SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY MORNING.
The United States mail steamer Arago, Captain
Lines, arrived at Cowes this morning, after a pas-
sage of 11 days and 6 hours from New York.
Her advicas are to the 30th ult., three days later
than those by the Asia.
The Arago has, besides the usual mails, 300 pas-
sengers, 1,058,000 dols. in specie, and 6,000 bushels
of wheat. She has experienced ordinary weather
for the season ; came south of the Banks, and saw
no ice.
The mail steamer Arabia, from Liverpool, May
16, arrived at New York on the evening of the
28th, and the Ariel, from Southampton, May 16,
on the afternoon of the 29th. The Arago ex-
changed signals with the English lark Stirlingshire,
June 4th ; bark showing in a white signal No. 393,
June sth ; bark Elizabeth, June 6th ; a Cunard
steamer, from Havre for Liverpool, June 10th, off
the Lizard.

Louis Grellet, one of the parties concerned in the
Great Northern Railway frauds', sent back under
the Extradition Treaty, in charge of a United
States' police officer, came by the Arago.
General Walker has surrendered, and Rivas is
iu the hands of the Allies, despairing of success.
Walker made terms of capitulation with the Costa
Ricans on the Ist of May, having then less than 300
men, and but two days' provisions.
General Hermingsen,
_Colonel Titus, and some
others of Walker's men, arrived at New York by
the ',lllinois steamer on the 28th ult. Walker
and staff arrived at New Orleans on he 27th, iu the
steamer Empire City. He was received by 10,000
people, who escorted him to the St. Charles Hotel,
where he made a speech thanking them for his
sp'endid reception, and saying that in the mass be-
fore him he recognized the American love of liberty,
and that victory was still sure. He was obliged to
speak twice before the crowds were sa'isfied. The
greatest excitement prevailed in the city. 101 guns
announced on the 7th May te the people of San
Jose, Costa Rica, the occupation of Rivas by the
allies. General Mora, with his divion of the army,
was expected at San Jose on the 13th, and great
preparations were being made to give him an en-
thusiastic reception.
Lieutenant Strain, a leader of the Darien ex-
ploring expedition, died at Aspinwall on the 15th.
The reported division of Nicaragua is contra-
dicted, and a plan was on foot for re-establishing
the old Central American Confederation.
From Panama we have a rumour that the
Islands in the Bay of Panama had been ceded to
England in the settlement of the Macintosh claim,
as also the tonnage duty accruing on the American
ves,els in the Isthmus ports, but this wants confir-
mation.

Advice.. from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec state
that violent gales had been experienced on the
Pacific side, and that the country was much dis-
turbed by revolutionary attempts.

The-news of the defeat of the Sonora Filibusters,
_under Colonel Crabbe, is confirmed ; 14 only of his
party escaped.
The Californian news, • though two weeks later,
is unimportant.
The cotton market at New York on the 29th was
quiet, but firm. Holders received the foreign news
in a favourable light, while purchasers regarded
it to be less favourable than they had anticipated ;
hence transactions were restricted to a few hundred
bales, without quotable change in prices. The
news checked the upward tendency in flour, espe-
cially for the common and lower grades, while
buyers were unwilling to purchase freely without
some concession in prices. Sales were consequently
moderate, without change of moment in prices.
Wheat was in good demand, and prime lots were
firm. Indiana red sold at 1 dol. 67c. ; fair Western
do. at I dol. 62c. ; Canadian Club, at 1 dol. 62c. ;
and medium to choice Southern and Missouri white
ranged from 100 dols. 75c. to 100 dols. 80c. The
upward tendency in corn was checked with sales of
Southern yellow and white at 100 dots. 3c. to 100
dole. 4c., and Western mixed, at 1014 c. to 103 c.
Rye sold at 120 c. Prime northern pork sold at
23 dols. 90c., with small lots at 23 dols. 95c.
Sugars were quiet, while holders stood out for pre-
vious current rates, regarding the future move-
ments of the trade with much confidence, while
buyers were unwilling to enter the market freely
without some relaxation in prices —hence the
sales were confined to small jobbing lots, without
noticeable change in quotations. Coffee was quiet
but firm. Freights were inactive and rates some-
what irregular to British port', while engagements
were moderate. The stock market opened with a
strong upward tendency on the 29th, and with con-
siderable activity on all the leading railroad stocks.
New York, Central Erie, Cleveland and Toledo,
Michigan, Southern, and in fact all the Western
railroad stocks were particularly active, and most of
them advanced a fraction or so at the first Board.
