AMERICAN NEWS.

LATER FROM AMERICA.
By the New York packet ship Independence, Captain Nye,
at Liverpool, after a rapid passage of eighteen days, we have
New York papers to the 10th, two days later than those pre-
viously received by the Great Western. The papers by this
arrival are barren of interest to the English reader, except that
portion which relates to the passing of the Fiscal Bank Bill by
a majority of thirty-two votes, and which only wanted the sig-
nature of the President to become the law of the United State,.
The following are the only interesting extracts :

FLORIDA.
TALLAHASSEE, JULY 28.—We learn by a letter receive(
by the last mail from Marianna, that a few days since a party
of Indians, supposed to number about 30, visited the setibi-
ment of r. Morris Simms, in Jackson county, about 12
miles below Marianna, near Chipola river, murdered his twe
daughters, the one seven and the other two years of age, plun-
dered his smoke house of a quantity of bacon, a barrel of flour,
and what other provisions they could find, killed several hogs,
and crippled two horses, with spears or spiked arrows. The
little girls were found in the cow-pen, pierced with spiked ar-
rows, and their brains dashed out with lightwood notes.
EAST FLORIDA, JULY 31.—Captain Seawall, 7th infantry,
on a scout a few days since, between Volesia and the Och-
lawaha, came upon a large party of Indians, who fled imme-
diately on giving their fire, by which a sergeant under his com-
mand was killed. It was not known whether the fire of Cap-
tain S. killed any of the enemy. Some 30 acres of dorn were
destroyed by Captain S.

(From the New Orleans Bee, July 31,
METAMORAS.—The schooner Ringgold, Captain Marsteller,
arrived yesterday from Metamoras, bringing later dates from
Mexico.

The Metamoras Anchor of the sth July, says—" Informa-
tion has been received from Vera Cruz, of the arrival there of
a Minister from Texas, representing the object of his mission
to be, to negotiate for the recognition of the independence of
Texas by Mexico. This announcement excited indignant feel-
ings on the part of the Government,and was opposed, notwith-
standing the British Minister continually urged the Texican
request, and appeared to be the main support of the application.
There appears to be a general prostration of business through-
out Mexico. In the capital it was said Don Lucas Alaman
had failed for more than $1,000,000.
The arrivals yesterday from Havanna brought us dates four
days later. They contain not a word on the subject of the
fever, and the markets are without change.
A vessel from Spain has brought out a new Spanish Minis-
ter to Mexico, and a Consul for Tampico.
SPFCIE. —The arrivals yesterday brought from Metamoras
$29,300, and from Tobasco $4,000--Total $33,700.

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, Auo. 9.
The sale of upwards of seven hundred thousand dollars State
Stocks, on Monday, at the Merchants' Exchange, by the Comp-
troller of this State, will no doubt create a large attendance
and some excitement. This large sale is brought out on ac-
count of several free banking associations who have failed to
meet their bills on demand. The Stocks consist of those of the
States of New York, Arkansas, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois,
and Alabama. The sale of so large an amount, under the
hammer, will possibly affect the market.
The rate of bills on New Orleans has declined to 5i a 51,
and on Mobile to lt:q al4 U. S. Bank notes are dull at 25
per cent. discount.

But one million of the million and a half of dollars the Se-
cretary of the Treasury put into market of the twelve million
loan, has yet been negotiated, as we now understand. There
is no hurry, we presume, for the other. The quantity of gcods
coming in now in every packet ship will hardly make it ne-
cessary to negotiate the full amount of the loan, for these
importations are unexpectedly large.
of the Three Million Loan, Six per Cents., the State Go-
vernment has put into the market, but about one million, as
we understand, is wanted just now. Can there be a doubt,
that it will all be taken up ?
The interest on 100,000 dols. of the Illinois Stock called of
the Loan of 1861 remain unpaid, but this is said to be no fault
of the State, whose Crunmisbioners now in the city, it is be-
lieved, will soon take care of this.

The interest on some of the Arkansas Stocks remain un-
paid, in consequence of some of the drafts remitted by the
State having been dishonored by the North American Trust
and Banking Company, on which they were drawn.
Exchange per the Great Western, closed at 1081 t to 1083.
Sales of francs were made at 5,25. The current rate, though
was 5,27 i.

HAMBURGH MAIL.

BERLIN, AUG. 19.—Between twelve and one to.day his Majesty
gave an audience to M. Thiers : he conversed nearly a quarter of
an hour with this remarkable man. M. Thiers wore a plain dark_
blue coat, embroidered with green, and the stars of the Legion of
Honour of the Spanish Order of St. Charles and the Belgian Order of
Leopold. M. Thiers leaves Berlin to-morrow, and means to pass
some days at Leipzic and Dresden. His external appearance by
ro means corresponds with his great talents. His hair is quite
grey. He looked rather gloomy as he came away.

WHIRLWIND.—At Matlock, Bath, on Wednes-
day week, about two o'clock, a great quantity of hay was ob•
served floating in the air, a portion of which continued for five
minutes falling to the ground. The elevation attained by some
part of it could not have been less than a thousand feet. It was
ascertnined to have been taken up by a whirlwind from a close
in the occupation of Mr. F. Hartle, at Bonsall. A similar
phenomenon occurred the same day in a field of Mr. Eaton's,
at Tansley. Here there was no wind at the surface of the
earth, but the hay, on attaining,a, considerable altitude, was
carried by a brisk upper current in the direction of Cromford,
being nearly opposite to that taken by Mr. Hartle's- hay.—
