arrived at Ne. York on the 24ch ult.

The new United States mail steam-ship Humboldt,
Linea commander, sister ship to the Franklia, would
leave on the 3d inst. for Southampton.
Our miscellaneous accounts announce that a large
new steam-shin, of 1,200 tons, was being constructed at
New York, for a new steam line, to run between
Charleston and Liverpool. In Pittsburg Jenny Lind
had been grossly insulted, stones having been thrown
into her carriage, and afterwards into her dressing-
room. She subsequently refused to sing again, and left
instantly for Ba).imore. Great indignities Had been
offered in South Carolina to the officer from Boston who
conveyed the fugitive slave Simms back to that state.
On the 231 ult. a grand entertainment was given at
Astor-house, New York, by the St. George's Society,
at which Sir H. wuo had just recovered min
severe indispo,ition, was one of the principal.gu,sts and
speakers. Dr. Beals presided, and the Swedish Minis.
ter, Mr. Lyvon, sou of Sir E. B. Lytton, was also pre-
sent. Several of the orations, more especially those of
Sir H. Bulvrer, were of a remarkable character. Cap-
rain Cooper responded for the British army, Sir H.
Bulwer for the Duke of Wcaltugt:)v, and Mr. Lytton for
his father, the great novelist.
A steam-boat had been seized at New York charged
with having been intended for the Cuban expedition.
Six persons had been arrested and held to bAI. The
President has issued a proclamation against such expe-
diions. The particulars of the affair are thus re-
lated:—

" The United States Marshal having received intelligence
that a vessel had been chartered by certain persons inte-
rested in the invasion of Cuba, and secretly fitted out with
implements of war, and tak .n down the bay, where she was
anchored, awaiting the arrival of several hundred mea, the
Marshal had the steamer Jacob Bell charterea and kept in
readiness at Pier No. 1, North River. In the mean time he
called upon the Chief of Police to furnish a force of his men
to aid and as-ist the United States authorities. All ar-
rangements being consummated. they boarded the steamer
Jacob Bell, which steamed towards Governor's Island, but
turned up the East River and went alongside of a United
States revenue cutter, and was made fast, and sailed down
the bay in search of the craft suspected. The Marshal and
his forces remained down the bay until Thursday morning,
to watch the vessel and such persons as were expected
to be conveyed to the craft at different hours of the night.
The suspected craft, however, was the steam-boat Cleopatra,
which, during all his search, was lying quietly at the pier,
foot of North Moore-street. She is a large boat, about 14
years old, and was employed as a sound-boat, to which she
proved herself well adapted. She has a large quantity of
coal on board (we understand 250 tons were ordered), occu-
pying the forward cabin and hold, boiler-rooms, and a quan-
tity piled on the forward deck. She has also on board a
great number of large empty casks, which now stand on end.
the whole capable of containing, probably, some 7,000 gal-
lons of water. She looks rough, and not newly painted, nor
has anything been done to her to give her any different ap-
pearance from an ordinary sound or river boat. The water-
casks, &c., we understand, were ordered by Captain
.Wilson,
who claims to command her. She was alleged to be bound
to Galveston, Texas. There were some sugar-boxes, &c., on
board, such as fire-arms are usually packed in, but on exa-
mining them, they were found to contain hams and other arti-
cles. Application wasmade to the Navy-yard during Saturday
for some marines to take charge of the Cleopatra, which was
granted, and they now have her in custody. Mr. C. Rack-
lewitz,a young man, a native of Poland, one of the deputy-
marshals, went to South Amboy on the same day, where it
was said some Germans and others had assembled with a
view to embarking in a Cuban expedition, disguised himself
as an emigrant, and conversing in German wit . some of the
parties, obtained informatiou which induced him to get five
of the parties to come with him to this city. Affidavits
were prepared charging William 'l'. Rogers, jun. (nephew of
Dr. J. K. Rogers),-John L. O'Sullivan (son-in-law of Dr.R.),
t;aptain Le,' is, formerly of the steam boat Creole, engaged
in the former expedition (charged with being, is tact, Cap-
tain of the Cleopatr,.), Major Louis Schlesinger, ne of the
Hung 'Tian patriots. Pedro Sanches, a Spaniard, residing in
this city, and Dr. Daniel H Burtnett, an old resident, with
preparing the means for a military expedition against Cuba,
in possession of the Queen of Spain, contrary to the sixth
section of the Neutrality Act of the 20th of April, 1618.
Tae parties thus charged were arrested and held to bail in
3,000 dollars each to appear for examination."
The Erie Railroad was completed as far as Lake Ede.
Sir Henry Buiwer delivered a long address at the St.
George's Society on 23d April.
From Mexico dates aro to the 9th of April. The
financial condition of the Republic was deplorable. A
formal complaipt had been made by the Ministry to the
United States Government as to the Indian outrages on
the frontier, which by treaty the United States were
bound to protect. Mexico refuses to ratify the Tehuan-
tPpec Treaty as yet. The correspondents of the New
York journals say that there will be a deficiency on the
year to meet the exigencies of the Government amount-
ing to 4,000,000 dolls. The Minister of Finance was
endeavouring to consolidate the interior debt, and to
raise a revenue. A loan of several millions was con-
templsted.
Truziva and Co., Mexico, had failed for 250,0001.

sterling.
Our latest advices from Hayti furnish a more con-
nected account of the recent plot to overthrow the Im-
periel Government, and re-establish the Republic. The
conspirators, it would seem, were blacks, and not mulat-
toes. The discovery was made in consequence ut the
arrest of a person who was suspected of rubbery. Five
of the conspirators had been shot.
New Orleans is again threatened with the :desolation
of water, owing to the Rood in that river and the cre-
vasses in the levees, both above and below the city.
Butte, field's stables with fourteen horses, and several
adjoining buildings, have been destroyed by fire at
Utica, and the alleged incendiaries have been arrested.
Incendiarism is the curse of American cities. At New
Orleans, last week, Charles Roussell and his wile agreed
to commit suicide. He mixed two tumblers of
poison and took one of them, but the lady changed her
mind immediately after her husband had swallowed the
fatal dose. He died. She lives, and has been dis-
charged from custody by the magistrate. The cause of
this romantic suicide is said to have been jealousy.
.John Clines was hung at Freehold, New Jersey, on
Friday, for the murder of James Shields. 'The night
before his execution he set fire to the prison, but the
flames were extinguished and his escape was prevented.
a few days since a terrible railroad riot, in which
six hundred Irishmen were engaged, took place at
Hornersville, New York. It arose out of a strike for
wages. Three were killed, and many wounded. The
military were called out, and the ringleaders arrested.
Another railroad riot took place on the Central-road,
near Greensburg, Pennsylvania—one killed, and several
wounded. Hazard's powder mill blew up at Enfield, on
Friday week—one killed and three wounded. A free
negro woman, named Barnes, was murdered at Leonard-
town, a few days ago, and her husband is accused of
the foul deed. A curious affair recently took place at
Rushville, Illinois. A blacksmith, who was a notorious
drunkard, with a wife and family he did net support, was
convicted of inveterate intemperance, and sold by auc-
tion, for the term of four months' labour !

During March the New York Post-office received by
the European mail steamers 618,990 letters, and 293,264
newspapers; and forwarded 620,181 letters, and 366,916
newspapers.

Btisinees throughout the States was in an excellent

condition. The eXpurt of specie from New York con-
tinued to be on a considerable scale, and seemed likely
to continue, as quotations for English exchange bad not
given way. The money market continued in a satisfac-
tory state. Money was by no means scarce. The de-
mand for stocks was firm, at former rates.

There was little doing in breadstuff, at receding
prices. Western canal flour, 4 dolly. 310.10 4 dolls. 50e.

The cotton market at New York continued in a de-
pressed condition; sales could not be made except at a
reduction, which holders generally had submitted to.

Provisions were in good demand, at firm prices.
Freights were inactive, and low in quotation.

BARREL ORGANS AND ADVERTISING VANS.—The
following is a re urn to an order of the Honourable the House
of Commons, dated April 14, 1851, for copy "of the instruc-
tions given by the Commissioners of the Police to the police
officers relative to the preventing obstructions and other
nuisances, ca Ind by the large travelling barrel organs and
advertisingyans in and about the metropolis":

" The police would be justified in stopping music playing
in the streets, and, if necessary, removing the parties in
cases where, from the loud noise or other circumstances,
danger is caused to passengers in the streets, horses frightened,
or the thoroughfares obstructed. Let instructions be given
accordingly for the guidance of the police.
