AMERICAN NEWS.

• TWO DAYS LATER.
SOUTHAMPTON, WispAr • A iTERN 007. C.

The Washington steam-ship, Captain Floyd, ar-
rived in Cowes Roads, soon after noon to-day, from
New York, which port she left on the 20th ult.
She bringsl34 passengers, in the aggregate, 33 of
whom proceeded to Southampton, and the remainder
sailed to Bremen in the Washington. The Wash-
ington had specie to the amount of 50,000 dollars
only, and a full freight, the principal portion of which
is for Bremen.

The news of the result of the Cuban expedition was
expected in a few days. There was considerable
anxiety to know the result. It will, no doubt, be con-
veyed to England by the Niagara, which was to leave
New York on the 22d.

Nevvt: had been received from Havannab, from
which it appears the cholera was on the decline.
The. Blasco de Garay, a Spanish war-steamer,
had arrived in Havannab, to protect Cuba from the
threatened invasion. Four others were hourly ex-
pected.
The late news from England had produced a very
depressing effect upon the commerce of Cuba.
A private letter from Havannah states that the
Spanish authorities were fully prepared, and only
waiting to give the invaders a hearty reception with
powder and ball. Spanish cruisers were hovering
about the coast in all directions.

From Washington we learn that immediately the
authorities had beard of the departure of General
Lopez, on the 6th ult., for Cuba, they issued orders
to the navy department that the expedition should
be intercepted, if possible, and every assistance ren-
dered the Spanish authorities to put down the insur-
rection.
The Hibernia had arrived out. Her news was
considered favourable, both in a commercial and
political point of view. Much excitement hid taken
place on the Stock Exchange, and considerable spe-
culation was going on, every person being anxious
to buy stocks. Just previous to the sailing of the
Washington, however, sales were becoming more
languid.
Tile Bill to facilitate the issue of gold coin for de-
posits of bullion in the mint had passed both Houses
of Congress.

NEW YORK CITY TRADE REPORT.
SATURDAY, MAY 18, SIX P M.
The cotton market continued firm, while sales were
limited. This being the last day of the week, there
were fewer brokers on 'Change than usual. The
flour market continued to stiffen, and sales of State
and Western were made at an improvement of 6i c.
to 121 c. per barrel. Canadian flour veJs in good
demand, with an upward tendency in prices.
Southern brands were also in speculative demand,
with increased sales, and at improving rates. Wheat
was held' at an advance of from 3 to 5 cents per
bushel,, but no transactions of moment were reported.
The market was well supplied with western corn,
but it was bare of southern. There was no marked
change in prices, while sales were pretty freely made.
The market for pork was less buoyant, and it was
easier to purchase at the close, the advanced views of
holders having checked operations. Beef was firm,
and in better demand. Cut meats w ere is steady
demand. There continues to be a Lair inquiry for
lard, but the prices were somewhat less buoyant.
Coffee was in moderate demand, and prices favoured
purchasers. There continued to be an active demand
for sugars. and prices closed firm, at fe. advance over
those current in the fore part of the week. •

LATER from the UNITED STATES.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

The British and North American Royal Mail

Newfoundland, &c.

The Niagara brings a large cargo and an average
number of passengers.
The steam-ship Europa arrived at New York on
the 24th ult. Her passage-out occupied 13 days.

LATER INTELLIGE.ti CE BY TELEGRAPH
TO HALIFAX.

The following additional intelligence, comprising
two days' later news from the priocipal cities and
ports of the United States, was received at Halifsx
previous to the Niagara's departure from that port,
by electric telegraph, from the New York offices of
the above company.
Grinnell's expedition in search of Sir John Frank-
lin had already sal-d on their mission.
A destructive fire had taken place at Charleston.
Another dreadful steam-boat disaster is reported,
one of the largest vessels on the river being burned
Tne advices from Havannah are to the 17th of
May, per the steamer Guadalquiver. They report
that much uneasiness had been exhibi,ed by the
Spanish authorities regarding the expected invasion
of the island. The expedition had not landed,
neither had anything been seen of the vessels com-
prising it.
The defensive preparations by the Spanish were
said to be miserably deficient.
Cholera is continuing its ravages on the western
rivers.

A violent negro insurrection bad broken out at
Gluckloupe.

Advices from Toronto report that the answer to the
Speech, recommending that the Court of Chancery be
abolished and an equitable jurisdiction extended to
common law, was rejected. The annexation question
stood next for discussion. Ministers were likely to
have a strong majority.
