AMERICAN Nii,WS.

The accounts from New York this week contain
nothing of material importance. The recent rise in
the rate of exchange had not been fully maintained,
and the shipment of specie, which had seemed
about to recommence, had consequently again been
checked. Money was more abundant than ever,
and 4 per cent. was now the highest rate to be ob-
tained for loans at call. The stock market, never'
thelese, was on the average a shade lower, being
partly influenced by the flood of railway bonds
which still continued to be poured upon it. The
better descriptions of these bonds were realii9
.
taken, hut the necessity for caution, with regard to
the m jority, was daily becoming more evident. AU
sorts of petty towns and counties were pledging,
their faith for the payment of the interest, and,
already the constitutionality of some of their pr.-
ceedings had become a matter of dispute and litige
tion. The increasing demand for channels of invest-
ment was likely, however, to overcome all other ens'
siderations, and the mere sound of a "guarauteern°
matter how worthless, serves in the United States,
as on this side, to entrap many who would hesitate
to enter into the most legitimate enterprises that ba
nothing but their intrinsic goodness to recour
mend them. During the week there had been
two fsilures of mercantile firms, the Fell
being Dunscomb, Cook, and Co., of New York, an,
Johnson and Travers, of Baltimore, both in the Soul
American and West India trade. There was nothing
lexpected shortly, and if it should bring

April. They confirmed the rejection of the
huantepec treaty, and stated that on the dai/
following the vote on that question M. Larreinza''

States, had left the capital,

in order to • la
I the glia
Congress nothing like real businessliof
seemed practicable. It was thought, however, that
the basis of some reform in the tariff ht mig possiblybe arranged, although the removal of- the 10°;
bitory duties would be refused. The Senate, I,:
appears, are favourable to a general -reduction of 10
per cent. The foreign representatives in Alexia'
were still in communication with Senor Ramirez,
the Minister of Relations, on the subject of their,
protest against the exceptional lowering of the
tariff at the port of Matemoras, to the injury of the
importing merchants at Tampico and Vera Crule
They had notified to the Minister their intention
to persist in demanding an equalization, and tbst
they would not put up with delay. If their repro'
sentations were longer neglected serious difficulties
might therefore arise, while, on the other hand, 0,7
the position of the Government was a perplexingl;

With regard to the existing state of the frontier; 'ho
accounts were far from satisfactory. Carvajel•.l4
was lately arrested by the United States' authollt
and put through the ceremony of giving bail, vict;
now reported to be again reorganizing his Pwje be
of invasion. According to some accounts
had gone up the Rio Grande with the remains of
riici
forces to form a junction with " Colonel For

the interior of Texas," and 300 GerEll-ihe
Meanwhile he is said to have sold his lands ft:lwo
neighbourhood of the frontier to "an Amer -die
Company" for 200,000 dolls. Numerous other '.°116
cations also show that operations will long Onetitbe
to be carried on similar to those which precede" 0,
annexation of Texas. The lawless Mexicans reiee

and murders, professing to act under orders no

Mackworth, the Government inspector, read an able rePber,
in which he remarked that the loss of 159 lives in the A Or

The Coroner having summed up, the jury, after a lenfP'sseol
deliberation, returned the following verdict :—" In the,,, Ib,l
Thomas Prichard we find a verdict of Accidental JJ-4, tite
and we are of opinion that the Middle Duffryn pit was at but

that a fall in No. 2 cross heading to the dip produced a ": to
