A ERICA.

The United States mail steam-ship Humboldt,
Captain Lines, from New York, en route for Havre,
arrived off Cowes yesterday morning, and after
transhipping her English mails and passengers to
the small steamer awaiting her arrival, at oucc left
for France. _

The Humboldt left New York on the 15th inst.,
consequently brings only one day's later news than
the Asia.

The Humboldt brings 45 passengers, and specie
to the amount of 260,000 dols. for France.
The mail had arrived at Baltimore from New
Orleans, with papers containing later news from
Mexico. It appears that no determination has been
arrived at in regard to the Tehuantepec question.
The rumours that were current in the city of
Mexico, relative to the revolutionary movements
in the State of Vera Cruz, had caused the office of
the telegraph company to be filled with people de-
sirous of learning the truth, but the wires were
cut, and no communication could be had with the
coast.
The news of the revolution in Tamaulipas had
reached Mexico. Also the imprisonment of Car-
denas. The Siglio says it caused but little excite-
ment, being regarded merely as a local question.
No new Minister of Foreign Affairs had been
appointed; the Senate had passed a bill granting an
amnesty to parties implicated in the revolutionary
nloYerne,ut of Itebolleclo.the Innate a the ara-

cash

nesty to be extended to all pronunciamentos who
lay down their arms within a certain time.
The health of Charleston is improving. There
were only eleven deaths from cholera last week.
The revenue of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
for December shows an increase of 55,0001. over
the corresponding month last year, owing to the
increased transportation of coal.
The Erie Railroad was clear of snow, and the
cars running.
The Arabia left Halifax for Boston on the 14th
instant, having taken in a sufficient quantity of
coal.

The Hon. William Upham, one of the United
States senators from the State of Vermont, died at
Washington on the 14th instant.

MARKETS.

NEW YORK, JAN. 15.—There was a slightly increased
inquiry for money. to-day on call, but the general rate
was six per cent. Exchange keeps down, and bills are
at 109 k to 1091.
Ashes are in better demand at very full rates. Pots
at $4 621 c., and Pearls at $5 75c. per 100 lbs.
Coal.—No change of interest has occurred in An-
thracite. Some 120 chaldrons Sydney fetched $6 75c.

Cotton is without alteration. The unfavourable ad-
vices received per Arabia have made no impression upon
the trade here. Though the demand is not very exten-
sive, it is relatively in excess of the receipts, and conse-
quently sustains prices.
NEW ORLEANS, JAN. 14.—The Arabia's news, which
left New York by the O'Reilly line at half-past eight
o'clock, was received here at nine o'clock last evening.
Cotton has not yet experienced any effect from it, but
buyers are holding off. Sterling exchange is down to 74c.
to Bc. per cent., the latter for fancy signatures. Freights
are firm at id. to Liverpool. The weather is fine and
the city healthy.—Nine, p.m. : Cotton firm and active
since the reception of the Arabia's news, which was more
favourable than was anticipated. The sales of the week
have been 66,000 bales. Increased receipts at all south-
ern ports over last year, 456,000.
CHARLESTON, JAN. 12.—A short supply of cotton has
excited the market.
