The Royal mail steam-ship America, from Liver-
pool, arrived at Halifax on the 11th inst.
There was no news of importance from Washing-
ton. The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald, writing on the 11th, says :
" I understand the Government, upon the representa-
tion of Dr. Black, has determined to despatch the sloop
of war Cyane, Captain Holmes, immediately, as a part
of the home squadron, to Caledonia Bay, to convey a
surveying party, under the command of Lieutenant
Strain, United States' Navy, for the purpose of making
a thorough survey of the route from Caledonia Bay to
San Miguel, in order to settle the question definitely as
to the practicability of the proposed oceanic ship com-
munication between the Atlantic and Pacific. This is
done on the part of the Government, without reference
to the execution of the work by any particular company,
but as a subject deeply affecting our own commerce and
the defence of our Pacific States."

Kingston (Jamaica) advices of the 3d inst., state
that the question of import duties remained unset-
tled. The House of Assembly had deferred the
Passing of the bill until the committee appdinted
to consider the propositions of the Colonial Secre-
tary with regard to a responsible Government shall
have made their report ; but in the meantime, and
iu order to prevent the further loss of revenue, the
house has adopted a resolution similar to one
acted upon in 1849, declaring that the duties to be
levied under the Import Bill, when passed, shall
have effect on and from the 3d of November inst.
i ,
n accordance with the last existing tariff. Business
matters, as may be anticipated, had not improved
under these circumstances. Indeed, so little confi-
dence is placed in the permanency of fiscal legisla-
tion in the colonies, and especially at this juncture,
that no purchases on speculation or. to any extent
can be effected:- The- weather was fearfully hot in
the island, but the public health continued pretty
good, although some cases of fever had appeared.
Supplies of imported goods continued generally
ample. Exchange on London, 90 days, 1 per cent.
premium ; 60 days 1 per cent.; 30 days 2 per
cent. premium.
Our advices from Valparaiso are to the Ist, and
Callao to the 12th ult.
Business was brisk in Valparaiso, and several
vessels had arrived from England and the United
States. English coals had been $2O per ton. Cop-
per scarce and no nitrate of soda offering. Freights
had advanced, the following being the last prices
paid :—Guano to London, 4/. ; silver ore to Liver-
pool, 5/. per ton.
In Peru all was quiet, and there appeared no
likelihood of a war with Bolivia. Two expeditions
had started for the Amazon gold regions, but,
owing to the bad management of the arrangements
of the expedition, much hardship was suffered.
From Bolivia the accounts were cheering. In
the interior there appeared to be plenty of money
and promptitude in payments. A serious dispute
had taken place between the clergy and the civil
authorities in Los Andes, Ecuador. The Governor
having summoned the curate in a civil suit, the
latter refused to appear, whereupon he was ar-
rested and sent to the capital of the province. The
Archbishop of Santiago immediately issued an
order suspending the administration of all sacra-
ments throughout the department of Los Andes
until the Governor is removed.

At the departure of the Arctic business had as-
sumed a more healthy aspect, and the tightness in
the Money Market was less severe than reported in
previous advices. Stocks were higher and firmer,
their former unsteadiness having disappeared.
The cotton market was quiet, but firm. The re-
ceipts at the various ports were very moderate, and
far below the average of last season.
The advices from this country and the conti-
nent, taken out by the America, had a marked
effect on the market for bread-stuffs, and caused a
decided rise to take place in the value of the diffe-
rent articles embraced under this head. Large
sales were effected at the advance.

The provision market continued to exhibit the
same quiet character it has maintained of late,
with prices unchanged from last quotations.,
Freights were inactive at the following -quota-
tions :—London-- flour per bol. 4s. 6d. to ss. ; grain
per bush., 16d. to 161 d.; beef per tierce, 7s ; to-
bacco per blid., 60s. To Liverpool—cotton, 7-32 d.
to id. per lb. ; flour per brl., 3s. 9d. ; grain per
bush., 12121 to 13-id.
Exchange on London was quoted at 109 to 1091 ;
Paris, 5.12 k to 5.15.
