ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA.

The Royal Mail Steamer Asia, Criotein Lott,
arrived here yesterday morning with a week's later
news, forty passengers, and' 017,944 dols. in-specie.
The steamer Kangaroo had arrived at New York,
the North Ameeicaa at Quebec, the 'Europa at
Boston, and the Clyde at,Quebee. The Cireessian
arrived at Portland cn the 30th alt., -and the
Persia at New 'York. There is no political news
of the least importance by this arrival.
A Washington correspondent, writing on the
Ist instant, says—
There are four principal subjects of controversy with
'New Grenada, viz : —l, Indemnity for the injury done
'to our citierns in the Panama riots of April, 18.'A 2. The
-tonnage tax upon Arnericanecommerce. '3. 'The proposed
tax upon correspondence 'crossing tho Isthmus ; and, 4.
The security of the Railroad Transit. Nothing definite
has been setled between Gen. Herren and Gen. Cass
except in regard to the matter of indemnity, upon which.
point a basis of arrangement has been agreed to. The
second and third points are still under discussion. The
fourth. and most difficult Teestion of all, has not yet been
especially dealt with,— indeed, it can namely be said to
have been yet under discussion. The cl 3 stdon of a portion
of the Isthmus to the United States is looked upon as
desirable in many respects,—but tonstitutionsl questions
arise here as to the power of the United S sees to aecuire
any sort of control over it, unless it is to be acquired with
with a view to admission as a state into the Union. These
-are difficulties which do not seem to have presented them-
selves at all to the late Administration, but are urged with
a good deal of earnestness by some et this time. It:is
itnposib e t') foreshadow the result of the negociation, for
the President himself has not yet determined upon the
proper course to ba .pt.rsued ; but, in any event, the sub-
ject will not ha disposed of so speedily as many seem to
have anticipated.
The New York public were quite startled, on fte
4th instant, by the annourecentent that Mrs
Curtri igham alias Burdell, had been re-arrested.
On this occasion she was not charged with murder,
hut with feigning the birth of a child, under the
following circumstances :
For some time 2Ere Cunningham-has given out to the
-world that early in August she expected to be delivered of
a child—the fruit of her union with 'the late Dr. Harvey
Burdell. To attend her in th t interesting situation, she
applied to Dr. Uhl, and, after several visits, the Doctor,
entertaining suspicions as to her really being ektiente,
confided his doubts 'o the District Attorney. An ingenious
pia, was then devised for the detection of the crime, if
any were contemplated. Dr. Uhl returned to Mrs
Cunningham, and, pretending to 'be in her confidence,
drew from her the admission that the projec'ed birth
was a humbug. He, moreover, was offered by her 'l,OOO
-dollars if he would find a newly-born it fent to assist" at
the accouchment. This, under the direction of District-
Atterney Hall, was effectually done On the 3rd instant,
-Mrs. Cunningham received fro-n a house in Elm street the
child of a poor woman in Bellevue Hospital; the "confine-
ment" takes place the same evening according to rule ;
an "accoucheur" (Dr. Ca lin) and a "midwife" are in
attendance; the cries of Mrs C. forced from her by the
"pains of labor," are heard even 'by the neighbours; and
while, with a mother's love, she is fondling her " newly-
born" infant—enter police officers, who change somewhat
the denouement of this curious drama. Mrs Cunningham,
Dr. Catlin, the "aecoucheur," and the " midwife" have all
been arrested on the earge of feloniously pretending that
Mrs. C. had given birth to a child who would be entitled
to iunerit the property of the late Harvey Burdell. It it
proper to add that Mrs. Cunningham persisted in declaring
that the child washer own.
The Washington Union, states that no official
intelligence of the opposition of the Yankton
Indians to the further progress of Colonel Noble's
Wagon-road, expedition has been received at the
Interior Department, and no opposition on the
part of the Indians has been anticipated. Large
sums of money are held in trust by Government
for different Indian tribes. upon which the interest
is paid every year. The Union thinks it unlikely,
under these circumstances, knowing as they do the
power and resources 'of the Government to
punish ahem, that these Indians will organize
a determined opposition to the movements of its
expeditions.
A convention had assembled at Old Point, Va.,
having in view the furtherance of A. Dudley
Mann's pro,;ect for the establishment of steam-ship
lines to Europe and elsewhere, connecting with
southern ports. The at'endance was numerous.
After the organisation, letters were read from a
number of.. distinguished persons, indorsing the
plan strongly.
It is now stated that no opposition will be made
by B;igham Young to the execution of the laws

by the Federa: oAcers. Brigham Young has not
written a letter to the President as was stated, but
-.he sent him a Mormon newspaper, with an article,
infficial of course, marked on the margin, in which
righam's policy is set forth as entirely peaceful
and subordinate to the United States laws.
One of the returned filibusters has detailed the

movements of the evacuating force of Walker from
Riras to Panama., via Costa Rica ; their suffering,
despite the well-meant efforts of Lieut. M'Corkle,
who had them in charge, were, it is said, equal to
any ,ether portion okheir experience in Nicaragua.
Two-thirds of the men who bad arrived at New
York, by the Roanoke, the relater asserts, would
return to Nicaragua if the opportunity should offer.
These last appear to be the best in appearance and
health, of any previous consignment of fillibusters
from Nicaragua.
The coloured people of Brooklyn celebrated the
seventeenth anniversary of the emancipation from
slavery 'of the negroes of British West India, in the
M. E. Church, Bridge-street, on the 3rd inst. The
exercisesconsisted of prayer, songs, and addresses.
The_ atteadnnce was quite large.
The city government of Lawrence, Kansas,
~,appeara to be fully sustained by the people of the
town. We have received the messace of the new
mayor,.Mr.-Blood, who declares his intention of
enforcing the corporation ordinances "firmly, im-
partially and promptly," but eays nothing of the
difficulties wath,'..rovernor Walker.
A London detective arrested an escaped railroad
swindler at•Totvato on the 30th ult. He went out
by the Canadian, and two detetives had since been
on is track.

A dispatch, dated Boston, Ist inst., is to the
following effect. St. Pierre, Miquelon, advices of
the ?.4th ult. states:

The ha.k Monasco, of .Warren, Me., from Gottenburg for
New Yoa, was totally lost near Burin, Newfoundland, on
the 2lst „inst , together with fifty Swedish steerage
-passengers. The captain and his wife, the crew and six
paasengers.Kere saved. The crew and the eim.passengers
were landel:ct St. Pierre, and were sent on to Kew York,
;n the barque,Louis Gillis, by the American Cotral.
We sometimes have to
.go abroad to get home-
,r.ews—for instalre, the following paragraph is pub-
;'fished in the New York papers :
Ptivate adv:ccs from Engtand.are to the effect that the
Britiea Government has agreed to gutrantee 4000 ster-
ling per annum, in addition to to £7,000 granted by
Newfoundland, for direct steam communication between
England and St JoL's, Newfoundland ; and that, as Mr.
Canard declines terminating his mail contract for St. John's
until its expiration in .1,3443, an arrangement will probably
be made with the North Atlantic Steam Company, to run
e, steamer fortnightly between Liverpool and St. Johtes.-
'This, with the mail brought by the Cunari steamers to this
ptitst and thence forwarded to St Johtt's„will give the
Newfoundland eople weekly mails fro'n Liveypool.
The great pr:ze fight between Bradley and '
Raralsins, the Philadelphia pugilists, for $l,OOO
aiide,zame off in Cana,ia. not far fr )m Buffak,, on
Saturday.the dst inst. It lasted 2 hours and 58
minutes, and 1.51 rounds were fought; Bradley
was declared winner. Larne amounts of money
elan (Zed Lands among the "Fancy."
We take the following paragraph from the .:etc
York Time;

Messrs. Notv!snd and Frothingliam, who acquiesced in
the new rrovment, but who were among those who
believed in the more gradual system of reform, have struck
out an independent course in the selection of a crew, and
in the m-),'e of their payment, which seems to have taken
remarkably well. The ship Emerald, of their Liverpool
line of packets, being rev to receive a crew, the agents
ware told to pay as high as 17 dcic. per month if necessary, to
*fee.: to settle the landlord's bills not to exceed a month's
pay, to promise the crew good usage on the voyage,
and the liberty of leaving the ship in Liverpool or remain-
ing by her, just as they cluse, being paid in Liverpool
whatever was their due. The good reputation of Captain
Cook may have had s,me influence upon the sailor, but
there were more than a hundred esplications to ship in
her. Her craw was obt-ined in a da-v ; they all left in
the Ail) f ro,R, the clo.?k, and yesterday she is the
btrow, on the third day, detained by 444 *ads, ftw. giere,

was not a deeertion, or IA 'murmur • heard on beard the
ship. The histazy of this ship's voyage to Liverpool-and
back will throw some lie Lt upon the best modes of employ-
ing and paying seamen.
We have -Bermudra papers of the :21st of •iTuly.
On the morning of the 18th four men of the `?doh
Regiment, at Ge_oegis, attempted to desert in a
sail-boat. Suspi :Acme attached to an American
whaling-schooner: Mtn lying in tie harbour, as
privy to the movement, and an embargo was put
upon her sailing for that day. On the Mb. the
boat was discovered twenty miles off, mastless,
and tossing on the waves, and was purssaea and
captured. The deserterssurrendered quietly.
The 'Gommission•er of Indian Affairs had received
the monthly reports of the Indian Agents, Labodi
and Carson. These reperts are made out for the
:month of May. Agent Labodi writes, under date
of Abiquia Agency, May 431. that
During the mouth oritlay no depredations had been
committed by the Indians under his charge. The pending
diE.culties between the "Navajos and the Capote Utahs
had -compelled the latter to remain within the vicinity of
that agency. The Cepote Utahs were in ea very destitute
condition ; their horses were ex reeaely poor, the Navajos
having driven them from good pasture. The Jicarilla
Apaches were peaceable and were working their fields.
These Indians were daily manifesting the interest they
feel in agriculture. Some of them had planted in the
vicinity of the Rio Oso, and others en the La Guava, the
'former distant aboat -30 miles from the Agency and the
latter about 23.

nAgent Carson, under date of Utah Agency, June
writes that

A large number of the Maache Malts had visited that
agency during the month of May. Ke had presented to
them such articles as were required by their necessities,
which course seemed to give general satisfaction. Ile had
no doubt but that they would continue frieedly disposed
towards the United States. If depredations were com-
mitted, it would be by the relatives of the Indians killed
'by a Mexican, in February last. The agency had been
visited daily by Jicarilla Apaches, who appeared to be
contented. The agency had bat little doubt of their
friendship.
Advices from the city of Mexico, to July 17. by
the Texas, at New Orleans, brings intelligence of
the probable election of General Comonfort to the
Presidency. ,So far as received, the returns were
favourable to him. The alarm arising from the
apprehension of a war with had become
serious. A circular letter on the subject had been
addressed by the Secretary of the Interior to the
Governors of the several States, who are requested
to hold the detachments of the National Geird in
readiness for service. In case of a war, General
Comonfort will assume the command of the army,
while Senor 'Juarez will act as President.
