consideration, that the sloop Improvement, of Brookhaven,
was in sight of the burning steam-boat the whole time
of the conflagration. That the bands on deck, on
seeing the flames, west below, and called up the
captain, ;who was in his berth. He came on deck ;
said it must be a steam-boat, and then turned in again. It
is painful even to relate such an instance of brutal indif-
ference to human suffering. We learn, besides the passen-
gers whose names we have already published, that among
them is Mr. John Marshall, a glass-blower, who has left a
wife and three children.
Now YORK MONEY NIARKET, JAN. 17.—There was a
tolerably large business done in Stocks to-day, but prices '
receded, with the exception of United States' Bank Shares.
These sold at the first hoard at 841, second at 64k. A
large amount of certified sterling Bank Bills was sold at
7 per cent. premium ; other descriptions were disposed of
at 1 per cent. less, and in some instances still lower, yet
the latter were of drawers not sufficiently known. It is
difficult to give quotations now, as they take so wide a
range accordiug to the character of the paper On Paris
nothing has been done. Amsterdam. 39 to :394- ; Ham-
burg, 351 to $5-; and Bremer, 77 to 78.

STILL LATER FROM THE I_7IcITED STATES.
By the Columbus, Captain Cropper, which arrived in
the Mersey about One o'elock yesterday, New York papers
to the 21st ult. have been received : also Montrenl to the
16th, and Quebec to the 15th ult.
The New York Money Market was good. and prices of
stocks generally had on upward tendency. United Statcl
Bank shares were quoted on the 20th in New York at
84 to 85. The rate of exchange on England had again
declined. and the highest rate quoted is 741.
The Columbus brought but a limited number of pas-
sengers, and no specie.

The Judge of the Court at New Haven, in which the
Africans of the An-iistad were tried, has decided that they
should be consigned to the President of the United States,
with the view of their being sent back to Africa. Had
they been given up to the Spaniards, they would have
suffered death.

Rcsolutiods have been introduced in the Pennsylvania
Legislature, to rogues the Semitois end Representatives
Congress to vote for an increased tariff of duties on all im
ported manufactui es, tor the protection of American in-
dustry, and to prevent the import 3 of the country from ex
ceeding the exports in value.
The British barque John Anderson, from Liverpool,
went ashoreand bilged on the South Breakers, near Charles
ton, on Tuesday last. She was ladec with salt. The crew
escaped,

*lii Congress there has been a lengthened debate en the
Nort Eastern Boundary question. Mr. Ruygles, of Maine,
considers that the President had withheld some of the in-
formation in his possession on that subject, and insists that
the British have actually invaded the territory of Maine.
Mr. Buchanan thought that no censure ought to be thrown
on the President, but feared that difficulties of a most se-
rious and alarming character might grow out of the pre-
sent state of the question with Grcat Britain.
Captain Bailey, of Nantucket, reports having seen two
vessels on fire, a few days since, off the Bermudas, sup.
posed to have been burnt by pirates, as there was a sup.
cious-looking schoancr near them.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

C/TY, TWELVA O'CLOCK.
The Columbus Now York packet snip has arrived in 17 days
at Liverpool, by which papers to the 21st ult. have been re-
ceived, also Montreal papers to the 161,11, and Quebec to the
15th ult. The commercial intelligence by the above papers is
of a satisfactory description. A large business was done in
stocks'pteceding the day of her sailing, but the rate of exchange
on England had fallen to 7!i. United States Bank Shares S4l
a K). The above packet has not brought any specie.

Fr.O"M MEXICO.
(From the New Orleans Vapers, Jan. 3. )
The affairs of tins unfortunate ettoittry arc rapidly advancing
to an important and deThiite crisis. We learn that the aggres-
sion of the Texans and Federalists has all but completely para-
lyzed the energy of the Mexicans ; thev acknowledge that their
'; Exchequer is drained—the national honour tarnished—and
even the very existence of the Republic threatened by a horde
of vile barbarians that acknowledge no country, and know no
law. Abortive efforts are made by the Executive to concen-
trate all the disposable forces of the nation on Tampico and Ma-
. tamoras ; and it is quite probable that the next arrival may
furnish U 9 with an account of a severe engagement. A law,
levying imposts of 35 per cent. bn- all imports, has lately been
proclaimed. Santa Anna was dangerously ill of dysentery about
the beginning of December, but at the last dates he was con-
valescent. Bustamente is still in prison in the capital.
The British Packet Pigeon sailed fram Tanipico en the 10th
of December with 134,1!198 in specie. It appears that the
steamer Lexia gton, which was lost by fire, had on board 122
persons, 87 of whom were passengers, and the remaining 35
composed the crew.

The French Mail has arrived. The Papers of Thursday con-
tain a Telegraphic Despatch from Bayonne, July 1-4
announ-
cing from Madrid, February I,,that the
,Moderate party had
decidedly (that is the Ministers) 144 eleCtiOns, and their adver-
saries 71, and the result of 33 elections were not as vet known.
The only arrival this morning of consequence is the New
1 ork Packet of the 19th ult., sailed on the 20th ult..
