The Royal mail steamship Canada, Capt. Lang,
which sailed from Boston on the 20th and touched

unimportant.
It was stated at Washington that General Jerez
would immediately communicate with the Govern-
ment of Nicaragua relative to the non-success of his
mission, and ask for further instructions. He was
emphatically informed by Mr. Cass, that whatever
may be done by France or any other foreign power,

The Irish commercial flag was presented to the
captain of the Prince Albert before he sailed from

terest. The Albert was escorted by a large party
of citizens as far as Fort Hamilton, where the flag
was presented to the captain, who immediately had
it hoisted to the top of his mainmast.
In regard to the condition of the Atlantic Tele-
graph Cable, the following is the latest telegram :
" Trinity Bay, Oct. 8, 1858. I regret to say that
the preconcerted signals arranged by' Mr. Thomson
have failed to elicit any improvement in the recep-
tion of signals here. I do not know if any improve-
ment has taken place at Valentia. I commence re-
peating the same system on Wednesday next."
The New York Herald has the following special
piece of news :—" We have been placed in posses-
mon of information, oonarrning our Sttitomont in
regard to the intention of the British Government
to lay a cable between Ireland and Newfoundland.
Arrangements will soon be made with the view of
establishing communication between these two
points next year, in the event of their being unable
to work through the present line. In this matter
the British Government are governed by. their
own interest, as they have already experienced
the advantage of being placed in direct
connexion with their colonial possessions on
this side of the ocean. Before the cable
stopped working they were enabled to send
two despatches of the greatest value and import-
ance to the colonial authorities ; and having once
practically realised the benefit to be derived from
the line, it is their policy and. their interest to re-
establish the communication at the earliest possible
moment." _ _ _

A letter from New Orleans states that the fever
does not abate in any degree, and will not until
they have a frost.
Accounts from Mexico confirm the reports pre-
viously received of the battle between the forces
under Vidaurri and Miramon. The conflict lasted
four days, and Vidaurri was badly beaten. He
had retreated to Monterey, and was making pre-
parations for another battle with his antagonist.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
The New York stock and money market is thus noticed
in the Evening Post of that city en the 19th Oct. :
" The movement in stocks to-day is of a very
the buoyant
character, the volume of dealings, as indicated by ag-
gregate per values attached to the stock list, exceeding a
million and a half. The bidding since the close of the ses-
sion continues spirited. The heaviest business was in
Reading, Cleveland and Toledo, Rock Island, and New
York Central. The activity in Michigan Southern Gua-
ranteed shares has somewhat subsided. In consequence of
the increased activity in stock there is a freer movement in
money at the recent statement in the rates of interest.
" The exchange market closer very firm, with but few
bills on the market. The filling of large Englidi orders
for cotton at the South yesterday will probably be felt be-
fore the next regular mail.

REPRESENTATION OF MANCHESTER.—Lord Stan-
ley has declined to retire from King's Lynn in order to con-
test the seat for Manchester. In a late edition of Saturday
the Manchester Courier says :—" We extremely regret to
say that, under all circumstances, Lord Stanley, with
great reluctance, and after much hesitation, considers that
he would not be justified in accepting the offer which the
Conservative and other electors of Manchester have felt dis-
posed to make to him.' This announcement has only just
reached us, and we are assured that it was only at the last
moment, and after an earnest consultation with his imme-
diate and political friends, that his lordship arrived at a de-
cision which will create great disappointment in this city."
Up to Saturday Mr. Bazley was the only candidate in the
field, and is likely to be unopposed.
