AAIERICAN NEWS.

ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.

By the Royal Mail steam-ship Hibernia, Captain
Lang, which arrived this afternoon, we have advices
from New York by telegraph, via Halifax, to the
25th ult. The American steam-ship Atlantic, hence,
arrived at New York on the 21st, after an extraor-
dinary run ; and the mail steam-ship Asia, at Halifax,
on the 22d ult

The new Cabinet under the administration of Pre-
sident Fillmore was completed. It consists of Daniel
Webster, Secretary of State; Corwin, Secretary of
the Treasury ; Pearce, Secretary of the Interior ;
Bates, Secretary of War ; Chittenden, Attorney-
General ; and Hall, Postmaster-General.
The delegate to Congress from New Mexico had
been refused a seat in the House by a majority of
11 votes. The treaty with Mexico relative to the
Tehuantepec route had been completed with provisions
similar to those of the Nicaragua treaty.
It had been decided to execute Professor Webster
on the 3()q.h ult. There was no hope of a com-
mutation.

We have later advices from California by the Cres-
cent City, arrived at New York, from Chagres. An-
other very extensive conflagration had destroyed pro-
perty to the amount of 5,000,000 dolls. The Crescent
City brought 180,000 dolls., principally the property
of passengers. Mining prospects were never better,
additional discoveries having been made. The emi-
gration to the mines was exceedingly extensive. Re-
ported discoveries of extensive deposits of gold in
Oregon were again prevalent.
The whole Atlantic seaboard had been ravaged by,
a severe storm : many lives and much valuable pro-
perty had been destroyed. The ship Elizabeth, from
Leghorn to Gibraltar, ran ashore and lost some of her
passengers, including Celesta Faulina, of some ;
George Bradford, of Germany ; Count and Countess
Ossili and child, of Florence.
From Kingston, Jamaica, we have advices to the
15th ult., being seven days later than those brought
to Southampton by the Dee.
From De Cordova's Intelligences we learn that a
better feeling had sprung up, consequent on the
supposition that arrivals for some weeks would be to
a limited extent. Holders therefore refrained from
pressing their stocks on the market. The weather
was exceedingly hot, with occasional showers of rain.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, JULY 23.

The continued high rates of foreign exchange pre-
vented operations in them except for actual payment, and
there does not appear to be much prospect of lower rates
at present, although no advance is anticipated. We
quote London 110 i to 1 lei; Paris, 5 22i to 5 21i;
Hamburgh, 35i to 36; Bremen, 60; Amsterdam, 40i
to 40;1.

Cotton—Our last review was per Europa, the 16th
inst. The sales effected from the 16th to the 19th
amounted to 4,900 bales, at full previous quotations. On
the 19th the America's news was received by
it h
telegraph,
and 1,500 bales were sold at fully old rates to dsame time there was generally a feeling of disappoint-
went at the moderate advance obtained in Liverpool,.r in
view of the unfavourable position of the growing (o
advised from this side, and the favourable state
of
' trade
and and diminishing stocks held abroad.
Breadstuffs —Flour: and wheat steady, with rather
more doing, including the usual variety of domestic
brands, at about the same rates. Sales of Canadian
were light, and the stock in first hands reduced; holders
were asking better prices. Be) and a lot of Geunesco
wheat we heard of no sake of moment. Corn sold pretty
freely at about previous rates, including low and high
mixed, with some parcels of round. There was no
change in rye or oats.
Iron—The market for foreign iE on is firm, Scotch pig
being 20 dolls. to 20 dolls. 50c; nglish, 36 dolls. The
market for American iron is dull.
Freights—
The amount offering is not large, and we
have no alteration to notice in rates. Cotton to Liver-
pool, ic.; flour and meal, 9,1.; heavy goods, 9s. to 10s.;
grain, 3s. To Havre, ashes, 4 dolls. to 5 dolls. To
London, tobacco, 17s. 6d.; flour and naval stores, Is.;
heavy goods, 155.; provisions, 3s.
The letters per Atlantic, four days later, came to hand
yesterday (Sunday).
Tepday there has been a very animated demand, the
sales amounting to upwards of 6,000 bales, at regular
prices, varying from I} to f above the annexed quotations.

keep faith with any existing cre.litor who might demand
payment of his money, has not been realised; and that
there being no other remedy than a new legislative enact-
ment to enlarge the powers of the Commissioners ap-
pointed under the 13th Victoria, chapter 26, it became
necessary to convoke the Legislature at this inconve-
nient period of the year. We still cling to the hope that
its
aid Majesty's Government may be induced to lend
aid to lighten the burdens of this impoverished colony,.
at least by giving its countenance, with the sanction
of
the Imperial Parliament, to the raising the requisite
sum on loan, on the most reasonable terms, based un the
appropriation of an adequate portion of the island re-
venue to give security to the lenders. The House con-
tinues fully alive to the importance of upholding public
credit, and will proceed with measures requisite for that
purpose, to carry oat the purpose of that Loan Act of
last session, which has been found inadequate, and to
take such other steps as may be necessary to remedy
the difficulties respecting the Receiver General's office,
to which your Excellency has made allusion.'
An attempt was made in the House to substitute
another address rather less temperate in its tone,
delaying the consideration of the Loan Bill until
the usual period for the meeting of the goose;
bat the amendment was lost by a large majority.
The House made the necessary amendment to the
Loan Bill, and also to the Receiver-General's Bill,
reducing the amount of security to forty thousand pounds.
The session only lasted a few days.
Vacancies have occurred in the representation of
several parishes by the retirement of members, some of
whom have accepted offices of emolument.
A little interest was excited in Sc. Catherine on ac-
count of the resignation of the Hon. Custos Turner,
who threw up his commission in consequence of his Ex-
cellency the Governor appointing a magistrate for the
parish, of whom the custus did not approve, and without
previously consulting him on the subject.
Our advices announce the death of the Hon. John
Wilson, deputy postmaster-general, at an advanced age.
There bad been pretty fair rains in various parts of
the island.

GREY TowN, Mos,:wrro, JUNE 24.—The inha-
bitants here were hourly in expectation of an attack
from the Nicaraguans, influenced by the Americans, but
before the Dee's departure all fears were dispelled, news
having arrived from the interior that all was then quiet.
The American Chargé d'Affaires, Mr. Squires, left for
the States, under the direction of her Britannic Msjestys
Acting Consul-General and Agent, Dr. Green. Grey
Town has assumed a much more regular and organized
state, though from the many interruptions of the Nicara-
guans, it has not progressed so rapidly as the settlers
anticipated. Messrs. Beshar and Co. have contracted for
and hold the Customs' Duties for 800 dolls. per month.
The ship canal is still under consideration.

Clla.CtiEs.—Largestimbers of passengers continue to
pour in here for the gold regions. Preparations are
being made for the railroad, about 200 Carthagenian
labourers were landed for the works. A depot has
been formed at Navy Bay, opposite the old town of
Chagres; the Americans have formed a regular settle-
ment; unfortunately it is the resort of the lowest cha-
racters, And scenes of a desperate nature frequently
occur.
