the same satisfactory condition as before. Exchange

on Hamburgh, 36 to 361.

TWO DAYS LATER.
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH TO HALIFAX.)
Previous to the departure of the America from
Halifax, advices two days later were received on
board, by telegraph, from New York.
There is nothing of importance in the commercial
items.

In the political intelligence, however, we have an
announcement from President Fillmore that he had
determined on calling out the military to enforce the
provisions of the Fugitive Slave Bill.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL.
SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY NIGHT.
The Dee, with West India and Mexican mails,
arrived this evening. She brings 280,480 dollars in
the aggregate, 30,000 of which are on account of
Mexican dividends. There are no later dates from
Jamaica or California.

The cholera had disappeared at Acapulco. Pa-
mina and the Isthmus were healthy. It was re-
ported that the Nicaraguans were about to make an
attempt to recover Grey Town. The cause of the
Dee's late arrival was in consequence of the Clyde
having met with bad weather in the Gulf of Mexico,
which prevented her reaching St. Thomas's in proper
time. There are no mails from Tampico. A revo-
lution had broken out at Panama the object of which
was to establish a new republic, and to annex it to
the United States. It was a signal failure.

them may be named the magnificent banquet at the Man-
sion-hone, London, to the different mayors, and honoured
by the presence of his Royal Highness Prince Albert; and,
more recently, the one one so liberally subscribed for at
York, these entertainments bringing together gentlemen se-
lected by their townsmen, as a mark of esteem, to fill the
pleasing am' important office of mayor.
