AMERICAN N
LIVER:
The new steam-ship United Sta
affe, arrived to-day, with dates
'the Bth inst., and 6 0001. in specie. Ea ivtt
The Royal mail steamer Hibelta"whldll4lo°
Liverpool on the 25th ult., was passed going into
New York.
Amongst the passengers we notice Mr. Byron, the
agent to the bankers and merchants of Great
Britain. He was dispatched to America last autumn
with instructions from Messrs. Forrester, of the
Mansion-house, London, to search for and apprehend
four men who had defrauded certain banks in York-
shire and Scotland. He succeeded in tracing and
arresting them at different ;places in the backwoods,
1,400 miles in the Western States.
We have but little additional intelligence by this
arrival.

[PRICE SD.

In Congress the following resolutions had been
agreed to:—
" Resolved, by the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives of the United States of America, in Congress
assembled, that in the name and behalf of the Ame-
rican people, the congratulations of Congress are
hereby tendered to the people of France upon their
success in their recent efliarts to consolidate liberty
by embodying its principles in a republican form of
government.
" That the President of the United States be, and
he is hereby, requested to transmit this resolution to
the American Minister at Paris, with instructions to
present it to the French Government."
This being a joint resolution, it was inoperative
until acted upon by the House of Representatives.
We have dates from the city of Mexico to the 21st
of March. There is nothing to notice beyond the
fact that the squabbles between the American Generals
had been renewed. Mr. Trist was detained at the
capital as a witness.
United States' Six per Cent. Stock was rated above
par, as were Treasury notes, of which sales bad been
made at from 1011 to 102.
We have no intelligence of importance from
Canada.

REVIEW OF THE NEW YORK MARKTT FOR THRIR

DAYS PRECEDING.
Cotton—The market for the past week, say since the
departure of the Caledonia, has been pretty steady, and
although holders have freely supplied, the current de-
mand prices now stand almost exactly as they did a
week ago, though a comparison of quotations at the two
dates shows a decline in some instances of c, per lb.
There was but little done yesterday, and nothing after
the arrival of the Washington. The total receipts of
cotton at all the shipping ports are 1,683,137 bales,
against 1,450,225 to same dates last year—an increase
this season of 232,912 bales. The total foreign export
this year is 273,043 bales more than last—say, 83,502

The operations in flour since the departure of the steam
ship Caledonia have been quite light, and the market
closes dull at our quotations. The better brands are less
plenty, and 6 dolls 50 c to 6 dolls 621 c is asked for
Genessee, whilst the common kinds are neglected and
can be obtained at 6 dolls 371 cto 6 dolls 50 c. Balti-
more, Alexandria, and Richmond country are selling at
6 dolls 25 c to 6 dolls 371 c; rye flour, 3 dolls 2S c, and
corn meal, heavy, at 2 aolls 44 c to 2 dolls 50 c for
Jersey. Wheat is held above the views of buyers, and
there are no late sales to notice. Indian corn continues
in fair demand at the present moderate rates; Jersey
yellow selling at 54 c to 55 C. and superior white
southern at 55 ctos6 c for export—the lower grades
of mixed at 51 c to 53 c; rye sells at 74 c to 75 c.
Freights are still attainable ac 4d to 5d for corn to
Liverpool.
Ashes—The market for pots of this year's brand is
steady at 5 dolls. 62ic., at which 200 barrels have been
sold since our last ; old may be quoted 5 dolls. 50 c. to
5 dolls. 561 c. In pearls there has been nothing doing of
late, and our quotation is entirely nominal; the last sales
it is understood, were at 7 dolls. 500.

FREIGHTS
To Liverpool have been slack since our last, and but
few engagements have been made, owing principally,
perhaps, to the desire for later advices before making
further engagements, and partly because all the ships
soon to sail were engaged full. We notice small en-
gagements of cotton at 3-16 d. to id. per lb. for square
bales; some heavy goods 1.55. to 205.; 1,000 barrels
north country turpentine at Is. 6d.; and pork 2s. per
barrel. To London some further engagements have
been made at our quotations, including lard at 30s. and
north country turpentine at 2s. per barrel. To Havre
there is nothing offering.

EXCHANGE.
There has been nothing done in foreign since our last.
We quote as before, though now quite nominal.

THE WEST INDIAN AND
MEXICAN MAILS.
SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 23.—The Thames Royal
Mail Company's steam. ship, Captain Abbott, arrived
this afternoon at one o'clock with the usual West
Indian charge of Lieutenant Cull, R.N., Ad-
miralty agent. It will be dispatched to town by the
ordinary mail train to-night, and delivered early in
the morning. Since leaving St. Thomas's, the
Thames encountered a succession of strong winds and
gales. The passage to Bermuda from St. Thomas's,
by stress of weather, was prolonged to seven days,
which, under ordinary circumstances, she has hitherto
performed in four days, thereby causing her depar-
ture rroin Bermuda to be two days later than th•
regular period.

-The latest date the Thames brings are :—Hondu-
ras, March 13 ; Tampico, March 16 ; Vera Cruz,
March 18 ; Demerara, March 20 ; Cat Island, New
Orleans, March 22 ; Jamaica, March 23 • Trinidad,
March 23 ; Grenada, March 24 ; Barbadoes, March
27 ; Ilavannah, March 28 ; Nassau, March 30 ; St.
Thomas's, March 30 ; and Bermuda, her last port of
call, April 7.
She brings a valuable freight, consisting of 11,000
dols. in American gold eagles ; 46,492 dols. in silver,
the whole of which are on merchants' accounts; 3701.
in British coin ; 26,981 dols. in gold dust ; 150 serons
of cochineal, 100 bags of coffee, a box of pearls, 40
bales of tobacco, 58 cases of cigars, 121 cases of
arrowroot, 32 bales of Bermuda potatoes, a small
quantit3 of turtle, and sundry packages of mer-
chandise.

Her Majesty's surveying schooner Lark, Lieut.
Lawrence, arrived at St. Thomas's on the evening of
the 29th of March. Her Majesty's schooner Ber-
muda was lying in the Camber, at Bermuda, on the
Bth of April, but was expected to be ready for sea in
a few days. Her Majesty's steamer, Kite, Mr. Balli-
ton, master, R.N., commander, arrived at Bermuda,
on the 24th ult., from Portsmouth, last from Ma-
deira, forty days. The Kite relieves the Gleaner
in the service of the Royal Naval Yard. The
Gleaner returns to England. The Vindictive, Vice
Admiral Sir F. W. Austin, was hourly expected at
Bermuda when the Thames left. Her Majesty's
steamer, Vixen, arrived at Jamaica on the 21st of
Granada, and brought

By this arrival we hare no further news from
Mexico,
it having been anticipated by the recent in-
telligence from New York. Our private accounts,
however, assure us that the affairs there are in a
very pacific state, and commerce generally assuming
a much more lively aspect.
The recent events in France were known at Ha-
ll
vannah on the arrival of the Royal Mail Company's
as
we inter-colonial nos of the
ehdenueotwyu/‘t.
steam-ship Avon. The tidings had a most paralysing
effect upon the merchants and inhabitants generally
and further information will be very anxiously looked
for. Immediately on the receipt of the information
by the authorities they adopted all the means in thei r
power to prevent the news spreading by interdicting
its publication in the public journals, but to no effect
for, as it may be naturally expected, it spread like
wildfire, and caused much consternation.
The amount of specie shipped for England from
Tampico would have been considerably increased had
