resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro-
duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis-

in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist

treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the
care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated

The latest accoun. from Washington state .
fresh difilculties'. had arisen with regard to the
fishery question... It was believed that the nego-
tiations would be delayed, and that the subject
would not be disposed of before the meeting of
Congress.
The number of deaths in New York during the
week ending the 16th amounted to 564, the greatest
number during the present year.
President Pierce returned to Washington from
the inauguration of the Crystal Palace on the 16th.
Three large tobacco manufactoriesivere destroyed

Montreal and Portland arrived latter place
on the 16th, and was welcomed by a salute of 30
guns.
Our advices from Havannah are to the 12th inst.
The cholera was still carrying off hundreds of
slaves. Its ravages were more fierce on the sugar
estates of Cardenas than in other districts. One
planter, Don Mariano Hernandez had lost 140
slaves by the decease ; and it was said that other
planters had suffered still more severely. All news-
papers, English as well as foreign, were prohibited
circulation in Havannah. The notorious slave-

that

vessel. Lady Suffolk had been captured by her Ma-
jesty's brig-of-war Daring. Three American sea-
men were arrested, and placed in the Moro, on a
charge of being concerned in the slave trade. They
allege that they shipped from the port of New
York in the barque Jasper, which recently landed
a cargo of negroes in Cuba, without knowing her
destination, and that upon learning the nature of
the voyage they desired to leave the vessel, but
were compelled to remain by the balance of the
crew, consisting of Spaniards and Portuguese.
Lieutenant Smith and four seamen of the brig-of-
war Daring were drowned a short time since while
attempting to cross the bar of Tampico in a heavy
norther. Several persons had been killed and a
large number seriously injured by the giving way
of a temporary building on the Havannah race-
course. _

vv
From Kingston, Jamaica, we have advices to
the 27th ult. Legislative proceedings still remained
in state quo. The weekly meetings of the Assembly
were held on Mondays or Tuesdays, on which occa-
sion a quorum of seven, which is sufficient for that
purpose, though not for the transaction of general
business, generally adjourn the house to the net
Monday or Tuesday. Mining operations were still
being prosecuted with vigour. The yellow. fever
was very virulent in Jamaica, notwithstanding that
the weather had become delightfully cool.
Port-au-Prince advices of the Ist inst. state that
the country was quiet. Business was very dull.
Coffee and logwood were scarce ; the former sold
at 150 dols., Haytian currency, per 100 lb., and
the latter at 80 dols. per 1,000 lb.
Accounts from Aux Cayes of the 27th of June
state that the fever still continued to rage there
both on shore and among the shipping in port.
We have telegraphic dispatches from the city of
Mexico to the 4th, and from Vera Cruz to the Bth
inst. The cholera continued to rage at Vera Cruz,
and was on the increase. The black vomit was

also making terrible ravages, and had frightened
the physicians, who were unable to save more than
10 out of 100 patients. Cholera was also very
severe at Jalapa. A decree regulating the or-
ganisation of the Government-Council, composed
of 21 persons, had been published; also one
regulating the interi?r of the national palace.
Santa Anna had taken up his residence at Tucu-
baya, and established telegraphic communication
with the capital. General Parodi had been pro-
moted to the grade of Brigadier-General, in consider-
ation of his services at the battle of Buena Vista.
The Government declared the defence of Lotopingo
by Col. Anastacio Lenecero against the Americans,
on the 20th August, 1847, heroic. A new oath
had been established, which all employees were re-
quired to take. One clause is to sustain the inde-
pendence of the nation and the integrity of her
territory. The Mexican papers are filled with news
as to the filibustering expedition from California
into Sonora, and manifest considerable anxiety in
regard to the matter. Concerning the difficulties
between Mexico and the United States, the Trait
d' Union says—" If war is imminent in Europe, we
think it may be considered equally so, under certain
circumstances, between the United States and
Mexico. The violent language of the official jour-
nal at Washington bodes nothing good." The
dishonouring of the Sloo draughts had created
great distrust in Mexico, and it is said that Senor
Olarte despairs of carrying out the project. The
Isthmus of Tehuantepec had been declared a sepa-
rate territory. Minitillan was to be the capital.
No alteration worthy of notice had taken place
in the New York stock market. Money in good
demand, at 6to 7 per cent. Exchange on London,
log to 1091 ; Paris, sf. 121 c. to Of. 131 c. ; Am-
sterdam, 41 to 41l ; Frankfort, 41 to 41i ; Bre-
men, 791 to 791. Cotton without alteration, hold-
ers and buyers both waiting the Europa's advices.
The new crop is represented as being fully two to
three weeks later than last year, and the plant very-
small. The advices per Franklin caused great ex-
citement in the breadstuff market, and prices ad-
vanced materially. Large sales of flour had been
made at an advance of 2s. to 3s. per barrel ; wheat
had also advanced 3c. to 6c. per bushel, with a
good demand. Indian corn firm ; southern yellow
was worth 71c. per bushel ; western mixed, 68c. to
70c. ; and damaged lots, 63c. to 65c. per bushel.
Provisions in fair demand, at firm prices. Rough
turpentine was selling at 3 dols. 87ie., and spirits
46c. ; rosin without change. Freights to London
firm, at late rates.

La Plata also brings mails from the west coast of
South America, received at Panama by the Pacific
Steam Navigation Company's ship Bogota, which"
vessel had on freight specie value $140,404 for
transmission to England, and dates from Valpa•

nama, July 7.
Among the 73 passenger brought by La Plata
are Commander Reid, R.N., from Jamaica ; Cap-
tain Woolley, of the Royal Mail Steam Company's
ship Parana, invalided from St. Thomas. This gen-
tleman took out the mails from Southampton of
the 2d of July in the Parana, and returns to Eng-
land after a voyage to the West Indies. and back of
only 281 days. Also Captain Studdart, 16th Regi-
ment, from Jamaica ; Mr. Byhan, President of
Antigua ; and Commander Rollé, from the Pacific,
with despatches for the French Government.
The freight list comprises specie from Vera Cruz,
value 73,591 dols. ; from Tampico, 15,684 dols. ;
and for account of the Mexican dividends, 15,655
dols. ; from the Pacific ports, 173,065 dols. ; from
California, 262, 097d015. ; from Carthagena, 38,749
dols. ; from Jamaica, 2,500 dols. ; and from other
parts of the West Indies, 15,305 dols. ; the total
value being 701,576 dols., or say 140,3161. ster-
ling, of which 613,500 dols. is in silver and 88,076
dols. in gold. The cargo consist of plata pina,
value 2,255/. sterling, 241 serons cochineal, six
serons indigo, l 0 serons jalap, 212 serous bark, 66
cases cigars, 156 bales tobacco, 15 casks coffee, 36
bales sarsaparilla, seven live turtle, three cases
tortoiseshell, six cases saccades, 12 packages copper
ore, and 80 packages sundries.
During the stay at St. Thomas La Plata lost four
men by yellow fever, and eight other were left at
the hospital. On the voyage home several cases of
bilious fever occurred, which were successfully
treated. The sixth engineer died of yellow fever
two days after leaving St. Thomas. Mr. Scott, the
surgeon of the ship, had a very severe attack of the
fever, and was in a precarious state at the date of
departure, but has since recoved. His medical
duties on board on the homeward passage were per-
formed by Dr. Baillie, of Demerara, a passenger.

the stipulated time, she has arrived at Southamp-
ton nearly 36 hours before due, and merchants in
London and the manufacturing districts will have
one clear day allowed them for replying to their
correspondence by the outward mails of the 2d inst.
by the Orinoco. A whole month is thus saved in
regard to return mails for the Gulf of Mexico,
while a fortnight is economised in the course of
post between this country and the West India
Islands, the Pacific, and Spanish Main.
From the Gulf of Mexico there is no news of im-
portance. An attempt of General Santa Anna to
incorporate the militia and military into one force
h ad been resistedby the military authorities at Tam-
pico. The United States' steamer Vixen was lying
off Tampico Bar. Strenuous efforts to place the
army in a more efficient state were being made,

service,
Captain Hall, commanding the Pacific Steam
Navigation Company's ship Bogota, reports to us,
under date Panama, 3d of July, the commence-
ment of hostilities between Bolivia and Peru, and
that when his ship called off Cobija on the 19th of
June it was found that the Peruvians had taken
possession of the town several days previously.
The French brig of war Obligado was lying there,
together with the Peruvian war steamer Rimac and
brig Guise. The Peruvian admiral's secretary in-
formed Captain Hall that the town was not under
blockade, and that imports were allowed as for-
merly.
From Jamaica our usual files of journals, as on the
occasion of the arrival of the Orinoco, have entirel3r
miscarried, apparently through the neglect of the per-
sons on board the intercolonial packets at St. Tho-
mas to transfer them. We are informed that the
yellow fever had considerably abated, with little
sickness in the island. Rain was much wanted. A
testimonial signed by most of the merchants of
Kingston had been presented to Commander Reid,
R.N., late in command of the Imaum, on his leav-
ing for England, as an acknowledgment of the
valuable services rendered by him while on the Ja-
maica station. Commander Reid had been re-
cently instrumental in getting off the American
mail steamer Ohio when she ran ashore. The po-
litical situation was unchanged. A new associa-
tion, called the Kingston Commercial Rooms, and
Chamber of Commerce, had been formed. Mining
operations were active, and progressing favourably.
Among the deaths by yellow fever, was Lieuten-
ant Gill, Royal Marines.
This packet brings further accounts of the pro-
gress of the insurrectionary movements in Vene-
zuela. The latest advices state that the city of
Maturin had been taken from the insurgents, or,
rather, that General Sotillo, with 700 cavalry, and
Colonel Antonio, Thomaso Rojas, with a division of
infantry, having made their appearance in the
neighbourhood of Maturin, the insurgents had no
alternative but to retire before so overwhelming a
force. This news was confirmed by the arrival at
Trinidad of Senor Nunez, a member of the Provi-
sional Government, who reported that when he left
Maturin the insurgents in that place had given up
all hope of a successful resistance. General Mona-
gas, with 3,000 men, was marching on Cumana,
to which point the forces under General Sotillo and
Colonel Rojas were also ultimately destined. The
inhabitants of Cumana, who first originated the
revolution, had so thoroughly compromised them-
selves that they had no alternative but to fight it
out or lose all their property. A sanguinary
struggle was therefore immediately inevitable.
Lord Harris, the Governor of Trinidad, had con-
sidered it desirable, under the present aspect of
affairs at La Guyara, which town was in possession ,
of the insurgents, who hourly expected an attack
from the Government authorities, to send a vessel,
specially hired for the purpose (the Pigwidgeon),
with the view of affording to all British subjects
residing in La Guyara, or its environs a safe pas-
sage to Trinidad till the violence of the revolu-
tionary storm should have blown over. The Pig-
widgeon arrived at Port of Spain on the sth of
July with a number of British residents, chiefly
women, and reported that everything was quiet at
La Guyara, the town being still in possession of
the insurgents. General Monagas had reached
Barcelona with 3,000 men, and was expecting fur-
ther reinforcements prior to advancing upon Cu-

mana. sip
The Demerara Royal Gazette thus alludes tothe
insurrectionary movements in Venezuela :---
" The family of the Monagas, who overthrow the
most patriotic of Venezuelian Republicans, Paez, have,
it seems, ever since that revolution in which this was
accomplished, maintained possession of the Government
—one brother on retiring nominating another. The coun-
try has consequently been thepatrimony of a family. The
allegations against the members of the Monagas family
are of the most aggravated description. They are re
presented collectively as being robbers of the public
with nVpeanrteizeuselias
purse, and the authors of every sort of corruption.
