THE UNITED STATES
AND MEXIC_*.

ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

The Royal mail steamer Cambria, Captain C. 11.
E. Judkins, arrived in the Mersey at noon today,
with the mails from the United States, Canada, Nova
Scotia, &c., and about ninety passengers, bringing
fifteen days later news. She left Boston early on the
morning of the 2d instant, having been prevented by
fog from sailing at her usual time, and has therefore
made the voyage in a little over eleven days, including
her calling and stay at Halifax.
Very little progress has been made in Mexican
affairs. The New York Sun says—
" The most discouraging results have followed the
late efforts of the American Pleninotentiary, Mr.
rrist, to negotiate peace. Neither Santa Anna nor
the Congress would take the responsibility of au-
thorisii g the negotiation. Nor would Congress
grant the Dictator the instructions necessary to an
intelligent reply to the overtures of peace presented
by Mr. Trist. On receiving this intelligence Gene-
ral Scott abandoned his procrastinating policy, and
ordered an immediate march from Puebla towards
the capital."
The accounts from General Scott's army at Puebla,
which however are not official, are dated 6th August.
" On the next day General Scott's advance under
General Twiggs was positively to take up its line of
march for the capital. All the reinforcements under
Cadwalladar, Pillow, and Pearce had joined General
Scott, and would swell his numbers to something like
14 to 15,000 men ;. but one-third must be deducted
for necessary garrisons, and for sick and disabled, so
that the marching column will not exceed, if it num-
ber 10,000 men. But it will be a formidable army,
though not numerically large, well equipped, well
provided, and well led. Its success we look upon as
beyond peradventure. We ought to have later intel-
ligence from the seat of hostilities, but the communi-
cations are infrequent and insecure by reason of
guerillas spread along the route from the interior.
" General Taylor makes no movement in the direc-
tion of Potosi, and possibly may not make any. We
have no later or interesting tidings from California or
the Pacific. General Kearney has returned to the
United States."

A considerable sensation had been excited by the
ne.vs that General Paredes had returned to Mexico
under an assumed name. He arrived at Vera Cruz
on the 14th of August, in the British steamer Teviot,
from Southampton. Landing in a small boat, with
the aid of frie Ids on board the steamer and in the
city, he was soon beyond the reach of the American
authorities. His love of monarchical government,
and the enmity existing between him and Santa
Anna, lead to the belief that his arrival will be the
signal for another revolution at the capital, should he
arrive there before General Scott.

The French steamer Missouri, which left Cher-
bourg on the 20th July, reached New York on the
21st August. The Guadalquiver, Captain Hosken,
from Liverpool, August 14, arrived at six o'clock
A.M., 29th instant. The royal mail steamer Cale-
donia, which left here August 19, arrived at Halifax
on the 31st, and was entering Boston as the Cambria
left, early on the morning of the 2.i instant.
LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.—Captain Drake, of
the British ship Modeste, has arrived at St. Louis,
having left Oregon on the 6th of May. He reports
that when he left, pence and quietness reigned through-
out the the land, and that the prospects of the season
were very favourable.

The British Pacific squadron had not been heard
from for eight months.
The Oregon emigrants were progressing rapidly.
The Mormons had eighteen months' provisions. The
Californians were opposed to their settling in that
country, rn i it was contemplated that they would re-
sort to force to prevent it. _ _

Captain Oraks was not the bearer of despatches.

The new iron steamer Guadalquiver, Captain Hos-
kin, arrived at New York on the 29th ult., after a
run of a little under fifteen days from Liverpool. On
the day of her arrival at New York a serious fire was
discovered on board, the flames of which were not
subdued till the cabin was nearly destroyed. It was
supposed that the steamer had been wilfully set fire
to, and a negro was arrested on suspicion of having
some agency in the disaster.
LOSS OF THE MAMLOUK AND FORTY-
TWO LIVES.

We regret to learn the loss of the ship Mamlouk,
belonging to F. A. Delano, Esq., of New York, and
the lives of forty-two of the steerage passengers and
crew.

The Mamlouk sailed from New York a short
time since bound for Liverpool, and on Sunday,
August 15, in about latitude 38, longitude 67, while
lying to in a violent hurricane, under the main-
spencer and fore topmast-staysail, at ten minutes
before twelve, the ship was struck by a tremendous
squall, which careened her so far that the cargo
shifted, and brought her in an instant on her beam
ends, and so far over that the weather rail on the
quarter deck was within a few feet of the water. The
main and mizen masts were immediately cut away,
and the ship righted, but the shifting of the cargo
having burst open the hatches, it was floating about,
and the vessel full of water—the starboard rail being
under water. At daylight on Monday morning,
twenty-two out of sixty• four souls were found alive.
Throughout the day and Tuesday the storm still
raged and-the sea broke violently over the wreck. Saw
a vessel on Tuesday, but the weather was too rough
for her to approach, but by day light next morning
she was seen bearing down for the wreck ; she proved
to be the brig Belize, Captain Dawes, nineteen days
from Boston, bound to Port-au-Prince. Captain
Dawes kindly took the :survivors off the wreck and
treated them with the greatest kindness, attending to
their every want, and altered the course of his vessel
to the port of New York, where they arrived in safety.
Thirty-five of the steerage passengers and seven of
the crew were washed overboard and lost. The Mam-
louk cleared from New York, and was bound to Li-
verpool. The following are the names of the seamen
lost :—William Howard, Jacob Dryer, John Allen,
Harvey Dunham, Robert , William Miller,
coloured cook. The only steerage passenger saved is
David Hales, an Englishman.

The following is—a
list of the steerage passengers
lost :—John Ihne, Morris, Green, Edward
Green, wife and three children, Taylor and wife,
Edward Bishop, Thomas S. Davis—all English.
Elizabeth Hopkirk, Matthias, Hugh Hammel,
John Duncan—all Scotch. Patrick D.)uglas, wife
and child, Ann Sell, William Connell, Hugh Hum-
phrey, Well, Elizabeth Waterman, Miss Nlair
head, Robert O'Brien, Thomas Davies, T. H. Gerry,
wife and child, and John Gorman—all Irish. Thomas
Davis had with him 24,000 dollars in specie.
The cabin passengers saved are Mr. J. G. Butler,
of Brooklyn, Mrs. Christianson (captain's wife),
Miss Florida Patten, and Mr. Henry Plant, of De-
merara. .

The following has been published at the request of
the survivors
The undersigned, on behalf of the passengers and
crew of the packet-ship Mamlouk, wrecked at sea on
the night of the 15th of August, desire to express
publicly their deep sense of gratitude to Capt. James
li. Dawes, of the brig Belize, of Kingston, Massa-
chusetts, for his noble exertions in rescuing them from
their perilous position, and most generously providing
for all their wants, and in bringing them safely to
this port. " J. G. BUTLER,
" C. H. CHRISTIANSON, Capt."
The cargo of the Mamlouk consisted of flour, grain,
and provisions, worth from 50.000 dolls. to 75 nnn
stand, in Wall-street to the amount of 40,000 dolls.
to 50,000 dolls. We ondel ‘i anil the vessel and freight
were also insured in This city and at the eastward to
the amount of 55,000 dolls.
From Canada we have late but uninteresting ad-
vices. There is no political news. The Montreal
Transcript says—

" The subject of emigration, and the sickness which

dwellings—still with these it has suffered but little
dirninution.
" The alteration in the commercial policy of the
mother country appears to have already had the effect
of making the people of Canada look around them, and
endeavour to devise means to work out the natural
resources of the country. The construction of roads
throughout the province, a thing very much needed
in some parts, is already o3cupying more general
attention, and it is to be hoped will be carried out.
When the country is opened by these means, it will
induce people to settle along the various routes, and
to devote their thoughts to agriculture—incalculable
benefits must follow. We hope the question will be
urged. .upon the district councils, to be prosecuted

The sudden fall in the price of bread stuffs has
created a sort of panic among some of our merchants
who had speculated largely in these articles, but no
serious loss is, we believe, likely to occur hut what
they are well able to meet.
" The crops throughout Canada, with but very
few exceptions, promise well ; all fears of anything
like a failure are now over."

CONINIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Courier and Enquirer.)
NEW YORK, AUG. 31.

The new steamer Guadalquiver reached here on
Sunday in a short run of less than 15 days, bringing
us intelligence ten days later than the Cambria's
news.

Its import is, so far as low prices for brealstuffs,
a money panic in London, and numerous failures,
were e.oncerned, was little relished, and the arrival of
the mail steamer, which was to leave Liverpool on
tye 19th instant, and which will bring both later ac-
counts and full mails, is eagerly expected.
The money panic, except as it tends to diminish
prices, especially of cotton, which under the circum-
stances it is thought should rise if the money market
were easy and settled, has little influence here. The
failures reported may be more significant, as endan-
gering a large amount of bills drawn against some of
the parties. But there are so few letters by this
transient steamer that all here is uncertainty as yet
about what is to be the real effect of these failures.

The favourable account of the European harvests,
and the large arrivals which still poured in, of grain
and flour, into England, inducing a further decline of
flour in Liverpool, have had little or no effect here
to-day. The quotations for fl Sur are firm at rates as
before, and actual sales at those quotations, in small
parcels for home consumption, have been made.
The stock on hand is small, and the arrivals by
the canal are diminishing; hence the firmness of
the market.

India corn is not gathered till October and No-
vember.

Exchange on England has been more affected than
anything else by the news from Europe, and the
quotation for sterling bills to-day is 74 to 8. On
Saturday the best }hills could be bought at from
6i to 7.
Our money market is steady and active, but not
pressed. Loans on call are readily obtained on good
security at si-, and the general rate of interest is 6 per
bent. The banks are fully employed, and extended
for the most part to their limits. The importations
are large, and consequently the duties are so too, and
as these are now paid wholly in specie, Treasury notes
being at a premium, the banks are kept in constant
check by the drain upon their coin, which is immedi-
ately removed from their vaults to those of the Cus-
tom-house. If paid out again here, where by far the
largest proportion of the duties are collected, this coin
woull soon find its way back again, but inasmuch as
it is sent on for the most part to the south for the use
of the armies, its withdrawal is a source of alarm to
the banks—and as Exchange on England tends up-
wards, and thus forbids the expectation of further
supplies of specie from that quarter, the operation of
the sub-treasury upon the banks and upon the currency
becomes injurious.
The rise in French Exchange, if it should go a
little higher, might lead to the exportation of coin,
which can be made with advantage when the rates
are at from 5 25 to 5 27i—and they are closely
verging upon that.
The general trade of the country is most prosper-
ous. Importations pay well, and all business but that
of the speculator in grain is flourishing.
The stock market is not active. Treasury Notes
bearing 6 per cent. and convertible into 6 per cent.
stock of twenty years, are now at 34 to 4 per cent.
premium, after having been as high as 8 per annum.
This arises partly from the great demand for money
occasioned by a full and prosperous fall trade, and
partly by the well founded apprehension that a new
issue of Treasury Notes, or a new loan, will be re-
quisite to meet the large war expenditures, of which
no end is yet seen.
ONE O'CLOCK, r.M.—The Stock Market was rather
heavy this morning, and the transactions limited.
Treasury Notes, Sixes, closed at 1031.
Exchange on England and France has been in
brisk demand, and the market closed firm at the fol-
lowing rates :

REVIEW OF THE MIRKET.
At the date of my last respects to you, per Hiber-
nia, on the 14th inst., I stated that Liverpool buyers
were participating in the operations going forward to
a very limited extent, notwithstanding an easy freight
market. For a few days subsequent to the departure
of that steamer the market wore a quiet appearance,
as parties were reluctant to operate until the receipt
of later advices from abroad. _ _

The telegraphic accounts per Cambria from Liver-
pool, to 4th instant, were received on Wednesday
night the 18th instant, advising of great stringency in
the money market there, and a slight decline on the
lower grades of our staple. The latter mail was not
received until Friday the 20th inst., and the private
advices were considered more unfavourable, as no
orders came out, and an apprehension seemed to exist
that the tightness would rather increase, and in fact
had commenced to assume a permanent appearance.
The sales which have been effected since have been
to the extent of 1,500 bales daily, and mainly to our
home trade ; and, with a large and scattering stock,
and an absence of export demand, the market has
presented one uniform appearance of dulness, and ex-
cessive indifference on the part of holders, except
where their orders or immediate necessities prompted
sales, which consequently, were made at easier prices,
to the extent of one quarter of a cent., to which I have
altered my quotations.
The quiescent state of our market is, perhaps,. not
a matter for much surprise when the peculiar position
of the English trade, and the sudden and severe
pressure on the money market, on the eve of an ap-
parently abundant harvest, is considered. The new
steamer Guadalquiver arrived on Sunday morning
with dates to the 14th instant. The letters received
yesterday by her, as far as yet known, are confirma-
tory of the anticipation of parties here, and our market
since has exhibited no change in tone.
The accounts that now reach us respecting the ap-
pearance of the growing crop are conflicting. From
a careful analysis of them, lam persuaded that it is
in a very precarious condition, and that its appearance
now is decidedly adverse to a good yield. From
some
sections we hear that it promises well, whilst in
others they have totally abandoned all hope of making
even half a crop. The plant generally looks well.
It was pushed forward to an unhealthy degree by the
rains in July, but it is large, long jointed, and sappy.
The forms and squares are filling from the stalks, and
itis not in a productive condition.
Thus far we have no positive evidence of the ap-
pearance of the caterpillar or army-worm (the noctua
gossypii), whose ravages usually commence the latter
part of this month, and continue through the early
part of September ; but we have undoubted intelli-

Mississippi, and have also appeared near Columbus and
Enfaula, Georgia.
Although not leaving such marks of devastation in
the leafless stalks and stripped branches as manifests
' the advent of the army-worm, this enemy does his
work quite as effectually, and frequently proves more
disastrous. The one takes the cotton by " bold as-
