Vera Cruz dates to the 26th ult. had reached
New Orleans. The conduct, 5,000,000 dollars
in specie, which left the city of Mexico on the
28th May, was seized b'y 'General Robles 40 mires
from Vera Cruz. The.coriducta arrived at Jalapa
on the 10th Juno,: and remained there a week, by
order of General Robles,-fer-examination: It started
again on the 16th under a permit from Robles, and
when near the National bridge he overtook it, and
ordered its return. to Jalapa,,by the authority of
Miran-ion. The conclude, rclused to obey the order,
when General. Robles ordered it to be 'shipped on
board a British vessel off Sacrificios, but her com-
mander refused to receive it, notwithstanding the
oiders of the French and English ministers to do so.
The conducta still remained at Reconada, subject to
the orders of Robles. It was reported that the Eng-
lish and French ministershad arranged for shipping
it by a British.. war vessel at MacOmbo. Mr.
M‘Lane, ihe,American minister had sent Captain
Farragut, of, the United States sloop of war,
Brooklyn, to deMand the release of the American
portion of the specie, amounting tb about 2,000,000
dollars, but the result, of .his mission was not knoWn.
The. English fleet had been ordeied to Vera Cruz.
All the Englsh subjects had been banished from the
capital, Minister Otway acquiescing.
A train on the *Michigan Southern Railroad had
been thrown from the track by t`h3 washing away of
a culvert, near South Bend, Indiana. The stream..._
where it took place is naturally a small rivulet, but
was much swollen by heavy rains, and the flood of
wood probably choked the culvert, converting the
embankment into a dam; and the great weight of
water, with the concussion of the crossing train,
caused the sad calamity. There were about 150 pa-
ssengers in the train, 33 persons were taken from
the ruins dead, and 50 to 60 others were wound&d.
The train was running between 19 and 20 miles an.
hour. The train going West passed- over, the em-
bankment safely three hoursllefore the: accident.
A Washington telegrarci says :
InformatiOn has been received from a source regarded
as thoroughly reliable giving the particulars of the contem-
plated filibuster descent on Nicaragua. The names of cer-
tain parties who sustain Walker with arms and money are
given, and the enjoyment of the benefits of the transit route
are to compensate in part for the expenses thus incurred,
It is stated that the expedition will start by the middle of
August, and that a party of filibusters will rendeZVous at
Florida, and be conveyed to Central America in the Scot-
tish Chief. Whether or not this information is strictly
true, it is certain our Government will endeavour to arrest
all such illegal interprises—the orders to our naval vessels
for this purpose, heretofore issued, being still in full force.
General Gerez, beibre he left for Nicaragua, was fully in-
formed of the filibustering movements.
" The letter of General Cass on neutral rights is still
under advisement: Under the broad doctrine that free ships
make free goods, with the exception of contraband of war,
our Government assumes that there should be no increase
of the number of articles contraband of war: On the con-
trary, that number is considered:should be limited to, and
indeed confined to, actual munitt4s of •;war, and-these,
indeed,, should only be liable to seizure upon an attempt to
enter enemies' ports. 'Coal, therefore, can be carried by our
ships without risk.". _

California advises to June 6fh, and £2,650,341
dols. in gold, had reached New:York.: Ince Califor-
nia news is unimportant.
From Central America it is stated that the Eng-
lish Government had concluded a treaty with
Guatemala:relative to, the boundary lines existing
between the republic and British Honduras. It
was feared a war would soon break out between
San Salvador and Honduras. • •
The wheat harvest was far advanced in several
states, and the accounts were generally quite
favourable. In Kentucky the crop was-described
us•unprecedentedly large, and the quality exceed-
ingly fine. In Tennessee the crop was large,
though in some sections slightly damaged by the
fly. In Maryland and Virginia the papers of those
states all concur that the crop was excellent. In
Maryland and Lower Virginia the harvest was
progressing.

In Alaba-ma and North Ctirolinathe yield of wheat
was remarkable good.
In Southern Illinois' the , papers say harvesting
was going on in good earnest, and the yield was
very heavy ; no rust. There is no doubt that in all
the north-western states the crop will be a fair
vorago.
In Ohio,about one quarter part of the wheat had
been lost by the frcst, which came at the most
critical period of tl.e plant, but the planting was so
large that an average quantity would be harvested.
