16th inst., Boston to the 17th, and Halifax to the

wards of 50 passengers.
The America sailed from Beaton at 12 40 P.m. on
the 17th inst., with a light N.E. wind, and arrived
at Halifax at 220 A.M. on the 19th instant. She
cleared from Halifax at 4 A m., after a detention of
1 hour and 40 minutes ; experienced moderate S.W.
and N.E. winds until the 26th inst., when she had
strong N.B. winds; at 11 20 P.M. of the 26th she
made Cape Clear ; at 9 30 P.M. on the 27th she was
abreast of Holyhead; and arrived in the river at
3 15 A ➢I. to-day, after a fine run of 10 days 8
hours and 15 minutes mean steaming time.
The United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Nye
commander, with the mails of the 31 inst. arrived
at New York at 8 A.m. on the 14th inst. She was
off Sandy Hook at 9 P.m. on the 13th, but was
unable to obtain a pilot. Her run to Sandy Hook
occupied 10 days 11 hours and 30 minutes mean
time.

The royal mail steam-ship Europa, Lott comman-
der, with the mails of the 6th inst., arrived at Boston
at 4 30 A.M. on the 17th inst. after a fine run of about
10f days mean time.

from New York via Halifax.
The New York papers state that the stem-ship
Atlantic took out instructions from the President to
Mr. Barringer, the United States Consul at Madrid,
to urge upon the Spanish Government mercy and
leniency towards her unfortunate and misguided
prisoners.
Intense excitement prevailed at Baltimore and
throughout Pennsylvania, in consequence of the negro
outrage at Christiana (reported by last steamer), by
which Mr. Edward Gorsuch, the owner of the two
fugitives whom he attempted to recover, was killed,
and his son mortally wounded ; the son was not dead
at last accounts, but he was not expected to survive
many hours. Several arrests of both whites and
negroes supposed to be concerned in the outrage bad
been made, and an armed force had been sent to
Christiana to prevent any further outbreak. The
Government has offered a reward of 4,000 dollars for
the arrest and conviction of the offenders.
Mr. James Fenimore Cooper, the distinguished
American novelist, expired at his residence, Cooper'A-
town, on Sunday, the 14th inst., at the age of 62
y ears.

Great preparations were making at Boston for the
railroad jubilee, at which the President and most
of the high officials are expected to he present.
ARRIVAL OP MISS CATHERINE HAYES.—The Col-
lins steamer Pacific, Captain Nye, arrived at her
wharf on Sunday morning, the 14th inst., in 10 days
and 17k hours, from Liverpool. She was detained
for several hours at Sandy Hook, for want of a pilot.
There was a large crdwd of people at the Pacific's
dock ou Sunday to welcome the " S wan of Erin,"
and very general and earnest enthusiasm was mani-
fested upon her landing. She proceeded directly to
the Astor House, where she now stays. Miss Hayes
is accompanied by her mother, her sister, Herr Men-
gis, baritone; Augustus Braham, ballad singer; M.
Lavenu, pianist; and Dr. Joy, of Dublin, general
manager of her concerts. During the voyage a con-
cert was given, from which 200 dollars was realized
and presented to the fireman and crew of the Pacific.
It was proposed on Sunday evening to give Miss
Hayes a magnificent :serenade, and about ten o'clock
bands of music and companies of firemen and other
citizens began to assemble at the Astor. When in-
formed of their purpose Miss Hayes thanked them
for the intended compliment, but begged that they
'would, from respect to the Sabbath, postpone the per-
formance until another time. The request was com-
plied with, and the serenade delayed until next
night, when it was given with a hearty goodwill.
Fires had taken place at Broadway, New York
(damage 20,000 dollars) ; Bridgeport (loss 30,000
dollars), Pittsburg (loss 15,000 dollars), Bangor
(4,000 dollars loss). The Hackensack Bridge, be-
tween New York and Newark, was destroyed by fire
on the 15th.
The state fair at Rochester was to have opened on
the 16th. Great preparations were being made. The
city was crowded. Governors Hunt, Wood, and
Wool ; General Scott ; Senators Seward and Douglas,
&c., had arrived.
The Canandaigua and Elmira railroad was opened
on the 15th inst.
A. famine is apprehended in Pickens county, Ala-
bama, and a public meeting has been held, at which it
was proposed to call an extra session of the Legisla-
ture, to procure the means of purchasing corn.
James Clements, convicted of murder and mutiny,
has been pardoned. Henry Carmel, for the Dey-
street murder, was to be hung on the 19th ; and
Aaron Stookey, for the murder of Zeddy Moore, was
also to be executed on the same day.
The heat had been intense at New Yerk. Several
deaths from coup de soleil are reported.
The change of temperature at New York, from
midday on the 13th to the morning of the 15th, was
50 degrees. At New Haven, on the 15th, the ther-
mometer marked 39, only 7 degrees above fref zing.
Edwin Forrest has made his reappearance on the
American stage, and after the performance on the first
night delivered an address remarkable only for bad
taste and coarseness.
The steamer Pamper°, the vessel which conveyed
the Cuban invaders to Havannah, had been given up
to the American authorities by Mr. Sigur, at New
Orleans. Eighteen men were arrested at New Or-
leans charged with riotous conduct and inciting a
mob to tear down the True Delta newspaper office.
Captain Kelly, one of the liberated Cuban prisoners,
bad arrived at New Orleans. His statements totally
exonerate Lopez from the charge of having aban-
doned Colonel Crittenden and his party.
From Canada we have no news of interest. The
crops are reported to be looking remarkably well,
especially the wheat crop.
From Havannah we have telegraphic accounts, by
way of Savannah, to the 7th instant, one day later,
which state that 160 prisoners had sailed for Spain
in a Government transport, and that only four bad
been liberated, viz., Colonel Haynes, Captain Kelly,
Lieutenant Van Vechten, and Mr. Chapman.
The report contained in a telegraphic dispatch
from New Orleans, dated the 11th instant, to the
effect that a defalcation of 50,000 dollars had been
discovered in the house of J. C. Burnham and Co.,
of Havannah, turns out to be much exaggerated. The
defalcation will not extend to beyond 15,000 dollars.
Advices from St. Domingo to the 4th instant had
been received at New York by the arrival of the
schooner Gray Eagle from Port-au-Platt,whieh states
that preparations were being made by the Hay tian
and Dominican Governments to renew warlike opera-
tions, and that the Hay tian fleet had reached Cape
Hayti previous to the sailing of the Gray Eagle.
Port-au-Platt was on the 17th ult. visited by a
very severe hurricane, which tore up large trees from
the roots and destroyed from fifteen to twenty houses.
The shipping in the harbour also suffered severely.
The English Brazil packet was driven on shore and
totally lost; a seaman belonging to her was also
drowned ; the schooner Sea was also driven on shore
and lost, and the Norwegian brig Frarer, and
schooner Chevere, had to cut away their masts to
avoid the same fate. Every vessel in the harbour
met with more or less damage, excepting the Gray
Eagle.

Advices from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to the 29th
of July have been received, which report that the
Navijo Indians had killed eleven persons and wounded
eight others, but the cause is not stated. Pieces of
gold, weighing from six to eight ounces, have been
found in the " placer," near Santa Fe. Great injury
had resulted from drought in New Mexico.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, SEPT. 16.—The condition of the money
market presents no new feature to-day. There is a
constant and heavy demand for money for those engaged
in active business, which must be met and which pre-
vents an accumulation of capital. We hear of no ad-
vance in the rates for money at the discount houses—
paper of the right stamp being done at last week's quo-
tations. The banks are doing rather more to meet the
demand of their customers than last week.
These appeared to be a_ buoyant feeling in the stock
market this morning, and although the sales were mo-
derate, prices had an upward tendency.
Government securities were in demand at the follow.

to 5.131; Amsterdam, 411 to 41i; Hamburgh, 361 to

Cotton—The market is dull and rather easier to the
buyer. 200 bales only were sold yesterday.
Flour, &c.—There is increased heaviness in our
market for the lower grades of state and western flour,
and prices area shade easier. The European advices
have had no influence on the market. The supply is
good and prices still tend downward, especially for old
western. The demand for new is fully equal to the
supply, and prices are firmer.
The sales of domestics are 3 81 to 4 dolls. for Ohio
and 4 181 to 431 for pure Genesee from new wheat. ,
Grain—The supply of wheat is good, and the demand
is very light, and prices tend downwArd. Nothing

for unsound; 58 to 59c. for good to prime western
