THE UNITED STATES

AND CANADA,

Livaarooa, Sara. 22.—The arrival at our port
this afternoon of the fine steam-ship America, after
a rapid passage across the ocean of eleven days,
places us in possession of several days' later intelli-
gence from North America and the British American
possessions than that to hand on Friday last per the
steam-ship Atlantic.
The America sailed from New York on the lith
instant, and made the ordinary call (to land and re-
ceive mails and passeneers) at Halifax on the 13-1.
By the advices we have just received we learn that
the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States will be adjourned on the 30th. The
proceedings in the former assembly since the Atlan-
tic's departure have not been important.
In the House of Representatives, after the rejection
of a motion to incorporate the southern portion of
California into a distinct state, the consideration of
the admission of the territory in its entirety was gone
into, and a Bill admitting it into the Union as
the thirty-first state was passed, and the legislators
deputed from the district at the late election were
admitted.
The excitement at New York attendant on the
first appearance of Jenny Lind had not in any degree
abated, on the contrary, it was hourly increasing.
The first concert was to have taken place on the
evening of the day on -which the America sailed. We
have therefore no details of the. proceedings, but some
idea of what they have been _mat be formed from the
fact that. up to the period of the steamer's
departure it was ascertained that 5,000 seats had been
secured by the public, at a cost altogether of 30,000
dollars.
The New York State elections, which at another
tune would have been causing much political excite-
ment, create at present little interest, although from
the number of representatives and state officers to be
elected, and the near approach of the election (the sth
of November), the attention of the press was now
much directed to them. A vigorous effort will be
made on this occasion to reject the free school system
Of education, which has latterly been adopted by the
State.
The Agricultural State Fair had passed oil with
great eclat at Albany. An •immense number of vi-
sitors had been attracted to the show, which was more
extensive than usual.
The provincial journals received in New York give
disastrous accounts of the effects of the late storms
and inundation. •
The number of emigrants arriving out from Eu-
rope are reported as considerably on the decrease.
A State Convention was called far the 11th inst.
(the day of the steamer's departure) at Syracuse, New
York.
The accounts received from Rio Janeiro, and
which extend to the 29th of Jaly, describe the state
of affairs at that port as must critical for our coun-
trymen. The previous accounts represented a narrow
escape from murder of some British sailors. We
now learn that the feeling on the part of the populace
was now being extended to all British citizens, and
that some " foreigners," who had been mistaken for
Englishmen, were severely beaten in the streets. The
greatest excitement prevailed, which was considerably
added to by apprehensions of an attack from General
Roses, who was concentrating bis troops around
Rio. In the meantime the British cruisers were con-
tinuing their capture of Brazilian vessels engaged in
th slave trade. For this purpose the had entered
the harbours, and seiz?d some vessels uny der the guns
of the forts.
Canadian advices contain some official changes,
consequent on the resignation of Mr. Justice Row-
land. The Attorney-Genera!, Mr. Lafontaine, had
succeeded to the Justiceship, and Mr. Drummond,
Solicitor-General, was appointed as successor to Mr.
Lafontaine.
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
The commercial accounts from all parts of the
Union, and especially from the leading cities, repre-
aent business as being in a most healthy condition,
with every prospect of its continuing so.
The inatket for breadstuffs was still inactive, and
prices were unaltered, as the following quotations will

show.
Western Canal Flour, 4 dolls. 50a. to 4 dolls. 621 c.
cr brl.; Gennessee prime Wheat 1 doll. Sc. to 1 doll.
10c. per 601 b. ; Indian Corn, round yellow, 62c. to
64c. per bushel ; ditto flat ydlow, 62e. per bushel ;
Indian Meal, 3 dolls. to 3 dolls. 12ic. per brl.
lii cotton we have to report an average amount of
sales at New York, New Orleana, eic. The crop ac-
counts continue gloomy. Rates for New Orleans
and Mobile, middling fair to fair, at steamer's depar-
ture, were 141 c. to 14ic. per lb.
Shipowners were asking higher prices for freights,
viz., flour to Liverpool, ls. 9d. to 23. per brl.; cotton
to Liverpool, 3-16 d. to id. per lb.; grain to Liver-
pool, 41d. to .Id. per bushel.
In Exchanges on London the sales were moderate
at 110; to 110 i ; on llaniburgh, 3pi to 3G on
Bremen, 80 to 80k.
TWO DAYS LATER, ViA HALIFAX.
We have received by electric telegraph to Halifax
ria New Brunswick, in time to meet the steamer at
that port, two days later news from New York. At
the period of the dispatch leaving New York the
Cotton market was reported to be more active, and
prices higher, in consequence of a scarcity in stock
on hand.
We have political new; from Washington of a
later date than that given above. The Fugitive Slave
Bill had passed the House of Representatives by ea
majority of 34.
The Secretaryship of the Interior, vacated by
Mr. M‘liennan, has been filled up by Mr. Stewart,
of Virginia (Protectionist).

SUICIDE THROUGH JEALGUSY."OII aturoray an
inquest was held by Mr. Caster, at the Europa Tavern,
Church-street, Battersea, upon the body of Catherine
lietcher, aged 42, who committed suicide by hanging herself
with a piece of whipcord. Mr. John Ketcher, the husband
of the deceased, who seemed to be about 25 years of age, said
be was a working chemist; that on Thursday last a daughter
of the deceased by a former husband canie to him from their
lodgings, and told him his wife had got some salts of lemon,
with which she intended to destroy herself. Witness told
her not to make herself uneasy about it, as salts of lemon
would only make her sick. Shortly afterwards
he was in-
formed that his wife bad destroyed -herself; he immediatelyran home and found the deceased hanging by a thin cud to
a brass hook in her room. She had often threatened to com-
mit suicide, but be had no idea that she was in earnest. She
was of an exceedingly jealous disposition, and he believed
this had driven her mad, although there was aot the least
ground for her suspicions. The witness, while giving his
evidence, was greatly afflicted. The daughter of the de-
ceaeed having given similar testimony, the jury returned for
their verdict that the deceased committed suicide while in a
state ofetemporary- mental derangenient.
GUARD KILLED ON THE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW
RAILWAT.—A melancholy and fatal accident befel one of the
guards of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway ye
forenoon. He was the guard of the express train which left
two
intermediaate-p stations. One of, these is Linlithgow, which
the train was nearing, with the steam shut oft; when the
guard was obseived by one of the passengers to fall off; on
the arrival of the train at Linlithgow assistance was imme-
diately sent back, when the unfortunate man was found in
life, but he only survived a few minutes. He had apparently
struck on the retaining wall which bounds the line, by
which
his head was dreadfully damaged. The cause of the acci-
dent is unknown, but it is thought lie was in the act of ap-
plying the brake to stop the train at the station when he lost
his balance and was pitched Mr. His name was William
BobertEon. He was much esteemed for his caution, steadi-
ness. and courtesy. The wifortnnate man has left a wife
and six children, residing in Edinburgh. It may be worth
stating, in connexion with this painful event, that Robertson
was one of the few guards on the Edinburgh and Glasgow
line whose life was not insured in the Railway Passengers'
Insurance Company; and that no farther back than Wed-
nesdair last he had been urged bv one of the clerks to avail
himself of the advantages of that associetion.—Scotsinan of
Saturday.
WHALE FISHING..--A letter holt the mate of the
Alexander of Dundee, of date 25th July, states that seven
vessels are expected to have got through the barrier
f ofr
icefish ;
at
the top of Melville Bay, viz,:—The Horne, with ou
the Pacific, with one; the Joseph Green, clean; the Lord
Gambier, clean ; the Regalia, clean ; the Chieftain, one fish ;
and the American, clean. Seven vessels had come south,
viz.:—The Alexander, clean ; the Princess Charlotte, one
fish ; the Advice, clean ; the Jane, one fish ; and the St.
Andrew', clean. The other three, of which no'accounts are
sent, are the Truelove, Abram, and Ann, of Hull. It would
appear there had only been a partial opening in the barrier,
which .bad again sbut, and ',prevented the last-mentioned
vessels from getting through. Those that have got through
will have a good chance. No mention is made of the vessels
sent out in search of Sir John Franklin, except the two
Americans, which were then west of the Devil's Thumb. It
may reasonably be concluded that Captain Penny's andßaytain Austin's expeditions had got thrcugh Melville
early, as otherwise they would probably have been seen by
the whalers.--elberdeen Herald.
ACCELERATION OF TEE NORTH Mau.s.—We have
been kindly favoured by the Secretary of the Post-office,
with the following copy of the acceleration that is to take
place on the first proximo, on the north mails from Perth,
via the Scottish Midland Railway to Aberdeen. The die-
patch from Perth will take place at 2.50 Feu, as at present,
but the arrival in Aberdeen will be at 6.28 ex., in place of
7.46 ran., which will allow of an evening delivery. The
e
return from Aberdeen will be at 5.55 a.m., in place of 4.
Aare, The dispatch from Aberdeen to Inverness will take
place at 7.13 rare in Once of 8.45 F ; and the arrival at
Inverness will be at 6.93 A M., in place of 8.45 A.M. The
re turn from Invernees will be at 5.44 pl ace f 3.43
P.M. ; and the arrival in Aberdeen will be 5.10 M. instead
of 3.39 1..31.--SCo6l7lan.
CARDIGANSHIRE....- A B(.T,D WOMAN. ^ Police-
constable Harrison, of the constabulary rural police in this
county, stationed at the village of d
Llanrhysty, having oc-
casion to come to Aberystwyth on business, left his wile at
home. No sooner had the p. licernan turned his back, than
a robbeieewas committed, by a tramp at a farm-house tot
far distant from the village. The policeman's wife having
received information, immediately started off, and came up
with the tramp, with the stolen property on his person Slie
secured the thief and detained him until her husband re-
turned. —Ninth lVales Chronicle.
SINGING Mousr.—One of these extraordinary
little animals is now in the possession of Mr. Makepeace, one
of the lay clerks of Rochester Cathedral. Mr. Makepetice
was attracted by its noise, and succeeded in trapping it. It
chiefly sings in the evening, but it can be beard occasionally
through the day. The notes are not unlike those of the
linnet.—Nnidstonc kurncl.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTBMOUTTI, SEPT. 22.----The Datch frigate
Prince Von Orange arrived yesterday morning from
Curacoa, and saluted the union jack and the Corn-
mander-in-Chiet flag which was returned by the
thg-alip and platform battery, after which the cap-
tain came on shore with M. Louis Vandenbergh, his
Netherlands Majesty's Vice-Consul at this port, and
paid his respects to the Port Adtairal.
The Fox, 42, Captain Lambert, sailed this morning
,for the East India station to relieve the Cambrian.
_

The Thetis, 36, Captain Kupar, C. 8., sailed this
morning f T Lisbon, to join Commodore Faushawe's
squadron of evolution.
The Bonetta brigantine, Lieutenant-Commander
F. E. Forbes, arrived at St. Ilelen'a in the night of
Friday, and came up to Spitnead yesterday forenoon,
from 'the coast of Africa. She sailed from Sierra
Leone on the 3d of August, and has encountered some
very foul weather. The clerk in charge (Mr. Down)
died on board on the 28th of July, from coast fever,
contracted on shore by landing only one day at
Whydah on duty. The squadron was thus distributed
when tho Bonetta left. In the B;glits e---The Gla-
diator, Hecla, Jackal, and Wolverine. On the south
coast—Cyclops, Rattler, %Vaterwitch, Pluto, Flying
Fish, Phoenix, Kingfisher, Philomel, and Snap. On
the north coast—The Hound and Ranger. The
Commodore was on his way to Zangatanga. The
Archer had arrived at Ascension, and was ordered
to the Bights. The Pluto steam-vessel will
be the next vessel home, and may be expected in
about a week. The Hecla steam-sloop has been
highly successful in making prizes. She sent her
ninth into Sierra Leone about three weeks before the
Bonetta sailed, which latter has made seven during
her stay on the station. The Bonetta has been two
years and eleven months in commission, is now or-
dered to be paid off at Chatham, for which post she
sailed this morning. The commander, Lieutenant
Forbes, has been employed during the past year in
negotiating with the King of Dahomey, in the en-
deavour to establish a treaty for the abolition of the
slave trade throughout his territory, but which failed.
His Majeity reviewed his troops during Commander
Forbes' sojourn with him, and they are spoken of as
well disciplined, though 4,000 out of 10,000 of the
soldiery are women clothed as men, who perform
their military duties in every respect as well as their
male companions in arms. his Majesty, as a mark
of his especial favour, presented Commander Forbes
with a juvenile princess, aged 7 years, whom he has
brought to England to be educated. At the "Cus-
toms" (a sort of religious rite) 30 human sacrifices
were offtred to their deity, two of the (soldiers from
Attapahme, aged respectively, 40 and 50) Com-
mander Forbes purchased for 100 dolls. and sent to
Fernando Po to be liberated. The slave trade was
very brisk and the squadron very healthy.
The Hecate steam sloop was commissioned at this
port yesterday by Commander G. S. Hand. The
other appointments will be found below.

Rear-Admiral M. F. Fitzhardinge Berkeley, C B ,
one of the Lords of the Admiralty, and C:iptain Sir
Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., Surveyor of the Navy,
visited Woolwich Dockyard to-day, amid were accom-
panied by Commodore Henry Eden, Lieutenant Ro-
bertson, Mr. Macdonald, Master-Attendant; • Mr.
Laing, Master Shipwright ; Mr. Henry Chatfield,
and Mr. James Peake, assistants to the Master Ship-
wright; Mr. Edward Hutnphrye, Chief Engineer; and
Mr. John Triekett, assistant to the Chief Engineer,
while they minutely inspected the steam-vessels fit-
ting fur service at this yard, it being intended to have
32 steam-vessels constantly employed for the sup-
pression of the slave trade on the coast of Africa ; one
of these vessels being ordered to proceed about the Ist
of every month with the mails, and relieve another
from duty on the coast. The sailing vessels at pre-
sent on the African station are to be withdrawn as
soon as steamers are ready to replace them, and no
sailing vessels will in future he employed for the sup-
pression of the slave trade. The Alecto steam sloop
of 800 tons, with engines of 200-horse power, built
at Chatham in 1839, from a design by Captain Sir
William Symonds, and fitted with paddle-wheels
was the first vessel visited by his Lordship and the
Surveyor of the Navy. The Alecto was recently
condemned as unfit for further service, but she is
now in the east dock having new planking put on, and
other repairs effected, and may yet be capable of a
lengthened period of service. After a short visit to
San Fiorenzo, 50, building on the slip at the east
end of the yard they returned to the basin at the west
end, and went on board the Firefly steam-vessel,
Commander George A. Seymour, commissioned dur-
ing the present month, and to take out the October
mails for the coast of Africa. The Firefly is 550
tons burden, with engines of 220-horse power by
Maudslay, Son, and Field, and fitted with paddle-.
wheels ; her last service was on the coast of Africa.
The Wasp steam-sloop, fitted with a acrevv-propeller ;
the Geyser steam-sloop, fitted with paddle-wheels and
engines of 280-horse power, by Seaward and Capel ;
and the Buzzard, fitted with paddle-wheels and en-
gines of 300-horse power, by John Penn and Son;
and the Volcano, 350-horse power, engines by Rennie,
were also minutely inspected in the basin, and ere all
in an advanced state rearly ready for service. The
Geyser is ready as an advanced war-steamer, and the
Wasp will be ready for commission by the Ist of next
month. The factory was visited after the vessels, and
his Lordship and Sir Baldwin Walker then left for
town, when they concluded their inspection, which
occupied upwards of three hours.
The Teazer steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander
J. H. Selwin, arrived here today from the coast of
Africa, and last from Cork, where she was obliged to
put in. Commodore Henry Eden inspected her in the
afternoon, the crew were mustered and went through
their exercises in a highly creditable manner, and
appeared an active body of men. The Teazer had
taken four prizes during the short period she was on
the coast. She was principally employed in con-
veying parties of troops and Royal Marines up the
rivers, and has brought home a piece of brass
ordnance from the Gambia, which bears the date
1650; although it is 200 years old, and of Dutch
make, it is loaded at the breach, and the charge and
shot kept in their proper position, inside the gun, by a
quoin nearly similar to the plan of the gun submitted
to the select committee at Woolwich by Major Ca-
valii, of the Sardinian eervice, and now at Shoebury-
ness, having exile/intents made with it. The gun
brought home in the Teazer belonged to one of the
native chief;, and was found in the bush. The crew
had it fitted en the capstan, and have often fired it,
but they say it takes longer time to load it and fire
than it would to load from the mouth of the piece.
The Fir( fly steam-vessel, Commander George A.
Seymour, is to be taken out of the basin on Monday,
and will leave for Greeuhithe to have her compasses
adjusted on the 25th instant, and then to proceed to
Plymouth to be paid in advance, and take out the
mails of the Ist of October to the coast of Africa.
The Geyser steam-sloop, although ordered to be
telten to Sheerness to be kept in ordinary as an
advanced war steamer, will in all probability remain
here and be commissioned at thisport, Mr.llumphrys,
chief engineer, having stated 'to Rear-Admiral
Berkeley and Sir Baldwin Walker to-day that it
would be better for her to be employed on active
service at once than to lay her up in ordinary.
PRAITIRGIiE DOCKYARD, SEPT. 21.—A martello
tower, in accordance with the report of the officers of
the
on
is forthwith to be constructed
Satiaßlig

Jock,cer commanding the entrance arid
approachestlilleY to Milford Haven. This fortification will
be built in the most substantial manner, arid mounted
with the most powerful and effective ordnance.
Misers. Jackson, of London, have entered into the
contract for its erection, which will be commenced
immediately and pushed forward with all possible
dispatch.
The Marten, 12-gun brig, built on the plan of Sir
William Symonds, late Surveyor to the Navy, was
launched on Thursday evening. This is the lest
launch frcm this dockyard during the present year.
A company of Sappers and Miners, under the di-
rection of an officer of the corps of Engineers, have
been engaged in surreyirg the coast for the Admi-
ralty; they have erected towers for the purpose of
taking their levels end observations at Cardigan
Island, Mount, and other places on the Pembrokeshire
side of the river Tivy.

FATAL ACCIDLIM—Between nine and ten o'clock
en Saturday morning, a lofty scaffolding, erected in front of
the house No. 23, Commerce-place, Brixton-road, occupied
by Mr. Alvey, stationer, came dawn with a tremendous
crash. There were two bricklayers and a labourer on the
upper platform, all of whom fell on the footway pavement.
The labourer, who escaped with some slight bruises, was
taken to his own home, but the bricklayers received such se-
rious contusions, that they were immediately removed to
St. Thomas's Hospital, where ono of them,. named Cooper,
died in the course of the day. The other man,. whose skull
is fractured, is considered in a very precarious state.
