NEWS FROM AMERICA.

We have received, by the George Washington
packet, Captain Allen, New. York papers to the 9th
ult. This fine vessel reached Liverpool yesterday
morning, at eight o'clock, and brings intelligence six
days later. than that brought by the last packet. The
discussion on the tariff was still going on in Congress,
but without any result. One memorial was presented
which is a good omen, and honourable to the Hud-
son's Bay Company,=• It stated that, from sixty to
seventy emigrants to the Oregon had been driven
from the territory by the Hudson's Bay men. We
have no doubt the Hudson's Bay men will defend
their rights, and allow no squatters in their dominions.
We see no other intelligence of interest in the papers.

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, FEB. 8.
Speculation in Cotton has been so high, and there is
so deep a stake, both here and in the South, in the
article, that great interest is felt, and the market is in a
most excited state. The news, therefore, by the
Roscius, being to the 13th tilt., from Liverpool, was
looked for and received with unusual interest. The
market had begun to flag, and prices had fallen off from
is to per cent. This news being favourable, will have
an important influence to revive the spirits of holders.

We have intelligence to the 29th December from the Cape
of Good Hope. One writer states :—" Since my last, infor-
mation has reached me of the release by Moeke of the Loyalist
farmers, who had been arrested by him on their way as a
deputation to the • British Commissioner at Natal. Their
papers were seized and copies taken, but the originals were
returned to them, and they were allowed to prosecute their
journey.
" A fracas had taken place between one of Moeke's and
one of Oberhanster's field cornets. The former went to the
residence of the latter, by order of Moeke, to take into cus-
tody an individual charged with treachery towards him. The
execution of this order was, however, resisted, a battle with
yoke keys ensued, and the upshot of the affray was that the
Loyalist field cornet carne off victorious.
" The locusts have destroyed all the crops of the emigrant"
between the Mod-der river and Philipolis district : Stennen-
burgh Spruit has also suffered severely. The ravages of this
insect in the Colesburgh district have been considerable,
though partial." '
There had been a fight between the Tambookies and the
Galekas (Kreili's tribe), in which 100 Tambookies, at least,
have fallen. It appears that for some time the conflict was
sustained with equal success on baorteh
