14th inst. Sjie has 200,000 dollars in specie on
freight.
The Asia sailed from her dock shortly after noon
on the 12th, but afterwards came to anchor, and
remained till the 14th, at 8 a.m., when she pro-
ceeded on her voyage. She has brought papers to
the latter date.
The steam-ship America, with the mails of the
25th ult., from Liverpool, arrived at Boston on
the 10th inst.
The United States mail-steamer Baltic, which
left Liverpool on the 29th ult., arrived at New
York on the. 11th instant.
The new Cunard steamer Arabia, which sailed
from Liverpool on the Ist, put into Halifax on the
13th inst., short of coals.
The United States mail-steamer Humboldt,
which sailed from Cowes on the 25th ult., arrived
at New York on the 10th inst.
Her Majesty's sloop-of-war Amphitrite was at
Acapulco on the 30th of December, and was to sail
immdiately with 800,000 dollars in specie for
England.
The caloric ship Ericsson had had another trial
trip, with a large party of scientific gentlemen on
board. The trip was in every way satisfactory.
She went a distance of 18 miles, with and against
the tide, in two hours and a half, the engines only
working at half speed.
New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and a large
aeetion of the United States, had been visited by
vefy"i'eirere Sitoltailtims;-nnd,*-in some places, snow
had fallen to the depth of several feet. The de-
tention of the mails and steamers was very general,
many of which were considerably overdue at the
different ports.
The United States Senate had been occupiel
with the discussion of the Clayton and Bulwer
treaty. The President was requested to transmit
all correspondence between Mr. Lawrence, late
Minister at the Court of St. James's, and the
British Government in regard to Central America,
and particularly any correspondence relating to the
claims of Great Britain to the Mosquito Coast, or
any portion of the territory of Honduras or
Yucatan.
The Kaine extradition case had again been before
the United States Supreme Court. Attorney-
General Crittenden stated that he had examined
the law applicable to the case, and had come to
the conclusion to take no active part in it, con-
sidering that the duty of the Executive only com-
menced when the crimi ality of the accused was
legally established and the warrant issued. Mr.
Busteed appeared for Kaine, and, no counsel ap-
pearing for the defence, he asked the advice of the
Court what course to pursue. Chief Justice Taney
said the Court would leave it to the discretion of
counsel to take such course as they deemed proper.
Mr. Busteed said that, in order that the Court
might have the case fairly before them, in the
absence of counsel for the defence, he would put
the Court in possession of all the arguments which
had been adduced on the opposite side, which he
did, and then proceeded with his argument for
Kaine. Mr. Brady followed, concluding the case
for Kaine.
The Panama, Herald of December 25 contains
the following interesting information relative to one
of the expeditions sent in search of Sir John Frank-
lin, for the safety of which considerable anxiety
was beginning to be felt, as no intelligence had been
received of it for a considerable time :
" The friends of Captain Collinson, of her Britannic,
Majesty's ship Enterprise, will be delighted to hear that
he has been seen by some American whalers. This offi-
cer, it will be recollected, went in search of Sir John
Franklin and his party, and was supposed to have been
lost, as he had not been heard of for nearly two years."
There were 100 whalers at Honolulu, of which
only one was English.
A telegraphic dispatch from Baltimore states that
New Orleans papers were received there on the
13th, containing the details of the news received
from Tampico to the 27th ult.
"Among the leading officers of the regular Mexican
army who had pronounced in favour of the revolutionists,
were Colonels Casanova, Cruz, and Tenorio.
"The papers are filled with accounts of pronuncia-
mientos, and El Tamaulipeco confidently pronounces the
Government of Arista deemed.
"Juan Jose de la Garza; Provisional Governor of
Tamaulipas, publishes an address in which he justifies
the revolution.
" Colonels Mejia and Vega had joined the revolution-
ists, and within a, few days a force of 1,500 men would
be organised under the command of those chiefs, which
would march to occupy San Luis and other States of the
interior."

IPuebla ; thence to the city of Mexico ; thence to Aca-
pulco ; from there to the city of San Francisco, where I
have been working five or six months. I had about 75
dole. when I arrived here. I worked for the proprietors
of the Jackson House, the Hotel Nueva Mondo, and the
Laguna. This is the first time Lever was in prison, and
never wronged any man of one dime. The money found
on me was my own."
A San Francisco paper of the 15th of December!
contains the following in relation to the fertility o
the soil in that country :
"The opinion is quite prevalent in the States that the
resources of California consist almost entirely in her
mineral wealth, and that but a small portion of the
State is adapted to cultivation. There is no greater'
error than this. So far from the soil being as barren

and sterile as it has been represented to be, nearly the
whole State possesses a wonderful fertility and adaptation
to easy cultivation. To be sure, much of the country in
the latter part of the dry season appears to be incapable
of producing anything, yet this very same soil, if sowed
with wheat or barley soon after the rains set in, yields
the most wonderful crops."
Very little business has been transacted in the
San Francisco markets since Last advices. The

money and stock markets were easy, without
change.
By an arrival at New York we have dates from
Valparaiso to the Ist, Callao to the 12th, Payta to
the 15th, and Lobos Islands to the 16th December.
It is stated that Flores was again engaged in get-
ting up an expedition against Escuador, and that

his army this time is to consist of Americans
only, large numbers of whom had already enrolled
themselves in the ranks. Two steamers had also
been purchased for the expedition. A decree had
been published in the Valparaiso, papers, ordering
the new law relative to the duties on the exporta-
tion of silver and copper ores to come into operation
on the 15th January. The duty is 5 per cent. on
silver and copper in bar or ingots, and 5 per cent.
on silver ores, called " frios," and crushed ores in
proportion to the per tentage of metal contained.
The following is a summary of the trade between
Liverpool and South America during the first nine

in business for the supply of goods to the Argentine
