr°ff,
pered. The seed raised in Lombardy, on the controof
generally failed. The spinners and holders of a stocl‘,,og
silk say that the crop is bad. Speculators pretend tPti
it i 3 much better than last year. Everybody
according to his inter st and his wishes ; but it is genera'l
believed that prices will be lower than last year, and °-
silk at present is a hazardous speculation.

ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA:

The British and North American royal mail
-steam-ship Niagara, which sailed from Boston on
the 15th instant, arrived here at a very early hour
Yesterday morning with 109 passengers, and
306,867 dollars in specie on freight. The Arago
from Southampton arrived at New York on the
13th instant. and the Anglo-Saxon from Liverpool
'at Quebec on the 11th.
The news to hand is four days later than our
previous advices, of which the following is an
ample summary.
From Washington we learn that the Cabinet and
President approves of the firm and decided mea-
sures suggested by Gen. Cass, to be adopted in
reference to all our foreign relations The pro.
tection of citizens and property in foreign countries
is to be greatly enlarged, and a more summary
course pursued than was adopted y other admini-
strations to obtain redress ; as was the case in
regard to the injuries and insults of Spain to
American citizens and the American flag.
The President had received a despatch from
Govet nor Walker, of Kansas, in which he expresses
the fullest confidence of being able to bring matters
to a peaceable termination, and speaks of the ut-
most harmony prevailing among the people of both
parties. A despatch, dated Sunday, July 12,is in
the following worls :—" The Administration is
triumphant over Secession and Nullification.
Governor Wise supports the Kansas policy of
Governor Walker, and the opposition is now
confined to Georgia, Mississippi, and the Tennes-
see stronghold of Know-Nothingism."
Instructions are' to be forthwith sent to the
United States' Minister in Mexico for the negotia-
tion of a new Treaty, which will include the grant
to us of a perpetual right of way over the Tehuan-
tepec Isthmus.

recently took place in Morgan County, Kentucky,
between Mr. Mason, democrat, and Mr. Cox. Know-
Nothing, candidates for Congress, in which Cox was
shot by Mason and killed. Both these persons have
represented the Ninth District in Congress.
The heat was intense at New York.
A riot occurred in Montreal on Sunday, the
12th of July, in consequence of an Orange flag
being hung out A great crowd assembled, shots
were fired at the flag, and two or three Orangemen
were severely beaten.
The Montreal Herald, of the 15th inst., publishes
the following aocount of a terrible steam boiler
explosion in Canada : . _

Just as the train of cars was passing St. Hilaire, from
Richmond, yesterday morning, about a quarter past ten
o'clock, a terrific explosior, carrying off the roof of the
building, took place at the Bolced Mill, situated on the
opposite shore of Richelieu River. We visited the scene
of the disaster in the afternoon, and learned the following
particulars from Mr. Briault, the secretary of the Belceil
Mill Company. The engine, which worked four run of
stones, was from the factory of Messrs. Miln and
Miln, of this city. It had been in operation
during the night of Monday, until seven o'clock that
morning, when the furnaces were gifted to
go out About ten o'clock they were re-lighted, there
being abundance of water in the boiler, and shortly after
the fearful explosion occurred—the causes of which no one
appeared to be able to guess. The results of the explosion
were dreadful. Of fifteen persons who were in the build •
ing at the time, only three escaped without injury ; four
were so scalded by the steam that they died within three
hours of the accident, while seven were so seriously injured
that their recovery is extremely uncertain. Thome who
lost their lives were Antoine and Alfred Folsy, the millers ;
Pierre Perault and Pepin, farmers, who were in the
building at the Cate. The mill was a stone building of
three stories, sixty by twenty-five feet, and was entirely
destroyed and shattered by the explosion. We are sorry
to hear that the property was not insured, and that the
loss to the company who had built it will be some two or
three thousand pounds.
We have two weeks' later news from California.
the news is generally unimportant, the principal
excitement being political, incident upon the
chenges—progressing and prospective—going on
in the Federal offices. The Know-Nothing party
is virtually extinct, and the great mass of the
members of the late organisation have gone over
to the Democracy, or enlisted in the Republican
cause. Mining matters, as usual, monopolize
the attention of the great majority of the
inhabitants of the Interior- Quartz mining
enterprises are resulting more favourably,
and extensive arrangements are in progress for
carrying on this description of mining in nearly
all of the interior counties. The crops throughout
the State promise to be more plentiful, and bar-
! vested in better order than was anticipated a few
weeks ago They will not fall much below the
average of former years, owing to the greater quan-
tity of soil sown and planted. The United
Sta'es Surveying party, to locate the boundary line
between Washington Territory and the English
possessions, have left this port for Puget Sound,
on Government steamer Active, where they unite
with the British party, whence they together pro-
ceed on their mission. In the Southern part of the
State the drouth has seriously injured the crops,
and in fact every species of vegetation The cattle
have suffered greatly, and many have died from
hunger and thirst. No further news of interest
from Sonora. All doubts of the total annihilation
of the Crabb expeditionists are at an end. Com-
munications between this State and Carsen Valley
is now of daily occurrence, and an active and
rapidly increasing trade is springing up, which
will prove beneficial to our Territorial neighbours,
many of whom are desirous of being annexed to
California. The list of murders, rencontres and
accidents, for the fortnight, is appalling ; far
greater than for many months past.'
Our dates from the valley of the Great Salt Lake.'
via San Bernardino, are to May 6th. Accounts of
the departure of Brigham Young and suite for
Northern Utah and Oregon, and of Mormon mis:
sionaries for the British North American provinces,
' Europe, Asia, and Africa, constitute the only news
of interest.
Our dates from Oregon territory are to June 6.
The election of delegates to Congress had resulted
in the choice of General Lane, but by a great
reduced majority. If there lead been an unity of
, opposition, it is thought the Democratic candidate
would have been defeated. The Indians on the

The military proceedings against the Mormons
are to be on a large scale. The correspondent of
the New York Times, writes:—
The Administration are, at length, alive to the necessity
of crushing out the Mormons, as a set of vipers, while it
is yet within their power. They are sensible that the
temporising policy of the late Administration had the
!sited to give confidence to Brigham Young and his fol-
lowers, and encourage them to persist in a treasonable
course to the United States. The military arrangements
have been made with great skill, and with a view to actual
service, and to ample supplies for a winter campaign. The
veteran Lieutenant-General Scott, and Quartermaster-
General Jesup, superintended these arrangements. There
is
now no doubt that processes against Brigham Young
and others for treason and felony will be issued, and that
they will be tried. The question between United States
law and Mormon occupation will be settled, with or
without force. There is no doubt that the Congress
committed a gross error when they constituted for Utah
a Territorial Government. They had every reason to
doubt the expediency of permitting a body of foreign
fanatics to form a Government in the centre of the
Continent, and on the route between the Mississippi and
the Pacific. The Mormons, when they were expelled from
Nauvoo and plunged into the wilderness, intended to set
up a separate and independent Government and claim the
country as their own. Mr. Vinton, of Ohio, opposed the
Territorial bill on this ground, and proposed the same
course which Senator Douglas in his late speech at Spring-
field has suggested. Mr. Vinton wished them to subject
the inhabitants of Utah to the laws which regulate the
unorganised Territory of the United States. Every man
in Utah is a squatter, and is not entitled to precemption.
There is no precemption law which can apply to Utah,
so as to enable its inhabitants to take up for pre-emption,
lands, prior to their being surveyed, once offered for sale or
entry. The matter is finally to be settled by the repeal of
the Territorial Act, or by attaching the whole Territory, in
four separate parcels, to the contiguous States and Terri.
tories, which can be done under a provision of the act itself.
In view of the difficulties that are likely to arise, the
Government has wisely transferred Colonel Jack Hays, the
celebrated Indian fighter, from the Surveyor-Generalship
of California to that of Utah.
Judge Bowlin, the late minister to New Granada,
had had several interviews with the Secretary of
State. He brought intelligence of an important
nature—ao change having occurecl in the situation
oos affairs between the two countries. President
ptna, however disposed he may be towards an
adjustment of the pending
to r • resist the tide of questions, is not able
Popular prejudice against the
Americans. It appears, too, that the treaty
ma iing power, according to the Constitution of
New Granada, is not vested in the President, with
the consent of the Senate, as is the case with the
United States, but in the popular branch of Con-
gress also, and it requires the concurrence of the
President, the Senate, and the popular branch to
ratify a treaty. This provision will render it
exceedingly difficult even to adjust the matter
upon American terms by a treaty. If the Presi
dent of the United States had the war-making
power, he would, no doubt, resort at once to force.
As it is, he will await the meeting orCongress, and
lay the matter before that body, and nrobably ask
for certain powers to bring the question to an issue.
New York had been the scene of more rioting.
A Paper of that city says :
The police force and quarantine buildings and premises
a. t Seguine's Point were attacked on Saturday night, about
twelve o'clock, by the insurgent oyetermen, in three squads,
and from eS many different directions, the largest squad
numbering about sixty men. The attack was made by the
discharge of small fire-a, ms, and was continued about two
hons. The insurgents fired over fifty guns—some said a
h..
The attack the policemen only fired some six or eight.
Kae attack was made suddenly, and the fire of the insur-
rats was brisk, until the policemen rallied, and then the
faceface tne howitzers. The policemen say that, as a reason
for their not firing, they were waiting for the rebels to
come nearer.
The same Journal of the following day re-
marks
:
The attack on Saturday night upon Seguine's Point is
said to have been arranged at a meeting of oystermen and
others held at Rosville last Wednesday night. About 11
o'clock on Saturday evening three rockets were sent
up simultaneously from places adjacent to the new
-quarantine grounds. That these were signals from the
three squads who attacked the police and buildings from
three different points there can be no doubt. As far as
can be ascertained only one of the assailants has been
mortallyl injued. Warrants have been taken out for
Etrrest of several supposed ringleaders in the late
Cer; attack. The ten new policemen detailed by the Police
r'iss7oners to the Point to join the previous force,
mo arrivedi safely on the ground in the afternoon. Eta
r. ur, has it that Gov. King has been apprised by the Qua-
rantine Commissioners of the doings of Saturday night,
and_ that he is about to send down a company of military
w protect the Quarantine buildings. The riot in the
Seventeenth Ward was continued, at intervals, up to
Ist/clime o'clock, midnight. In the forenoon, Captain
rum was assailed by Gormaus in Avenue A, and pelted
with stones, but received no material injury. In cause-
'rlllence of this and other demonstrations, a large police
force of some two or three hundred men, were ordered to
'repair to the Seventeenth Ward Station-house, where
'hey remained during the evening. At eleven o'clock
:Roue they were marched through the streets occupied by
ttle rioters during the day and evening, and found no foe
to °PPese them. The 7th, Bth, and 71st regiments were
