ARRIVAL: OF THE KANGAROO.

The Liverpool and Philadelphia Steam ship Com -
paety's steamer Kangaroo, Capt. Ewing, which
sailed from New York on the 6th instant, has
arrived, bringing 160 passengers, and specie on
freight amounting to 51,006 dollars. She makes
the following report :—On the 6th of August
passed the Argo (s ), hound west.; on the same
day met the Ericsson (s.), bound inward ; on the
Dth, lat. 42.32, long. 62.19, passed the City of Balti-
more (s s ), bound west ; on the 14t.h, let. 50,45,
long. 37.12, passed the Bremen ship Caledonia,
bound west ; on the 15th, lat. 31.00, long. 26 30,
passed the British barque Sarah, from Quebec.
The news is only one day later, and does not
possess any intelligence of interest.
The New York money market was unchanged.
There were some indications of the approaching
fall trade, and the tendency of discount was up-
wards. in consequence of the expected increased
demand during August. Exchange on London
'remained as advised per the Asia. The Persia's
talvices were considered favourable for cotton,
and prices had advanced ri with moderate sales.
Most descriptions of flour were firm, except the
higher grades, which were drooping in price.
`Wheat was steady, hut Indian corn had an
-upward tendency. The Provision trade was firm,
'particularly beef, in which large sales were made
'at better rates Freights were dull, but not lower.
Rumenrs were afloat in New York that certain
British officers were again enlisting soldiers in
that city for the war in India.
An insane mother at Rochester had attempted
to murder her three children by poring hot water
'in their ears.
It appears That numbers of Baigham Yortng's
followers in -Utah were deserting him and 'hying
to 'Kansas.
It is said that a treaty arrangement is under
consideration between Lord Napier and 'General
"Cass, for the final settlement of the Central Ameri-
can question.
Governor Walker was still encamped at Fort
Lawrence ; his force had been increased.
The New Yurk city supervisors had completed
the tax levy for 1857. It toots up 8,166:566 (leis 52e..
being an increase over last year of a million of dol-
lars. The levy for 1854, the year before M iyor
Wood came into office, was 4,841,255 dollars bac
During his first year it went up a million.; the
next year a million and a quarter more, and this
year another million. The rate of taxation in 18b4
was 1.05 ; is 1857 it is 1 53.
Cur telegraphic despf tches from the We stern
elections are more meagre than they would have
been but for the prevalence of tempestuous
• weather. We infer from their tenor, however., that
Missouri has been carried by the Slave Democracy,
as we anticipated, and that the proposed new
conwitutien of lowa has been defeated by a close
vote, the all-potent cry of " Ni ;get" having p roved
too strong for it. Further advises may change
these conclusions, but we do not regard this as
probable. In Kentucky the Slave Democracy
appears to have made a clean sweet, electing
seven, and probably eight, out of ten representa-
tives, as well as the state treasurer. Alabanoa is,
• of course, border ruffian.
According to the New York Tribune, the new
developments in the Burdell case are likely to lead
to some new inquiries—at least to some newsuspi-
cions—as to the previous historyof that rematkable
affair. Hitherto it has been assumed by many
persons that the failure to identify Eckel as the
party married to Mrs. Cunningham tends strongly
to prove the reality of her marriage with Dr.
• Burden. Recent occurrences will perhaps lead to
the suspicion that Mrs. Cunningham might have
been assisted in that matter from another quarter,
and possibly may even point suspicion to new
parties as implicated in the murder. It is by no
means impcssible that the whole mystery may yet
be unravelled. Dr. Catlin, who was arrested with
Mrs. Cunningham, on Monday night, turned
State's evidence, and exposed the fictitious birth
at No. 31, Bond-strt et.
A telegraphic despatch, dated New Orleans,
Aug. 5, says:—The Tehauntepec Company pub-
lishes a card this morning, announcing its dissolu-
tion. The causes stated are, inability to arrange
with the owners of the G,irray Grant, the impossi-
bility of ge ting the mail contract, and the dis-
covery of the fact that the Sloe title is not in this
company. President Lassere, and Messrs. Ben-
jamin and Soule left for Mexico by the last
steamer to make new arrangements.
General Cass had frequent interviews with Lord
e Napier relative to the China war, the African Slave
'Trade, the slaver Panchita, and the abolition of
Privateering. Upon all these subjects save the
last, -there is substantial agreement between
the two governments, and in relation to
Privateering, the United States declines to limit or
qualify its right to use its maritime militia in time
of war to its own best advantage.
The suspension of the Northern Wagon Road
Expedition from Fort Ridgeley to the South Pass,
under Colonel Nobles, was expected from the very
hostile demonstrations made by the Yancton and
other Indians at Yellow Medicine Agency. Accord-
ing to the newspaper accounts, Colonel Nobles
proposes to hold a talk with these Indians on the
-.2oth of August. This, according to the New York
Courier.and Enquirer, would be injudicious.
Several companies of U.S. troops should at once be detailed
to precede hire on the route., and to punish the savages who
threaten obstructions The reason alleged by the Indians
for opposing the expedition is a good one, if the Indians and
not white men are to inhabit that country hereafter. If
the Indian can only live upon .his wild hnnting ground,
he must have buff de, and the buffalo will certainly be
-driven off by. waggon roads- White men cannot live
„without roads. It is, therefore, the duty of the govern-
Anent to extinguish the Indian title in the region traversed
by the proposed line of explora"ion, and assign to its pre-
-aent iehabitantseresetvations upon which they can live in
wanner consistent wi h the senvecience and safety of
the
.conquering race.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW YORK, AI7G. 6.

have no marked charges in the Money Market to
report. There are Lorne Flight indications.of the coming Fall
trade, and the tendency of discount rates is upward, partly in
conseqnence of expected inereas?d demand .during the rest of
the month. We may reascnabty exp,ct some stringency in
consequence of the wants of the South and West for money
in payment of the cotto t and grain crops. And it must be
noticed that the banks are not in a condition to withstand a
heavy drain of specie to the interior withuuta,cartailment of
discounts.

Corrorr.--,The market has ,not fully opened under the
Persia's news; holders generally ask•aa advance, but there has
.not been anything done to show a char.ge in quotttion.. The
export since 27th July, has been 4,494 bale., of which 3,046
;went to Liveri»cl, and 1,448 to Havre. We quote:—
