AMERICA.

The Cunard steamer Canada, arrived here Yesterday
Morning, with four days.later .DCWS from the United
States, 110 passengers, and 51,268,514 in specie. The
New :York had
.arrived out from Southampton, also
the Hammonia, frOra, same port, and the Hungarian,
new screw steamer, had arrived at Quebec, from
Liverpool. . The AMerica arrived from. Liverpool, at
Halifax, on the 31st•ult.
The news at hand does not contain much of import-
ance. .We learn from Washington that General
Jerez, ,minister from Nicaragua, has been. officially
advised of the ratification of the Belly contract, but
with such amendments as to avoid complications or
impediments in the fulfilment of treaties with other
nations, our own included. It concedes, to M. Belly
no important grants .of land, or" privileges until
the 'final canal shall have been completed. -Costa
Rica, it will be rec illected,.first ratified this contract
and her assent to the amendments made by Nicaragua
will, therefore, be necessary before it can take effect.
From what is known, it is not probable that she will
acquiesce. The American Government has accepted the
convention negotiated by. Minister LaMar, which con-
tains the principle§ of the Cass-Yrissarri treaty, but
dissents from the anti-filibuster clause as unnecesary:
Of this the government of Nicaragua will
.at once
be informed.- Gen. Jerez, ,who left Washington. for
Nicaragua in the steamer of the sth of June, is, con-,
fident that when this fact is communicated, an extra
session of . Congress will forthwith be called to act
upon , the. subject, and that they will strike out the
objectionable clause... The last steamer brought to.
Mr. Jerez full authority to take measures for the
reopening of the transit as , soon as practicable, and
on reasonable and on liberal terms. He indulges in:
the hope that he will be enabled to enter into mutu-
ally satisfactory arrangements in the.course of.a few
days.- r From what has already transpired there can.
be.dittle if any doubt .of his . success. He expresses
himself both satisfied with,the views and feelingsyof
this administration towardi.'..:Nicaragua. In. his
absence Signor Molino, the .oosta Rican Minister,
will have:charge of Nicaraguan affairs at Wa3hington.
No particular importance is
.attached to the re-
ported Walker filibuster movenaent, on Nicaragua.
The United States as well as British national vessels
are in sufficient. force in that quarter
,to intercept-
expeditions, if any, are contemplated. ,
The War.Pepartment has been informed'. by Briga-
dier GenerAl Clark, in a letter dated Los Angeles,
May 2nd, of the Complete success of Lieutenant
Colonel, Hoffinanis expeditiorLagainst the Mohave
Indians.. • r, . •

The ,President had left Washington for North
Carolina. Before leaving, in alluding to the, charge
that his visit to North Carolina was with a view to
a nomination for a second term, he said, that nothing
was further from his intention than this, and he
would avail himself of the first opportunity to dis-
abuse the minds of those who suspected him of
having any design •to become a candidate for re-
election to the Presidency.

The miscellaneous news by this arrival does not
contain • any items of the least interest to European
readers.

We have Texas papers to the 22nd May. The
Galveston' News, of the 214 instant, says :—" Night
before last the clothing store of Mr. T. 0. Wilson,
'on the Strand, was entered by some adroit thieves,.
and clothing, to the amount $l,OOO to $1,200 taken.
.The villains, are most likely: supplied with• false keys,
and there is reason to believe there is arconfederated
band ofthetnin or abbot our city." The Houston Tele-
graph, of the 20th, in its weekly commercial-review,
says 0 ciraceounts from 'the interior are decidedly
more flattering than:: two weeks since. On the sth
inst. a-rain fell all over the State, which
.appeared to
be heaviest Where most needed, in the northern and
westward sections. • The' crops which escaped frost
is. very. for Ward. Corn in many placeS is already 'in
silk and tassel, and the rain was sufficient to secure
a good yield: Cotton also is fast approaching 'the
blooni, and appears about three weeks more forward
than last. year. • The crops that were cut down by
the frost have been replanted, and the replant is doing
finely. There was plenty of time for it to mature,
and the prospect yet is that Texas will make this
year a larger 'eropthan 'ever before. The sugar cane
of the lower country is also promising finely. " The
rain was...of sufficient . amount to cause a temporary
rise in the rivers, which enabled some of the steamboats
to move; lint the water has again receded; and there
is now little hope that- the cotton which has been
hauled to the' river, banks can be. -got to market but
by waggons." The Austin Intelligeneer, of the 18th,
has:the following news from-the frontier:—" We learn
that. James M. Sivisher has just returnsd from the
salt works', and reports that -the greatest excitement
preVairs on the frontier, and the people are aiming
to join. Capt. 'Baylor, who attacked the Upper
Reserve. ~A-petition was in circulation calling upon
Capt.. John -S. Ford, who unites the qualities of a
soldier and7civilia.n, to run for. Governor."
