_RATIFICATION OF THE TREATY OF
PEACE AT QUERETARO.
LIVERPOOL, WRDNESDAY.
The royal mail steamer Hibernia, Captain Shan7.
non, arrived in the Mersey this morning at eleven
o'clock, with the usual mails, and about 40 passen-
gers. She has also 58,000/. in specie on freight. The
dates of the Hibernia are---the 7th from New York,
and the 9th from Halifax; the steamer Acadia arri-
ved at Halifax on the 7th instant, in eleven days from
Liverpool.
The United States arrived at New York on the
31st of May, and the Niagara at Boston on the 2ez
of June; the former making a passage of 13} days,
and the latter one of 12 days and a few hours, in-
cluding her detention at Halifax.
There was an active business doing in the export
of cotton, the news from Europe by the United
States having given somewhat an impetus to the
market. In the grain markets business was very dull,
and in dry goods and business generally great depres-
s
sion was universally complained of.
The Hibernia brings the welcome tidings of the
ratification of peace between the United States an,:i
Mexico by the Congress at Queretaro on the 19th
ultimo. The intelligence was brought by the Edith
steamer, which reached New Orleans on the 30th of
May. It is thus given in the Courier and Enquirer
for Europe :
" The treaty was ratified by the Chamber of Deputies
on the 19th ult., at a quarter past six o'clock P.M. The
vote on it was 51 to 35. In the other branch of Con-
gress there is no doubt but that it will, be approved by a
comparatively much larger vote. Orders had been
issued for the calling in of the outposts of the army, and
they were expected to march for the coast between the
let and 15th of June. General P. F. Smith has been
appointed superintendent for the embarkation of the
forces at Vera Cruz, and he was to leave the city, of
Mexico, for the purpose of entering on this duty, on the
24th ttlt..." • - -
The passing of the treaty did not take place with-
out opposition, the minority threatening to leave the
chamber, and thus destroy the quorum. This threat
they did not, however, carry into effect.
General Herrera had not been chosen President as
it was expected he would be—but Pena-y-Pena had
been elected President ad interim, and it was thought
that Herrera delayed accepting the office until the
treaty was ratified, that he might enter upon the
Government without any of the odium which might
attach to that act.
The vomito was raging at Vera Cruz.
Number of meetings in favour of the different
candidates for the presidency were taking place in all
the large towns.
Mr. Trist was coming to Washington by the lake
route, and, it was understood, would report himself
to the President as a military prisoner—a rather
singular position for him to be placed in, says the
Courier and Enquirer, considering that the cause of
his arrest is the making of the treaty of peace the
senate' and.the country are so anxious to ratify.
With regard to money and commercial affairs at
New York, the Courier and Enquirer says -
The stocks of this state are in somewhat more de-
mand. Of the 3,000,000 loan, at 7 per cent., one half is
payable next month. Of that amount some 340,003
dols. have been already redeemed—leaving to be paid.
1,228,730 dols.—to meet which, according to the comp-
troller's report of last January, there would be on hand
417,212 dols. The comptroller, under the authority of
a law to that effect, issued a circular on the sth of May,
proposing to the holders of the Seven per Cent. Stock
an exchange at par for Fiee.and-a-Half per Cent. Stock
redeemable in 1855. The holders not having manifested
any willingness to accept the alternative, the comptroller
has advertised for proposals for a six per cent. loan, re-
deemable in '55 for 800,000 dols., the sum lacking to
pay off the balance of the Seven per Cent. Stock,
He
also invites proposals to the 27th inst., for another loan
of 489,817 dole., at six per cent., redeemable also in
provide for other wants. These amounts, of
more than a million and a quarter,' are to be added to
the sixteen millions-which in all'This month will ba'
bid for on the United States loan. Capitalists• are
already preparing for these operations, and 'Money
is accumulating in the banks. Owing to the
continued export of coin, bills on England are dull,
although the rates remain high; II I is the asking price,
but few sales are effected. The shipment of cotton is
active to Great Britain, while i'n bread stuffs little or
nothing is doing. The market for flour has remained is
a quiet gate for the last week. The receipts have been
tree, but with a good home demand; the stock does not
accumulate fast, and prices are well maintained, particu-
larly on the lower grades. The range of price has been
at 5 25 to 5 50 dols. for all the lower grades, and 5 75 to
6 dols. for the better kinds of Genessee, but at the close
there was none to be had under 5 50 dole. for Ohio and
Michigan, and 6 to 6 12i dole, for the good Genessee.
One or two sales of Canadian have been made at 4 87
to sin bond; Georgetown, Baltimore, and Richmond
Country are selling at 6 to 6 25 dole.; rye lour, 3 50;
arid corn meal, 2 56f to 2 62k for Jersey. Wheat bits ar-
rived more freely, and is selling at 110 c. to 120 c.
for Ohio mixed, and 135 e. for Genessee white. Rye
sells at 68c. to 70c. Oats are dull, at 45c, to 47c. for
northern. For Indian corn there has been an active,
demand for export, at 51 to 550. for mixed and yellow
western; 55 to 57c. for white southern and Jersey; and
58 to 61c. for Jersey and southern yellow, closing at 59
to 60c. for the latter, showing an advance of several
cents. Freights have also improved, the late engage-
ments having been at sd. to 6d. per bushel on corn to
LiverpooL

Flour, &c.—Western canal flour is in good demand,
and prices are well supported; sales of Oswego, Michi-
gan, &c., are made at 4 37f dolls. to 5 62i dolls.; pure
Genessee and good brands of Ohio at 5 87k dolls, to 6
12k dolls., common southern kinds, 6 dolls, to 6 12k
dolls. oderate sales of cora meal have been made at
2 62k dolls. 6,000 bushels Milwaukie and Ohio wheat
sold at 1,006 dolls. to 1 12k dolls. ; 2,000 bushels of
Canada wheat (for export) at 1 15 dolls. short pries.
Curn is plenty, but shippers do not appear to be willing
to meet the views of holders, and the sales to-day
have been limited; a few lots were taken for distilling
at 50c.

Rough Turpentine is held nominally at 2 dolls. 50c.
per barrel of 280Ibs. Spirit of Turpentine is firm at 34.
to 35 cents cash. 'Two cargoes of North Country Rosin
sold at 65 to 75c. delivered. Tar is in fair request at
1 doll. 750. to 2 dolls.

The receipts of Flour since the opening of the navi-
gation amount to 302.880 barrels.

The rates of Freight are—To Liverpool, for cotton in
square bales, 5.32 d per lb.; Flour and Turpentine, ls.
to Is. 9d. per barrel; grain, sid. to 6d. per bushel. To
London: 2s. 6d. per barrel for flour, and other articles
in proportion. To Havre: nominal.

lisi-ANNAH, Mir 27.—The prices of sugar have gra-
dually become lower, as the stocks accumulated, and
planters became convinced, from the advice. of the
European markets, that they could not sustain their for-
mer pretensions. At the reduced rates a fair inquiry
has shown itself, which slackened within the last few
days. The English steamer of the Ist instant has just
arrived, and we have to see what influence the accounts
it brings will have on our market. In the meantime we
place the quotations as follow:—Assorted kinds for
Spain, 60. to 90.; whites, good to fine, Bd. to aid., or
225. 9d. to 245. sd. free on board per English cwt.; yel..
lows, superior altd Floretes, 54d. to 6/d., or 17s. 7d. to
18s. Bd. ditto; dttbo, good and fine, 4d. to 5d., or 14s. ld.
to 155. 10d. ditto; Cucuruchos, 3d. to 3id., or I Is. 2d. to
11s. 9d. ditto. Little or nothing has been done in Mutt-
covados, and we quote 4 to 4} rs. for fair and good qua-
lity. 86,000 boxes of sugar have gone forward, com-
prising 20,000 boxes to the United States, 7,500 boxes to
Great Britain, 32,000 boxes to Cowes, 11,400 boxes to
Spain, and 18,000 boxes to other places. Some purchases
of molasses have been made at II rs., but many dealers
ask
rs. The business in coffee is extremelyinsigni-
ficant.

Tun QUEEN'S Accassrox.—Tuesday being the
anniversary of the accession of her Majesty Queen Vic-
toria to the throne, the day was observed throughout
the country with the usual demonstrations of loyalty;
the royal standard was hoisted at the churches of St
Mary Abbotts, Kensington ; St. Margaret's and St.
John's Westminster; Saint Martin's-in-the-fields, Som-
erset House, the Tower, Greenwich Hospital, the Ar-
senal at Woolwich, and Tilbury Fort. Throughout the
day the bells from the various parishes of the metropolis,
rang " merrie peals," and at one o'clock a grand feu de
joie was fired from St. James's Park, the Tower, Tilbury
Fort, and the Arsenal at Woolwich; the royal standard
was also hoisted at the Queen's Theatre, but no illumi-
nations took place in the evening. The Queen will hold
a drawing-room to-day, at St. James's, to celebrate
the auspicious event.
SoirrmAmrTon, JUNE 20.—The Oriental Com-
pany's steam-ship Ripon, Captain Moresby, left the

Bombay and other mails, also 50 passengers, among

pected, being over due two days. The West India
packet Thames, which has been detained sitar* the 17th,
