The mines generally were doing well, in both the
northern and southern districts. Rain had fallen in
great abundance, and large amounts of gold were
being taken out from the dirt thrown up during the
dry season. There had been more Lynching at the
mines.

Accounts were daily arriving of new discoveries
of auriferous mines in different parts of the country.
The weather had been good, and the country was
healthy.
Letters from San Francisco relative to the money-
market state that it does not present any feature of
importance since our last notice. Rates of interest
are firmly high, and there is the same difficulty in
money accommodation.
Some excitement bad lately prevailed there on the
subject of private coin, of which the currency in
circulation principally consists. On examination
and settling by the United States assayer, this has
been found deficient in value from 1 to 10 per cent.;
in consequence of which all private issue of coin,
with the exception of Moffatt and Co.'s, who redeem
theirs at par, and have ceased further issue, was re-
fused to be received by bankers, &c., unless at fitting
discount.

From Honolulu (Sandwich Islands) we have ad-
vices to the 16th of March, showing an exasperated
condition of the quarrel with the French authorities.
The latter continue to demand the repeal of the duty
on wines and brandies, which was the original cause
of the misunderstanding. In connexion with this
they claim a seat in the Cabinet of King Kanahamaha,
a sharing of the funds voted by the Government to the
support of religion between the French and American
missionaries, and the use of the French language in all
the official correspondence between the two Govern-
ments. In case of non-compliance with these de-
mantis by-the-20th of- March, the French tbreateir to

COTTON.
(From Wright's Circular.)
My last circular was dated the 13th inst., at which
date the market wore a downward aspect, consequent
upon the unfavourable state of the Liverpool market, as
reported by the Europa and Arctic. This decline was
rather accelerated by receipts of the news per Cambria
to the 3d instant, quoting a further fall in Liverpool
of IL per pound, the quotations for middling upland
Orleans being respectively 5-tl. and 6kd. per pound.
Holders became anxious sellers, and the operations were
generally made at a decline of ic. per pound. At the
close of last week the sales were on a pretty large scale,
at 91c. for middling upland, and 10c. for middling Or-
leans. On Monday morning we received three days'
later news by the American steamer Franklin, and learn
that for the present the downward course of the Liver-
pool market had been checked, and on taking stook it
was found to be 30,000 bales less than reported by the
weekly circular. These accounts caused holders to be
more firm, and the business on Monday amounted to over
2,000 bales, at an advance of to. Yesterday the market
remained firm, with only moderate business. The total
sales since the 12th instant to last evening have been
10,500 bales, and the exports during the same time have
been—to Liverpool, 2,096 bales; Havre, 1,458; Ham-
burgh, 907; Glasgow, 688; total, 5,149.
The southern markets, particularly mobile and New
Orleans, have continued to decline, infiuerced by the
proportionally heavy stock, unfavoarable news from
abroad, and advancing of freights, as well as by the
continued receipts of cotton long after it had been con-
fidently expected the whole crop would have been mar-
keted, thereby causing much disappointment as to pre-
vious opinions of this year's crop.
The reports from the south in relation to the growing
crop continue unfavourable, and represent the condition
of the young cotton as unpromising and quite as back-
ward as in either of the last two years.

WOOLWICH, MAY 31.—The Birkenhead steam troop-
ship, Master-Commander Robert Salmond, arrived at
Woolwich at twelve o'clock at noon to-day, after a
remarkably short passage of only 13} days from Halifax,
Nova Scotia. She has brought home four companies of
Royal artillery from North America, under the command
of Lieutenant-Colonel Symons:—Captain Maude's com-
pany, 9th battalion ; Captain Sandham's company, Ist
battadou ; and Captain C. J. Dalton's company, Ist
battalion, from Canada; and Captain F. Dick's company,
Ist battalion, from Halifax. There were 355 officers,
non-commissioned officers, and men, with 120 women
and 126 children—all well. There were no deaths on
the passage, but two births took place on board.
