the public under the above name. SOYER'S NECTAR has been
pronounced by several members of the faculty and epicures, to whom
it has been submitted, as the most refreshing, wholesome, and del:-

prepared from the choicest fruits, the most delicate constitution may
indulge in it.

Haymarket. The Trade supplied.

AMERICAN NEWS.

ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.
The royal mail ,team-ship Acadia, Capt. Stone,
has just arrived, having left New York on the 21st
ult., and Halifax, after a detention of ten hours by
fog, on the night of the 24th. She brings 52 pas-
sengers and 26,0001. in specie.
The steam-ship Britannia, with the English mails
of the 10th of June, arrived at Halifax on the 23d,
in twelve and a half days from Liverpool.
The news by the Acadia is not important.
On the night of the 20th a large meet-
ing took place at the `..L'abernacle in New
York, for the purpose of expressing sympathy with
John Mitchel, the news of whose sentence had been
brought by the steamship America. The gathering
appears to have been a large one, and is described by
the New York Express as having been "conducted
in a peaceable and very creditable manner, and on
the whole in every point of view the most respectable
assemblage of the kind we have ever seen in New
York." Mr. Greely, the editor of the New York
Tribune, was in the chair, numerous speeches were
delivered, and appropriate resolutions carried unani-
mously. One of the resolutions was to the effect that
the meeting pledge themselves that until Mitchel be
set at liberty they should refrain from buying or con-
suming any article of British manufacture.
Another demonstration was announced to come off
shortly.
The rate of exchange has given way in New York,
the outside quotation being 1101, and in consequence
the inquiry for specie has subsided.
The accounts respecting the coming crop of cotton
continued uniformly favourable. The receipts at all
the cotton ports of the present crop were still heavy,
and the final total it was thought would exceed
2,300,000 bales. The accounts made up for the
Acadia make the receipts to that period 2,171,000
bales. The market price of cotton, however, re-
mained unchanged, with a dull inquiry. Indian corn
stood at 54c. for good quality.
Flour, 5 dolls. 50 cents. to 5 dolls. 75 cents. The
rates of freight to Liverpool were 5-32 d. per lb. for
square bales, is. Gd. to is. 9d. for flour per barrel,
grain, Gd. to 61d. per bushel. To London, 25. 6d.
per barrel for flour.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE ROYAL YACHTS.—The Victoria and Albert was
brought down on Tuesday, from up the harbour, to the
moorings off the Clarence Creek, where she remains
ready for service. Her tender, the Fairy, will not
come out of dock until Friday, as her paint-work has
been delayed by the damp and wet weather. Both
yachts havo been under the hands of the decorators, and
are now adapted to perform the Royal service for which
they are designed. Nothing afloat can possibly exceed
the Victoria and Albert in the magnificence and
splendour of her fittings and decorations, united as they
are with as much personal co,- fort as it is possible such
a vessel could be made to afford; while the little Fairy
(the beau-ideal of a fine-weather, smooth-water yacht),
now also newly attired and dressed up, loses nothing by
comparison with the larger vessel, and in the elegance,
chasteness, yet simplicity of her cabin decorations, and
the personal comforts and accommodations she exhibits.
