America. The cholera had broken out among the
troaps returning from Nicaragua. A. revolution
had broken out on the borders of San Labrador,
but it had been quelled. A famine prevailed in
Honduras. General Canas occupied Nicaragua
with a Costa Rican force, and the Presidental elec-
tion had not t.iken place. The Costa Rican congress
meets on the 6th of September, when it is believed
Mora wilt ba elected president for life.
We have dates from Valparaiso to July 15th

continued. The fever was making great ravages in
Bolivia. Vivanco was at Arequipa, and the Presi-
dent, with General San Roman, was about to
attack him.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
The money market at New York had improved
slightly, and there was a good sale for prime paper on the
31 at 12 to 15 per cent. There is a cessation of specie
shipments to Europe. Exchange on London has fallen
to 9 per cent. for bankers' bills. Thus there wilt be an
immediate aceumuletion of gold in the vaults of the
hanks. The cotton market continued dull, without
quotable change in prices. The stock in this port, in
store and shipboard, has been ascertained to be 16,246
bales, a figure a good .leal below what we had been led
to expect from the previous weekly tables published in a
leading city price current. Up to the latest mail dates
the receipts of all the ports were 2,906,716 bales against
3,489,170 in 1856, and the total exports have been
2,248,590, against 2,940,291 bales last, year. Our ex-
ports to Great Britain exhibit the greatest falling off, and
are 1,422,000, against 1,946,000 last year. To France
we have sent 413,000 bales, against 479,000 last year.
The total to other ports in Europe this year has been
412,000, against 520,000 last year. The Southern ports
have sent to Northern ports 820,581, against 856,202
bales last year. We quote 15ic. for Midland Uplands,
ditto Orleans 16c. The markei-, for breadstuffa opened
dull; notwithstanding, there existed a hope rather than
the belief that prices ha 4 touched bottom, yet under a
desire to realise. Both kinds of Southern wheat are
lower and dull. The sales were about 1 dol. 600. to 1
dol. 68e. for prime Tennessee white ; 1 dol.' 45c. to 1
dol. 650. for amber ditto • and 1 dol. 50c. to 1 dol. 65c.
for Southern white. Freights are.very dull, there being
very few engagements to any quarter. To Liverpool
grain is quoted at 3d. to 31d. in bulk, 30. to 4d. in
ships' bags ' • 400 barrels flour were taken at 9d. To
London 100, barrels etude turpentine were taken
at 2s. 6d.

THE LATE HORRIBLE MURDER AT
LEIGH WOODS, CLIFTON.

BRISTOL, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
Notwithstanding the extensive publicity which
has been given to this murder, and the exertions
which have been used, both by the Bristol and
Somersetshire County Police, no identification of
the body has yet been ascertained. A circumstance
has, however, been brought to light, which pro-
mises more than anything that has heretofore
occurred to lead to that result, and which has, in
fact, already led to the arrest of one party.
When the post-mortem examination of the body
was about to barnacle, and the hair was being removed
fur that purpose, it was observed that the deceased
had worn a sort of riband a; the back of the head.
During the post-mortem examination this riband
became, in f3,111:V3 sort of way, lost sight of,
but yesterday afternoon it was picked up by police-
constable Rowe, 77, of the county force, near the
spot whiire the body had hem opened, trampled
upon and dirty. The constable took it into the
New Inn, where it was examined and found to be
composed of some pieces of rich watered silk, neatly
trimmed, and edged with velvet. It had beet)
made up on a piece of card, and on that card being
cleaned and examined it was found to be a card of
membership of a carpenters' society connected with
Bristol. The card when found was broken, but the
fragments were ma. cited, and there were cliscovei ed
upon the wordq, " Brother George Davis is clear
up t) this date, 10th January, 1854;" sth
division, 71, in writing. Upon inquiries being
made at the club, it was av:certained that the card
had been issued to a man named George Davis, wl o
res des at Clifton. Hotwells, but who was engaged.
'at the time of the discovery upon a work at Ham-
brook, Gloucestershire. It was farther as' ertaned
that the man Davis ought to have attended his club
last night, which he did not do, and consequently
a constable proceeded this morning to Hambro:,k,
and Davis is now at the New Inn. Whether any-
thing is kriown respecting him beyond the fact of
his name being on the card, I am unable to say ;
but should there be nothing more than that, it
seems hardly probable that he will be detained in
custody.
The woods were extensively searched yes!erday,
and a pond in Mr. Stnyth's grounds drawn. The
only thing found was a pockethanclkerchief, which
) was wet and rolled up, and which was picked up
• about 100 yards from the scene of the murder.
