AMERICAN NEWS.
PHILADELPHIA, MAY 30.

The British mail steamer Tay, from Vera Cruz for
Southampton, touched at Ship Island, below New
Orleans, on the 20th inst. She brings dates from the
city of Mexico to the 13th, and from Vera Cruz to
the 16th inst.

Passengers who arrived by the Tay say that the
treaty of peace will certainly be ratified by the
Mexican Congress. They further state that the
treaty would be finally acted on on the 25th instant,
when it was generally supposed that the vote would
be 61 Deputies for the ratification and 14 for conti-
nuing the war.
General Herrera had been elected President of
Mexico in opposition to his own inclination.

Pena y Pena, the late President, in a lengthy
message strenuously advocated the ratification of the
treaty. He takes a bold position, and declares every-
thing to be secondary to the question of peace or war.
He further argues that the terms proposed by the
United States are milder than could have been ex-
pected, and that Mexico had no reason to presume
that the stipulations would be modified.
There was more than a quorum of the Mexican
Congress at Queretaro, there being thirty-three
senators and seventy-five deputies in daily attend-
ance. The treaty was to be discussed with closed
doors. .
At Camargo, Captain Thomas Postley, was shot
on the 11th instant, by a private soldier, as an act of
revenge.
LATEST.—Have just received accounts in extenso,
fully confirming the above. Rosas laid the treaty
before the Mexican Congress. General Kearney
and Colonel Ramsay, with 1;200 men, had left Vera
Cruz for Mexico. The state of Jalisco is in
favour of peace. After the election of Herrera, as
President of Mexico Pena Pena was; appointed
chief justice.
ated says a cor.respondent,
writing from Mexico, that the treaty will certainly be
ratified.

f of
the custom-houses afford no true indication the
matter. For example, the steamer America tooko
out
more than 500,000 dohs., but only 348,000 dolls, were
registered. It is ascertained also that the passengers
who arrived in the Henry Clay brought over 900,000
dolls. (none registered) ; and it may be remarked that
the immense emigration from Europe (en one day last
week 3,400 emigrants arrived at New York !) pours un-
known and almost untold amounts into this country. A
large failure has occurred at St. Jago de Cuba, entailing
a loss on the West India trade of New York.

port. Indian corn, 56c.; Jersey Indian meal, 2 dolls 30c.
Provisions, both pork and beef, are quiet, and show no
change whatever; but lard is in active demand at from
6c. to 7c., according to quality. Pot-ashes have im-
proved, and are now held at 4 dolls. 12ic. to 4 dolls. 18c.;
pearls, 5 dolls. Freights as before, and very dull.
Since the Ist of September, 1847, the quantity of flour
exported to Great Britain and Ireland has been 155,672
barrels—some time previous year, 1,851,446 barrels! In-
dian meal, 89,925—same time previous year, 541,719;
wheat, 215,139 barrels—same time previous year,
1,700,153 barrels; Indian corn, 2,634,896—5ame tirei.,
previous year, 12,004,735. Imagine the results of such
a falling on the market.

CANADA.
(From the Quebec Chronicle, May 24.)
Politically, we have but little to note, save that the
election of a member to represent this good city in Par-
liament, comes off on the 30A1 instant. Ti ere are, in
all, four candidates in the field, viz , Messrs. Ross, Le-
gal* Glackemeyer, and Methot. In a former summary
we mentioned that the cause of this election was the
elevation of Mr. Aylrvin, one of our city members, to
the bench.

We have been informed that Dr. Wolfred Nelson,
member for Richelieu, is coming out with a strong mani-
festo against Mr. rapineau, in an early number of the
Al:nerve. It will be remembered, by most of our readers,
that Dr. Nelson was one of those exiled to Bermuda,
during Lord Durham's administration, for participation
in the rebellion of 1838.

The Montreal papers state that Mr. Papineau's sup-
porters proclaim that their real object in agitating the
subject of a separation of Lower from Upper Canada is
with a view of proposing an annexation of the former to
the United States.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, J uNts 14.
THE CHARTISTS ARE LANDED—THE TROOPS CALLED
OUT.—Some foolish people at East Cowes allowed them-
selves to be grossly imposed upon yesterday, and in turn
shamefully imposed on others. A party of pleasure-
seekers, deputies to the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows
meeting at Southampton, landed at Cowes yesterday,
from the Malmesbury steamer. From there being so
many in one party, some were curious to account for
their visit. One said they were Chartists ; another,
pleasure folks going to Newport fair. As they inquired
the road to that place nothing more was thought of them.
They proceeded through the town, some taking the East
Cowes ferry, the story that they were Chartists follow-
ing them. They expressed a wish to see the Queen and
Osborne, and asked the road. This was enough to
frighten a great character ; he sent off an express to
Osborne that the Chartists were in East Cowes and on
their way to the Palace. To account for the smallness of
their numbers, the main body were said to have landed
on the beach in front of the Palace. At length they
made their appearance at the principal entrance to the
park—(at least some of them did, for their numbers
were now reduced to eighteen men and one woman)—
and requested to be admitted, and were refused ; they
pressed their suit, and, the police say, said the place was
theirs—that it was bought with the people's money,
and
that, it they could not get in at that gate, they would at
the next. It is further said that the police knew two of
them as Chartist leaders. They proceeded on their
route, which led to another gate ; the police to cut their
off. Expresses were sent to Osborne House and to East
Cowes, and from thence to Parkhurst for the troops.
From East Cowes the coast-guardsmen were mustered,
and sent off in carriages to Osborne, armed as they are
on their nightly prowl for smugglers. One of them is
stated to have said, he saw that the Chartists had arms
concealed ai they passed, having pockets in their
trousers for their arms, as carpenters for their rules. The
42d Highlanders and the Rifles were marched down with
t West
all speed. The report of the Chartist attack was also
sent to West Cowes and the Royal Yacht Squadron -house,
both
the brotherhood of the Manchester Unity, and on
Cowes some of the party still remained
hearing of the terrible invasion immediately explained
that the party that had eaused so much alarm were not
Chartists, but Odd Fellows. What a story for Punch !

THE LATE MURDER IN THE HOUSE OF CORI:MC-
TioN.—Yesterday forenoon, at ten o'clock, the, jury,
which, on
Monday last, was impanelled before Mr.
Wakley, M I'.,
in the House of Correction, on view of
the body of William Henry Woodhouse, the warder, who
was murdered on Saturday last in the prison, by a pl.'.
sone!' named George William Hewson, against whom a
verdict of wilful
murder was returned, reassembled for
the purpose of signing the official verdict for the trans-
mission to the Central Criminal Court. On Monday
last the coroner left the warrant for the committal of the
accused, which on Tuesday was laid before a meeting of
the visiting magistrates, when, as the prisoner could not
be removed without an order from the Secretary of
State, being under a sentence of two years' imprisonment
tor a former offence a communication was made to Sir
G. G '
re). esterday the Coroner and jury wero in-
formed that the Secretary of State had that morning, at
nine o'clock, forwarded an order for the prisoner's re-
moval to the Old Bailey. The witnesses were then se-
verally sworn and bound over to prosecute, and in the
course of the day the accused was conveyed to the Old
Bailey.
The ladies patronesses of the grand annual Cale-
donian Ball, under the immediate patronage of her
Most Gracious Majesty met at Willis's Rooms yester-
day, to make the final' arrangements for this splendid
costume ball. The Duchess of Norfolk and the Duchess
of Atholl have kindly formed a quadrille, in which the
daughters of the ladies patronesses take pert; the
Countess de Flahault a quadrille of all nations, in which
join;
the foreigners of distinction have wished to
!he Hon. Lady Dachas a quadrille of the time of 1745,
in which the picturesque costume worn at the grand
festivities at Holyrood House will be fully carried
out. Letters of invitation have been sent to all
the Fo-
reign Ministers. From the great exertions of the ladies
patronesses this ball will surpass in splendour any yet
