THE UNITED STATES.

SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 1.
The United States mail steam-ship Washington, Cap-
tain Fitch, arrived at Cowes this morning, on her way to
Breinen, for which place she started immediately after
transhipping her English mail and passengers for this
place.

The Washington left New York on the 18th. Her
news is conseqUently three days later than that pre-
viously received per Arabia, at Liverpool.
Nothing of importance had transpired since the last
advices.

The Asia steam-ship had arrived out, after a good
passage, from Liverpool.
The ship Gondar, loading for Liverpool, was burned
at her wharf, at Charleston/ on the 16th, and 1,800
bales of cotton and 37.5 barrels of resin destroyed. The
ship and cargo were insured in Liverpool,
Great. consternation had been caused at New Orleans
in consequence of an insurrectionary attempt on the part
of the neg,rroes to rise upon. the white populatien. A man
of the name of Dyson, an Englishman, was at the head
of the movement. For a year past he has been teaching
a school of negro children: He was accused two years
ago of hoarding a negro criminal, and was imprisoned
several months. has been arrested -on this charge,
and is in prison. If the offence is proved against him,
the penalty will be very severe—probably death.
Later advices from Texas state that the Wachiti
Indians had murdered ai.l but one of the persons be.
longing to a surveying party under Mr. Hubert, on the
Red River.

It was said that several cases of Asiatic cholera had
occurred in Alexandria Valley.
Advices from Cuba state that several thousand slaves
had been lanled on the island.
The Maine Liquor Law had passed the Senate.
The Gavazzi riots have attracted the attention of the
Canadian Parliament. On the 13th inst. a petition was
received from sundry Protestants of the city of Quebec,
praying that they may be,made secure in the observance
of religious worship, and that the city municipality may
be rendered responsible for all damages occasioned by
breaches of the peace. Mr. Stewart, by whom the peti-
tion was presented, introduced a bill to provide a remedy
against the corporation of Quebec, and for assuring its
citizens against destruction of property by mobs. The
bill was read for the first time, the second reading
having been set down for Monday.
THE FRENCH AND THE NORTHERN FISHERIES.-011
the 18th of May a French cutter from Miquelon,
mounting six guns, made her appearance in the Bay of
St. George, on the coast of Newfoundland, where about
40 British vessels from Prince Edward's Island, Nova
Scotia, and New Brunswick, were engagaged in herring
fishing. The Frenchman ordered them all to leave im-
mediately, threatening to fire upon them if they refused,
and they were thus driven away, leaving their nets be-
hind them, and without wood or water. Of course
their owners complain loudly, and demand reparation.
As no objection has hitherto been made to the British
fishing upon that part of the coast, this act of the
Frenchman, unless misstated, is a sheer piece of folly.
It must be borne in mind, however, that the treaty of
1763, confirmed by the treaties of 1814 and 1815, by
which Great Britain ceded to France, along with the
isles of St. Pierre and Miquelon, certain fishing rights,
has been denounced by the Newfoundland people them-
selves, on more than one occasion, because, as they
alleged, those rights were exclusive as to the parts of
the coast between Cape Ray and Cape John. In adopt-
ing and carrying out their own interpretation of the
treaty, the captain of the cutter, or those under whose
authority he acted, may have shown, and probably did
show, great want of judgment ; but it is not likely any
rigid accountability will be insisted on by those who,
in advance, settled the principle against themselves.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

transactions were longer than usual. Reading Railroad

quotations.
Ashes were fairly dealt in. Flour active and buoyant.
Hides have somewhat declined in price. Butter plenty.
Sugars active.
