WOOLWICH, FEB. 20.—Lieutenant James Hosken
(1828) hoisted his pendant yesterday in the Banshee
mail steam-packet, commissioned for service on the Me-
diterranean station. All her engineers have been ap-
pointed, and the requisite number of stokers have been
supplied from the Fisgard. The Banshee went down
the river to-day to try the working of her engines, by
John Penn and Son, and although she has only two
boilers now to make room! for stowing a greater quan-
tity of coals, instead of tour boilers, the number she had
formerly, she made a speed of over 13 knots per hour.
One of the side rods was broken during the trial, but it
was removed in a quarter of an hour, and each cylinder
being fitted with two sides perfectly independent of each
other, as is invariably the practice of Mr. Penn in large
oscillating engines, she started again with no perceptible
diff,rence in the working of the engines.
Admiral Sir Charles Ogle visited Woolwich Dock-
yard to-day. His son, Commander Graham Ogle (1846)
is at present studying steam at the Factory at Woolwich
Dockyard.

AMERICAN NEWS.

ARRIVAL OF THE FRANKLIN.
SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY, FEL 20.
The United States' Mail steam-ship Franklin, Captain
J. A. Wootton, arrived off Cowes, Isle of Wight, at 3
o'clock this afternoon, and after transferring the mails
for England to a small steamer, proceeded on her voyage
to Havre.
The Franklin sailed from New York at 3 P.M. on the
Bth inst., and her voyage has occupied 12 days, less five
hours, the difference in longitude. She has 47 passen-
gers, four only of whom landed at sontbnipton Mitt*
freight 40 packages specie, value 300;006 dolls., 500
bales cotton, and sundry cargo—all for Havre.
By this steamer we have accounts from the United
States of three days later date than received by the
United States' mail steamer Pacific.
The steam-ship Empire City arrived at New York on
the 7th inst. with the California mails, 750,000 dolls. in
gold dust on freight, and 300,000 dolls. in the hands of
passengers.
We have a fortnight's later news from California by
the Franklin—the dates from San Francisco are to the
31st of December.
The accounts from California are not so encouraging
as formerly. The mines were yielding less than during
the past season, but preparations were being made to
work the quartz mines during the coming spring and
summer with great energy, by the aid of machinery and
steam. The Indians in the Mariposa country had com-
menced depredations, but efforts were being made to con
ciliate them. Crime was prevalent in San Francisco and
throughout the country, and it was supposed that an or-
ganized band existed, composed of convicts and reckless
adventurers, whose sole business was plunder. The cho-
lera had entirely disappeared, and the health of the city
was generally good. The general news is of little in-
terest. The Legislature was to meet on the 6th of
January at San Jost, but an effort would probably be
made to remove the seat of Government to San Fran-
cisco. The operations of the Government it was thought
would be considerably embarrassed for want of funds,
and a loan was unavoidable unless Congress afforded
some relief. The Alta California announces the
arrival at San Francisco of a portion of
Captain French's company ; they had suffered
terribly. The Pacific News of January 1, in a long
article on the state and prospects of California, gives the
official list of shipments of gold-dust in 1850, ending
December 31. The aggregate amount is 29,441,583
dolls., or nearly 6,000,000/. sterling; the largest amount
was shipped in the month of August, when the exports
amounted to 5,282,880 dolls. Besides this it is estimated
that 12,000,000 dolls, have gone forward in private
hands, and 6,000,000 dolls. have been retained for cir-
culation, making the total yield of the mines for 1850
48,000,000 dolls., or between 9,000 0004 and 10,000,000/.
sterling. The San Francisco Herald gives the particulars
of damage done to shipping during severe gales on the
15th and 16th of December. Respecting the Indian
hostilities, the Stockton Journal states that the Indians
are in open warfare with the whites. The California
Courier announces the loss of the British ship Mersey
in the Bay of San Francisco. The following letter from
San Francisco, dated the 31st of December, in the New
York Courier and Enquirer, embraces the principal
items of intelligence :
"I am sorry I have no better news to offer you this
New Year's Eve, and no further accounts to render than
the extremely discouraging news which the enclosed
postscript affords. Even these quotations, low as they
may seem, are for most articles, from 25c. to 50c. above
what the goods will bring if sales are forced. The
prices named are nominal nearly, as there is positively no
demand for goods of any description, unless it be the
single article of teas, for which large orders have already
been forwarded to China.
" The rainy season having set in, prices have suddenly
and rapidly declined, and the supply is far larger than
can be taken up in the course of trade for a long, long
while.
" Comparatively few vessels from the States have ar-
rived since my last, and I hope that shipments have for
the present ceased from your port.
" Goods are daily sold by our commission merchants
for freight and charges, which often exceed the value of
the goods themselves. I know of many parcels which
have been received for more than a year, the final result
of which must be very disastrous to the shipper. When
freight and storage equal the value of the goods, they are
sold, the only gainers being the owners of favourite
warehouses. Add to this the great risk of total loss by
fire and you will see the danger of dealing with so un-
certain a market.
" Shippers not in the regular trade meet constant
losses, as their goods are usually forced off at auction
for what they will bring.
" .Accounts from Sacramento city and Stockton
show even a duller market than our own, and ac-
counts from Oregon offer no greater inducements to
shippers."
Our advices from Washington are to the 7th inst. In
the Senate the California Land Title Bill was ordered to
be engrossed. In the House of Representatives the pro-
position to establish a branch mint in New York was
negatived. General Cass had been re-elected to the
Senate by the Legislature of Michigan. In the House
of Representatives Mr. Gilbert gave notice of a Bill to
establish a branch mint in California. The Naval Com-
mittee of the Senate had put sheir veto upon the ex-
tension of any new steam lines of communication across
the Atlantic, under the patronage of Government,
for the present session, by a formal vote, assuming
that in the few remaining weeks of the session there is
not sufficient time to examine the projects which have
been presented, and that the application for increased
compensation from the proprietors of Collins's line
(between New York and Liverpool) demands an inquiry
into the whole system, and forbids any additional en-
gagements until it is thoroughly understood. There
was a favourable disposition on the part of the committee
towards the establishment of a line of steamers betweea
San Francisco and Shanghai, upon the basis of the re-
commendation of the Secretary of the Navy.
From the Isthmus of Panama we have dates to the
27th of December. G•,rgona was partly destroyed by
fire on the 25th ult., SO houses being burnt. Loss not
ascertained. The royal mail steamer Medway sailed
for Southampton, Carthagena and St. Thomas's, on
the 25th of December.
Jenny Lind and suite arrived at New Orleans, from
Havannab, on tho. 7th inst. The telegraphic reports
state that the city was wild with excitement.
General Quitman had arrived at New Orleans in cus-
tody of a United States' marshal to stand his trial on the
charge of being connected with the Cuban invasion.
We have dates from Rio de Janeiro to the 21st of De-
cember. The political news is without interest, and
mentions nothing relative to the expected war between
Brazil and Buenos Ayres. At the latest dates a kind of
epidemic, having all the appearance of fever, was raging
in the city of Camps. The war steamer Affonso ar-
rived at Rio on the 13th of December, with the 4th bat-
talion
of Artillery and 400 soldiers.
Accounts from Kingston, Jamaica, state that cholera
was fast disappearing from the colony, and the only
parish now afflicted to any extent is Lucia. A serious
riot had occurred in the parish of St. David during an
election for a Member of the House of Assembly. A
hired band of ruffians was in attendance, and a fearful
riot ensued. The Court-house was almost entirely de-
molished, the police and other persons cut and wounded,
some of whom would not survive. Mr. M'Lean, the co-
roner of the parish, was killed, and the sheriff, Mr.
Lyons, obliged to fly for his life. A detachment of
troops had been sent to the district, and some of the
ringleaders arrested on a charge of wilful murder.
We are in possession of accounts from the Sandwich
Islands and files of the Polynesian to the 14th of Dec.,
but they contain no news. The French corvette Se-
rieuse, 30, arrived on the 13th of December from San
Francisco, having on board M. Perrin, the new French
Consul-General.

The latest advises from Oregon extend to the 20th of
December, received by the Goldhunter at San Francisco.
The territory continued prosperous.
The Oregon Spectatercontains the niessageof Governor
Gaines to the Legislature. It advocates a liberal policy
on the part of the General Government in the donation
of lands to actual settlers, urges the immediate construc-
tion of roads, and advocates a liberal system of educa-
tion.

COMMERCI A T., INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, FEB. 7.—The stock
market rallied a little to-day; it was one of those re-
actions usually attending a too-rapid decline.
CITY TRADE REPORT, FEB. 7.—Ashes—Rather more
activity prevailed in the market for this article since
our last, without special change in value.
Beeswax has been quite 'lull during the past week.
Breadstuffs—Flour— We observed more firmness in
the market for Western and State to-day, though prices
remained without quotable change. A better inquiry
prevailed for city use, and there was a moderate busi-
ness done in. Western for export. Hoidors of State
evinced less inclination to realise, and the low grades
were, if anything, better. Ohio fl,)ur, with light re-
ceipts and a good demind, was held firmly at our quo-
tations.

Coffee—The market was steady but quiet, with sales
of 100 bop Rio, at

Cotton—The sales to-day have rather exceeded 1,800
bales, and at prices about k per cent. better than cur-
rently accepted during the panic of yesterday. The
change ('f sentiment is owing, as we believe, to the fact
that the intelligent cotton merchants of this city were
electrified this morning by a proclamation from a very
extensive and shrewd cotton office, defining the precise
causes of the decline at Livervol, which, it not very
clear to the merchants of that city at the period of
making up their correspondence for the steamer Canada,
is at least so to the writer, who is devoid of any personal
feeling in the matter. We do not think that it was the
intention of the writer to avail himself of the convenient
opportunity to bear the market here and at the south;
but, if such was his intention, it has signally failed, at
this point at least. The line of prices to-day was 12ic.
to 124 c. for midland upland; and 134 c to inc. for fair.
Holders for the best description of Gulf's declined offer-
ing at proportionate rates.
Provisions—Pork—Since our last there has been but
little variation in the market for old Ohio pork, while the
demand was fair.

TELEGRAPHIC REPORTS.
NEW ORLEANS, FEB. 6.—Cotton has suffered a de-
cline of Vic. since the receipt of the Canada's advices.
FEB. 7.—The sales of cotton have been 4,000 bales at
he. decline since the Canada's news. Flour has declined
1,000 brls. Ohio ;sold :at 4 dolls. Ioe., and St. Louis
at 4 dolls. 25c. Bacon sides are at 7c., and shoulders
Gie. Prime barrelled lard sells at 74c. to Sc., and
kegs at 83. e. Sugar, molasses, and pork are unchanged.
NORFoLIC, FEB. 6.—Corn is advancing, and sales of
yellow and white have been made at 63c. to 64c. Our
market generally is active, but cotton is dull.
