ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC.

By the arrival of the steamer Pacific, at Liver-
pool, we have advices to the 26th ult. She has
brought $587,000 in specie on freight.
The steamer Washington, from Bremen and
Southampton, arrived at New York on the 24th
ultimo.
The packet ship Constellation arrived at New
York, from Liverpool, on the 25th ult., and was
placed in quarantine, having a large number of
passengers laid up with cholera. 100 passengers
died on the passage.
The Hibernia, also from Liverpool, lost 33 pas-
sengers from the same disease.
A Special Cabinet Meeting had been held at
Washington on the 25th, when the President's
message was read over for the first time.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald says, "It is understood that the estimates
which will be presented to Congress will show a
material reduction over those presented last year."
A good deal of feeling had been experienced at
Washington, at the bad taste of Mr. Crampton, at
Jullien's Concert, remaining seated whilst " Hail,
Columbi 1" was being played, the rest of the
audience having risen from their seats.
The news from Europe per Canada had depressed
the New York stock market. Most descriptions
of stock declined. No change in the money mar-
ket. Exchange on London, 1091 to 1091 ; Paris,
5.11/ to 5.13/ ; Amsterdam, 411 to 41g- ; Ham-

CORN EXCHANGE.

- - -
A very limited supply of English wheat was on offer in
to-day's market ; yet, as the attendance of buyers was
small, the demand ruled heavy, at Monday's decline in the
quotations.
With foreign wheat we were fairly supplied. All de-
scriptions met a very dull inquiry, at barely stationary
prices. In floating cargoes next to nothing was doing.
Earley and malt, the supplies of which were tolerably
good, sold heavily, at Monday's price 3.
Oats, beans, and peas commanded very little attention.
The flour trade was dull, and the top price of the best
town-made was 70s. per 280 lbs., being a fall of ss. com-
pared with last week.

BRITISH NORTH AMERICAN BANK.—An extraordinary
general meeting of the proprietors of this company was
held yesterday at 7, St. Helen's-place, Mr. Gillespie in
the chair, for the purpose of electing a director in the
room of 'Mr. Dowie, deceased. The chairman, after
passing a warm eulogy on the memory of his late friend
and co-director, Mr. Dowie, proceeded to propose Mr.
Francis Le Bretton as a gentleman in every respect
highly qualified for filling the vacant directorship,
from his status, experience, and intimate knowledge of
Transatlantic business. The motion was unanimously,
agreed to, after which the proprietors adjourned to dis-
cuss matters of a private nature.
BURGLARIES IN THE CITY.—The burglaries and rob-
beries that have been committed within the City since •
the dark evenings have set in, have been much more nu-
merous, and the plunder carried off of greater value than •
those that have been brought under the notice of the police s
for some years. From information received by the au-
thorities of the City police, the detective officers and
reserve men of the force are engaged in tracing the per- 5
petrators of no fewer' than four burglaries, the whole of Siut
which, it is strongly suspected, were committed by the 'V,
same gang, on whose track the officers engaged in the
St
pursuit and recovery of the property believe themselves
to be close. It is, however, certain that they have ob- 25
Bookc kt lecgoowohfpuet
sy,srseeo mostr
ihmgsohelhdta,
tamed a clue to their whereabouts, which, if followed up
with caution, may be the means of breaking up as des- 25
perate a troop of bandits as ever laid a town under forced 25
contributions, and who, it is believed, effected the nu- 100
merous burglaries and robberies (principally at watch- _
makers and silversmiths) last winter. In consequence ,V,
of the deep cunning of the persons whom the police are '.l,
in quest of, no specific information can be obtained, the -4-f.
police being aware, that on the slightest publicity being i`i
given, the parties implicated, having plenty of funds at si
their disposal, would at once evacuate the metropolis,
and so delay, if not defeat, the ends of justice. S
SALE or COPYRIGHTS, &c.—yesterday Mr. Hodgson,
the auctioneer of Fleet-street, concluded an extensive
important sale of literary property, comprising nearly half a million 1
volumes, and the copyrights and stereotype plates of
